Meet the pope's Bilderberger guru Prominent adviser boasts exceptional globalist credentials October7, 2015 Jerome R. Corsi,
NEW YORK – Pope Francis’ affinity for global governance was evident during his recent trip to the United States, with his remarks on his arrival at the White House echoing his embrace of the global-warming agenda in his first encyclical, “Laudato Si,” and his historic speech to the United Nations endorsing the U.N.’s new Agenda 2030.
Behind the pope’s proclamations is a powerful Vatican adviser who is highly regarded among global governance advocates, Peter Sutherland, a non-executive chairman of Wall Street investment banking powerhouse Goldman Sachs who served as chairman of oil giant BP through 2009.
Sutherland’s globalist credentials are exceptional.
Born in Ireland, where he also served as attorney general, he was appointed to the European Commission in 1985 and headed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which has evolved today into the World Trade Organization.
Later, he was appointed to the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group and served as the honorary chairman of the Trilateral Commission.
In addition to his global governance credentials, Sutherland is one of an estimated 100 elite Papal Knights within the Roman Catholic lay religious society Knights of Malta and a member of Opus Dei.
In his 1999 book, “Their Kingdom Come,” Canadian financial journalist Robert Hutchinson characterized Opus Dei as a secret society of international bankers, financiers and businessman whose goal critics have characterized as using the influence of the Catholic Church and its largely tax-exempt worldwide network to advance the aims of global government.
‘I’m not a leftist’
On Sept. 22, when flying to the United States for the first time, Pope Francis assured journalists he is not a socialist, insisting his teachings “on economic imperialism” are “the social doctrine of the church.”
