Influencing Governments On Both Sides of the Atlantic


Commission des Episcopats de la Communauté Européenne (in French)

Acronym: COMECE

Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community



It has been almost two weeks since the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community, a.k.a. COMECE (the European equivalent to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops) met with the European Parliament. On Wednesday, March 24, 2010, COMECE, organized a Conference to relaunch the debate on Sunday protection. This reunion was held at the European Parliament Building, Brussels-Belgium. COMECE supports the Conference on Work free Sunday. At this session COMECE interacted with Parlimentary Ministers (MEP's) of the European Union to advance the Sunday Rest Legislation.
.
We can see the bold moves that this Catholic Church's organ is undertaking to impose its agenda upon the European Union. The similarities on both side of the Atlantic Ocean are flabbergasting. The fundamental difference of COMECE and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is that the previously named organization includes Muslims, Jews, and other religious persuasions; (Wow, Europe is now inclusive!) While the U.S.C.C.B. only represents Catholics. However, the differences are only cosmetic since if you join (partner) with the Catholics on any issue, you are in essence just fostering the Vatican's global ambitions.
.
As far as I know, in Europe there are no distinctions between Church and State; The Vatican through its Bishop of Rome has in the last few years reminded Europe that its identity is almost wholly Catholic. The Reformation was virtually crushed by the holy see in its bloody resistance against the propagation of the Protestant Movement; Only Britain and Germany, fundamentally survived this onslaught. Europe has practically an exclusive Roman Catholic cultural precedent dating back to Charlemagne and Clovis, the Holy Roman Emperors.
.
The scenes on both sides of the pond are a harbinger of the expansive global plans of the Roman Catholic organization and its interference in governments. I can only see an ever increasing momentum for the achievement of the One World Religion, where all churches bow to the pope of Rome. Yet, I can reassure you that this grand design will be short-lived if the Bible prophecies are correct; Since The Prince of Peace will soon return to establish His justice, and to redeem His faithful remnant. Blessed be His name. Hallelujah!
.
No longer will men Lord over men!

U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops




Recently in the United States of America the headlines were full of references to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were conducting closed-door meetings with the U.S. Congress. First, they were aggressively attempting to pass the Health Care Overhaul (Reform) Bill in Nancy Pelosi's U.S. House of Representatives, then their focus turned to Harry Reid's U.S. Senate. Remember how both the Senate and Congress deliberated past normal business hours, working on week ends? And even late on Christmas Eve to achieve their goal?
.
Once the Health Care Overhaul Bill was passed by a mostly partisan Democrat majority in both houses of Congress; The U. S. Conference of Bishops and some nuns, then flip-flopped when they pretended to oppose the Health Care Law and its potential for providing and sponsoring abortions. What duplicity? It's a good thing that some of us can remember things?
.
As I analyze the latest actions of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops; I can only wonder where do you draw the line between Separation of Church and State?
.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
First Amendment of the Bill of Rights

How can the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church (The Vatican is a sovereign state and also a religious hierarchy) openly lobby the U.S. government without any trepidation? In spite of the Roman Catholic religion boasting the largest body of believers in the country; The government can not be overtly solicited at such a level. Most of the original settlers of this nation fled England and Europe, from the persecution of the popes and kings. How can we now have those representing the same tyrannical institutions subvert the free exercise of representative government? The RC Church can not manipulate the legislative process without any restrictions, or we will wind up back in the days of Galileo; A time when the Catholic Church (ruled unchallenged) impeded religious and civil freedoms. Is this what all these public manifestations are leading to? Back to the fold of the tyrannical holy see? Back to being beholden to the whims of the bishop of Rome?
.

In the U.S. no one has documented this phenomenon better than Cliff Kincaid (a Catholic), the Editor of the AIM Report. Here are some of his articles:
