No, I Have Never Met A Perfectly Righteous Person... And Neither Have You


When Jesus said, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" (Matt.5:48), did He mean you can be as righteous as God is righteous? Some people profess to believe they can be that righteous. But the Greek word translated "perfect" here is "teleios" and means complete or mature. So, how can we be as "perfect, complete or mature" as God? Well, God is as "perfect as it is possible for Him to be... as God, and we can be as "perfect" as it is possible for us to be... as flesh and blood humans. It is comparative not synonymous. A grain of sand is sand and a mountain of sand is also sand, but they are not equal.

To clarify the issue, the Apostle Paul paraphrased a commonly known biblical fact,"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one ..." Rom.3:10.  
Then he concluded, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God...." Rom.3:23. He was rehearsing what all Jews had read and been taught in
1 Kings 8:48 which declares, "... There is no man that sinneth not...." and as 
Isa.53:6 warns us .... "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him (Messiah/Christ) the iniquity of us all."
Isa.64:6 continues the thought ... "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags ...." 

So don't try to convince yourself, God or anyone else that you or someone you know is perfectly righteous except as true believers are seen, in the eyes of God, under the blood of Jesus.... forgiven, redeemed, cleansed and born again. 

Even the great prophet of God, Isaiah, testified,,,

" I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness...." (Christ's) Isa.61:10

"He (Abraham) staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to himBut for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the deadWho was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." Rom.4:20-25.

GOD IS !

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Heb.11:6

If there were a more logical, provable explanation for the existence of the universe, the earth, the incredibly intricate human body, the animal, vegetation and sea world, than a Creator, I might accept it as God's anonymous means of creation. If evolution were, with no sign of the billions of missing links and miracles required, and that without a miracle working God, were present in earth's crust, I might yield a thought to it. But the infinite number of reasons a Creator God is absolute, undeniable fact, scream with a trillion voices heard only in the soul .... "God Is". To deny a Creator is willful self delusion. As clear as the star studded sky, and the sun's radiant glory, the universe, the earth and all they contain testify in a silent language which every human hears and with vision every human sees ... "GOD IS". Jesus emphasized this in Luke 19:40 "And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. " 

Psalms 19:1   The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Psalms 19:2   Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 

  Psalms 19:3   There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 
 Psalms 19:4   Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun ....

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.  Psalms 97:6

The Spiritual Equivalent Of A 400 Pound Word Hog Who Sees Not His Master Who Owns Him

Whilst gluttonously gobbling up every mouthful of slop, rotten meat and soured shred, and standing knee deep in a lifetime of his own muck, yet thinking his miserable little nasty pen is the throne room of the universe, he never looks up. RB

 "Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children." 2 Peter 2:14.


For Leftists, It's Open Season on Christians 

From TownHall.com

David Limbaugh | Jun 16, 2015




If you doubt that Christians are fair game for ridicule by the cultural left, take a look at the hit piece on Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia by Jeffrey Tayler for Salon. I can't decide which is worse, the title or the subtitle. The title: "Antonin Scalia is unfit to serve: A justice who rejects science and the law for religion is of unsound mind." The subtitle: "The justice claims to be an originalist, but his real loyalty is to religion and a phony man in the sky."

The writer is trying to be cute, but don't conclude that any part of his thesis is intended to be tongue-in-cheek. He opens by telling us that "faith-derangement syndrome" has now infected the Supreme Court as it has the executive branch.

He writes: "Sufferers of faith-derangement syndrome (FDS) exhibit the following symptoms: unshakable belief in the veracity of manifest absurdities detailed in ancient texts regarding the origins of the cosmos and life on earth; a determination to disseminate said absurdities in educational institutions and via the media; a propensity to enjoin and even enforce (at times using violence) obedience to regulations stipulated in ancient texts, regardless of their suitability for contemporary circumstances; the conviction that an invisible, omnipresent, omniscient authority (commonly referred to as 'God') directs the course of human and natural events, is vulnerable to propitiation and blandishments, and monitors individual human behavior, including thought processes, with an especially prurient interest in sexual activity."

Tayler is particularly exercised by his assumption that Scalia rejects Tayler's sainted opinions on both "anthropogenic global warming" and "the fact of evolution -- the foundation of modern biology -- in favor of the opening chapter of a compendium of cockamamie fables concocted by obscure humans in a particularly dark age, evidence that his faculty of reason has suffered the debilitating impairment associated with acute FDS." Tayler continues, "He therefore cannot be relied upon to adjudicate without prejudice and should be removed from the bench henceforth."

Sorry for the extensive quotes, but I have to assume you'd think I were exaggerating if I paraphrased this harangue.

What apparently got Tayler's attention was an interview of Scalia a few years ago by Jennifer Senior, a contributing editor for New York magazine. Tayler was disgusted that Scalia accepts the Catholic teaching about homosexuality and incredulous at his admission that he believes in heaven and hell and that the devil is "a real person."

Senior asked Scalia, "Have you seen evidence of the devil lately?" I wish Scalia had cited the left's glorification of abortion as Exhibit A, but he chose instead to point to the devil's wiliness in getting people not to believe in him or God.

Scalia's confessions of faith, by Tayler's lights, constitute an "outrage against reason," calling the devil "a comic-book bugaboo the pedophile pulpiteers of (Christianity) have developed to warp the minds of their credulous 'flocks' for two millennia." He condemns Scalia as a self-confessed "biblical literalist," which means Scalia is "an enemy of historical fact."

I wrote a book last year presenting evidence and arguments supporting Christianity's truth claims, so I won't re-litigate that case here except to say that in my humble view, many who espouse Darwinian evolution as if it were gospel despite the gaping holes in the theory or man-made global warming as an unchallengeable fact that represents an existential threat to humankind often are arrogant, curiously incurious and close-minded and don't know a fraction of what they think they know.

Further, the aggressive anti-theists who mock Christians for believing in the God of the Bible and his Word believe at least one thing that requires far more faith: that something arose from nothing without a Creator. Oh, sure, some of them tell you they don't believe that, saying that they believe in multiverses, that we are the spawn of aliens or that the universe has always existed, even though science, which they tend to deify when it is convenient, points to a definite beginning to the universe. Even if it didn't and even if there were no such thing as entropy, it would still take a formidable suspension of disbelief to believe in an eternal universe.

I am not nearly so troubled by Tayler's beliefs or non-beliefs as I am by his derisive, contemptuous and tyrannical attitude toward believers. You should know that he acknowledges that 6 in 10 Americans believe in the devil yet still implies the belief is insane. Christians, in his view, are "devotees of an invisible celestial tyrant."

What I suspect animates Tayler's angst regarding Scalia (and other Christians) is Scalia's faith-based view against same-sex marriage. Why else would Tayler single out a justice of the Supreme Court poised to rule on a case involving this issue? Why else would he sneer at God's "especially prurient interest in sexual activity," which, by the way, is a perverse mischaracterization of the God of the Bible? Why else would he allude to "the many Religious Freedom Restoration Acts disgracing legal codes of far too many states"?

In the end, however, Tayler's motives are beside the point, which is that he feels not only free to unleash this kind of slander against the belief system of the majority of Americans but also that there is no risk that he will be considered, much less called, a bigot or intolerant for doing so. That's because in the leftist-dominated media culture, you can, with limitless vile, insult individuals and groups outside those protected by political correctness with impunity and often with confidence that you'll be praised.

Believe It Or Not ... There Is Always A Way

Yes, there is always a way back, over, under, around or through every obstacle, every reversal, every crisis and even every mistake and failure. There is a way!
However painful the problem or hot the temptation, remember this promise in
1 Cor. 10:13  "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." So when the load, the trials and temptations seem too heavy or painful to bear ... throw your pride aside and your burdensome cares to our Lord "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."  1Pet.5:6-7. You are not the first to face what you face. God's people have always been tested and tried, but remember Romans 5:3 "...We glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience (endurance)." Trials work for us if we accept them and deal with them and look to God to make a way.


Noah and his family lived in a wicked, wicked world upon which God warned of a global flood of destruction, but God provided a way of deliverance ... an ark. The flood came, as God said, and the entire population of the earth drowned except those in the ark who believed and accepted God's warning. They lived only because God made a way, but only one way of salvation. Gen.6 & 7.

Job's calamities were greater than he was able to endure. But there was a way which reversed his downfall and loss with healing, greater faith, friends and wealth ... When he prayed for his disloyal friends. Job. 42

Moses and the children of Israel were at an unchangeable dead end, hemmed in by Pharaoh's armies, surrounding them on three sides, and a sea on the other.But there was a way. Straight ahead, God made a way through the impossible sea ...on dry ground. Ex. 14:13-16.

The armies of Israel faced fear and certain death by the Philistine army and the Philistine giant, Goliath. But God provided a way. He sent the most unlikely deliverer ... a boy named David with a sling and 5 smooth stones. God used a mere boy to kill a ten feet tall armored giant and routed the entire army of their enemy. 1 Sam. 17.

The adulterous women was caught, condemned and about to be executed. But God provided a way. Jesus faced down her accusers, religious hypocrites who held the stones to crush her body. Only then, Jesus stepped in and told her of a way of deliverance and life. Jesus made a way for that poor sinful woman. John 8:1-12.

Saul of Tarsus (Paul) was at his wits end, blind and without friends on either side of righteousness. The Christians feared and hid from him and his compatriots would hate him, but there was a way ... through Damascus and a man named Ananias who prayed for him. Acts. 9:1-10.

God has always made a way for those who believe Him, follow him and seek His will for their lives. If you are one of those, He will make a way for you too, in your day of crisis, loss, fear, sickness and even death. Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a Christian. If you are walking with Him and it is His will to take you, that will be, second only to your moment of salvation, the best thing that every happened to you.... not the worst.

Rom. 6:9 "Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him" and therefore, none over us ... we who believe on Him.  "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." Rev.20:6.

So if the worst thing that can happen to you, death, turns out to be your best day, your coronation day, your promotion into God's presence, in Heaven, to eternal life with Him, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and all the born again Christians of all time... how is that bad? That being the case, all of the other troubles, problems and heartaches of life are less than death and should not be allowed, by God's grace and by our holy faith, to wreck our lives, make us sick, drive us insane or cause us to give up on God making a way out of any impossible situation. As Jesus said in  Matthew 19:26   "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."  So face those impossible, mountainous obstacles with your "mustard seed faith" and God's miracle working power, and rest in His ability to make a way for you.... But keep your Christian eyes of faith open so you don't miss God's way of salvation and deliverance... even if it is your departure from this old terminal body of flesh and a personal rapture into His presence. When you get my age ... it comes to you ... that's a bargain not a loss. God will make a way. RB

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way

He will make a way

Destination River Man

By Rayburn Blair at 84

Time is the river where his destiny flows

Destination River is the river he chose

Salvation the boat in which he goes

River banks a jungle of merciless foes

Works are the oars with which he rows

Avoiding the banks, snags, falls and shoals

Jesus Christ, his destiny, is all he knows

"For I determined not to know any 
thing among you, save Jesus Christ, 
and him crucified." 1 Cor.2:2

Last Days "Falling Away" Of Professing Christians Before Christ's Return

When the "falling away" begins, we can know that the "revealing" of a popular world leader, who will soon thereafter be recognized as the "antichrist", will make his debut upon the world stage. Where his fame begins, we do not know, but this we do know. His fame and popularity will rapidly advance him to the pinnacle of power at the capstone of the one world governmental infrastructure.

"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto himThat ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at handLet no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perditionWho opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." 2 Thess. 2:1-4 

Notice two signs, in those verses, which will precede "the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ...and our gathering together unto him." Those two signs are, 
(1) "a falling away first" and (2) "that man so sin the son of perdition,(Antichrist) be revealed".

The first of those two signs began, n to be fulfilled with the turn of the millennium. Since the year 2000, the signs of the times, including the "falling away" of professing Christians, have exploded upon the whole world, especially America.

Only now are recent polling organizations picking up the fact that being a CINO (Christian In Name Only), is no longer a "popular profession". The most recent poll, done by the Pew Research Center, reports that in 2014, the number of "professing" Christians in the U.S., fell by 8%, about 5 million adults, since 2007.  Do not overlook the fact that this poll included all denominations and people who have "professed" to be Christian, even in the loosest meaning of the term.

The New York Times reported, in May of this year, on the Pew survey. These are excerpts.... I added the word (professing) and underlined "raised" in bold. It is my opinion that, thus far, most drop-outs are "professing" not "possessing" Christians. As persecution of Christians increases, there will no doubt be more "falling away" from faithfulness and service on the part of some true Christians. Consider Apostle Peter. I underlined and bold typed "raised" because though Christian parents raise their children under Christian standards and atmosphere, one cannot be raised a Christian. We must each personally, willfully believe on Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  RB

New York Times:
Overall, the religiously unaffiliated numbered 56 million and represent nearly 23 percent of adults, up from 36 million and 16 percent in 2007.... The ranks of the unaffiliated have been bolstered by former (professing) Christians. Nearly a quarter of people who were raised as Christian have left the group, and ex-Christians now represent 19 percent of adults.
Attrition was most substantial among mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics who have declined in absolute numbers .... Not all religions or even Christian traditions declined so markedly. The number of Evangelical Protestants dipped only slightly as a share of the population, by 1 percentage point, and actually increased in raw numbers.

Here is just one area of "falling away" in CINO churches and among CINO religionists.

Marco Rubio calls same-sex marriage a 
'real and present danger' to Christianity
By Sahil Kapur
Bloomberg News


Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio told the Christian Broadcasting Network that the push for nationwide same-sex marriage represents a threat to Christianity.

"We are at the water's edge of the argument that mainstream Christian teaching is hate speech, because today we've reached the point in our society where if you do not support same-sex marriage, you are labeled a homophobe and a hater," the Florida senator said. "So what's the next step after that? After they're done going after individuals, the next step is to argue that the teachings of mainstream Christianity, the catechism of the Catholic Church, is hate speech. And that's a real and present danger."

The remarks, posted Tuesday on CBN's website, are a strong denunciation of the gay-rights movement just weeks before the Supreme Court is set to rule on whether same-sex marriage is a constitutional right. Many legal experts believe the court will invalidate gay marriage bans, in part because there are five justices who voted to advance gay rights as recently as 2013.

Rubio's comments appear aimed at the evangelical base, a core Republican constituency that remains strongly against same-sex marriage even as a growing majority of Americans want it to be legal. 

That dichotomy makes it a thorny issue: Respected party strategists, including Rubio's own pollster Whit Ayres, have warned that a candidate perceived as anti-gay won't be able to connect with voters under 30. The Republican National Committee warned in a brutally candid 2012 election post-mortem that the party must be more "welcoming and inclusive" when it comes to gay rights or "young people and increasingly other voters will continue to tune us out."

The rhetoric from Rubio, who is locked in a tough fight for the Republican nomination, was more aggressively opposed to gay marriage in the CBN interview than last month when he was asked about the issue by MSNBC, a cable provider that attracts a largely left-of-center audience.

"Ultimately the decision on how we define marriage has always belonged to the states," he said in the April 14 interview. "If in fact, as the polls indicate, a growing number of Americans believe that marriage between two individuals of the same sex should be legal, then they can petition their state legislatures and change their state laws. And, in fact, I suspect you'll see that happen. It's already begun to happen."

The Revelation Is Unfolding Like The Arms Of Destiny Before Our Very Eyes



Here are the first drafts of Antichrist's Religious, Political and Humanitarian Platform which will appeal to both the world's Liberal Socialist Politicians, Religious leaders and the great mass of world humanity. And it makes perfect sense ... if you do not believe in God or His Holy word.... the Bible. RB

Central Planning Goes Global As UN Unveils 

Major Sustainable Development Agenda "For 

The Good Of The Planet"


Submitted by Michael Snyder 

via The Economic Collapse blog,


The UN plans to launch a brand new plan for managing the entire globe at the Sustainable Development Summit that it will be hosting from September 25th to September 27th.  Some of the biggest names on the planet, including Pope Francis, will be speaking at this summit.  This new sustainable agenda focuses on climate change of course, but it also specifically addresses topics such as economics, agriculture, education and gender equality.  For those wishing to expand the scope of “global governance”, sustainable development is the perfect umbrella because just about all human activity affects the environment in some way.  The phrase “for the good of the planet” can be used as an excuse to micromanage virtually every aspect of our lives. 

So for those that are concerned about the growing power of the United Nations, this summit in September is something to keep an eye on.  Never before have I seen such an effort to promote a UN summit on the environment, and this new sustainable development agenda is literally a framework for managing the entire globe. 

If you are not familiar with this new sustainable development agenda, the following is what the official United Nations website says about it…

The United Nations is now in the process of defining Sustainable Development Goals as part of a new sustainable development agenda that must finish the job and leave no one behind. This agenda, to be launched at the Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015, is currently being discussed at the UN General Assembly, where Member States and civil society are making contributions to the agenda.

The process of arriving at the post-2015 development agenda is Member State-led with broad participation from Major Groups and other civil society stakeholders. There have been numerous inputs to the agenda, notably a set of Sustainable Development Goals proposed by an open working group of the General Assembly, the report of an intergovernmental committee of experts on sustainable development financing, General Assembly dialogues on technology facilitation and many others. Posted below are the 17 sustainable development goals that are being proposed so far.  Some of them seem quite reasonable.  After all, who wouldn’t want to “end poverty”.  But as you go down this list, you soon come to realize that just about everything is involved in some way.  In other words, this truly is a template for radically expanded “global governance”.  Once again, this was taken directly from the official UN website… 

1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere

2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture

3. Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages

4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all 

7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all 

8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all

9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation, and foster innovation

10. Reduce inequality within and among countries

11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts (taking note of agreements made by the UNFCCC forum)

14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forestscombat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss

16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development

As you can see, this list goes far beyond “saving the environment” or “fighting climate change”.

It truly covers just about every realm of human activity.

Another thing that makes this new sustainable development agenda different is the unprecedented support that it is getting from the Vatican and from Pope Francis himself. 

In fact, Pope Francis is actually going to travel to the UN and give an address to kick off the Sustainable Development Summit on September 25th…

"His Holiness" Pope Francis will visit the UN on 25 September 2015, and give an address to the UN General Assembly immediately ahead of the official opening of the UN Summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda. This Pope has been very open about his belief that climate change is one of the greatest dangers currently facing our world.  Just a couple of weeks ago, he actually brought UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to the Vatican to speak about climate change and sustainable development.  Here is a summary of what happened…

On 28 April, the Secretary-General met with "His Holiness" Pope Francis at the Vatican and later addressed senior religious leaders, along with the Presidents of Italy and Ecuador, Nobel laureates and leading scientists on climate change and sustainable development.

Amidst an unusually heavy rainstorm in Rome, participants at the historic meeting gathered within the ancient Vatican compound to discuss what the Secretary-General has called the “defining challenge of our time.”

The mere fact that a meeting took place between the religious and scientific communities on climate change was itself newsworthy. That it took place at the Vatican, was hosted by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and featured the Secretary-General as the keynote speaker was all the more striking. In addition, Pope Francis is scheduled to release a major encyclical this summer which will be primarily focused on the environment and climate change.  The following comes from the New York Times…

The much-anticipated environmental encyclical that Pope Francis plans to issue this summer is already being translated into the world’s major languages from the Latin final draft, so there’s no more tweaking to be done, several people close to the process have told me in recent weeks. I think that we can get a good idea of the kind of language that we will see in this encyclical from another Vatican document which was recently released.  It is entitled “Climate Change and The Common Good”, and it was produced by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. 

The following is a brief excerpt

Unsustainable consumption coupled with a record human population and the uses of inappropriate technologies are causally linked with the destruction of the world’s sustainability and resilience. Widening inequalities of wealth and income, the world-wide disruption of the physical climate system and the loss of millions of species that sustain life are the grossest manifestations of unsustainability. The continued extraction of coal, oil and gas following the “business-as-usual mode” will soon create grave existential risks for the poorest three billion, and for generations yet unborn. Climate change resulting largely from unsustainable consumption by about 15% of the world’s population has become a dominant moral and ethical issue for society. There is still time to mitigate unmanageable climate changes and repair ecosystem damages, provided we reorient our attitude toward nature and, thereby, toward ourselves. Climate change is a global problem whose solution will depend on our stepping beyond national affiliations and coming together for the common good. Such transformational changes in attitudes would help foster the necessary institutional reforms and technological innovations for providing the energy sources that have negligible effect on global climate, atmospheric pollution and eco-systems, thus protecting generations yet to be born. Religious institutions can and should take the lead in bringing about that change in attitude towards Creation. 

The Catholic Church, working with the leadership of other religions, can now take a decisive role by mobilizing public opinion and public funds to meet the energy needs of the poorest 3 billion people, thus allowing them to prepare for the challenges of unavoidable climate and eco-system changes. Such a bold and humanitarian action by the world’s religions acting in unison is certain to catalyze a public debate over how we can integrate societal choices, as prioritized under UN’s sustainable development goals, into sustainable economic development pathways for the 21st century, with projected population of 10 billion or more. Under this Pope, the Vatican has become much more political than it was before, and sustainable development has become the Vatican’s number one political issue. 

And did you notice the language about “the world’s religions acting in unison”?  Clearly, the Vatican believes that it has the power to mobilize religious leaders all over the planet and have them work together to achieve the “UN’s sustainable development goals”.

I can never remember a time when the United Nations and the largest religious institution on the planet, the Catholic Church, have worked together so closely.
