Mark Carney's rise to political power in Canada, un-elected, unchallenged, and elite-approved, offers a chilling glimpse into the kind of technocratic future Christians must resist. His embrace of centralized control, digital currency, demographic manipulation, and ideological compliance is not just politically dangerous. It is morally disordered. For those who believe in subsidiarity, the sanctity of the human person, and the freedom of conscience, Carney’s vision is a direct challenge to the Christian moral order.
Programmable Currency, Programmable People
Carney’s most concerning policy initiative is his push for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), a programmable form of digital money controlled by the state. Unlike cash or even traditional bank deposits, a CBDC allows every transaction to be monitored, restricted, or reversed in real time. In the name of “inclusion” and “climate,” your financial autonomy could be conditioned on your carbon score, your vaccine record, or your political opinions.
Imagine your spending being throttled because your carbon footprint exceeds an arbitrary threshold. Or your financial activity flagged because you supported a politically disfavored cause. These are not science fiction hypotheticals. They are already being tested in places like China, where the digital yuan functions as an ideological enforcement tool. Carney has even suggested that China’s yuan could one day serve as a global reserve currency alongside the U.S. dollar, signaling not just admiration but a willingness to legitimize authoritarian financial models on the world stage. There is little reason to believe that Carney, with his preference for top-down governance, would chart a different course.
In Carney’s world, money is not a neutral medium of exchange. It is a tool for managing behavior.
Why Bitcoin Is a Moral and Theological Rebellion
This is why Carney opposes Bitcoin so strongly. Bitcoin is not just a digital currency. It is a philosophical rebellion against fiat monetary tyranny. Unlike central bank currencies, Bitcoin is decentralized, resistant to manipulation, and limited in supply. Its total circulation is capped at 21 million coins. This built-in scarcity makes it deflationary, encouraging long-term thinking and fiscal prudence rather than short-term consumption.
Fiat currencies like the Canadian and U.S. dollar are designed to inflate. Central banks can expand the money supply at will, diluting its value, distorting prices, and silently transferring wealth through devaluation. This is not a design flaw. It is a feature that enables endless spending and unaccountable bureaucratic growth.
Carney cannot tolerate this. He often calls Bitcoin volatile and destabilizing, but what he truly fears is its independence. Bitcoin cannot be printed, inflated, or disabled by technocrats. It cannot fund endless wars or ideological projects. It cannot be weaponized against dissenters. It represents monetary sovereignty.
For Christians, this is significant. Bitcoin reflects a natural moral order where value is earned and not conjured by decree. It fosters virtues like responsibility, patience, and stewardship. Fiat money, by contrast, incentivizes reckless debt, state dependency, and moral engineering through economic coercion.
Carney’s hostility toward Bitcoin reveals his deeper goal. He seeks to manage every aspect of life through digital instruments. A CBDC world is one where nonconformity is flagged, and obedience is currency.
From Fiat to Faith: A Christian Response
Carney’s rise is not just a Canadian event. It is a prototype for a global system of technocratic governance. Americans and others watching from abroad must recognize the warning signs and resist the illusion of managerial utopianism.
His worldview contradicts the American founding and the Catholic tradition. It destroys subsidiarity, weakens the family, and replaces civic debate with administrative dictate. This is the future Pope Benedict XVI warned of—a world government led by impersonal structures divorced from truth and justice.
Carney’s plan to spend $35 billion on 500,000 new homes, paired with mass immigration and foreign labor schemes, reveals a vision not rooted in care for Canadians but in the machinery of social engineering.
If you are Canadian—at home or abroad—this election matters more than ever. This is not simply a choice between parties. It is a crossroads between conscience and control, between moral order and managed obedience.
To readers of faith everywhere: do not mistake Carney’s ascent for a uniquely Canadian crisis. It is the template of a system in which money serves ideology, dissent is tracked as data, and truth is filtered through algorithms.
Reject this model. Before it spreads to your own doorstep.
