Vatican: A Sustainable Future Is Possible If We Implement Modern Socialist Rule

What else could the Vatican and Pope Francis be talking about? If you change governance, you’re getting rid of Democratically elected governments, and really implementing a Modern Socialist agenda, where you really do not have a choice of whom to vote for

Covid: a sustainable future is possible if governance changes

Pope Francis is certain of this and is repeating it to everyone: we will emerge either better or worse after the pandemic The global crisis requires that the parameters of human co-existence be rethought through the lens of solidarity. Based on this foundational idea, the “Covid-19: Building a Healthier Future” has been created in collaboration with the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, to offer a vision that might lead to the beginning of a new fraternity after the pandemic

It’s a question of perspective. Quarantined by the coronavirus, the world quarantined having had to suspend the evolution of its activities, wanting to recover a sense of direction needs to be careful that it takes the right path. Above all, there is no room to commit past errors. First among these is that of thinking that health is a consequence of economic growth. “Growth is the wrong goal. What we need to aim for is human development – sustainable human development”, states Janet Ranganathan, Vice-President of  Research, Data, and Innovation of World Resource Institute, one of the experts invited by Pope Francis as a member of the Vatican Covid-19 Commission. Ranganathan has an idea so that the poor will not be left pay the virus’s high costs: “One concrete first step would be for Pope Francis to convene a summit with other religious leaders and to form a virtuous Circle of Sustainability that keeps expanding until it envelopes the entire planet”.

So, the Vatican is going to give up its vast riches and all how it raises money?

If the international community were to take decisive action against the climate crisis, could it push the global economy toward growth?

R. – Growth is the wrong goal. What we need to aim for is human development – sustainable human development. That is what the UN SDGs call for. Too many governments have pursued economic growth, allowing it to become the “end” rather than the “means.” This has contributed to growing inequalities and degradation of the natural resource base that supports life on earth. Effective climate change action must be an integral part of efforts to rewire economies to deliver sustainable development. This requires a shift in focus to tackle the root causes of inequity and environmental degradation some of which I mentioned above – vested interests, overconsumption, lack of transparency and accountability, etc.

No growth, no earnings. Oh, right, all that money goes to Government. Funny how all the solutions go to big, controlling Government.
