— The World Economic Forum’s “*Great Reset*
<https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/>” initiative will communize
capitalism, technocratize society, feed secularization, and pave the way
for a de-Christianized world, Italian philosophy professor Renato Cristin
has warned.

*The proposal, backed by world leaders and which **aims to create a more
sustainable future and build solidarity **after the coronavirus crisis,* *would
“exacerbate” the current process of secularization and de-Christianization
and the Church should not be a part of it, **believes Prof. Cristin who
teaches philosophical hermeneutics at the University of Trieste in Italy.*

An ardent anti-Communist who has called for a *Nuremberg trial for
Communism*

Cristin commented on the initiative for an *article*
<https://www.ncregister.com/news/great-reset-plan-parallels-some-of-pope-s-initiatives-but-there-s-a-crucial-difference>
in
the* Register* published Feb. 4 on the Great Reset. As always, it’s not
possible to include more than a few select comments in such an article, so
here below are his comments in full.

*Why do you think Pope Francis and the Vatican are aligning themselves with
such initiatives as The Great Reset, the Council for Inclusive Capitalism,
Mission 4.7, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, etc.?*

*I think that, in principle, Pope Bergoglio adheres to any initiative that
is, even minimally, hostile to the capitalist system. His vision, which is
strongly based on liberation theology or on that political theology that
originated in Latin America and is anti-Western (and especially anti-U.S.),
anti-capitalist, progressive, pro-Marxist, and essentially communist, leads
him to embrace any social-economic project that has some of these
characteristics*. *Examples of this are* *the adhesion to the Great Reset
project or to **the Global Compact for Migration
<https://www.ncregister.com/news/vatican-us-diverge-on-un-s-global-compact-on-migration>
drawn
up by the UN*, but also *the close relationship between the Vatican and
China, with which Bergoglio seems to be in great harmony,* to the point
that one of the people closest to Bergoglio, *Bishop Marcelo Sánchez
Sorondo, maintains that “those who are best implementing the social
doctrine of the Church are the Chinese,”* *and so China “is assuming a
moral leadership that others have abandoned.”** China as the world’s moral
leader is an image that is too grotesque to be credible, but it is useful
for Bergoglio’s argument against the capitalist socioeconomic system and in
his parallel praise of poverty as an effective instrument for approaching
God.* And* in this direction also goes the project entitled The Economy of
Francesco, which supports the theory of a “communal economy,” **which* beyond
the beautiful formula is in open contrast to the Western capitalist system
and *leads to very dangerous impoverishment and socialistic adventures.*

*Do you think that the book The Great Reset by Klaus Schwab and Thierry
Malleret, on which the agenda of the World Economic Forum is based, is as
serious as some claim it is: an attempt to merge Chinese communism with
capitalism, repackaged Marxism, or something else in your opinion, perhaps
simply offering a humanist ideal?*

Schwab’s book is a typical example of the crisis of the current world, of
the lack not only of certainties but also of ideas, understood as firm,
clear and solid points on which to build the future. *The Great Reset is an
example of *this deficiency and of *the mental confusion with which **people
try to find answers*. I think that *the Western world is today,* for many
reasons I don’t have the space here to explain, *under what I call “the
mark of chaos,*” and that even attempts like the Great Reset are a result
of the disorientation that afflicts the Western world today. Of course, the
project (I do not speak of “plot” because there is no plot in the proper
sense, only the struggle for power, which has always animated human
history) of *the World Economic Forum **is to build a “new world order”,
but this set-up, if it ever comes to fruition, will be a further
contribution to global chaos.*

*Today we need theories that are well-founded, solid, clear and effective,
that refer to the great values of the Western tradition and that will
really bring order to the world*,* but the Great Reset project is a melting
pot of various approaches, a mixture of positions in which stands out a
propensity both to communize capitalism and technocratize society. *This
will have the possible result of creating an economic, social and cultural
hybrid in which, I believe, in the end the strongest ideological aspect
will prevail, namely socialism. *And I fear **that the Biden administration
will be fertile ground for this confused and feel-good economic-social
theory.*

*Some argue that this is a positive, hopeful document with sensible ideas
for making the world a better place, mainly by increasing mutual solidarity
after years of consumerist excesses and individualism. What do you say to
his point of view?*

*Progressives, understood not only as cultural Marxists but also as naïve
people who believe in* *the goodness of man and the progress of humanity,* *see
in any seemingly philanthropic theory something positive, a contribution to
the betterment of humanity.* But if you don’t analyze the contents of a
theory in detail, you lose sight of its purpose, which is not always
immediately decipherable. *The purpose of Schwab’s book is to overcome the
crisis of the system by subtracting elements of capitalism and introducing
principles of another kind, socialist above all and therefore also statist*.
Excessive consumerism is not attenuated by greater control on the part of
the state, nor by economic “degrowth,” as many left-wing economists and
sociologists claim, but by a growth in consciousness on the part of
people. *There
is no trace of the problem of conscience**, which is a spiritual and
philosophical problem*, *in Schwab’s book, where the term conscience is
mostly used in a pragmatic sense and, in one case, in reference to
Confucianism.*

*In my opinion*, in order to overcome the crisis of capitalism we should
not look for other economic experiences, because then we always end up, in
one way or another, with socialism. Instead,* we need more capitalism —
that is to say, a strengthening of the foundations and of the traditional
and healthy principles of capitalism, which would reduce wild financial
speculation and bring the compass back to its classical hinges: production,
accumulation, reinvestment and so on.*

*The Great Reset book does not mention God or religion. Do you think the
Church should align itself with such a secular initiative?*

*The loss of **the religious dimension **(and therefore the disappearance
of **the sense of the sacred*)* is an outcome of secularization that* not
only affects the Church and the faithful in the strict sense, but *also
produces a nihilistic secularism that damages the entire **Western society,**
even in* *its secular institutions and civil structures. * Therefore, a
general theory of society (as the Great Reset would like to be) should
protect and enhance the religious sphere and its institutional structures,
while the theory of *the Great Reset feeds secularization and paves the way
for a de-Christianized society, deprived of **a founding nucleus of **western
civilization*, *which is precisely the traditional religious sphere.*

*And so*, to answer your question,* I believe that the Church should
not **support
this type of initiative that exacerbates de-Christianization*, * because
historical processes are difficult to reverse, especially if, at the gates
of the West,* *there is a religious force like Islam that is radically
hostile to** our Judeo-Christian tradition* *and that,* although fragmented
and lacking an institutional summit, *aims at nothing less than the
conquest of **our societies*.  *And it is also to negative forces like
Islamism that reckless initiatives like the Great Reset pave the way. **The
Church should instead apply the Social Doctrine of the Church, in its
original and authentic formulation given by Pope Leo XIII in his
encyclical Rerum Novarum
<http://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_l-xiii_enc_15051891_rerum-novarum.html>,
and by Pope John Paul II in his encyclicals Laborem Exercens
<http://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_14091981_laborem-exercens.html>
and Centesimus
Annus
<http://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_01051991_centesimus-annus.html>,
instead
of* *following Third World and anti-Western economic and
theological-political visions linked to liberation theology.*
