As a Catholic who is profoundly proud of Pope John PaulII, for many reasons but particularly for his role of the Big Three of Reagan, himself, Thatcher, and his eloquent defense of life and recently MARRIAGE, he has been curiously mushy on international relations and "peace" where he should have a more clear understanding of Reagan's maxim of "peace through strength" which helped free his homeland Poland.

That said, I believe this recent quote and statement can be easily misunderstood from intitial read. The pope can be either blunt or nuanced. In this instance he is being nuanced, I believe.

He, like MOST of us, is fed up with the U.N..... he is calling for the end of the U.N. and a new "order" I believe.

Like most of my fellow freepers, we don't want this new "order" but perhaps the pope can be helpful in making this League of Nations nightmare a thing of the past...

Could he be talking about a "new order" under the "Kingship of Jesus Christ"? I do reall him asking us to pray the rosary for the conversion of Islam.

Christians comprise one sixth of the world's population. That is probably more than either of the present contenders (Communists or Fabian Socialists) for world hegenomy have.
