Dear Livius, you’ve really muddied the waters. Poe White Trash and Q. were convinced that those who see the mistranslation do so only because they want to gussy up and defend the encyclical.

Methinks someone’s MIND READER
needs to go in for a very serious overhaul. Actually, a replacement is probably called for.
Folks defend the encyclical for a list of reasons. I believe only God knows their hearts on such scores.
Sorry, but what I wrote was based on what you and Poe wrote. I’m tired of this mind-reader accusation. Take responsibility for what you write. You accused the pope of favoring one-world government, world-empire etc. and then you explain those who insist that’s not what the pope did of covering up for him, of denying the (to you) obvious import of the document.
Why can’t you simply recognize that you read the encyclical differently? Why must you attribute bad faith to those who think the encyclical does not advocate one-world government in the sense that you think it does?
