Claim. Rome — the peninsular Mediterranean civilization — held the geopolitical foundation to unite the world under Christianity, but the Vatican prioritized Rome over the world, and Christianity’s restoration vehicle was therefore forced to circle through Britain, America, and the Pacific before returning to Asia.
Elaboration. SMM reads the failure as structural: “World unification should have begun from Rome, but Rome was unable to fulfill that mission” (1.2. The reason Israel, Rome, and Britain failed, 229-69, 1992.4.9). The Vatican-self-interest diagnosis is explicit: “the Vatican in Rome was lacking a broader perspective. Centering on Christianity, what the Vatican should have done was to serve the world, even at the expense of Rome, the Vatican, and Christianity. They did not know that they existed for the sake of the world” (204-159, 1990.7.8). The geographical circuit is forced: “the Messiah’s teachings were chased away to Rome … from the peninsula to an island nation, and then they spread out to seek a global domain. Therefore, based on the Protestant sphere of civilization on the American continent, they returned” (204-159, 1990.7.8). The Roman, British, and American failures are sequential — each providential nation must yield to the next.
