"...Tal magnitud ha adquirido la crisis financiera que por primera vez el Papa Benedicto XVI intervino para destacar el carácter efímero de la riqueza material. Utilizando una metáfora bíblica, el pontífice dijo que “las personas que ignoraron la palabra de Dios para buscar riqueza habían construido sus hogares sobre arena en vez de sobre la fundación sólida de la fe”. Observadores señalan que el Papa se refirió con ello a la crisis inmobiliaria en Estados Unidos..."

"...El presidente francés, Nicolas Sarkozy, cree que la actual crisis financiera internacional ha puesto ya de relieve "el regreso de la política" a la esfera económica ante lo que calificó de "la muerte de la dictadura del mercado y de la impotencia de lo público", al tiempo que pidió a la Unión Europea que deje de ser "ingenua" sobre la aplicación de la libre competencia con los otros bloques económicos y que muestre más "voluntarismo" político para que sus propuestas sirvan de base al "nuevo orden mundial" que salga de la crisis y advirtió del riesgo de una revuelta popular mundial si la cumbre financiera de Washington fracasa..."

"...701 years ago, on October 13, 1307, the French state put an end to the largest “virus” growing within France – a new multinational, known as “the Knights Templar”, reporting only to the Pope. It had held the French state at financial ransom for several years, and action was felt to be required. In Southern France, there were even rumours of how the Knights Templar were preparing to create their own state. But with one brief order – engineered with the help of the Pope – the order came to an end, its assets either taken over by the state, or by other multinationals, such as the Knights Hospitallers..."

"...The installation of the new Grand Master of the Military and Hospitaller Order of St Lazarus of Jerusalem recently took place at the Anglican Cathedral of Manchester, UK.

Don Carlos Gereda de Borbon, Marquis of Almazan was elected by a chapter general of the Order worldwide. Delegations represented Priories, Bailiwicks and Commanderies from Britain, European countries and also from USA, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Japan and South Africa..."

"..."President Obama will play a bigger role in re-inventing the international system than any other president before in past decades," Mr Rothkopf argued, with a number of organisations and treaties badly needing an "update" or to be replaced altogether – ranging from the stalled Doha round of trade talks known to the non-proliferation treaty, as well as outdated bodies such as the G7 or the International Monetary Fund that don't include the emerging economies such as China.

US-EU relations will "clearly" improve, with a second trip to Europe probably taking place in the first months of his mandate, Mr Rothkopf said..."

"...next year we'll see whether we'll get institutions that have the ability to enforce new global standards on the international financial markets. That's going to be the challenge..."

"...“We provide advice on both sides of the balance sheet, and we do it globally. There is no debate that Rothschild is a Jewish family, but we are proud to be in this region. However, it takes time to develop a global footprint.“

Banks will deleverage and there will be a new form of global governance."

...“We share the principles of the vast majority of Europeans. Respect for international law and rejection of force to settle international problems are factors that unite us.

A stable and prosperous Europe is an integral part of the emerging multipolar world order. Developing multifaceted ties with Europe is Russia’s principled choice...”

Que mala leche el Papa, en estos momentos pegando esas puntillas a la situación.
La verdad que las revanchas se las guardan durante siglos... estos si que saben.
Se transluce en sus palabras una ironía cargada de rencor hacia el capitalismo moderno, del cual son responsables (en parte) los protestantes, el señor Calvino y sus amiguetes, esos díscolos insoportables para Roma.
Eso si, desde luego que si los calvinistas de antaño viesen en que a degenerado todo … igual se sumaban!
