Some in the media are calling it just a statement about "economic justice." But Pope Benedict XVI's "Charity in Truth" statement, also known as an encyclical, is a radical document that puts the Roman Catholic Church firmly on the side of an emerging world government.
In explicit and direct language, the Pope calls for a "true world political authority" to manage the affairs of the world. At the same time, however, the Pope also warns that such an international order could "produce a dangerous universal power of a tyrannical nature" and must be guarded against somehow.
The New York Times got it right this time, noting the Pope's call for a world political authority amounted to endorsement of a New World Economic Order, a long-time goal of the old Soviet-sponsored international communist movement. Bloomberg.com highlighted the Pope's call for a new world order with "teeth."
The Pope's shocking endorsement of a "World Political Authority," which has prophetic implications for some Christians who fear that a global dictatorship will take power in the "last days" of man's reign on earth, comes shortly after the United Nations Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis issued a call for global taxes and more powerful global institutions. U.N. General Assembly President, Miguel D'Escoto, a Communist Catholic Priest, gave a speech at the event calling on the nations of the world to revere "Mother Earth" but concluded with words from the Pope blessing the conference participants.
The controversial Papal statement comes just before a meeting of the G-8 nations and a scheduled meeting between the Pope and President Obama at the Vatican on July 10.
Sounding like Obama himself, Pope Benedict says this new international order can be accomplished through "reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance

This is leftist media trashing the Pope — it’s not the true message.
You are believing the lamestream spin. Why is it that the Republicans on FR can recognize leftist spin from the media on politics, but when the media spins left on the Catholic Church — everyone here (except the REAL Catholics who read the encyclical — spin with them??????
Read the links I posted.
Are you a Catholic?
“Capitalism” is a slur invented by the Commies. Call it what it really is: Free Enterprise / Free Market.
The Pope is wrong!!
Not to put too fine a point on it but the popes have always been in favor of a single overriding world authority. The Papacy.
Respectfully, I don't see where it's a big burden to edit one's post before sending it. Seems pretty simple and effective to me!
This is one politically hard-left Pope. Perhaps this explains his radical departure from the Catholic Church’s traditional position supporting biblical creation. Not only that, God specifically confused our tongues to keep us from forming a one world government. In addition, the Bible specifically states that it is Satan’s goal to set up a one world government to turn mankind against the one true God, and to use the power of this world government to specifically control the world economy, determining who gets to buy and sell, thus using this power to force the world to worship himself or face economic privation. Is it really possible that the Pope unaware of this?
**This is one politically hard-left Pope.**
Pope Benedict XVI is the most conservative Pope the Catholic Church has had in a long time!
READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT, PLEASE!
Don’t believe the liberal spin. Read the actual document. The Pope is being very straightforward on tightening down the U. N. not endorsing it.

If it’s such a bad thing, why create the problem in the first place?
Sorry folkd, but this is the Ratzinger of Vatican II. This is not a surprise.

Amazing!
And they question the intentions/judgment of Sarah Palin???
Benedict XVI is not a “hard-left” ANYTHING.
The Temple must be rebuilt before the end days come; I am sure the Pope is quite aware of this- are you unaware?
