$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Raphael', 'B')ut you are followers of Mars my friend....the God of War....the Judaeo Christians who accepted the gift of fire and dance around its flames.
Mars is described as patriarchal, not unlike the influence we have been under for nearly 5000 years.

If I were a follower of Mars I wouldn't hesitate to do what I want, which is to spend money on a new, live Katana, and buy an AR15 for my own personal pleasure. $400 gets me a seriously strong, sharp cutter, and the AR15 is about $1000.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')nd of course Satan would trick the sheeple into following the wrong sheppard...the Pope will lead humanity to their end.
That's his job. Don't ya see it?
When the pope suggests I should spend my treasure on a new AR; come talk to me. I doubt the Pope would even approve of the number of hours I've spent practicing the use of the above mentioned tools.
You're off in left field now.

Vatican calls for global authority on economy, raps “idolatry of the market”
The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.
“Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority,” was at times very specific, calling, for example, for taxation measures on financial transactions. “The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,” it said.
It condemned what it called “the idolatry of the market” as well as a “neo-liberal thinking” that it said looked exclusively at technical solutions to economic problems. “In fact, the crisis has revealed behaviours like selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale,” it said, adding that world economics needed an “ethic of solidarity” among rich and poor nations.
“If no solutions are found to the various forms of injustice, the negative effects that will follow on the social, political and economic level will be destined to create a climate of growing hostility and even violence, and ultimately undermine the very foundations of democratic institutions, even the ones considered most solid,” it said.
It called for the establishment of “a supranational authority” with worldwide scope and “universal jurisdiction” to guide economic policies and decisions.
Asked at a news conference if the document could become a manifesto for the movement of the “indignant ones”, who have criticised global economic policies, Cardinal Peter Turkson, head of the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department, said: “The people on Wall Street need to sit down and go through a process of discernment and see whether their role managing the finances of the world is actually serving the interests of humanity and the common good.

Well I agree with all the quotes, they're right in line with the OWS message:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '')The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,”
But.. and this is a big but..
I'm certainly suspicious of a "One World Bank" with "supranational authority" as the answer.
