No, Benny, that doesn't help

The words of a Vatican spokesman:
The time has come to conceive of institutions with universal competence (src, via)
But how times have changed! It used to be the case that a Vatican spokesman would have coughed politely after uttering that sentence.

So anyway, now there are going to be thousands of North American dispensationalists rushing to their Scofields, muttering darkly about the Antichrist setting up a world government. Could the Vatican possibly play more truly to the most nutty expectations of premillennial dispensationalists?

Because if you decide that an institution ought to be universally competent, it will be universally competent! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, given that they think merely wishing themselves to be infallible makes it so.
