This is a very good question. Adventists are quiet because they have been screaming this for centuries since their inception. Alonzo T. Jones wrote in 1891 a book called: The Two Republics or Rome and the United States of America (Battle Creek, Michigan: Review and Herald Publishing Company, 1891). On the pre-last page of his book he predicted saying “As surely as the movement to commit the government of the United States to a course of religious legislation, shall succeed, so surely will there be repeated the history of Rome in the fourth and fifth centuries” (Jones 1891: 893).

Surely, Jones was right. Did the Obama administration submit the USA government to a “course of religious” [proceedings] in recent days? Let CNN tell the story. Well, better still let another newspaper say more:

Howard Fineman in an article in the Huffingtonpost with the title: “Pope Francis wants to be president of the World” said the following:

“He hasn't announced his candidacy. Indeed, the job he seeks doesn't really exist. But shrewdly, methodically and with a showman's flair, the soft-spoken, 78-year-old Argentinian Jesuit priest named Jorge Mario Bergoglio -- Pope Francis -- showed Thursday that he is running to become president of the planet. He did so in a congressional ceremony of secular civic pomp in a massive legislative building that, after all, harks back to ancient Rome. As devout as he is, and as focused on the faith and practice of the Catholic Church, Francis is also campaigning to lead public, secular, political discourse worldwide. He is arguing that the two realms of faith and politics are one, and that the moral and spiritual teachings of faith should inform and guide political decisions for "our common home." This is not a new idea, but it seems again a timely one. Francis' own church sorely needs the refreshing input of world opinion. Secular leaders, meanwhile, are reviled and government itself seems to have lost any sense of moral purpose. With the rope-line skills of Bill Clinton and the stagecraft mastery of Ronald Reagan, Francis is selling himself and his message in Washington like the political master that he is.. . . The pope wants to win that battle, and Washington was one more stop on the campaign tour.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/pope-francis-world-leader_56041e79e4b00310edfa4d0f

Was the USA a New World Order? The Great Seal of the USA reads: Novos Ordo Seclorum “a New Order of Things”. They claimed that God as nodded or favored the undertaking of this new empire. The Holy Roman empire was “wounded” after 1260 years in 1798. The Vatican and papacy took over from Justinian in 538 CE when the real fall of Rome took place and the official titles of Rome were removed. Justinian in that year pronounced that he should be called no longer a Soldier but a Theologian. Pagan Rome in this marathon of powers have given over the torch to the Papacy who ran for 1260 years until Napoleon (with the help of the New Order of Things secular Constitution) removed the Papacy from power for imprisonment in France. The Naked Pope by Napoleon’s artist, Jacques-Louis David is a living witness of that embarrassing fall. Rightly called the Fall of the Papacy as Empire.
