Shimon Peres, a patriarch of today's Israel, wants to leave a legacy. Most in this mode aim for things like monuments, memoirs and money. Peres' aim is world peace. And in his opinion, Pope Francis, a man he calls "Holy Father," is the one to make it happen.

Vatican spokesmen concur, as does Italy's representative for Islam, who "fully agrees".

Two months after completing his term as Israel's ninth president, 91-year-old Shimon Peres was pounding stony pavement at the Vatican.

On September 4, 2014, he was granted an impressive 45-minute meeting with Catholicism's popular pontiff, a man Peres asserts is more powerful than the United Nations for advocating peace.

The problem, as Peres sees it, is that "in the past, most wars were motivated by the idea of nationality. Today, however, they are being waged primarily in the name of religion."

In an exclusive interview with the Catholic periodical, Famiglia Cristiana (The Christian Family), Peres divulged his plans:


While Francis has refrained from commenting on Peres' assessment, that same silence permits it. It also permits the framework of Peres' idea to be tested in the crucible of world opinion.

"The United Nations has had its day," Peres opined. "What we need is an organization of United Religions, a United Nations of religions."

"This will be the best way," he continued, "to fight terrorists who kill in the name of faith."

Accordingly, "there should be a Charter of United Religions, just as there is a UN Charter. This is what I have proposed to the pope."

Fulvio Scaglione, deputy managing editor of Famiglia Cristiana, asked, "Would you see the pope as the leader of United Religions?"

"Yes," Peres replied. And not only because Francis is a globally respected leader. He is also the best choice because the world needs "...an indisputable moral authority that says out loud, "No, God does not want this and will not allow it. We must fight against exploitation in the name of God."


miguel de Portugal comments:

To better understand the symbolism and significance of what Mr. Peres has called for, read The Spiritual Ambush of a Universal Religion - How It Was Going To Be Utilized For The Manifestation Of The False Christ, originally published twenty-five years ago.

All will then become crystal clear.
