How a financial magazine rates
Benedict XVI on its power scale

The latest of those periodic 'Top 100' lists that some Western magazines put out as a guaranteed attention-getter comes
from Forbes, a US-based international financial journal.

The brief profile is of course written from the secular point of view. The Church is described as a 'multinational', and the Pope as 'unbending on reproductive matters' - as though the Pope decides what Catholic doctrine is on 'reproductive matters' or anything else!

Obviously, Christ's Vicar on earth is sui generis and should not be classified in any comparative manner with others, much less, ranked on a scale of power that is completely conceived in temporal terms.

But once a year, we must brace ourselves for these 'lists' on which the Holy Father may not even appear (consider Time's '100 most influential' in 2008) - out of curiosity and for the record, and not because it matters.

You may find the whole article and the factors by which the Forbes editors graded their choices on
