The conference featured 12 specialized villages where participants discussed changes in areas like work, agriculture, energy, poverty, business, and finance. This initiative follows several papal encyclicals addressing global challenges:
Key proposals from Pope Francis include:
- Uniting as a "single human family"
- Implementing global governance and international collaboration
- Reforming the United Nations
- Eliminating nuclear weapons
- Redirecting military spending to fight hunger
- Creating a new economic system to replace the current market-driven model
Biblical prophecies suggest a significant role for religious influence in future global economics. Revelation describes a religious entity that will have substantial political and economic power, particularly in connection with a revived Roman system.
The Bible indicates this religious-political partnership will:
- Exercise control over commerce
- Have worldwide influence
- Affect multiple nations and languages
- Form alliances with political leaders
While the "Economy of Francesco" aims to create a better world, scripture suggests that lasting positive change requires addressing humanity's fundamental moral challenges. The Bible promises a future "world to come" under Christ's leadership that will establish a truly just economic and political system.
