Hum. One world government is going to be attempted and for a period of a few years achieved.
Let me ask you something though. What would you call a group of persons who all lived in one area, owned no property or possessions among themselves, and shared everything? The people let's say sold their houses and gave to a common treasury for the common good as needed? What type of persons would do such? Could it work?
My point? Taken out of context I could cut and paste two chapters of Acts and well you know what I mean. Of course The Lord did not intend for them to form this He told them Go into all nations. For the better or worse the Pope LIKE OUR POTUS is GOD's chosen leader of the Vatican and Catholic Church just as Obama is the president of The USA. My personal feeling is He may well be the last of what was once Conservative church leadership. To The Roman Catholic Church Doctrine he is conservative in his leadership in realtion to the Roman Catholic Doctories and Dogma as near as I can tell.
I didn't read the text of what he supposedly said in it's complete entirety nor more important do I know to WHOM it was addressed to and for what reason.
Only when they put Christ first 24/7/365
vs themselves.

.
It could only work if each and every member of the group were a true believer in Jesus Christ.
The Plymouth colony proved that in spades, when it quickly failed for them, even though the great majority of them were true believers, the handful of tares doomed the effort.
II Thes 3:
[7] For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
[8] Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
[9] Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
[10] For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
[11] For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
