Pope Calls For World Central Bank
I can admit that I can get carried away with throwing rocks at the throne, sometimes. It is easy to overlook the difficulty of governance and often absolute power. It is easy to criticize those in power for greed, arrogance, stupidity and sloth. After all, I don't have to make the decisions they do and do not carry the weight of those responsibilities. We all make mistakes and even in the worst of times, everyone from Wall Street to Washington and down to Main Street, deserves a break.
Everyone, but the Pope, that is...
Earlier this week, the Vatican called for the establishment of a "global public authority" and a "central world bank." This authority allegedly becoming necessary due to "the idolatry of the market" and rampant "neo-liberal thinking". How much space is really left on this idiotic bandwagon if the Pope is jumping aboard?
It is pretty damn funny when the only millennium old political power on the planet talks about the need for "a supranational authority" and "universal jurisdiction" to guide economic policy and decision making. You like big government and planned economics? It doesn't get much bigger than Pope.
An 18-page document from the Vatican's Justice and Peace department said the financial downturn had revealed behaviours like "selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale," adding that world economics needed an "ethic of solidarity" among rich and poor nations.
That's right, kids. Need a loan. Call Pope. Need to civilize savage. Call Pope. Pesky peasant won't move off fertile land. Call Pope. Little boy telling truth again. Call Pope. Global economy in trouble. Definitely... call Pope.
Consulting the Holy See on financial matters is much like asking a serial rapist to run a gynecology clinic. No matter what you hope for, getting fucked is the only possible outcome.
If there is one office or entity on the planet which should be barred from speaking on social and especially economic issues, it is the Vatican. As the world's largest land holder and promoter of some of history's greatest purges and violent conflicts I really cannot imagine a more hypocritical preacher of "equality" and "common good".
Clearly, a centralized global financial system has been in the works for a long time. I don't believe that it can ever actually happen, but it is clearly the preference of the few. "Our" own Federal Reserve system is a clear rung on the ladder to a United Nations Bank. Though this sort of story seems like a joke, rolling eyes and laughing is done at one's own peril.
Can anyone pose a logical argument for the establishment of a Central World Bank?
Between Saudi sheiks buying up British soccer teams and a Pope preaching global socialism I feel like I live in a world which is increasingly revolving around its own asshole. All the while it surreptitiously fucks itself in broad daylight and screams I'm not like that

NO. Government is a broken system because it's run by imperfect people. It is one of the many broken aspects of human society. The good news is that the system of sovereign nations helps put checks and balances on governments and keeps them from getting too far out of control. If we move to a national currency, this could be a prelude to a single global government. Nobody wants that.

Stop priest man-boy rape and then maybe I will give a shit. This is partially why I denounce the current state of Catholicism. There is a higher power, but he certainly doesn't care about forming global governments and if anything God is more likely to condemn the atrocities of the state than ask all the assholes to form under one universal power.
Oh, and the shit that would be started by one fixed global currency would be a disaster. Bretton Woods to the millionth magnitude.

Well if you have actually ever read the Bible you wouldn't be saying "some nut job......." Despite what you may have been taught by society which makes statements about it without ever reading it. The Bible was wrote over a period of 2800 years. Which was written by 40 different authors over that span in time and can be scientifically validated as in the Bible so far 1735 prophecies on over 600 different subject matters proven with secular sources. In addition there is no contradiction among the 40 authors who with God's will wrote 66 books to complete the Bible as a whole.
No other book throughout history is able to say the same claims. Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Native American religions, Wiccan, etc do not have the validity like the Bible. Catholicism also doesnt follow the Bible too.
Myself being a researcher I'm willing to send you a thousand dollars if you can find a prophecy that was supposed to happen but hasn't yet? Now to keep the rift raft down if you fail to provide evidence you send me $500 otherwise I'd be getting a bunch of poorly thought out responses. The Bible can be proven like a science. Also just to start things off please don't mention Genesis 1 when Elimhem (Hebrew word for God in reference to father, son and Holy spirit) made the Earth because then I'm going to have to discuss Quantum Physics. The shit we were taught in school wasnt correct in regards to history. There's plenty of evidence that the big bang theory is bs. How can you have something that was created from nothing? Makes no sense.

Also you will notice a lot of the symbols of Islam and Catholicism are the same. Why would that be the case?
A few thoughts on this, in no
A few thoughts on this, in no particular order:
1. The U.N. is the new world order, but is toothless and will remain so for generations.
2. The Vatican is playing to the third world, where the Church is actually growing.
3. So ^ implicitly, we are being sold out - Explicitly, we don't care nor should we.
4. It's not socialism or social justice, it's called 'Liberation Theology', OK??!!
5. A) Euro failing miserably B) ??? C) COOL, let's do it on a global scale!
6. I'm sorry, that was rude, can I make a deposit on an indulgence?
7. What system of interest rates will not violate usury mandates?
8. Pope recommends name: "Banco Ambrosiano, part deux"
9. Free child when you open a new account?

Actually, this is what the nuttier Protestants are claiming. If you see folks referring to the Vatican as "Rome" and the Pope as "The Beast" and claiming that Catholics worship Mary rather than Jesus, they're the folks convinced that the Pope is the Antichrist, will establish a 7-year one world government, kill all the true Christians, and then Jesus will return in glory to judge the living and the dead and establish his 1000 year reign.
Some of us more moderate (post-millenial/amillenial) protestants believe that most of this stuff probably happened thousands of years ago under the Emperor Nero and later with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The earthquake, moon turning red, and stars falling from the sky symbolizes the destruction of Pompeii; the four horsemen symbolize the economic and military destruction that would bring the empire to its knees. Of course, Christ's return is still in the future and may happen in the next hour or in 4.5 Billion years. That said, given that 2000 years have passed, it would be precipitous to assume he's probably coming back in our lifetimes.
Trust me, the Jack Chick/ fundygelical crowd is going to be in a total tizzy over this. I'm not concerned because I know this is a ridiculous idea and the Catholics are just like any other Christian denomination, but other folks (the Earthquake crowd) are going to be losing hair and claiming the end is near.

Where do we start with this? Yes, it's possible to prove God even with acausal processes from Aquinas's first order argument- pi and e had to come from somewhere. Even if they came from a set of infinite universes, somebody still had to pick the cardinality. I think it's fairly easy to embarass atheism (though not clockmaker Deism) with that although Christianity or any religion that requires faith will always be impossible to prove.
Genesis being the literal word of God does not mean we should throw out the science textbooks and claim the earth was created as if it had been around for billions of years exactly 7000 years ago. There's a gazillion ways to read the first few chapters of Genesis, and in fact there are two creation stories in it. For all we know those events happened literally and man made his choice before pi and e were even pulled out of a hat. The main thing is that we had the opportunity to live in a perfect world but WE screwed it up.

I'm Catholic and I understand
I'm Catholic and I understand where the Pope is coming from. The financial crisis has caused so much suffering and pain in the world, while a very few benefit. That said he is not an economist and should not IMHO, say anything about the issue. I mean look at Islam, their sharia law against riba is killing modern banking in the MENA. Theologist =/= economists at any level.
Another Note: I wish I could buy an indulgence. I remember in AP Euro talking about how some people bought the super expensive ones that absolved them of their future sins and then proceeded to rob back their donation. lol
