Millions of folks are baffled by this remark from Pope Benedict.
The New World Order just got a huge boost.

The Catholic Church was established by the Roman Government.
This is no surprise.
Bingo.

Remember, the Pope is the shepherd for millions of poor Africans, Indians, Latin Americans and Philipinos--not just rich Americans." Then he would do well to tell these people to follow America's example of individual liberty, hard work, and free-market capitalism...not condemn them to perpetual poverty through outdated, collectivist fallacies.

I’m sure there is a whole raft of really loud Preachers shaking the rooftops in churches and on youtube at the moment.
This being an encyclical, it is supposed to carry more weight isn’t it?

Remember, the Pope is the shepherd for millions of poor Africans, Indians, Latin Americans and Philipinos--not just rich Americans. And what about those who don't wanted to be hereded like sheep by a shepherd -- Pope or otherwise?

I know it was a long time ago, but didn’t Charles V teach the Vatican to keep its nose out of this sort of thing?

The Church condemned communism numerous times. That is just throwing around terms.

This is disappointing to say the least, I had thought he was a Traditionalist, this borders on Liberation Theology and I never thought I’d hear that from this Pope.

there is an urgent need of a true world political authority" whose task would be "to manage the global economy
In former times this was otherwise known as "The Catholic Church" and he wants that role back.

What in the hell??? The Pope is helping to reign in globalization in a political leader? This is freaky.

Forced giving via socialism IS EVIL AND IMMORAL TO THE CORE!
GOD ALMIGHTY doesn’t even force us to give against our will.

"Who here has actually read the Pope’s encyclical, and not just what Reuters says the Pope said? Anyone? Anyone?I haven't. But if you do and get a different read on it, please share it.
I am not a Roman Catholic so there is nothing for me to defend, but I am completely aware that the media spin on things can often reach orbital proportions -- and for the sake of the world's Roman Catholics, I do hope that it is just media spin and that the Pope didn't say or mean what we are hearing here.

One of the reasons that I am a fallen away RC.
Never was and will never be. If every one would read about the history of the catholic church they would get a rude awakening.

I’m dismayed that the Pope seems to believe in enslaving the masses to an anti-Christian, socialist global elite.
No way in hell I’d ever go along with something like this.
Prediction: The left will exploit this to push their agenda while ignoring other parts of the encyclical pertaining to moral issues.
To: randomhero97
If anyone read the unfiltered-through-Protestant-hands history of the Catholic Church, they’d be Catholic.
