This document isn’t ex cathedra, so it’s not infallible. Only on matters of faith and morals.
Actually I believe that ex cathedra refers to a teaching by the pope that is considered to be made with the intention of invoking infallibility concerning faith and or morals.
From what I read it could easily be inferred that he is speaking directly morals.
Perhaps it needs to be specifically stated that a statment is ex cathedra? If so, I did not know that.
However, regardless of whether or not the statement is deemed by the Church to be infallible, it still saddens me that the Catholic Church’s head believes that secular institutions should be in charge of redistribution of wealth. He is Scripturally off base in this instance, so I pray you are correct.
So brother Benedict is now just as blogger.

Sounds like it touched on faith and morals to me: faith in the leaders of the New World Order and the new socialistic definition of "morality".
