    Abstract

    The purpose of the paper is to consider the Holy See’s position on what has been called the „global reset” through a consideration of its key statements and activities in relation to the World Economic Forum, a non-governmental organization (NGO), and the United Nations Organization (UN), an intergovernmental organization. To this end, the paper is divided into three parts.  First part defines terms and presents a backdrop for the discussion. Second part II discusses the work of Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), who views COVD-19 as the trigger to launch what he describes as the “global reset,” which is discussed and critiqued. Third part  provides an overview of the current activities of the Holy See within the UN system, which seems to closely align with global reset initiatives of the WEF. Justifications for the Holy See’s position are considered as well as voices critical of the same. The paper concludes that the Holy See has embraced certain global reset initiatives and is intentionally using language like  that of the WEF, however, it claims that its approach is grounded in scripture and a prudent application of the social doctrine of the Church. Others disagree.
