“The coming of a world state is longed for by all the worst and most distorted elements. This one-world state, based on the principles of absolute equality of men and a community of possessions, would banish all national loyalties. In it no acknowledgment would be made of the authority of a father over his children, or of God over human society. If these one-world government ideas are put into practice, there will inevitably follow a reign of unheard-of terror.” (In Bonum Sane, 1920)
— Pope Benedict XV

I always wondered whether Benedict was one of the good guys or the bad guys. Now I think I know.
