When it comes to leadership, we need to be lead by the greatest characters among us. Yet time and again we find that we are lead not by greatest characters, but by the least admirable characters among us. And the great ones? The get killed off. So, what if a great character was to make it to the global a stage, how would the world and more importantly, those who may be threatened by such a character's appearance, react today?

Are you thinking about who should be the global authority?

Obviously, it would be a group from many different countries,
with no concentration of power for any one individual.

Realistically, great characters will attract scorn and hate as well as admiration and support, and whether or not they manage to stay out of the way of killers is something humans can't ever hope to totally control.

I think Bono is one of the great characters on the world stage, as is the Pope, both Catholics, heh...I'm sure there must be others...?

the Pope is trying to head off a coming confrontation. the world is heading to socialism/communism

and the Pope has in mind the prophetic writings given to him from the Third Secret of Fatima

both issues bode ill for the Catholic Church and the Pope is working on reducing that threat.

He will be unsuccessful in his efforts and eventually the Catholic Church will be forced Underground.

The apparitions of Mary should never occlude the church or the Bible, and there is much speculation about what the third one contains...
regardless, it doesn't take away the essentials of the christian message.

"In an interview conducted in November 1984, Cardinal Ratzinger (of the Holy Office) confirmed that, with the Pope’s permission, he had read the Secret and that it concerns, in his words, "a radical call to conversion, the absolute gravity of history, the dangers threatening the Faith and the life of a Christian, and therefore the world. And also the importance of the last times." The Cardinal went on to explain that "if it is not published ... it is to avoid confusing religious prophecy with sensationalism. But the things contained in the Third Secret correspond to what has been announced in Scripture and are confirmed by many other Marian apparitions."

Original Message "The world situation requires the concerted effort of everyone, a thorough examination of every facet of the problem – social, economic, cultural and spiritual. The Church, which has long experience in human affairs and has no desire to be involved in the political activities of any nation, ‘seeks but one goal: to carry forward the work of Christ under the lead of the befriending Spirit. And Christ entered this world to give witness to the truth; to save, not to judge; to serve, not to be served.’
With these words, in the prophetic and always relevant Encyclical Populorum Progressio of 1967, Paul VI outlined in a clear way “the trajectories” of the Church’s close relation with the world. These trajectories intersect in the profound value of human dignity and the quest for the common good, which make people responsible and free to act according to their highest aspirations."
