What happens to the world is everyone's concern. Let's try and be a little more ecumenical, as the Pope himself has urged.

Considering that what the Pope does affects more people than the actions of basically any government leader -- I think we can all weigh in. And although this is a side issue, where did anyone get the idea that non-Americans don't care about American politics? There are plenty of Canadians on this board alone that disprove that theory.
