1. regulated by law: i.e. based upon a written charter specifying and limiting its power;You would also have read his clear statement that "the Church does not have technical solutions to offer, and does not claim 'to interfere in any way in the politics of States.'", but instead has "a mission of truth to accomplish, in every time and circumstance, for a society that is attuned to man, to his dignity, to his vocation." From this it is clear that Caritas is not advocating the establishment of a global superstate (ruled by UFO aliens or otherwise), but instead a cooperative international legal approach (such as a treaty) to regulating global development and finance to prevent the exploitation and misery of the kind that has resulted from the recent economic crisis.2. [founded upon] principles of subsidiarity and solidarity: a "bottom-up" federation of sovereign powers [Ubi societas, ibi ius, "every society draws up its own system of justice"], not a centrally-controlled global superstate;
3. [created to ]establish "the good of... individuals, families and intermediate groups who together constitute society"; and
4. [be committed to] securing authentic integral human development, beyond mere economic and technological growth, and always inspired by the values of charity in truth.
It is important to remember that while Rome has always opposed communism, the Church is not on the side of the USA, or capitalism, or the UN, or the EU, or European people, or any other group. The Church is on the side of the human race, and it is the duty of the pope to represent the species as a whole, Catholic or not, and especially the least among us. I applaud Pope Benedict XVI for doing just that.
You are WRONG.
I read all that.
It just was obliterated by his other statements and by the
HARD REALITIES
OF THE SATANIC GLOBAL GOVERNMENT ALREADY FIRMLY ENTRENCHED AND TO REMAIN SO UNTIL CHRIST OBLITERATES IT AT ARMAGEDDON.
NO ONE that I have read from your side has YET
to deal with those issues and facts remotely realistically in ANY of the threads and discussions of this encyclical.
NO ONE.
PING TO THE JUST ABOVE REPEATED BELOW:
ALL HIS WONDEROUSLY IDYLLIC STATEMENTS ARE WHOLESALE MEANINGLESS in the face of the global government already in power. And to write that SUCH A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT IS NEEDED only strengthens their hands with the 1.+ billion RC’s.
Hideous.
You are WRONG.
I read all that.

it's as though . . . [fiction for illustration folks]
BENEBONKER is a recreaional axe murderer.
He has written a new MANIFESTO FOR RECREATIONAL AXE MURDERERS.
It is mostly page after page extolling the blessings of society being free, by his recreational pursuits, of drug dealers, rapists, super corrupt bureaucrats and politicians, gang bangers, satanic abuse torturers of children etc.
He waxes very poetic about how the children of such creatures have been spared following in their parents' footsteps because BENEBONKER stepped up to the plate and for kicks offed their parents head(s) with his trusty axe.
There's a touching vignette about Merry Mary who gets to go to Parochial school and eventually becomes a Dr serving the Watootsies in Africa . . . instead of growing up drug addicted, stealing, stabbing family members and costing us care in prison, had her daddy not been offed by BENEBANGER'S trusty axe.
And there's the story of Peripatetic Peter who was spared a life of crime and attened a Parochial school eventually graduating as a top flight geologist and hydrologist now diggine wells for dozens of poor tribes in Africa, SE Asia and South America . . . vs becoming a gang rapist and drug dealer had his daddy lived vs being offed by BENEBONKER'S trusty axe.
And, of course, there's the 100's of children of such horrific parents who are now learning to love and be loved instead of learning to rape and be raped.
It's all quite touching.
Of course, there is this one paragraph wherein BENEBANGER really gets going on how much fun the blood and gore of a well described axe murder is. But folks don't need to pay attention to that.
There's lots of wonderful discussion in page after page of the great lives children are now having BECAUSE of those wonderful axe murders. So, please ignore the gory paragraph. Just keep in mind all the children who've been saved--saved to lives full of TRUTH IN LOVE AND TAUGHT THE EVERLASTING WONDERS OF SUBSIDIARITY and INTEGRAL MUTUAL BENEVOLENCE etc. etc. etc.
All due to the thoughtful recreational axe murdering of His Unholiness--BENEBONKER.

Geepers, I always thought that the Church was on the side of God. Since when has the Church become a species of humanism?
