Doing the research and investigative work that the major U.S.
media have all but abandoned, an organization called the
American Life League (ALL) has uncovered dramatic evidence
of links between the highest levels of the Roman Catholic
Church and an international communist group known as the
World Social Forum. The evidence suggests overt Marxist
influence on the climate change movement that Pope Francis
and his top advisers are now embracing.
The ALL report, a 76-page PowerPoint presentation complete
with original source material and numerous photographs,
documents how Caritas Internationalis, the Vatican’s top
social justice organization, is actually “providing leadership” to
the communist group.
The report’s author, Michael Hichborn, stated, “This is a very
serious problem. Given how intimately connected the World
Social Forum (WSF) has been with the promotion of communism,
abortion, and homosexuality since the very beginning, it’s
impossible to see how any Catholic can participate in it, or even
speak positively about it, let alone have any involvement in its
governance. But Caritas Internationalis does!”
These allegations can’t be dismissed as anti-Catholic bigotry,
since the American Life League is itself a Catholic organization
that has been working for years to expose Catholic funds and
organizations that promote causes at variance with official
Catholic teaching.
However, Hichborn tells Accuracy in Media that except for
specialized publications such as Lifesitenews, the media have
ignored the report.
The ALL report on the WSF includes eye-opening photographs
from the group’s events, featuring open displays of communist
flags and banners as well as images of such personalities as
Lenin, Castro and Mao.
Most of our media, of course, reported on the “death” of
communism after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
But the ALL report notes that “There can be no mistaking
the materialist and revolutionary (Communist) nature of the
forum itself, which sets it in opposition to the Catholic Church.”
Hichborn told AIM that he delivered a copy of the report to the
Vatican office known as Cor Unum, but that nothing came of it,
and that one Vatican official concerned about the issue was
relieved of his duties.

ALL identifies the other Catholic groups involved in the
activities of the WSF as Pax Christi, Center of Concern,
Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Catholic Relief Services
and CIDSE, an international alliance of Catholic
development agencies.
An independent review of the ALL report confirms the research into
the links between Caritas Internationalis and the WSF. In fact, a
document on the Caritas website still affirms that “Caritas has been
involved in the WSF since its beginnings. Caritas believes it’s an
opportunity to exchange ideas and to build the momentum towards
real change.”

After the ALL report was released, a conference at the Vatican was
sponsored by Caritas Internationalis that featured Jeffrey Sachs,
the Columbia University professor and Special Advisor to United
Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, and Gustavo Gutierrez,
the father of Marxist-oriented Liberation Theology.

As Accuracy in Media reported, Sachs wrote an article for the
Jesuit publicationAmerica attacking the “American idea” of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness as narrow and selfish. He
suggests that America’s founding document is outmoded and
incompatible with his idea of Catholic teaching about social justice.

Sachs is an advocate of global taxes to extract hundreds of billions of
dollars from the American people in order to finance some form
of world government. The climate change movement, based on
dubious science, is the most popular current vehicle that Sachs and
others can use to bring this about.

Seizing on Sachs’ extraordinary remarks in a major Catholic
publication, the well-known writer Edward Cline comments on the
Family Security Matters website that “It would take a village—or,
at least, the ‘global’ one—to subjugate and sack America.
That is what is being proposed by Jeffrey Sachs.”

The Cline piece carries the title, “The ‘Sach-ing’ of America,”
and he concludes that “In its essentials, Sachs’ plan for the future
sacking of America differs little from Islam’s.”

In short, the American way of life is at risk, this time from a Vatican
alliance with America’s academic elites and the U.N.

The World Social Forum itself just held another international
conference focusing on one aspect of the Sachs agenda: global
taxes.
The WSF announced the launch of the Global Alliance for Tax Justice,
including a statement that “Our vision entails progressive
redistributive taxation polices that fund the vital public services,
end inequality and poverty, address climate change and lead to
sustainable development.”

The topic fits nicely with the expected papal encyclical on climate
change.

At the Caritas conference, Pope Francis adviser Cardinal Oscar
Rodríguez Maradiaga said that critics of the proposed papal
document are advocates of an “ideology” that he concludes
“is too tied to a capitalism that doesn’t want to stop ruining
the environment because they don’t want to give up their profits.”

Critics are concerned because of the pope’s several statements
indicating hostility to the system of capitalism and free markets
that has brought prosperity to hundreds of millions of people.

This kind of Marxist rhetoric from a top Vatican adviser makes
it appear as if the pope has aligned himself with an ideology
that, despite the “collapse” of communism, is still very
much alive, and which the Black Book of Communism says has
already claimed 100 million lives.

only adds to the growing concern.

“Pope Francis will give us his encyclical letter on ecology,” said
Maradiaga, anticipating its impact. “This year is a unique
opportunity to take responsibility for the future of our world
and the lives of future generations.”

The title of the Caritas conference was, “One Human Family,
Caring for Creation.” But it appears that the “caring” part lies in
replacing capitalism with structures of “global governance” that
involve a massive transfer of political and economic power to
international organizations like the United Nations.

After Maradiaga stepped down, he was replaced by Cardinal
Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila, Philippines, as the new
president of Caritas Internationalis. But Maradiaga
continues as the coordinator of a group of nine cardinals
that serves as Francis’s Council of Cardinals.
