In my reply to one of the comments on my post "One World Government" I suggested that the United Nations, International Criminal Court, Organization of American States and other similar organizations have no wind in their sails. I argued that that until we have a One World Government with a President or Prime Minister and a cabinet elected by you, me and every person on earth of voting age we will not have effective organizations to govern the environment, international finance, etc.
Today I am pleased to see in the news that pope Benedict XVI has called for reform of the UN and financial bodies (see news article).
Interestingly, when I was writing my comment, I considered suggesting that the UN and organizations named above lacked teeth but chose to use the expression "lack wind in their sails" instead. I did this because I felt that giving these or any organization the teeth without giving them the power of all people behind may result in these organizations using their teeth to impose the will of a few powerful countries over others.
If anyone does think that I am arguing with or contradicting His Holiness, far from it. If one reads the enire news article especially the statement "There is urgent need of a true world political authority" you will see we are hoping and praying for the same thing.
