[Antoninus]

Do you agree with Christ's desire that "all may be one"?

Just as Christ was speaking in ideals, so is this Pope. Our problem is that we're so beset by enemies and corruption, that we can't envision a world existing otherwise. The Pope is pronouncing just such a vision. He's calling for reform of international political organizations--note the repeated use of the word "true" and "truth". If you read the entire encyclical, you'd know why those words are there.

Recall, the Holy Father is not just the shepherd of rich Americans and Europeans, but also of poor Africans, Indians, Thais, Philipinos, and Latin Americans. His care is for them before it is for us.

[PetroniusMaximus]

“Do you agree with Christ’s desire that “all may be one”?”

This is not the Pope’s vision for the Church... it’s his vision for the world.

Christ did not have a vision for the political world. He didn’t have a dog in that fight. The NT is clear that the “world” is owned by the Devil and he can give it to whoever he will. Has that changed since the first century?

Has the Pope forgotten that the world belongs to the Devil?

Has the Pope forgotten that those outside of Christ can not please God no matter how they strive for the “common good”?
