But as we concluded in a previous thread about Catholicism, the pope has more influence over the world than the leaders of most countries, so the political opinions he holds affect more than just Catholics.

Well things you mention like "European Catholics becoming less and less religious" is something really about the religion and not the world. I would assume it would be Catholics that cared and wanted to provide direction to their own faith.
That is different from the Pope trying to break down the USSR which influenced non-Catholics.
