Pope Francis will directly challenge the “American idea” of God-given rights in the Declaration of Independence, says Jeffrey Sachs, a top advisor to the Vatican. Sachs is also a special advisor to the United Nations and director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University.

His remarks were published in the Jesuit Publication, America. He ridiculed the United States as “a society in thrall” to the outmoded idea of unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He says Pope Francis will urge that “the path to happiness lies not solely or mainly through the defense of rights but through the exercise of virtues, most notably justice and charity.” Sachs and the Vatican are collaborating in a global campaign to increase the power of global organizations and movements.

Sachs knows that the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution stands in the way of what globalists want to achieve, a global society in which everyone lives according to international standards and development. He believes that “individual rights must be sacrificed for the greater good,” a typical Roman Catholic mantra. In reality, the U.S. Constitution, which embodies those rights in the first 10 amendments, stands in the way of the global new world order. No wonder it is under assault by men and women like Sachs.

What do you have against justice and charity? Jesus Christ sacrificed His individual rights for the greater good. Do you believe He made a mistake?
 
Wow, the Catholic church telling someone that something they hold dear to is "outmoded." They should take a good long look at a lot of what goes on during one of their masses.

Brethren, before we take off in Catholic bashing,
let's restrict our comments to the posted article.


Would anything said by the pope refer to
Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed
were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any
of them that ought of the things which he possessed
was his own; but they had all things common.

Is what he is saying akin to what will occur during the
millennium with all under the law? Thanks.

The article doesn't have a link to what Jefferey Sachs wrote. :squint I don't really like articles that quote someone and give an opinion about what someone wrote but don't provide a link where one can read it for themselves.

He must have ignored the final sentence of the declaration.

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

Here's a clincher...

John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
 
I guess a handshake could be described as a clincher, especially if you're trying to intimidate the other guy with your grip.

One of the reasons those two will get along so well is that one represents the structure of the temple past while the other belongs to a denomination that has determined it will operate in that that same "temple" administrative structure. The High Priest(Pope) and layered under him Cardinals, Bishops, Priests....etc in place of Sadducees, Pharisees, Temple Guards....etc. That basic "temple-like" structure is primed for corruption. Only natural they would migrate toward each other.
