Not about the poor He didn’t. I said poverty and injustice.

“Suggesting a one world government for the world’s economy would be very dangerous.”

That is not what Pope Benedict suggested.

“As it is now, with many different economies and governments, as one leader starts to falter another one takes the lead.”

True. And how well is that serving the poor by the way? How harshl do you think Jesus will judge this rich world for having so many poor and hungry people? I’m just asking.

The Costa Rican President just gave a speech where he said it is time to quit blaming others for the failures of third world countries. He said South America had universities before North America. He said they were once ahead of Mexico, South Korea,and China economically. He said they are so concerned about "isms"; is it better to have capitalism, socialism, communism, etc.

What they need to do is start educating their people, building their infrastructure, clean up their own governments and quit complaining that the United States has more than they do. In 1750 the USA was just as poor as they were.

Vlad, the pope specifically states that there is “urgent need of a true world political authority” and “Furthermore, such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights[148]. Obviously it would have to have the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties, and also with the coordinated measures adopted in various international forums.”

Vlad, you need to read better. You papal apologists really ought to be able do better.

See post #143 for the Vatican link on the pope's words.
