Nation has various meanings, and the meaning has changed over time.[1] The concept of "nation" is related to "ethnic community" or ethnie. An ethnic community often has a myth of origins and descent, a common history, elements of distinctive culture, a common territorial association, and sense of group solidarity.--Wikipedia

Is it possible that this Pope is referring to the Pali's in this sense rather than the more common definition ?

I don’t know.

All I know is that both my country and my church are now both run by Marxists.

No, they're entering into a treaty with the Palestinian State, so it's a political decision.
