The Pontiff, said that globalisation is not a bad thing in itself. Infact globalisation is good. Good to the extent to which all mankind have a stake in it.With each unit not shedding its unique, if sometimes, peculiar skin, as it were.

Globalisation is bad if the world is " a sphere in which each part is equidistant to the centre." Amidst cheers from more that 50,000 people he said: " But if all units in the sphere have equal stake, not of necessity required to fit into the agenda of the centre, then globalisation is a good thing"
He quoted lincoln that all men are created equal. It is understandable that the Pope, himself a direct witness to what globalisation can do to the Third World, urges the West to respect the diversity that makes the world tick. But he stressed that people should get over their inferiority complex .That the message is far from ecclesiastical is testament to the power that a "poor" Pope has in a polarised world in which self loathing has made The Third World mere puppets in Global affairs. Almost a century after independence for some.
Beyond maths though, the Pope's message is only useful if citizens of those nations take their fates in their hands.The should be free, without pressure of any kind to choose their leaders. In fact, Globalisation should let nations decide how they'd be governed.
India and Israel have each shown what a nation can do when it decides its own destiiny.Both countries can't be ignored in global affairs.
Sadly enough, the whole of Africa is a burden on the West, hence it swallows all nostrums prescribed for it.
There are only two Worlds today.Rich. Nations and the Poor Nations.Africa leads the pack of the later.
