I’m not even Catholic but I’ve known this to be true for a very long time.
Whenever the Church speaks to the issue of economics, it’s always a bit to the left of Karl Marx, and that’s been true as far back as I can remember.
“world political authority” to manage the global economy and for more government regulation of national economies...”
So the Pope is on the same page as Obama, the 69.5 million fools who voted for Obama, Karl Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler. One world government directed by the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Many Catholics are democrats and vote that way. It was apparent in this past year’s election of Obambi. They and other Christians who are not Catholic voted their party instead of their moral values.
