Where Does The Pope Fit In?

QUESTION:

C.S. has one other question regarding the New World Order. "Where does the Pope fit into all of this? And why is the Vatican so tolerant of Eastern religions if there supposedly is "no salvation outside the church?"

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that it is probably best described as professional courtesy. The Pope can be courteous to other religious orders, in a kind of professional courtesy, while the priests who deal with individuals can be more specific in describing that there is no salvation other than through the church.

This Awareness indicates that the Catholic Church is more concerned with its own survival and its principles and doctrines than with political conflicts and therefore, it does not take a strong stand against the New World Order.

This Awareness indicates that even during World War II, the church was able to tolerate the fascist regime of Mussolini and the Nazi invasion of Italy during the wartime period, and it was able to switch quickly to accept the allies as they moved into Italy and removed the Nazis.

This Awareness indicates it is likely that it will simply continue its position as a Catholic Church and allow the One World Government to unfold around it. The only thing is that when the One World Government begins to set up a One World Religion, it may require the Catholic Church to make certain compromises and to accept certain changes in its philosophy.

It is likely that if this were to occur, the church would simply call a convention of bishops and become more tolerant of other religions, and accept certain changes in the belief and dogma of the church, to allow it to continue in a kind of coexistence with the other religions of the New World Order, so that there was no great conflict that might disrupt or create conflict between religions.

The purpose of the New World Order’s program for One Religion is to prevent religious wars so that all religions would gradually become so similar that there is not enough reason for religious wars to exist. This Awareness reminds you of the time in Rome when religious conflicts were tearing Rome apart and they were brought together and told "to form one religion that all of you can live with, and anyone who does not join in with this action will have a religion that is not recognized by the state!" Thus, they came together and formed the Catholic (which means Universal) Church of Rome and it embraced the various religious sects of Rome at the time. This Awareness indicates that this became the foundation or basis of the Christian religion as taught by the Roman Catholic Church.

This Awareness indicates that you are at a time when the New World Order is preparing to do the same thing with all of the major religions of the world, and if these religions cannot come together in a kind of universal religion, they will not be recognized by the New World Order.

This Awareness indicates a question may be asked here: "Who cares if the religion is recognized by the New World Order or not?" This Awareness indicates the Truth is the only true religion, and if entities can find truth in a religion that is fine. If they cannot find the truth in a religion, then they must look elsewhere.

WHEN THE POPE VISITED THE U.S. THIS SUMMER

In the August issue of Flashpoint, a newsletter ministry of Texe Marrs, who’s a rather vocal Fundamentalist, I’d like to read just a little of this and ask Awareness if this is valid. He writes: (this has already happened) "Pope John Paul II is coming to America again, this time to spiritually "globalize’ the world’s youth and to declare a New World Religious Order. What’s more, President Bill Clinton is helping the Pope implement his extraordinary plan, and Chuck Colson — wittingly or unwittingly — is playing a small but key role in the unfolding end- times agenda. What is happening is stupendous: It is the coming together of all the religious abominations of the earth. This is the energizing of the Whore of Babylon, the Mother of Harlots who has many "daughters" — our planet’s multitude of false religions and cults. The Pope and one of his secret orders, the Knights of Columbus, are teaming up to conduct a ‘World Youth Day’ event in Denver, Colorado, this August 11 to 15, 1993. Organizers day that more than 124,000 young adults from over 70 nations are expected. At least that many older adults will also be on hand, and some are saying that the total audience in Denver may exceed 500,000. In Denver, the Pontiff will make a major address in which he will call for a "spiritual" New World Order and urge the unity of all faiths, religions, and sects. The Pope’s talk will be broadcast internationally to an audience of over two billion people."

It goes on and on, but the question is: Is it significant that the Pope is talking about a spiritual New World Order in relation to the New World Order scheme?

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates the Pope is covering his bases. If the New World Order comes into being, the Pope wants to make sure that the Catholic Church has a place in it. This Awareness indicates that the entity in writing with condemning terms about this effort of the Pope, simply is promoting his own personal religious feelings, in seeing that the Pope is in error, he shows that he thinks his religion is better, and the Pope shows that he thinks the Catholic religion is the one that needs to be center-most in the New World Order.

It is typical for all religions, for entities representing them, to see other religions as false, and to see their own religion as the "right one." This is simply a conflict of religious opinion. These religious arguments have gone on since the beginning of time. Therefore, there is nothing significant in this.

This Awareness indicates the significance being only in that many entities will buy the Pope’s message more quickly than will buy the other entity’s message because the Pope got a bigger audience from his message. But this Awareness suggests also, the entity who objected to the Pope’s visit may have solidified his small audience behind him somewhat stronger for his message.
