dude the catholic church has always been EXTREMELY political. world history will prove that. hell, the pope even turned a blind eye towards the Nazis due to the politics that they were in. the pope doesn't do what he does in hopes for re-election. he takes his actions and makes his stances with an overall goal of maintaining the catholic church's strong influence.
