Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche today released an open letter to Pope Leo XIV, which began by explaining her purpose in addressing the Pontiff: “I am writing to you at this grave hour of mankind, since you may be the only person left who could hopefully avoid a descent into what you yourself called an ‘irreparable abyss…’” She went on to stress the imminent danger posed by the rapidly expanding Iran war.
Over the past 48 hours, despite wishful thinking to the contrary, the Strait of Hormuz has been closed to oil tankers, and energy supplies are suffering major disruption, as the U.S. and Israel carry out sustained, massive strikes on Iran. The Malthusian (aka ‘Satanic’) masters behind these policies measure their “success” in terms of closing down physical production, modern standards of sanitation and longevity, and the institution of sovereign nations. And for them, shutting down energy supplies is a long step in that direction. These are the super-decadent “Epstein Class,” who abide in a fantasy world populated only by objects of their depredation
Look at Central Europe. Today, Hungary called upon the EU’s Brussels gang to face reality, and drop the ban on Russian oil and gas. Slovakia’s Prime Minister Peter Fico warned that the gang’s “ruthless, crude violation” of international law has unleashed the type of recklessness of Ukraine’s Zelenskyy, in making a public call for the assassination of Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Such a state of mind, Fico warned, could easily have Zelenskyy pull a Nord Stream 2.0, destroying the famous Druzhba oil pipeline from Russia to Europe.
The same disease is taking over the United States. Thirty U.S. congressmen stood up and called out the ‘Armageddonist’ infection gripping various military commanders, starting from the end-of-the-world psychopath, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. President Trump continues to work in close tandem with Hegseth on Iran, telling the media that last week’s bombing of the Iranian girl’s school, in a “double-tap” attack – a war crime – was carried out by… Iran! Yet, later in the day, Trump proceeded to call Russian President Putin to discuss the crisis in Iran. While the specifics of which have not been made public at this time, Trump suggested that they should renew their pledge to consult more regularly.
Zepp-LaRouche’s letter to Pope Leo XIV intervened into this rapidly worsening global crisis with a direct call to action. “I am writing to you at this grave hour of mankind, since you may be the only person left who could hopefully avoid a descent into what you yourself called an ‘irreparable abyss,’ an escalation of the unprovoked war against Iran into potentially a global nuclear war, which would end all life on earth.
“In the recent period, the world has entered a radically worse phase, where international law has been declared nonexistent… and the principle of ‘might makes right’ is being elevated to be the privilege of the powerful.”
Needless poverty and death have resulted, yet, even worse, nuclear annihilation is staring humanity in the face. “Something that could be a positive, maybe even the decisive step to arouse the consciousness of the world, would be—in the spirit of the Council of Florence and the unity of the church brought about by Nicholas of Cusa, bringing the delegations of the Orthodox Church to the Councils of Florence and Ferrara—that you, your Holiness, and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, as well as Patriarch Bartholomäus I of Constantinople, would take the courageous step and call together for all religious leaders of the world, as well as all people of good faith, believers and non-believers alike, to step forward in defense of peace.”
Referring to the Pope’s own call last fall for the “coincidence of opposites” method of thinking and acting, originally proposed by the Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa after the 1453 fall of Constantinople threatened to turn worshippers of one God into vicious factional warriors against each other, Zepp-LaRouche stated: “At a time when there is the danger of a world war, and when some use the cloak of religion to argue for an early Armageddon, that same voice of reason must be raised … that it cannot be that people kill each other in the name of God.”
She concluded: “If, as a first step, the Churches of the West and the East would unite and campaign actively and daily for world peace, this could affect the majority of people to express their commitment for peace and thus cause a change in world history and fulfill the will of God, who for sure did not create the world and gift humanity with reason, to have it destroyed by the lack of it.”
