Vatican Support for the NWO: Antichrist Economic System
The Global elites are working now on putting together a world economic system, [this could even lead to a global currency]

At a meeting with President Bush at a Camp David retreat last weekend, European Union Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said, "We need a new global financial order" ("Bush Will Host World Leaders," AP, Oct. 18, 2008). After meeting with Barroso and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Bush announced that he will host an international summit to seek ways to fix the world financial system. Some want to explore the possibility of creating a world currency. Since October 9, the stock market has lost more than $8 trillion, and one worlders see this as an opportunity to push the nations toward further globalism.

Guess who is there in full support of the United Nations or other global "authorities" running the world's financial system.

Holy See: Real Crisis About More Than Money
Points to Lack of Ethics and Moral Codes
NEW YORK, OCT. 31, 2008 (Zenit.org).- The current global financial crisis goes beyond bad economic practices to the realm of ethics and moral codes, says the Holy See representative at the United Nations.
Archbishop Celestino Migliore, permanent observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, said Thursday before the U.N. General Assembly that the Holy See agrees that the crisis "can be attributed to a lack of a complete and effective regulatory system."
But the archbishop said the situation was also created by "widespread disregard for regulatory and supervisory structures, to say nothing of the rules of accountability and transparency."
"The real crisis does not appear to be merely financial, economic and technical," he continued. "Rather, it extends to the broader realm of ethical codes and moral conduct.
"Unbridled profiteering and the unscrupulous pursuit of gain at any cost have made people forget basic rules of business ethics."
To that end, Archbishop Migliore said the proper response to the crisis should "not be limited to deploring the crisis and offering formal expressions of sympathy," but rather to "come up with the ways and means to avoid similar crises in the future."
Subsidiarity
"Governments and institutions which rigorously implemented rules at the lower customer level were lax in maintaining that same rigor at the higher level," the Holy See representative lamented. "The same could also be said with regard to the economic systems of poorer countries.
"International financial institutions which strictly implemented conditionalities and oversight in developing countries neglected to do so when overseeing developed economies. Now that the latter have collapsed, the former also have to bear the consequences."
"Government is the exercise of the virtue of prudence in the enactment of legislative and executive measures capable of directing social activity toward the common good," explained Archbishop Migliore.
"The principle of subsidiarity," he added, "requires that governments and large international agencies ensure solidarity on the national and global levels and between generations."
Responsibility
The Holy See representative offered a second observation regarding the responsibilities of lending institutions.
"Lending is a necessary social activity," the archbishop began. "Nonetheless, financial institutions and agents are responsible for ensuring that lending fulfils its proper function in society, connecting savings to production.
"If lending is seen merely in terms of trading off financial resources without regard for their reasonable use, it fails to be a service to society. When attempts are made to conceal the real risk that loans will not be repaid, savers are cheated and lenders become actual accomplices in theft."
Archbishop Migliore continued: "It must not be forgotten that at the edges of the financial system there are retired persons, small family businesses, cottage industries and countless employees for whom savings are an essential means of support.
"Financial activity needs to be sufficiently transparent so that individual savers, especially the poor and those least protected, understand what will become of their savings.
"This calls not only for effective measures of oversight by governments, but also for a high standard of ethical conduct on the part of financial leaders themselves."
Lifestyle
The archbishop also encouraged the general public to make more responsible economic choices: "A lifestyle, and even more an economic model, solely based on increased and uncontrolled consumption and not on savings and the creation of productive capital, is economically unsustainable.
"It also becomes unsustainable from the standpoint of concern for the environment and, above all, of human dignity itself, since the irresponsible consumer renounces his own dignity as a rational creature and also offends the dignity of others."
In his closing comments, Arcbishop Migliore called for credible and authentic lending, and urged governments to "invest in people."
"Once the inevitable financial salvage operations are over, governments and the international community should invest their money in aid to the poorest populations," he said.
The archbishop added: "The history of developed countries also demonstrates that grants for health, education, housing and other basic services benefiting the weakest socio-economic levels of society, families and small communities, ultimately prove to be the most profitable investments, since they alone ensure the harmonious functioning of society as a whole."
