He is not arguing for "global control!" He is arguing for the Christian Spirit as having a fruitful role to play in the working out of human society.
If that were all he was arguing for, no Christian should have a problem with it.
But the pope has gone far beyond this "Christian spirit."
What is this global authority with the power of enforcement? Specifically.
I think I’ll have to ponder a good long time before I can understand you writing those words.

Actually, I think he’s arguing for BOTH. What worries me is that he doesn’t notice the glaring contradictions between the two.
As for “the working out of human society,” _Caritas_ is more explicit than that. It’s more of a Development — an “integral” and “authentic” human development — towards some future Fraternity or Unity of the peoples of the earth.
What that means in terms of Christian doctrine, I haven’t the foggiest idea. That’s why I brought up Teilhard de Chardin in a previous post. Do you think that Teilhardism may in part help us understand the significance of all this jargon in _Caritas_?
