DE GLORIA OLIVAE: THE GLORY OF THE OLIVES

Experts in religious topics are focused on the next election of the new man to lead the Catholic Church, and they point out that, taking into account the prophecies of St. Malachy, the next Pope, that by the way, is marked in that list as the one before the last, would be one to fit the description of the Latin motto: “De Gloria Olivae” that means “Glory of the Olives”.

Said description may mean, according to the experts, that the origin or the life of the next Pontiff would have a close link to a country which symbolism is related to olive trees, and among the most important olive producers are: Spain, France and Italy.

In my particular opinion, I would not discard Greece, Turkey, North of Africa countries and one that draws my attention in a powerful way: Palestine.

Why Palestine? Well, because aside of being a land rich in olives, we can locate there the Mount of the Olives, one of the most famous references in the New Testament which central subject is the acceptance of Jesus Christ of His Martyrdom.- Should it be so, the effort for the new Pope would be of gigantic proportions.

Experts continue saying that should justice exist, the Church should elect a Cardinal of the Hispanic America, as this is the region of the Continent that houses the vast majority of Catholics. And they are right.

Nevertheless, I would digress a little: Do you remember the parable of The Good Shepherd? In which Jesus Christ pointed out the example of the loving shepherd that leaves the whole flock and goes out to search for one single lamb: the lost one.

Taking into consideration that Europe has been the scenario –par excellence – of the greatest –as glorious as shameful – facts of Catholicism, it binds them together and at being deserted by a lot of its faithful to the overwhelming growth of atheism, materialism and the personal comfort that have elevated to a religion category: selfishness, hence, this would seem the best land to work for the Good Shepherd: To search and get the lost lamb back home.

If we look at it closer, our beloved John Paul II, paved with solid bases a wide, sure and enlightened road, thought still difficult, so his successor can play the role of the Good Shepherd in all its meanings.

Now, invoking experts once more, European expectations are centered in Spain, France and Italy.

Hence, one of the most viable candidates to wear the sandals of the Fisherman, is a childhood friend of Karol Jozef Wojtyla back in Poland, this would not be strange at all and on the contrary it would gives us hope that he would follow a similar path.

Only that there is a fact that cannot be overlooked: He was born a Jew and after the outbreak of World War II, and the consequent invasion of Poland by the Nazis, that caused the imprisonment of all citizens that represented a danger for the invader power, among them the Jews, his family was sent to prison camps and but he could run away and be safe in one of above mentioned countries, where at the age of 14, converted into Catholicism.

Most optimist scholars think that should he become Pope, it would mean an enormous victory in the love-hate relationship along the centuries between the Catholic faith and the Jewish fath: The Converse Jew.

But, at the sight of the developing facts in history that has revealed us the master plan of one of the branches of Judaism, a branch by the way negative and dangerous that threatens the world peace and even Judaism itself: Zionism. This forces us to look at this topic through a more realistic lenses.

Zionism is a dream that was born centuries ago but it began to be carried out in Eastern Europe at the end of Century 19, when Theodor Herzl released a well-designed plan and that resulted in the establishment of the State of Zion, that is Israel.

I will not go into details on this subject as it would deviate us from the main topic.

Now, it is a proved fact that sensible points of decision-taking and direction in economy, law, military and politics in the world powers, are being occupied by learned Jews and 90% favorable to Zion.

The above is giving a very dangerous turn in a world level since they have in their hands most (if not all) of the countries of the world.

Therefore, it should not be disregarded that one more sensible point they could have taken to work in favor of Zionism – by whatever reason – would be the religious one and the goal would be the Catholic Church, a most valuable tool.

In such a case, the victory would not be of Catholicism over Judaism, but a colossal victory of Zionism, using as a ladder Judaism, over Catholicism.

Let us hope and pray that the converse Cardinal is an honest one and this triumph means the first case.

Of course that my humble opinion as well as those of the experts are not being eagerly awaited by the Cardinal’s College, but we do wish with all our heart that it is the Holy Ghost the one to operate in this election in such a crucial moment of our history.

It is important to underline that it would not necessarily mean the case of this particular Cardinal, it could be another that could keep, for that purpose, a low profile. I do not feel comfortable with myself at expressing this opinion, since I do not know personally this Cardinal, nor his feelings nor his heart or ideas. But I had to. I believe it was necessary.

Because then the words of Jesus Christ when He delivered the keys of the kingdom of heavens to St. Peter, sounded like “TU ES PETRUS” but today in the Third Millennium they would resound in an anguishing interrogation “TU ES…PETRUS?
