Editor's Note: The Hegelian dialectic has been defined as "the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution". What we're seeing now is the thesis + antithesis = synthesis of a centuries-long plot unfold before our eyes — politically, economically, and religiously.

The Pope (or the guy with the pope robe/hat everyone is calling the Pope, whichever you prefer) is now openly calling for everyone to pray for a one world religion "because love and peace". It's the closest we'll get to a one world religion commercial, complete with swelling emotional music and claims that this is about peace and love and acceptance and love and peace. They sure do always promise a utopia, don't they? Reminds us of Jeremiah 6:14, when they say "peace, peace," when there is no peace…

Funny, while he calls for this open discussion about religions coming together, the comments section of the original YouTube video have been closed.

P.S. – The punchline? The video was put together by the Jesuit global prayer network.
