An earlier Pope has a quote in the list ref’d in my tagline:

Of course the . . . ‘rabid cliques’ hereon rationalize all such away quite conveniently.
Doesn’t wash for the rest of us.
I don’t see any encyclical there..I saw a bunch of conspiracy theories there.
Quix..you need to read more than conspiracy theories, a few headlines and misquotes. The encyclical I think you are referring to is Caritas in Veritate. Pope Benedict is giving a warning here throughout his encyclical. Will this new world order OPEN THE DOORS TO CHRIST or CLOSE THEM. Humanity is at a crossroad. He makes CLEAR distinction between unification of humanity and that of a “family of peoples” based on Christian ideal of charity lived in truth.
Simple unification is not enough. He is saying it could be a good movement if it echoes the mind of Christ expressed in the Gospels and Christ’s teachings. Pope Benedict clearly sees the one that is emerging is very evil. I hope this helps.
