target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previous article</a> looked at a few secularists who have taken it upon themselves to create a new code of ethics for mankind, meant to replace the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai more than three thousand years ago. It also mentioned one of the current Pontiff’s flights into fantasy when he <a href="https://ecclesiastical-freemasonry.com/2021/10/20/pope-francis-rewrites-the-commandments/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rewrote the Commandments</a> for a group of adoring fans in Rome. </p> <p>The Ten Commandments, also known as the <em>Decalogue</em>, were of course, intended by God to be binding for all time. They are engraved into our hearts and are the guide by which we are meant to “know, love and serve God in this life” in order to one day be happy with Him in heaven.</p> <p>While “Decalogue” literally means “ten words” – without any reference to their divine origin – the dictionary meaning <em>always</em> specifies <em>The </em>Ten Commandments as recorded in the book of Exodus. No dictionary I consulted listed any meaning other than that used by Christians. Thus, the name doesn’t apply to any old list of ten principles.</p> <p>So it was with some surprise that I came across yet another novel “Decalogue” created with input from modern-day Pope: none other than John Paul II, who co-authored a “Decalogue of Assisi for Peace” in 2002.

That series of meetings with leaders from other faiths, held first by JPII then Benedict, was notorious for its open-slather ecumania and for the utter disdain shown by the reigning pope for his distinguished predecessors who warned of the dangers inherent in such an approach.</p> <p>There were many incidents during the Assisi meetings that caused great scandal among believers, but perhaps nothing was worse than seeing a statue of Buddha being placed atop the tabernacle in St Peter Church at Assisi. <em>(Images courtesy TFP except where otherwise cited.)</em></p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="1170" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/jpii-1/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii-1.jpeg" data-orig-size="350,225" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="jpii-1" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii-1.jpeg?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii-1.jpeg?w=350" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii-1.jpeg?w=350" alt="" class="wp-image-1170" width="380" height="243" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii-1.jpeg 350w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii-1.jpeg?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii-1.jpeg?w=300 300w" sizes="(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px" /><figcaption>A small Buddha was placed on the Tabernacle at Assisi in 1986.</figcaption></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="1172" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/jpii2/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii2.jpeg" data-orig-size="350,229" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="jpii2" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii2.jpeg?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii2.jpeg?w=350" loading="lazy" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii2.jpeg?w=350" alt="" class="wp-image-1172" width="373" height="244" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii2.jpeg 350w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii2.jpeg?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/jpii2.jpeg?w=300 300w" sizes="(max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px" /><figcaption>JPII reached out to some very committed heretics.</figcaption></figure> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="1176" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/assisi01/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi01.jpeg" data-orig-size="909,1024" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"AFP via Getty Images","camera":"","caption":"Dalai Lama's representative Geshe Tashi Tsering holds a candel as a symbol of peace 24 January 2001 during the gathering for peace in Assisi.

However, as Christians we know that an earthly Utopia is impossible without the entire world acknowledging the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ as Lord and King. In JPII’s ecumenical “decalogue”, references to Jesus Christ are not just thin on the ground, they are entirely absent.</p> <p>So while the sentiments sound nice, (what sane person <em>doesn’t </em>want peace on earth, for crying out loud?) the entire project was obviously a complete waste of time.
