Curious : Vatican calls for " a supernational authority & universal jurisdiction "

[thomashenry]

What others may think of something such as this, {10/24- Reuters-the Vatican specifically called for the establishment of a supernational authority with worldwide scope and universal jurisdiction to guide economic policies & decisions !} kinda interesting to me,---------------------- also there was a little discussed article about what happened in Louisiana recently, the state legislature passed a BILL {hb195} signed by Jindal that says "That anyone buying or selling any second hand goods {cannot use cash in the transaction} ", ya know legal tender for all debts public, & private-----------just curious as to what others takes are such things, not trying to stir the pot, these actions are not ficticious they are actual

[OTH51]

Stir that pot good sir. I saw both of these this AM and was quite shocked. Jindal more than anything. Can you say unconstitutional boys and girls.

Social justice for all and profits for the Vatican Bank.

Well, theocracies work so well in the Middle East .... I guess it just makes sense that we should implement one worldwide.

what happened in Louisiana recently, the state legislature passed a BILL {hb195} signed by Jindal that says "That anyone buying or selling any second hand goods {cannot use cash in the transaction} ", ya know legal tender for all debts public, & private-

What was the purpose of this bill? Taxes?

[jnwaco]

I think it's a horrible idea (and I am a Christian).

Look at the EU. They combined their currency and in doing so, chained themselves to the lowest common demoninator in the EU - Greece. So, instead of having a localized crisis in Greece, we now have a chain of EU banks and governments exposed and in trouble.

As for the Lousianna law, which was approved by Republicans and Democrats, all I can say is "wow, that's idiotic".

what do you mean by this, oth?


Relating to the topic, thomashenry...I don't think it's a good idea. I'm actually surprised that the Vatican is taking this stance, honestly.

Even if the vatican isn't in charge of it, and it's not religious in nature, it's still a horrible idea.

What was the purpose of this bill? Taxes?

Yep. People skipping out on the 4% sales tax. Government is hurting for revenue and since they cannot control their drunken sailor spending, they're going after taxpayers.

so just curious... are you implying that the Vatican has a self serving interest in wanting a super national economy? (edit, or a better way of stating that...a global oversight over the economy)

It is exactly what the article indicates, it`s not an implication, it is a stated goal and your a decent person with savvy & common sense as well as insight, isn`t there a certain book that indicates "that no man might buy or sell, save he have the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name " or that since the devil masquerades as an angel of light that " it is not suprising then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness"

Wait a minute...is the ''servant'' in this case...the Vatican?

Wow, thomas. Just wow.

[thomashenry]

Wow, thomas. Just wow.

I cannot state for certain, but So many things are happening in such a rapid fashion, seeing this article was kind of startling to me to say the least as well as the other one about Louisiana, I just cannot explain them in a normal fashion ! some things and I try not to be a fool, just hit you square in the face and coincide & confirm with what I believe & have read

[thomashenry]

Wow, thomas. Just wow.

If I knew how to paste the article on here I would as well as the other article from "american thinker ", the title of the article was "the beast comes to the bayou" it was from last week

That's exactly what I said, no implication necessary. Theocracies never die, they just lie low for a while.

Next they will be out right supporting OWS.

A biblical reference mixed with one author's editorial opinion? And we take this for fact? Sigh.
With all due respect, we’re all entitled to our opinions, but it would be unfortunate if this thread turns into nothing more than bashing the RCC. That’s all I’m saying.

[GnomusMaximus]

I just read the Reuters article not sure where you're all worked up there. And I doubt you've read the original document, unless you are fluent in Italian, because it was just released today and is only available in Italian.

I was curious about the Louisiana Bill and had some time so I went at some local sources. Apparently it is for second hand stores not for all second hand sales. The idea behind it is that people were fencing stolen stuff at an alarming rate, especially from houses (I assume abandoned ones from Katrina, but that is my assumption). The law requires check or money order or electronic transactions which would be more traceable. I understand the idea, but I agree it will be overturned with a quickness and seems like a waste of time to me.

You are absolutely correct in that we all are entitled to our opinions, that is essentially why I posted the original article, "what others may think of this"---seeds are planted constantly and they bear "fruit".
There is a myriad of information just like a tsunami, I think some is valid most is crap, but there are certain things that just raise an eyebrow and too me make me think hmmm, I always fall back on what I believe though and it takes the moment of angst away immediately knowing who the ultimate victor is, and that "our struggles are not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, and authorities, against the powers of the dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms---Keep in mind I am not railing against anynoe i.e. RCC, just pointing some things out, interesting to me as well as asking opinions !

[whatevergirl]

thomas, thanks for posting that. I'll say this. I'm not unaware that the RCC is in need of reform. While I don't think that their idea here is a good one for a variety of reasons, I'd like to think that the RCC's intent is pure.

I'd like to think that.

I think your are correct. But just as any orginization.........power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
My sister is RCC, and she has a heart of gold. She does medical missions to Haiti once a year. The RCCs do lots of good in this world, imho.

It will be overturned.
Living in Louisiana, it is disconcerting to come to work in the morning and find that your business has no electricity because crack heads came last night and stole all the copper wire and sold it for cash. The intent was honest, but maybe it would have been better to say you either need some kind of proof of ownership, or a reasonable waiting period to get paid.
