What Christian nationalism is doing domestically, Rome is doing internationally. The Vatican has just entered into an agreement with many nations to begin a Catholic indoctrination program. This is a global effort to educate students in universities and help shape the laws of society according to the principles of Romanism.
The Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science, and Culture (OEI) is an intergovernmental organization of sovereign states representing all of the Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan-speaking nations in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa. The OEI has a significant influence in matters of education, science, and culture, both at the university and government levels, within the Ibero-American countries.
On January 10, 2025, Vatican News announced that the Pontifical Commission for Latin America (PCAL) and the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science, and Culture (OEI) entered into a collaboration agreement in order to promote Pope Francis’ Building Bridges Initiative—a system of policies that will influence education, intergovernmental alliances, environmental sustainability, economic justice, and human development.
The Vatican News published the following:
• “The Pontifical Commission for Latin America (PCAL), representing the Holy See, signed an agreement with the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI) on January 8, 2025 in the Vatican. Based on Pope Francis’ Building Bridges initiative, a collaboration is established with regional integration and the promotion of education as its main axes.” [1]
• “The collaboration agreement signed by Cardinal Prevost and Mariano Jabonero establishes the bases for joint participation in different events, which will allow strengthening dialogue and alliances between governments, academics, experts and key actors of civil society. Its objective is to generate innovative proposals and contribute to the development of public policies that favor regional integration, environmental sustainability and social development.” [1]
• “The OEI will collaborate in the implementation of two Ibero-American meetings organized by the PCAL, within the framework of its Episcopal Bridge between Large Cities initiative, within the Building Bridges Initiative, a program that has been carried out in recent years, with the direct participation of Pope Francis, in which students from various organizations around the world reflect on various topics and dialogue with the Holy Father on environmental sustainability, economic justice and integral human development.” [1]
The problem is that Pope Francis’ version of unity, peace, dialogue, education, sustainability, economics, labor, human development, and every other policy is that he wants these principles to be based on Catholic social doctrine. In other words, Pope Francis is basically telling us that in order to obtain world peace and economic prosperity, we must take and implement the teachings of Fratelli Tutti and Laudato Si’ and incorporate them into public and personal life. Sounds simple enough, right? All we have to do in order to achieve true and lasting world-wide peace is to embrace Catholic theology, Catholic liturgy, Catholic traditions, and Catholic education.
Accepting Pope Francis’ social contract would be a terrible mistake that would spell the end of peace and happiness. Paul predicted long ago that a “peace and safety” cry would usher in “sudden destruction” rather than peace (1 Thessalonians 5:2, 3). This movement would occur right before the Second Coming of Jesus, and in Revelation 13:3, 12; Revelation 16:13, 14; and Revelation 17:2, 12, 13, the Apostle John predicted the same global religious-political unification. Sister White also reveals that this movement would reach its pinnacle in a grand scheme to convert the entire world and usher in the long-awaited millennium of “peace.”
“Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world, and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium” (Great Controversy, pp, 588, 589).
This goal of Rome is diametrically opposed to the goals of the Remnant people of God. So, in order to appease Rome and join her in the universal religious, economic, and political order, we would have to compromise the Three Angels’ Message, the very message from God that will expose the papacy’s aims. That is why Rome cannot be appeased with half measures or some kind of middle ground. What Rome wants is complete surrender on our part. It is tragic that far too many people have already sold themselves to this universal fraternity. However, God will always have a faithful remnant who will never bow their knee to Baal.
“Here is the line of distinction between the worshipers of God and those who worship the beast and receive his mark. The great conflict is between the commandments of God and the requirements of the beast. It is because the saints are keeping all ten of the commandments that the dragon makes war upon them. If they will lower the standard and yield the peculiarities of their faith, the dragon will be at peace; but they excite his ire because they have dared to raise the standard and unfurl their banner in opposition to the Protestant world, who are worshiping the institution of papacy” (Testimonies, Vol. 1, p. 223).
