Is that really what he said or is it Nick Squire’s spin on it?

Spin. The Pope actually only said common sense things such as "An objective shared by all, an indispensable condition for peace, is that of overseeing the earth's natural resources with justice and wisdom".

What sane person would disagree with that?

I'm all for not grossly wasting the resources that we've identified and started exploiting, but when someone starts talking about justice in relation to someone else's resources, it typically means the next idea will be a calling to give said resources to others who had no part of discovering and exploiting said resources.

Perhaps I'm just being picky here.
