— Matteo Gorgoni writes on the Democracy Without Borders website that the October encyclical Fratelli Tutti from Roman Catholic Pope Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) calls for “a new global political order…based on the principles of subsidiarity, rule of law and a renewed trust in international cooperation.” In the Pope’s “envisioned model of global governance, every country is respected in its core sovereignty and no powers can be concentrated into the hand of a few member-states…. An alternative political economic model will therefore be needed and combined to the new institutionalized world order, a model which will not be rooted on the dominant paradigm of an unfettered market freedom and irresponsible capitalism as we practice it today. Although it is not mentioned in pope Francis’ encyclical, the notion of global democracy is nonetheless conceptually implied.”
