Most Catholics are unaware that a century ago, the Catholic Church proposed its own "Great Reset" or "New World Order" started by Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius XI. This Great Reset or New World Order was grounded on Catholic social teaching, based on the human person and centered on God. The Catholic World Report wrote about this information, According to the Catholic World Report
A century ago the Church proposed its own version of a Great Reset, rooted in Catholic social teaching. But much of this teaching is forgotten, simply ignored, or even misrepresented.
Catholic social teaching has been called the “Church’s best kept secret”, and with good reason. The two foundational encyclicals (Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum [RV]and Pope Pius XI’s Quadragesimo Anno [QA]), other encyclicals on social topics, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), and the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church provide a cohesive vision for society. In addition, we have the writings of those who developed the theology of the Church’s teaching as well as those instrumental in composing the encyclicals....
Taken together, these very clearly present the basic ideas of Catholic Social Teaching. Yet, much of this teaching is forgotten, simply ignored, or even misrepresented.
The Pope's plan for "New World Order" is anchored on God and based on the human person while the Biden Administration and the Left-wing radicals left God out of the picture, and is not even based on the human person. Much of Pope Francis' "New World Order" came from the encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius XI, and St. Pope John Paul II. According to the The Catholic National Register (the bold is mine):
'Great Reset' Plan Parallels Some of Pope's Initiatives - But there's a Crucial Difference
Like the plan's promoters, the Holy Father also believes the global economy needs to be reshaped coming out of the pandemic; but unlike them, his vision is anchored in God's grace.......
Cardinal Gerhard Müller, prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said he welcomes economists and politicians meeting to discuss the world economy, as the economy must benefit everyone and not a select few. But he wonders what “image of humanity” is held by WEF members and those of other similar select groups. As for the initiatives such as the Great Reset, he takes a decidedly jaundiced view.
Without directly referring to the initiative, he told the Register Jan. 29 that two sides — “profiteering capitalism, big-tech giants of Western countries” and the “communism of the People’s Republic of China” — are today “converging and merging into a unified capital-socialism,” producing a “new colonialism” that the Pope has “often warned against.”
The goal, Cardinal Müller believes, “is absolute control of thought, speech and action.”
Rather than follow such initiatives, which he describes as theological-political visions linked to liberation theology, he believes the Church should apply the social doctrine of the Church “in its original and authentic formulation given by Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Rerum Novarum and by Pope John Paul II in his encyclicals Laborem Exercens and Centesimus Annus.” The world, he said, needs “well-founded, solid, clear and effective” theories “that refer to the great values of the Western tradition” and which “really bring order to the world.”
But perhaps the most significant danger of the Great Reset initiative is its utopian-atheistic vision, according to some critics. Schwab and Malleret, for instance, never once mention God or religion in their book, or leave any room for the transcendent.
Therefore, this "New World Order" that the Pope speaks of is based on something that was already written a century ago by Pope Leo XIII.
In Addition, Pope Francis also spoke about climate change. He believed the rhetoric that "97% of scientists believed that climate change was primarily caused by humans as they continuously burn fossil fuels." The problem with this rhetoric was that it was never proclaimed by scientists or any study. It was proclaimed by politicians.
The one who made this claim was former President Barack Obama. The second person who made the same claim was John Kerry (another politician). And when asked to cite the study showing that 97% of scientists believed that climate change was primarily caused by humans, he backed down. This rhetoric is completely false. Most in the political world believes that climate change was primarily caused by humans, but the scientific community is divided on the issue.
So, when it comes to climate change, who should I listen to....the politicians who claim 97% or the scientists who are divided 50-50? I would go by the scientist because they are the experts. And the experts cite a number of various factors causing climate change and are still researching as to what percentage human activity have on climate change. The 97% is completely false. See the article here.
When Pope Francis says that as stewards of the earth, mankind has a responsibility to take care of the earth, this is truth. However, when he says that 97% or the majority of scientists say that climate change was primarily caused by humans, this is NOT truth. This is why I disagree with the Pope's stand on climate change. The Pope here is not citing truth because there is no research study showing that 97% of scientists believe climate change was primarily caused by humans. This claim was made by politicians while the scientific community remains divided on the issue. According to the Fraser Institute:
In 2012 the American Meteorological Society (AMS) surveyed its 7,000 members, receiving 1,862 responses. Of those, only 52% said they think global warming over the 20th century has happened and is mostly man-made (the IPCC position). The remaining 48% either think it happened but natural causes explain at least half of it, or it didn’t happen, or they don’t know. Furthermore, 53% agree that there is conflict among AMS members on the question.
So no sign of a 97% consensus. Not only do about half reject the IPCC conclusion, more than half acknowledge that their profession is split on the issue.
When the Pope speaks of politics, foreign policy, sports, science, and anything outside the realm of faith and morals, he can make a mistake. This error does not make him a false prophet or a Left-wing radical. Cardinal Muller made clear that the Pope does not have the same beliefs as the Left-wing radicals.
