I wanted to look on Zenit last night, but it was getting too late. Good find!
To believe that any man or human run organization could 'balance out' the wealth ......
Weird, it is like the Pope is setting the stage for the Anti-Christ.
I'll leave the topic now before y'all start accusing me of losing the tin foil hat .... but still for any edumahcated man to have any trust in a international organization ...........
I’m up to page 21. James is thrilled with all the backs of the pages to color. So far, I have failed to be outraged by any of the content, although I occasionally think, “Well, I’m not quite sure about that ...”
Cant; understand what the pope is saying without going by and reading Rerum Novarum by Leo XIII.
"In the face of the unrelenting growth of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need, even in the midst of a global recession, for a reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth. "
That doesn't need to be spun.
"there is urgent need of a true world political authority, as my predecessor Blessed John XXIII indicated some years ago. Such an authority would need to be regulated by law, to observe consistently the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, to seek to establish the common good, and to make a commitment to securing authentic integral human development inspired by the values of charity in truth. 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. 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."
There's no spinning this: He favors a strong UN and a one-world authority that exists for the COMMON GOOD.
Yeah, and somehow, I don’t think you read the whole thing.
To paraphrase Sarah Palin: “Why bother explaining? Your friends don’t need an explanation and your enemies won’t believe it anyway.”
