Is Pope Francis Laying The Groundwork for a One World Religion?

Does Pope Francis intend to help the global elite achieve their
goal of uniting all of the religions of the world under a single
banner?  Will he be instrumental in establishing a single global
religion for the glorious “new age” that the global elite believe is
coming? 

After he was elected, the cover of Time Magazine declared
Pope Francis to be the “New
World Pope“, and since his election Pope Francis has made it
abundantly clear that he is going to make ecumenical outreach a top
priority.  He has spoken of his “determination
to continue on the path of ecumenical dialogue“, and he has
already held a number of very high profile ecumenical meetings. 

Not only has he worked hard to reach out to leaders from various
Christian traditions, he has also made it a point to try to
acknowledge the mutual bonds that he feels with all other religions. 
For example, in one

recent address he made it a point to say that he believes
that Muslims worship and pray to the “one God” that he also
worships. 

This “all roads lead to the same God” philosophy is a
hallmark of the one world religion that the global elite have been
slowly building toward for decades.  The global elite know that even
with a one world economy and a one world government, humanity will
never be truly united until there is a single global religion. 
Unfortunately, this one world religion that they are seeking to
establish is diametrically opposed to the Christianity that we find
in the Bible. 

By throwing out Biblical truth for the sake of “friendship
between men and women of different religious traditions“, is
Pope Francis fundamentally betraying the faith that he claims to
represent?

If there is going to be a one world religion, there will have to
be a bond formed between Roman Catholicism and Islam.  They are the
two largest religious traditions on the planet, and so any truly
“global religion” would definitely require the participation of both
of them.

That is one reason why what Pope Francis has already had to say
about Islam is so noteworthy.  The following comes from remarks that
he made

during his very first ecumenical meeting…

“I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends
belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the
Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call
upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your
presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in
mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.

“The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of promoting
friendship and respect between men and women of different
religious traditions – I wish to repeat this: promoting
friendship and respect between men and women of different
religious traditions – it also attests the valuable work that
the Pontifical Council for interreligious dialogue performs.”

But are “Allah” and the God of the Bible the same thing?

Of course not.  For example, Christians believe that Jesus Christ
is God.  Muslims deny this vehemently.  For much more on why “Allah”
and the God of the Bible are not the same, please see
this article.

So either Pope Francis is denying the divinity of Jesus Christ,
or he is exhibiting a frightening ignorance of basic Christian
theology, or there is some other agenda at work here.

During

that same ecumenical meeting, Pope Francis also made it a
point to state that he feels “close” to those that belong “to any
religious tradition”…

“In this, we feel close even to all those men and women who,
whilst not recognizing themselves belonging to any religious
tradition, feel themselves nevertheless to be in search of
truth, goodness and beauty, this truth, goodness and beauty of
God, and who are our precious allies in efforts to defend the
dignity of man, in building a peaceful coexistence among peoples
and in guarding Creation carefully.”

It is one thing to love people and to seek to build friendships
with them, but it is another thing entirely to throw out the most
basic beliefs of the faith that you supposedly represent in order to
promote a specific agenda.

And Pope Francis definitely appears to have an agenda.  On

another occasion, Pope Francis declared that it was time “to
intensify dialogue” with other religions, and that he was “thinking
particularly of dialogue with Islam.”

But this affinity for Islam did not just begin recently.  The
truth is that Pope Francis was working hard to build bridges with
Islam

even when he was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires…

“’His humility drew my attention,’ Sheik Mohsen Ali, an
important Islamic leader in Argentina, told the Buenos Aires
Herald. He ‘always showed himself a friend of the Islamic
community.’”

And Pope Francis has a reputation for being a cleric that really
“knows
Islam“…

“Sumer Noufouri, secretary-general of the Islamic Center of
the Republic of Argentina, told the Buenos Aires Herald that the
new pope is a ‘respectful, pro-dialogue person who knows
Islam.’”

But of course Pope Francis is not just reaching out to the
Islamic world.

He has also been working hard to “intensify dialogue” with other
Christian traditions.

In particular, he seems

quite interested in improving relations with the Orthodox
churches of the east…

“Before his address, the
pope had a private meeting with

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew from Istanbul, who
attended Francis’s inaugural Mass on Tuesday. It was the first
time the spiritual head of Orthodox Christians had attended a
Roman pope’s inaugural Mass since the Great Schism between
western and eastern Christianity in 1054.

“At Wednesday’s meeting, Francis called Bartholomew ‘my
brother Andrew,’ a reference to the apostle who was the brother
of St. Peter and was the first bishop of the Church of
Byzantium. Francis also held a private session with Metropolitan
Hilarion, the foreign minister of the Russian Orthodox Church,
the largest in the Orthodox world.”

It won’t happen tomorrow, of course, but could Pope Francis be
the Pope that brings the Roman Catholics and the Orthodox back
together?

And of course a one world religion will not appear overnight
either.  There are far too many differences to overcome right now.

But as the world becomes increasingly unstable, people are going
to be looking for answers.  After the world is ravaged by economic
collapse, food shortages, nightmarish pandemics, unprecedented
natural disasters and horrifying wars, will it finally be ready for
a one world religion that promises “peace and friendship” among all
of the religions of the globe?

This is something to watch for in the years ahead.  The global
elite desperately want a single global religion, and they will keep
moving things in that direction.

For now, Pope Francis just seems to be laying the groundwork for
the one world religion that is coming.  There is a 900-year-old
prophecy that indicates that Pope Francis could be
the last Pope.  If that prophecy is true, then it will be very
important to watch the actions of this Pope very carefully.

So what do you think about all of this?  [Here is our email
