Try reading it before you go advising the Pope.
So is the Pope above criticism? Is he infallible?
I read it. I'm a practical practicing Catholic and I stand by what I stated. The above sentence is 'politic speak' exactly like what we're used to hearing in this country today.
You read it. You read it again and then it dawns on you....it makes little sense!
...there is urgent need of a true world political authority....
There's a difference between "reading" and "understanding". I did both. You should try the latter.
Actually, I’ve never seen those two posters before, but I do welcome their input. I just got pinged to this so I’ll just hang around and see what happens, LOL.
I refer you to POST 107 on another thread and various links wherein part of your pope's travesty is excerpted...
67. In the face of the unrelenting growth of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need, even in the midst of a global recession, for a reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth. One also senses the urgent need to find innovative ways of implementing the principle of the responsibility to protect[146] and of giving poorer nations an effective voice in shared decision-making. This seems necessary in order to arrive at a political, juridical and economic order which can increase and give direction to international cooperation for the development of all peoples in solidarity. 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. Without this, despite the great progress accomplished in various sectors, international law would risk being conditioned by the balance of power among the strongest nations. The integral development of peoples and international cooperation require the establishment of a greater degree of international ordering, marked by subsidiarity, for the management of globalization[149]. They also require the construction of a social order that at last conforms to the moral order, to the interconnection between moral and social spheres, and to the link between politics and the economic and civil spheres, as envisaged by the Charter of the United Nations.
How any American can read that garbage and not be repelled is unfathomable. And you can't "blame the translation" since this is the Vatican's own translation. It says what the Vatican wants it to say.
As pointed out many times, not every word in the "Communist Manifesto" or "Mein Kampf" is a lie. That's how propaganda works. But the foul lies and tyranny are there for anyone to read and understand.
I'm truly amazed at some of the Roman Catholic "conservatives" on this site who defend this pathetic treatise which moves our democracy ever closer to Orwellian oblivion. But slave owners have always shared a camaraderie with other slaves owners.
