The Catholic Church has been “globalist” since it established itself at the heart of the Empire. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded. Keep in mind, I don’t think “globalism” in and of itself is a bad thing. I just am opposed to “global government” whether temporal OR ecclesiatical.

Amen. And anyone who reads the pope's treatise on "charity" realizes that is exactly what he's advocating.

...To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need of a true world political authority, as my predecessor Blessed John XXIII indicated some years ago. Such an authority would need to be regulated by law, to observe consistently the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, to seek to establish the common good[147], and to make a commitment to securing authentic integral human development inspired by the values of charity in truth. Furthermore, such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights[148]. Obviously it would have to have the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties, and also with the coordinated measures adopted in various international forums...

Who can read those words and not sudder?
