IN SUMMARY - DR. CHARLES MERCIECA APPEARS TO BELIEVE:
* Republicans are the devil's instruments
* The ideal government is global
* A Marian theocracy is the last hope for the world
* Immediate nuclear disarmament is necessary to avert worldwide disaster
* Cuba provides a model of government that serves the people as opposed to the U.S. government that serves the politicians and big business
* Capitalism opposes Christianity
He promotes the Earth Charter.
By his membership on the Board of Advisors, he endorses Jacqueline Ripstein's HuManIsm Movement. Presumably Mercieca approves of Ripstein's artwork, the most famous of which is a painting of Our Lady of Medjugorje, an image promoted by Neo-Cathar and former Roman Catholic James Twyman and disobedient Croatian Franciscan Fr. Jozo Zovko, who is the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Medjugorje visionaries. Ripstein's second most famous painting features two naked lovers in a sexual embrace, which under blacklight reveals that the male lover is an angel, hinting at the alchemical wedding.
Merceica also promotes a Russian Archbishop who founded the Catholic Orthodox Church of Russia, and who works with a Canadian former Episcopal priest Fr. John Rossner and the priest's wife who is a working medium.
On the Archbishop's website is an essay by Judith Mann titled "The Legend of The Cathars". Also on this same website are Merceica's essays:
* "Mary's Role in Uniting Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic Churches"
* "Ways of Dialogue Between the Mother of God Church and the Russian Orthodox Church"
* "Marian Peaceful Theocracy as a New Type of Social Formation"
As bizarre as all of this is, Merceica has supporters. According to his bio (at the bottom of the website), he has taught in Russian, Korean, and El Salvadoran Universities as well as Harvard. He is the Honorary President of a Swiss Business School.
He also has important connections which I will put in a separate post.
