"...a true world political authority...Such an authority would need to be regulated by law [which it would make], to observe consistently the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity [sole powers are not known for sharing their power with underlings], to seek to establish the common good[BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!], 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[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. Without this, despite the great progress accomplished in various sectors, international law would risk being conditioned by the balance of power among the strongest nations.
If that is not effectively one world government, how would YOU define the term?
He is talking about the perfect government.
One that does not exist.
It seems clear to me that he is actually subtley making the point that such a global government is nigh impossible to achieve.
And in this way he is highlighting the glory of the Kingdom of God, which is not of this earth.

Please read the truth before you jump all over the Catholic Church.
You both always come out against the media when the spin left on politics — so why do you believe the media when they spin left on the Catholic Church?
