On Tuesday, the testimony was provided by Father Nicolas Buttet, a Swiss priest and religious who left a life of practicing law and politics to pursue the life of a hermit and then to found the Eucharistein Fraternity. His community, inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi, is devoted to simplicity and total reliance on God. He put a lot of humour in his talk, as this excerpt shows:
"Dear brothers and sisters, it is the moment for us to discover the face of Christ in each one of us. There is a story told that a painter came to Pope Leo XIII and said, ‘Holy Father, would you allow me to paint your portrait?’ And the Holy Father said: ‘Of course!’ So a little bit later, the painter came with the painting, and evidently, he did not have much talent. And the Holy Father, very charitable, seeing the result, said: ‘Thank you very much. Could you just add a little biblical quotation on the painting?’ And so the painter, very happy, said: ‘Of course, anything you want!’ ‘Just one little reference,’ the Pope said, ‘John 6:26’. So when you look at the verse, it is the moment when Jesus spoke to the Apostles, who were struck with terror, and He answered: ‘Don’t be afraid, it’s me!’ Sometimes, we don’t reflect the beautiful face of Jesus, and yet, this is where we need to discover Jesus.
In this special issue of the journal, MICHAEL, the reader will discover who are the true rulers of the world. We discuss that the current monetary system is a mechanism to control populations. The reader will come to understand that "crises" are created and that when governments attempt to get out of the grip of financial tyranny wars are waged.
An Efficient Financial System, written by Louis Even, is for the reader who has some understanding of the Douglas Social Credit monetary reform principles. Technical aspects and applications are discussed in short chapters dedicated to the three propositions, how equilibrium between prices and purchasing power can be achieved, the financing of private and public production, how a Social Dividend would be financed, and, finally, what would become of taxes under a Douglas Social Credit economy. Study this publication to better grasp the practical application of Douglas' work.
