This will be spun into "Pope hails reign of communism!", I assure you.
First of all, theologically, NOTHING happens without the permission of God. God permitted Communism and Nazism for a reason, just like God permitted 9/11 to occur. Why? We don't know. Maybe 9/11 was a "necessary evil" to wake the world up and create the impetus to defeat the terrorists before they raise a mushroom cloud over New York City instead.
The press, which has no background in Catholic theology that I'm aware of, will undoubtedly smear the Pope with this...
It goes back to the whole question of "Why does God let bad things happen to good people?" If you don't believe that God has a plan for everyone and everything you will believe that God doesn't exist, which is ABSURD!
I understand where the Pope is coming from. I have always said that Bill Clinton was a necessary evil so that we could all stop and realize just how 'bad' our society has become.
