#1 If the Pope is referring to Catholics or, say, the Anglican communion there are indeed international communities.

If the Pope is referring to nation states - as he seems to be - there is no international community, only national or state interests.

#3 The Pope controls the decision-making in the Roman Catholic Church -- perhaps he'd like to yield that to "collective action" too.
