I am reading the whole thing. This would supports argument that we are going to get world government anyway, so it should be ‘good’

9. Love in truth — caritas in veritate — is a great challenge for the Church in a world that is becoming progressively and pervasively globalized. The risk for our time is that the de facto interdependence of people and nations is not matched by ethical interaction of consciences and minds that would give rise to truly human development. Only in charity, illumined by the light of reason and faith, is it possible to pursue development goals that possess a more humane and humanizing value. The sharing of goods and resources, from which authentic development proceeds, is not guaranteed by merely technical progress and relationships of utility, but by the potential of love that overcomes evil with good (cf. Rom 12:21), opening up the path towards reciprocity of consciences and liberties.

He is welcome to call for charitable, free giving. He is NOT welcome to call for a world organization that can make governments be nice - because corrupt politicians will define nice.

And once it is created, it will call all of Christianity “not nice”. Muslims will be fine, peace-loving folks, ‘though.
