"You know Latin America is in the West right? And that Africa has a tremendous population that if ever organized, would be ajuggernaut of a political and economic force? Do I need to explain how that can affect the other Western nations?

Or are smarmy white kids who find the idea of God silly the only ones who wield power in this world?"

Yes, all of those people COULD matter to the DEVELOPED western world, but they don't. They haven't become any sort of power what-so-ever, and the only thing they are being used for at the moment is cheaper-than-slavery labour. This is the reality of the world. It would be great if Africa could mobilize and pull itself out of the Third World, but I highly doubt this will happen. Over-population and lack of resources will make this very difficult.

In terms of the Pope representing 1.1 Billion Catholics - who cares? Who in the developed (ie. OUR) Western world actually listens to the Pope? The Pope could come out tomorrow, and say "Sex is a sin with a man and woman, only have sex with pineapples." No one would listen. The Pope could come out and say "Don't use contraception because it's a sin." Oh wait, HE DID, and NO ONE LISTENS TO HIM! In fact something like 53% of Catholics think you can still be a good Catholic after getting an abortion! A fucking abortion! [I am pro-choice btw, just so it doesn't go down that path] Wow, looks like the Pope really doesn't wield much, if any, influence in the developed world.
