Some in the media are calling it just a statement about "economic justice." But Pope Benedict XVI's "Charity in Truth" statement, also known as an encyclical, is a radical document that puts the Roman Catholic Church firmly on the side of an emerging world government.
In explicit and direct language, the Pope calls for a "true world political authority" to manage the affairs of the world. At the same time, however, the Pope also warns that such an international order could "produce a dangerous universal power of a tyrannical nature" and must be guarded against somehow.
The New York Times got it right this time, noting the Pope's call for a world political authority amounted to endorsement of a New World Economic Order, a long-time goal of the old Soviet-sponsored international communist movement. Bloomberg.com highlighted the Pope's call for a new world order with "teeth."
The Pope's shocking endorsement of a "World Political Authority," which has prophetic implications for some Christians who fear that a global dictatorship will take power in the "last days" of man's reign on earth, comes shortly after the United Nations Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis issued a call for global taxes and more powerful global institutions. U.N. General Assembly President, Miguel D'Escoto, a Communist Catholic Priest, gave a speech at the event calling on the nations of the world to revere "Mother Earth" but concluded with words from the Pope blessing the conference participants.
The controversial Papal statement comes just before a meeting of the G-8 nations and a scheduled meeting between the Pope and President Obama at the Vatican on July 10.
Sounding like Obama himself, Pope Benedict says this new international order can be accomplished through "reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance

With the fall of Communism, it seems that a few in the Vatican have forgotten the misery communism, socialism and totalitarianism bring. If those "isms" are bad for a specific country, they're horrible for the entire world.
Simply put, Capitalism saves lives and spreads freedom. Period.
Since when does the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, risen and glorified, soon to return — since when does that church subscribe to any idea of any emerging world government??????
I got your world government right here: God is going to set foot on this world again. Until then, any world government is rebellion against Him.
And a poor one at that.

Absolutely evil.
I lost all respect for the pope.
I guess he hated the Declaration of Independence and freedom,....... and GOD!
Oh Boy. I don’t support this at all. God help recognize the time to turn away from the church if they start pushing this nonsense.
God help *me* recognize the time to turn away from the church if they start pushing this nonsense.
*wish we had edit feature :)
AIM drank the Reuters Koolaid on this one. they ought to know better.
Gee, a guy who serves as the supreme spiritual authority for all Catholics worldwide thinks secular power should similarly be vested in a single, supreme, world-wide bureaucracy? How astonishing!
I agree with the Pope. I think he should be a leading figure in pushing to reform the corrupt financial institutions and leading an effort against economic globalization, that would be the Christian position. Reforms of the UN sound good to, like abolishment.
Maybe a little of the old German leaking out of the new pope?
This is meant as — Germans, at least in my experiance, are an orderly people.
At any rate, when the pope speaks of worldly things, he speaks completely without authority. This kind of talk is waaaaay outside of his Primary MOS.
A very good article
