Italian writer looks to be proposing a new ‘Holy Roman Empire’ to further unite and push Europe forward

(Grok AI illustration)

A reader from Italy sent me a link in Italian (https://www.maurizioblondet.it/scritti-sull-imperium/) which I machine-translated into English. Here are some excerpts:

WRITINGS ON THE IMPERIUM

The writings on the Imperium collect some reflections that the Author, Cosmo Intini, musician and scholar of Christian Wisdom …

The crisis of the West’s socio-cultural, economic, and even religious model has highlighted Europe’s spiritual need to recover its “traditional identity.” This is necessary to address the challenges posed by a geopolitical future marked by “multipolarity.”

According to the Author, the Imperium, as a “traditional and sacred” archetype, represents the only irreplaceable “model” capable of satisfying the need to free oneself from the suffocating and harmful “unipolar Atlanticist” yoke, to assume an adequate structuring and strength of values and an equal ontological dignity with respect to those realities that are emerging according to similar political-identity paths and with which it will soon have to confront.

From the perspective of a fruitful and synergistic repositioning of the Empire alongside the Papacy (the necessary restoration of the Regalitas alongside the Sacerdotium, within the Roman Ecclesia), Sacred and Imperial Europe will be able to continue to carry out that function of Katechon which was providentially assigned to it since its rise on the vestiges of the most ancient and glorious Romanitas … 07/23/25 https://www.maurizioblondet.it/scritti-sull-imperium/

Note he wants religion and the papacy to work with an European Empire similar to historical alliances in the past.

So, this is another call for Europe to bind with Greco-Roman Catholicism in an effort to re-create a type of ‘Holy Roman Empire.”

While both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis called for that, we have also seen some secular leaders do the same (e.g. RI: Hungarian PM Says Only Solution to World’s Problems Is Return to Christianity (Orban); COGwriter: It is not original Christianity that Victor Orban wants).

Furthermore, back in the December 1948 issue of The Plain Truth Herbert W. Armstrong predicted a coming “United States of Europe” when he wrote:

It was the SERMON that shot forth that spark, impregnating the minds of world leaders in attendance. This amazing sermon was delivered by a foremost radio speaker of the Catholic Church, Bishop Duane G. Hunt of Salt Lake City … Without the guidance, supervision, authority of the Catholic Church, he told these men, they were laboring in vain …

This was the Roman Catholic bid to resurrect the so-called “HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE” ! And PROPHECY says they will succeed! … At the psychological time, the pope will step in … Thru this political movement, he will UNIFY … nations in Europe. It will be a “The UNITED STATES OF EUROPE,” but that probably will never become its official name. (Armstrong HW. Now It Can Be Told…The Plain Truth, December 1948, pp. 2,5).

Yes, Roman Catholic leaders have long wanted some type of a United States of Europe. Notice that he believed it would take a combination of Europeans and the Church of Rome to make that happen.

Why?

Because of scriptures in the 17th chapter of the Book of Revelation.

Related to some of that, Herbert W. Armstrong stated:

(Revelation 17:1-3). “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials,” vials that contain the seven last plagues, incidentally, that have been described just before this, “and talked with me, and said unto me, Come hither and I will show thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters.”

Now a woman is symbolic of a church, and he’s speaking of a great church that sits on many waters. Now in verse 15 (Revelation 17:15): “And he saith unto me, The waters which thou saw, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and different languages.” In other words, it was a church ruling over different nations speaking different languages.

(v.2) “With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,” because Christ is the king, and the church is the affianced bride of Christ, and if we’re in the church, we’re supposed to be true to Christ and not the kings of this world. “…And the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away into the wilderness, and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast…” That is a wild animal.

And this beast represented a government, just like I showed you and mentioned to you from the 7th chapter of Daniel, and the 13th chapter of Revelation. “…Full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” Now this was a very great church, for example, and ruling over many of them. Now he gives a name, an identity: (v.5) “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT…” (Revelation 17:5) In other words, the Babylonian mystery religion, which was the same religion that old King Nebuchadnezzar had. The Babylonian mystery religion, coming down to our time, “THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Armstrong HW. Visions of the End Time. World Tomorrow telecast, November 6, 1978)

Various political leaders visiting and consulting with pontiffs look to help set the stage for the rise of the end time, Babylonian church-state alliance that will occur in Europe.

The Bible itself teaches that Europe will reorganize:

12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)

As more leaders in Europe want a more cohesive union, look for more to try to try some version of Greco-Roman Catholicism to it.

Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations? Some claim that these passages refer to a gathering of 10 currently existing nations together, while one group teaches that this is referring to 11 nations getting together. Is that what Revelation 17:12-13 refers to? The ramifications of misunderstanding this are enormous. A related sermon is titled Ten Kings of Revelation and the Great Tribulation.
