>> “The Church has a much different understanding of EVERYTHING than the secular worlds.”
OK. But, unless the Pope means (in this encyclical) that the posited “World Authority” will be under his authority, it will be “secular,” and have a “secular” world view.
Can you think of ANY reason that any “World Authority” would follow any moral or religious principle?
For instance, Obama’s administration is, in theory, required to follow the US Constitution, but they ignore it unless it happens to suit their current whim.

INDEED!
