Catholic
Europe in Vogue?
Are
the Europeans
about to restore the power and influence of their respective Royals? In
Rome's mind, only an IMPERIAL RESTORATION can save mankind! That
explains why the present pontiff has proclaimed that he's on a mission
from God to unite Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals. How? By
remodeling Europe after the grand design of the "Holy Roman Empire."
Recently,
the Roman Catholic cardinal Alfons Maria Stickler from Austria, an
advisor to the pope, reflected this position when interviewed by the
German newspaper Schwabische
Zeitung.
When asked what ails our society, Stickler responded: "The principles
that were once personified in the aristocracy of the past are now
gone...The unconditional
willingness to fight for the doctrines of the Holy Roman Church...".
Will such a romantic view blind Europe? Will nostalgia for Europe's
Catholic past soon sweep them off their feet?
Cardinal
Stickler, speaking loftily of Europe's aristocrats, praised them as
"loyal and devoted to the pope, politically neither right or left, only guided to realize the will
of the pope and the Catholic honor...Aggressive Catholicism...only
these aristocrats can save the world from moral decay."
The
Vatican's working out a deal with ten European kings, with seductive
offers of restoring them to political life upon their now dormant
thrones, in exchange for their allegiance to the pope. Will Archduke
Karl von Habsburg claim his "divine right" to the Austro-Hunagarian
throne? He is the heir to the "Holy Roman Empire." Will the pope soon
call upon him to serve as a figurehead, an emperor of sorts, over the
United Kingdoms of Europe?
What crisis will coerce Europe to
hastily accept the pope's indecent proposal to recreate the continent
in his image? Yeltsin's death? An economic collapse? An Islamic threat?
Surely GERMANY stands ready to defend "Western Christian civilization,"
even if means starting World War III!
