Pope Francis Preaches Jubilee

Pope Francis Preaches Jubilee (this was also done in other ancient civilizations such as Persia). A general amnesty including debt amnesty. This is a way to restore and renew society. It touches on all three aspects of societal relations, namely communal, mutual exchange, & hierarchical as theorized by David Graeber in Debt: The First Five Thousand Years).

"He took his cue from the biblical passage in the book of Leviticus in which the Jubilee was instituted among the Jews. According to the rules of the Jubilee, the year served as a “kind of general amnesty” in which a person who had been forced to sell their goods or property could regain possession of them, he noted.


In that time, “requirements such as the Jubilee were used to combat poverty and inequality, guaranteeing a life of dignity for all and an equal distribution of the land on which to live and from which to draw sustenance,” the Pope observed.

Because the land originally belonged to God, who then entrusted it to man, no one could claim exclusive possession of it or use ownership to create situations of inequality, he said.

“With the Jubilee whoever had become poor returned to have what was necessary in order to live, and whoever had become rich restored to the poor what they had taken from them.”

The result “was a society based on equality and solidarity where freedom, land and money would become again a good for everyone,” Francis explained." [Unquote]

I would imagine that eventually a general amnesty will have to promulgated across the world.  We are already spinning out of control in our societies, and there seems no end in sight.  But before this can happen the little Tribulation will have to come it would seem.
