[Notwithstanding]

For some reason you wish to dictate the pope's daily activities.

The pope was addressing Catholic military chaplains from around the world - not the US public.

Your problem: you forget that the pope is the pastor of the Universal Church - not the pastor of the USA.

Funny - his view is not USA-centric!

He doesn't live in the real world, he lives in fantasyland. Where everything is peace and love and understanding and everyone wears flowers in their hair and any conflict can be resolved if we would just sit down and talk about it. (Funny how that doesn't work with dictators like Saddam). Based on his rhetoric, he sounds more like a hippy than a minister. Or maybe he watches Star Trek too much.

I agree, he's Euro-socialist-centric.
