I haven’t had a chance to read the encyclical. Can you summarize? Or explain what the Holy Father means by “World Political Authority”? It sounds a bit off-putting, but perhaps he means this in an innocuous way. Can you shed light?

I haven’t had a chance to read it either.

I’m just trying to call attention to the idea that folks who want to reject it or slam it ought to have read it or at least read a balanced collection of digests of it.

It’s too new for the kind of knee-jerk reactions I’ve seen this morning.
