His surprise:

The Holy Father devoted more attention [than to
U.S. actions in the Middle East, about which he was “clearly distressed] to his own proposal for a “global compact on education”—an initiative that will be launched at a “worldwide event” on May 14. The Pontiff described this effort as a bid “to rekindle our commitment to and with young people,” to provide for “a process of education and the creation of an educational village capable of forming a network of open and human relationships.”

Something for the United Nations, maybe. Equally vaporous.

There he goes again, working to make the Church one big one-world social services provider — with a dollop of Catholicity, not enough to offend anybody.
