Papal Promotion of Collective Ownership and Theft
by Richard Bennett and Robert J. Nicholson
The present pope, Benedict XVI, and his Vatican system teach that private property is not personal as such, but belongs to all people. His predecessor, Pope John Paul II stated, “Private property, in fact, is under a ‘social mortgage,’ which means that it has an intrinsi-cally social function, based upon and justified precisely by the principle of the universal des-tination of goods.”1 The principle of “the universal destination of goods” is clearly observed in what the present pope endorses in the second part of his encyclical entitled “God is Love.”2
Benedict wholly sanctions the principle of the universal ownership of all goods embalmed in the writings of popes Leo XIII, Pius XI, John XXIII, Paul VI, and John Paul II.3 The phrase, “all goods,” includes not only the goods found in nature but manufactured goods as well. As John Paul II stated, “The vast majority of people can have access to those goods which are intended for common use: both the goods of nature and manufactured goods.’’4 Another Vatican Council II document upholds the same principle of the “universal ownership of all goods” and emphatically teaches, “If one is in extreme necessity, he has the right to procure for himself what he needs out of the riches of others.”5
The more this socialistic principle is legally accepted by various nations, the greater gain there is for the needy, particularly of the one billion Catholics worldwide. This doc-trine of a claimed prior right to all goods, based on need, is what Benedict XVI proposes as the fundamental norm of the State: a share of the community’s goods is to be guaranteed to each person. In the pope’s own words, “It is true that the pursuit of justice must be a fun-damental norm of the State and that the aim of a just social order is to guarantee to each per-son, according to the principle of subsidiarity, his share of the community’s goods.”6 http://www.bereanbeacon.org/articles/sorted/01_On_Catholicism/Papal_Economics.pdf

So, lets say you decide to go on vacation and return in one, two, weeks. By these standards, whomever wants your house takes it – tuff shit for you. Currently, South Africa. The language for it has been in place long enough but few will read it for themselves. Get ready.

I’m ready, the basement is full of TNT and the plunger is a half mile out from the house in a box. No problem, I’ll grab my stuff when it flys by.
