My take... the Pope has bitten off more than the church should be chewing here.
Christ didn’t come to advise the unbelieving world how to make itself a nicer place.
That was a confusion that came when the early church got Rome offered to it on a silver platter. A rationalization or two later, and the church took up this task that was impossible by definition. It has never been quite the same, as the memes that resulted propagated throughout all Christendom.
I could well see advice such as “If you are a Christian banker, these are good rules for conducting your business.” But that is NOT what the Pope has done.
I say he has bitten off more than he can, or the church should, chew.
The Catholic Church is forever biting off more than it can chew because it tries to instruct the faithful how to behave yet it does not embody the Spirit of God.
