Turns Out the "Vatican Call" for a Central Bank was from a Flunky in the Backroom

I said to a friend last night that the "Vatican" document sounded like it was written by one person who had read George Soros and no one else. It turns out that just might be the case. Candice Blackburn emails:


I came across some info on the recent press release you wrote about, the vast majority of the Press got the source of the document wrong. Here is a further explanation as to the origins of the document. Doesn’t make the items proposed any less insane, but it does clarify that it isn’t exactly coming from the Vatican per se:

George Weigel writes:

The truth of the matter is that “the Vatican” — whether that phrase is intended to mean the Pope, the Holy See, the Church’s teaching authority, or the Church’s central structures of governance — called for precisely nothing in this document. The document is a “Note” from a rather small office in the Roman Curia. The document’s specific recommendations do not necessarily reflect the settled views of the senior authorities of the Holy See; indeed, Fr. Federico Lombardi, the press spokesman for the Vatican, was noticeably circumspect in his comments on the document and its weight. As indeed he ought to have been. The document doesn’t speak for the Pope, it doesn’t speak for “the Vatican,” and it doesn’t speak for the Catholic Church.
Regardless of where the document came from, Tom Woods has an important commentary on the points raised, here.

  1. Does it matter? Why should the opinions of any promoters of mythology be taken seriously? Let them be the "experts" on their fairy tales alone.

    How would this be any different if these peddlers of falsehood "worshiped" leprechauns instead? Or Zeus for that matter?

    Irrationality and falsehood should be abandoned. Reason, truth and evidence is infinitely more preferable.

    1. Yeah well Tom Woods is a promoter of "mythology". Guess he shouldn't be taken seriously on anything he says either eh?

      Try to not act like a bigot and think before you speak.

  2. If you study the way the world works you know the Vatican is a corupt tool of the elite...therefore having the Vatican support a worldwide internantional bank is no surprise. What do you think Kissinger is talking with the Pope about here?

    You think Kissinger is asking forgivenes for bombing a bunch of Cambodians and helping Pol Pot get into power? not likely

  3. Anonymous from 1:16pm, don't be a dill, throughout history the Vatican has long advocated for individual rights and free trade whilst rallying against the state, collectivism. See Jeff Tucker here:

  4. The Catholic cliamte covenant is propaganda promoting the carbon tax. Face it, the catholic church is a corrupt controlled institution. http://catholicclimatecovenant.org/ If the vatican doesn't supprot a carbon tax, a worldwide central bank, the UN, The IMF, the BIS and David Rockefeller/Henry Kissinger then why don't they come out and say so...instead they give them photo ops and papers as posted above

  5. The vatican is still very powerful behind the scenes. If they are calling for a world bank, you can bet that it is already planned.
