On World Youth Day, Pope Francis Calls for the Creation of a Better World through Climate Action and Human Fraternity

Pope Francis is in Portugal for the celebration of World Youth Day (WYD), which takes place from August 1-6, 2023. This is the largest gathering of Catholic youth in the world, which is expected to bring 354,000 pilgrims, 25,000 volunteers, 688 bishops, 30 cardinals, and Pope Francis. On his first day at WYD, Pope Francis called on the participants, including political and religious leaders, to work together and build a more peaceful world that seeks to protect our common home and human fraternity. Vatican News published the following on August 2, 2023:

• "Upon his arrival in Lisbon, on Wednesday, Pope Francis made an impassioned plea for Europe to revive the ideals of its founders and seek to build bridges of peace, fraternity and inclusion."

• "World Youth Day therefore represents an opportunity 'to build together', said the Pope, as it 'revives our desire to accomplish something new and different' and 'to set sail together towards the future.'

• "The first is the protection of creation, our common home facing the threats of climate change and of shameless pollution also affecting the oceans. 'How can we claim to believe in young people, if we do not give them healthy spaces in which to build the future?' he asked."

• "In a globalized world 'that brings us closer but fails to create fraternal closeness,' he said, 'all of us are challenged to cultivate a sense of community, a sense of closeness and solidarity'."

Pope Francis is basically calling for a religious and political confederacy in which the world comes together as one under a shared common future. He is calling for a fraternity that will be based on Catholic principles. This means that we must have a society that affirms that all religions are equal and exist by the will of God. Prophecy predicts that the Antichrist will work to deceive and unify the world's population in the last days, gaining enormous political power and influence:

"The word of God plainly declares that his law is to be scorned, trampled upon, by the world; there will be an extraordinary prevalence of iniquity. The professed Protestant world will form a confederacy with the man of sin, and the church and the world will be in corrupt harmony. Here the great crisis is coming upon the world. The Scriptures teach that popery is to regain its lost supremacy, and that the fires of persecution will be rekindled through the time serving concessions of the so-called Protestant world" (General Conference Bulletin, April 13, 1891).
