Who, or what, then, would be the higher authority or power that would enforce "the LAW" and make " Such an authority" observe any principals at all, much less those desired by this encyclical?

Crickets.

I may be going way out on a limb here but somehow I can't bring myself to believe that the very people angling to control a world government feel themselves constrained by any principle at all, much less one where the government that governs best governs least.

Cordially,

>> “..believe that the very people angling to control a world government feel themselves constrained by any principle at all...”

Precisely. The very same people who brought us the present crisis, and are trying desperately to make it worse, will be the ones who will control any putative “World Authority.” The US Constitution means nothing, to them. The moral authority of the RCC means nothing, to them. There is exactly one authority they respect: POWER.

The Pope should know this. He should know that, at most, they will PRETEND to agree to the principles he has espoused, and then ignore them. But, by then they will have achieved complete POWER, with his imprimatur.

I think that the Pope and the RCC would serve the world better, by example:

Mark 10:21 “And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. “
