When Pope John Paul II entered the papacy in 1978, he was the
youngest pope in 154 years, the first non-Italian pope in 455 years,
and the first pope ever from a Communist country. His number one
claim to fame was that he had presided over the Polish church for 30
years under Communism, and
the church had not only survived, but
thrived.
John Paul II spoke before the UN the first time in 1979, one year
after beginning his papacy. In that speech he called for significant
wealth redistribution.
When he again addressed the UN on October 5, 1995, he once again
trumpeted the socialistic call for wealth redistribution. Pope John
Paul II stressed the need to strengthen the UN and urged the
abolishment of all nuclear weapons from the earth
Pope favors a United Europe
Pope John Paul II has envisioned a United Europe from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Ural Mountains throughout his papacy. As the European
Union continues to expand, it appears the Pope’s vision will soon
become reality. In a Common Declaration recently signed by Pope John
Paul II and Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, John Paul
said,
"We pray for the full realization of the European Union,
without delay, and we hope that its borders will be extended to the
East"
(The Pope Speaks, Nov/Dec 1995, p. 401).
John Paul II -- Gorbachev connection
When Mikhail Gorbachev was in power, he and the Pope were working
together to realize a united Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals.
U.S. News and World Report, May 18, 1992, stated that Pope John Paul
II desired a united Europe, and that he thought Mikhail Gorbachev
would be the ideal presiding officer. On March 9, 1992, the New York
Times published an article by Gorbachev titled "My Partner, the
Pope."
This special relationship becomes especially interesting at this
time when global government and religious unity seem to be within
the world’s grasp.
Since Pope Pius XII, all the popes have favored world government in
some form or another. The contention has been that there must be
some form of supranational government to preside over an ever
increasingly interdependent world. The papacy has been one of the
strongest supporters of the UN since its formation in 1945
