katholikos is Greek for global

Katholikos may be Greek for universal or global, but Poppy believes that it's an ethos by no means exclusive to the Catholic faith.

“They all do it,” says Poppy. “Religions, corporations and all manner of political, social and philanthropic organizations are fired by the katholikos ethos – wanting to spread their tentacles throughout the world.”

“Mostly the globalization of ideas, technologies and products is beneficial, or at least benign,” says Poppy, “but some things just shouldn’t be allowed to spread beyond their country of origin.”

“Like a bacterium or virus that may be harmless to one host but fatal to another,” says Poppy, “the global spread of some things can be fatal to some indigenous populations.”

“Not just fatal in terms of being wiped out physically by a disease or a substance – as invading westerners wiped out natives with their foreign diseases and alcoholic beverages,” says Poppy, “but also fatal in terms of indigenous customs, language and traditions.”

“Today, we’re seeing not just people and their traditions threatened by globalization, but iconic local products, too,” says Poppy. “The big corporations come in, take-over small producers and people who’ve grown up being proud of a local product suddenly find it no longer belongs to ‘them’ – it belongs to the world – and it no longer provides employment for them – it is cheaper to produce overseas.”

“Alexander the Great of Macedon, near Greece, was the first and most well-known global influencer – spreading his brand of civilization from Egypt to India,” says Poppy, “and the Greek colonists founded the Roman Empire which, in turn, ‘civilized’ most of the known world at that time by conquest.”

“And then the Greeks were instrumental in spreading Christianity,” says Poppy. “Those Greeks sure know how to do the world!”

the curse of the katholikos ethos

Despite the legal separation of the church from government, Poppy believes that the katholikos ethos is very much alive and kicking in our governing bodies and that it holds as much sway in determining policies as it ever did, and is cursing us as much as it ever did.

“The Soviet Union was ostensibly atheist,” says Poppy, “but the Orthodox Church of Russia never died out, and indeed continued to pull strings.”

“It’s the same in even the most socialist of our governments,” says Poppy. “Politicians pretend to be freethinkers or even atheist, but none of them rose to prominence without the power of an almighty organization behind them.”

“The policies of our elected governments are mostly in synch with Church edicts,” says Poppy, “and when conflicts of interests arise the politicians always have the men in frocks to whisper into their ears and absolve them of their sins."

“Most parliamentary sessions start and end with prayer,” says Poppy, “and most officials swear on a Bible. Why is this done if there was, indeed, true separation?”

“If the Pope in Rome is the head of the universal Catholic Church, which is higher than any government and upholds the original Greek katholikos ethos,” says Poppy, “then the God Bods in government are not representing us, or our wishes, but that of their true masters and the end result will be a world government.”
