Since when does the Vatican become embroiled in politics?

I seem to recall St. John Paul the Great managed to overthrow an empire simply by being a follower of Christ, and not some political activist.

"A shot across the bow," or the deliberate betrayal of people loyal to an almost two thousand year tradition based upon Faith? I am not a Catholic, so it could be argued this is out of line. But if is not a sickening betrayal, what really is it?

Has what was understood to be Truth for so many centuries, suddenly change to unacceptable, because "educated" apostates want to sound "politically correct" in an age of moral delusion.
