The Vatican Calls for World Government + Comment now "That isn’t just the implication it’s the explicit call in the latest from the Vatican: that we need to move to a system of world government: If Vatican cardinals have yet to join the Occupy Wall Street protesters, a document released by the Holy See calling for a “world authority” to crack down on capitalism suggests some are considering it. Alphaville has a bit of fun quoting scripture back at them here. The full (although preliminary translation) statement is here. As someone educated and raised a Catholic I can tell you what the problem is here. It’s the otherworldly parts of the Vatican’s worldview. In an institution which is based upon preparing us for the life after this one that’s no bad thing of course, and continual reminder that we should raise our eyes from the mundane cares of this world and consider our place in the eternity to come. However, it does in fact lead to a certain naivety about what actually happens in this world. The idea is that we ought to move to something like a beefed up United Nations. A supra-national body capable of:"
The United Nations has, recently you understand, had the Sudan as a member of the Human Rights Committee, heck it’s even had Libya as the Chair of the Committee (yes, the Ghadaffi era Libya). And that’s what the problem is. Not the desire to make the world a better place, but the idea that politics is going to do so.

The pope would be better off re-reading his books instead
of dabbling in politics.

Well ... not really surprising considering they they used to be the World government.........
Actually they are the perfect example of why we should avoid a one World government like the plague. Even the most holy an pure theocratic World government led only to corruption, abuse, horrible crimes against humanity, war, infighting and greed.
