“Why don’t you educate yourself about what he’s infallible about?”

I was being silly. I still think it’s an anti-globalization rant.

The west has a lot more to offer the 3rd world than Catholicism, such as (well, at least the US) capitalism and liberty. Globalization will improve the lives of 3rd worlders, not hinder it.

Capitalism and liberty will save their souls?

Raw capitalism may result, eventually, in the improvement of the lives of the poor, but the historic costs are high. It is like economic war, and like war very hard on the troops while the generals live in chateaus. The end does not justify the means. China today is better off than it was under the centralized economy, puts the people on a diet which uses chemotherapy to kill hunger. The result is Cuba. But even Cuba, even the Soviet Union, was not as bad as Leopold’s colony in the Congo.
