THE COUNCIL ANSWERS THE CHALLENGE BY POPE FRANCIS TO APPLY PRINCIPLES OF MORALITY TO BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

ORGANIZATIONS COMMIT TO CONCRETE ACTION TO CREATE A MORE EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE AND TRUSTED ECONOMIC SYSTEM

The Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican, an effort led by some of the world’s largest investment and business leaders, launched today. It signifies the urgency of joining moral and market imperatives to reform capitalism into a powerful force for the good of humanity. Under the moral guidance of His Holiness Pope Francis and His Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson, who leads the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development at the Vatican, and inspired by the moral imperative of all faiths, the Council invites companies of all sizes to harness the potential of the private sector to build a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable economic foundation for the world.

The Council is led by a core group of global leaders, known as Guardians for Inclusive Capitalism, who meet annually with Pope Francis and Cardinal Turkson. These leaders represent more than $10.5 trillion in assets under management, companies with over $2.1 trillion of market capitalization, and 200 million workers in over 163 countries. The organization challenges business and investment leaders of all sizes to embrace the Council’s guiding principles and make public commitments to act on them. These collective actions are intended to lead to systemic change by making capitalism a greater force for inclusivity and sustainability. Watch a video of the Guardians discussing the Council’s mission here.

Speaking to the Guardians, Pope Francis said, “An economic system that is fair, trustworthy, and capable of addressing the most profound challenges facing humanity and our planet is urgently needed. You have taken up the challenge by seeking ways to make capitalism become a more inclusive instrument for integral human wellbeing.”

The Guardians have already committed to hundreds of measurable actions, and Council members will make ongoing commitments to continue to advance inclusive capitalism. They will be accountable for their public commitments and invite businesses around the world to join. View the full list of actions being taken here.

Vice President JD Vance has launched a fresh attack on the Vatican in a new book on his faith.

In his memoir, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, Catholic convert Vance details his encounter with church officials in April last year.

In extracts published by The Washington Post, Vance wrote that the Vatican’s secretary of state Cardinal Pietro Parolin discussed the topic of migration with him during their meeting.

However, the vice president was not pleased with the tone of the conversation and described it as “unsettling.”

​“Here I was, the most senior Catholic in the United States government, and the Vatican seemed unwilling to move its moral guidance past the point of trite platitudes,” Vance wrote. ​

The Jesuits: The Vatican's Secret Army

The Jesuits: The Vatican's Secret Army

The Real Reveal

Apr 17, 2026

In 1540, a Spanish soldier who survived a cannonball created the Society of Jesus. Today, Jesuits run 840 schools educating 3 million students, including Georgetown and 26 other US universities. They've been expelled from dozens of countries, completely suppressed by the Pope in 1773, accused of assassination plots, and hunted as traitors. In 2013, Jorge Bergoglio became the first Jesuit Pope ever—something that wasn't supposed to happen. This is the complete 500-year history of the Vatican's secret army.

Who is driving the campaign against the Order of Malta?

March 4, 2026 9:38 AM

HJA Sire

Somebody has got it in for the Order of Malta, the 900-year-old Catholic order which maintains hospitals and runs charitable activities all over the world. In Italy, a stream of very similar articles has been appearing, beginning with an attack last October in the left-wing newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano, by a journalist writing as Thomas Mackinson. In recent weeks there has been an accelerating series of articles under different names, all of them repeating the same criticisms. People in the Order’s ambit are beginning to wonder who is putting them up to it and why.

The articles accuse the Order of betraying a reform intended by Pope Francis, who wanted to bring it more into line with the life of a full religious order. The criticisms highlight the role of the professed knights – those who take the traditional religious vows – and assert that these need to be made to live in community so as to be true religious. What the articles do not explain, however, and indeed seriously misrepresent, is how the Order came to be in its present position.

The background is the crisis precipitated among the knights by Pope Francis in January 2017, when he forced the Grand Master, the Englishman Matthew Festing, to resign. The result was effectively putting the Order into the hands of its German branch, under the Grand Chancellor (effectively prime minister of the Order) Albrecht von Boeselager. The German-backed faction consolidated their control in the five-yearly elections to the Order’s government held in 2019. Of the 18 names back by this camp, all but one were elected.

Article by Leo Zagami


In Confessions of an Illuminati Volume 12, I explain how, “Pope Francis’ Laudato si’ the leftist encyclical, published in 2015,” is “mostly read for its political parts and not for its Catholic message,” and is still considered “a (sort of) mandatory reading” for leftist “politicians, diplomats, and economists, who have widely used excerpts of it in their speeches in the last few years,” especially in Europe, but also in the United States. Against any scientific certainty about so-called “climate change “the late Pope Francis, who loved dogmas, declared that the science of climate change” was indeed “clear,” and beyond criticism. The Catholic church, as I explained in my latest book, is now in hands of the Jesuits who have been pushing this agenda since the late 60s, must suddenly be forced to view “climate change as a moral issue that must be addressed to protect the earth and everyone on it.”

Now, with Pope Francis’ successor, the diabolical direction instigated by the Jesuits in favor of the lies and propaganda of so-called “climate change,” is moving forward, as Pope Leo XIV is going to celebrate for the first time a new votive Mass devised “for the care of creation” on July 9, 2025, in which the current pope will use, in a private mass for the “Borgo Laudato Si’” an educational group established by Pope Francis at Castel Gandolfo to promote “ecological conversion” by using the ”Pontifical Villas’ garden as an example,[1] a set of new prayers in favor of the Jesuit green agenda officially entitled “Missa pro custodia creationis” (“ Mass for the care of creation”). The term “Castel Gandalf” has been used by Alex Jones in the past in a combination of “Castel Gandolfo” (the Pope’s summer residence outside Rome) and “Gandalf” (a character from the Lord of the Rings series).

The new Mass prayers were presented a couple of days ago in the Vatican with a press conference by the influential Jesuit Cardinal Michael Czerny, prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, and the Franciscan Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, secretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.[2]

Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, participated in the collaborative effort to create the prayers, alongside other Vatican departments mostly controlled by the Jesuits.

Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, made the following speech that gives us a full understanding of how the Jesuits are further high-jacking the Catholic Mass in line with the other monstrosities of the Second Vatican Council:

In the Roman Missal, there are 49 Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Occasions. Twenty are for the Church, 17 for civil needs, and 12 for various occasions. Among the formularies “for civil needs,” today we are happy to introduce a “Mass for the care of creation” (Missa pro custodia creationis), in response to requests suggested by Laudato si’.

Free Presbyterian Minister says Pope Francis ‘was most certainly an antichrist’

Story by Allan Preston 

A Free Presbyterian minister in Co Down has said that he makes no apology for stating that Pope Francis “was most certainly an antichrist”.

Rev Daniel Henderson of Moneyslane Presbyterian Church made the comments during a sermon the day following the pontiff’s funeral in Rome.

Advertising the sermon online - ‘Was Francis an antichrist?’ - the livestreamed service also took aim at other Protestant churches and King Charles for their “wishy-washy” statements of sympathy following the 88-year-old’s death last month.

Rev Henderson, who is originally from Liverpool, told the congregation he was not against Catholics and that his own mother was a previous member of the church, but that he believed successive popes had led “millions” to hell.

His main objection was the “blasphemous” belief of Catholics that the Pope is God’s representative on earth.

“I make no apology in saying that Francis was most certainly an antichrist,” Rev Henderson said during this service.

“Francis was when he was in this office, and no doubt the next individual that will be elected to that office of Pope, claims to be the spiritual father of every man, woman, boy, girl upon the face of the earth whether they like it or not.”

He continued: “The Roman antichrist has truly deceived many, countless millions over the centuries have been sent to a lost eternity in hell for evermore due to the influence of Rome upon their lives.

“The Roman Catholic is not to be hated, they are to be pitied and loved…there is apparently 1.4bn Roman Catholics in this world and they all are in need of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

A Social Conservative: Pope Francis Led Effort Against Liberation Theology and Same-Sex Marriage

 

During the military dictatorship in Argentina, the new pope openly criticized liberation theology’s combination of religious teachings and calls for social justice. His social conservative streak continued when he was elevated to cardinal in Argentina. In 2010, he called the Argentine government’s legalization of gay marriage “an attempt to destroy God’s plan” and opposed adoption by gay couples. We discuss Pope Francis’ social conservatism with Ernesto Semán, a historian at New York University and former reporter for two Argentine newspapers, and with Argentine journalist Horacio Verbitsky.

President Trump endorses Cardinal Raymond Burke as potential successor to Pope Francis

April 21, 2025



Following the death of Pope Francis, attention has shifted to who will succeed him in the papal conclave. Cardinal Raymond Burke has emerged as a key conservative candidate. The 76-year-old American cleric from Wisconsin is known for his firm traditional views and past disagreements with the late pope.

Burke’s name is in the mix as 138 cardinals prepare to meet in secrecy to elect the next pope. While bookmakers currently place him sixth among the contenders, his visibility has increased due to support from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has hailed Burke as a champion of traditional Church values, especially during conflicts with Pope Francis.

Previously, Burke served as the Archbishop of St. Louis and was called to Rome by Pope Benedict XVI. However, tensions arose under Pope Francis, who removed Burke from key positions in the Vatican. Burke has often criticized the Vatican’s more inclusive approach on issues like LGBTQ rights and divorce.

As the conclave approaches, other candidates include moderates and progressives like Pietro Parolin and Luis Antonio Tagle. Burke’s candidacy—backed by political forces—raises questions about the future direction of the Church. It remains to be seen whether the next pope will continue Pope Francis’s progressive legacy or revert to traditionalist leadership.
