Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church prominently displays its social teaching on billboards and display boards. Pope Leo XIV believes he recognizes a need for social teaching among the people and, of course, doesn’t want to leave them out in the cold. The Church must now respond to these requests.

Flag of Social Teaching Raised
Little by little, slowly but surely, the philosophy the papacy envisioned for humanity is becoming increasingly clear. From the perspective of “human justice under divine guidance,” Pope Leo XIV also sees Roman Catholic social teaching as the remedy for shattered humanity. The Pontiff (Maximus) encourages the “development of the Church’s social teaching,” he said. CNA. Society must therefore face significant changes.
The Usual Game
The pendulum is clearly swinging from “left-woke” to “conservative-right,” if one were to use the usual terminology. A prime example of Hegelian dialectic is unfolding before our very eyes. One creates (oneself) a problem, or rather, a philosophy and a counter-philosophy, promotes and supports them, watches as people gather in one of these two created camps, lets them loose on each other so that they “knock each other’s heads in,” only to present the saving solution for a peaceful settlement at the climax. (Info). Also known as the principle of “thesis, antithesis and final synthesis”.
A peaceful solution always leads to a compromise. And this is precisely what was intended, something that could never have been communicated to people under normal circumstances..
The “people want this”
Pope Leo simply turns the tables and portrays his Church as lagging behind. There is a “growing demand for the Church’s social teaching,” the Pope said. Therefore, the Church must respond now. It may well be true that people are now tired of the unrest, wars, moral decay, and “rainbow-colored machinations.” But that was precisely the goal.
People finally want decency and morality again, and the Church promptly delivers. The principles of its social teaching are the solution. A construct based on natural law, according to Hellenistic philosophy. But not the Gospel. (Info).
The Roman religious institution always presented itself to the outside world as a pious, innocent lamb. This was also the case with the new Pope’s further remarks. He pointed out that a distinction must be made between “teaching” and “doctrine.” In relation to Catholic social teaching, it must be clarified that the word “teaching” has a “different, more positive meaning.” “Teaching” is not the same as an opinion, but rather a “common, collective, and even multidisciplinary pursuit of truth.”
According to Leo, a doctrine or “indoctrination” is immoral. It suppresses critical judgment and undermines the “sacred freedom of respect for conscience,” even if it is false. In contrast, “teaching” is to be understood as a “serious, serene, and rigorous discourse.” It helps us make prudent judgments. The necessary “seriousness, rigor, and serenity” can also be learned from the Church’s social teaching, the Pontiff stated.
The “innocent merciful one”
Just as the Church of Rome washes its hands of any guilt to this day by arguing that the mass burnings of “heretics” were ultimately carried out by state power, the same traditional approach is taken with the effects of its social teachings. However, the fact that Pope Innocent III issued a decree in 1199 stating that anyone condemned as a heretic by the Church automatically insulted the state’s majesty is regularly ignored. Such a crime against the state was, of course, automatically treated accordingly by state power. How convenient.
After all, awakening a (perceived) need in people is also the flagship of the advertising industry. Between waking up at home and arriving at work, the average worker has been bombarded numerous times with information about all the things they need in life and how they can make their lives easier. When it comes to persuasion, society has long been conditioned to be soft-spoken.
Convinced by the “learned” morality
Since social teaching is a “teaching” and not a “doctrine,” Leo argues, it must be something “good.” Or so the suggestion goes.
It will predominantly be the people themselves, maneuvered back and forth from one camp to the other, who will demand what the Church of Rome had long envisioned. The “human justice” according to its social teaching does indeed sound good, promising peace and security, but it is based on the extremely flexible human moral concepts. One doesn’t have to dig very deep to realize that Roman Catholic social teaching is opposed to the law of God. (Info).
Once convinced of “human justice,” any deviants from it, such as those who adhere to the Gospel, i.e., the will of God, are not only declared a “threat” to the desired unity within the united human family, but are also regarded without further action. Here, the papacy doesn’t even have to appear publicly to call for persecution with a pointed finger. Certainly not with a battle cry like “Deus lo vult.”
Then and now:
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John 8:44)
Rome can remain in the background
The “convinced society” will do what Rome wants for them almost automatically. State entities will establish these “moral standards” as required laws, without any opposition from the voters. The supposed Protestantism in the USA is currently in the process of putting the long-sung Roman song into law. (Info). Also, step by step.
“She” finally wrote on her forehead:
“MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Revelation 17:5).
The images of the official inauguration of Pope Leo XIV speak volumes. Everyone of note from all over the world, whether Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist, paid their respects to the Pope, and many even kissed his ring.
Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Revelation 17:1-2
