the Roman Catholic Church will become, inevitably, as this century wears on, the LEADING OPPONENT OF NOT ONLY AMERICAN GEO-POLITICAL INTERESTS--because they are MARRIED to an unjust, radical capitalist "world order"--but also to the pagan, nihilist culture (Protestant Christianity "gone"--inevitably--"bad")of America.

Wow. This is something I really have to think about. But I suspect that as African and Latin American nations are allowed to have more of a voice in the Vatican, that your prediction will hold true. Many are already saying that the next pope will have to be from the southern hemisphere. Even if I disagree with the conservative theology coming from that portion of the globe, I welcome the geopolitical changes that will come when that happens.
