The realization of such a "moral and ethical" one-world religion or system of governance by means of our own human powers would be impossible. We are made in the image of God, to be moral actors in this world, to cooperate in His Law. We have reason and free will; but these gifts of God are never sufficient to establish a global moral and ethical order, either religious or secular.
But if we bear witness unto the Lord, and do His Will above all loving Him wholly, heart, mind, and soul then He can work in and through us. We can start; but only He can "finish" what we start, if we begin in Love and Truth.
However, Scripture appears to emphatically insist
that all such starts, this side of Armageddon will fail 100% utterly.
And only Christ leading HIS BODY post Armageddon will achieve such a thing.
We CAN help add to the members of His Body such as will be saved by our right living and sharing His Love and Gospel.
That has little to nothing to do in the remotest sense with any sort of globalism beyond the fact that Christ’s Body is made up of believers from all over the globe.
And He has already declared how it will ultimately be, the new heaven and new earth:
God's Name is I AM!
We need to trust that God will show us who REALLY desires that drink of water and won’t spill it all over the floor.

QUITE SO.
However, the good Pope seems to be calling for something . . . pleading for something . . . and that something
seems more or less clearly to be . . . human agencies collaborating together toward a more sanitized globalism.
It won’t happen, this side of Armageddon. He should know that.
Is he advertising for God to come and fix globalism?
He should know that’s scheduled after Armageddon.
imho, He should NOT trigger false hopes in anyone about the redeemability of the state of globalism prior to Armageddon.
