But the pope urges a single, governing authority to impose its will globally in social, economic, legal and political matters.

Is that loving? Or is that controlling? Would any of our Founding Fathers agree with him?

The United States does not report to the Vatican, nor is the majority of America Catholic - so any political views he might or might not have are irrelevant to me.

I am however interested in his views on the church, doctrine - and his series on caritas which means "love."

The Pope urges no such thing at all.

Good grief, are we reading the same text?
