Pope decries godless nature of modern societies

Pope Benedict XVI warned Sunday that modern culture is pushing God out of people's lives, causing nations once rich in religious faith to lose their identities.

Benedict celebrated a Mass in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls to open a worldwide meeting of bishops on the relevance of the Bible for contemporary Catholics.

'Today, nations once rich in faith and vocations are losing their own identity, under the harmful and destructive influence of a certain modern culture,' said Benedict, who has been pushing for religion to be given more room in society.

AMEN!

I am grateul that I know it is imporant to be holy as posible

The U.S. mass media culture of death, hollywood elitists, many or most college and universities and socialists such as obama are behind this. I got a feeling it won't EVER end until something dramatic happens.

I believe in God and eternal blessings and eternal damnation for those who are witnesses of teh death driven mindset society, found here in the U.S. and around the world.

Amen Ray! Heartbreaking to see all of the lost souls going about their daily lives with no idea or belief of what's coming when they die. Find Jesus and repent your ways while there is still time. Your life will improve 10 fold.

What about the Mercy of God, who desires none to suffer but all to come to eternal life? If you would find joy in the eternal damnation of peoples, you are no better than those you choose to persecute. God is love, and if one is loveless, they are in effect Godless, as God cannot be separated from His nature.

God has mercy only for those who follow in Christ. People may not like it, but that is the way it is.

Maybe if the Vatican were to divest itself of its vast riches and the Pope and the Cardinals were to behave more like Jesus advocated, the Pope’s words would carry more weight.

Don't be holdin' your breath for that to happen.
Them girls love their brocade dresses, pointy hats, smokin' purses, and the ain't about to give it up. The Catlick church has not been dubbed "The Whore of Rome" for nothing. Smelly, sanctimonious, moribund, cultish, creepy. All you Catlick sheeple -- finger your rosaries and f**k off back to the middle ages where you can happily pour hot lead up the poopers of those who fail to see it your way. Oh yeah, and make more of those catlicks. After all, you will soon be an endangered species. Can you say "medeival?" How come popey pops up every now and then to give everybody redundant messages. The child molesting catholic mafia needs to stay behind the walls of the vatican where they can jerk eachother off. Moldy old death cult!

Your life won't improve 10 fold, but your wallet will be lighter by that amount.

You know it is important to be a holier-than-thou pile of crap! That's right -- you're the repository of Christ's love as you consign most of the human race to your fiery pit. Thanks, but you can shove your miserable religion -- truly a death -- cult, up your a**. The only thing your priests do that is "eternal" is to give lots of little boys eternally sore a**holes.

Not likely! They like being rich queens with unlimited access to little boys' butts! They like to cover for one another too! Beautiful religion!

Yeah. Read about the inquisition if you want to get a real feel for what these monsters would love to do to the non-believers. The misery and agony they have inflicted on the planet would make any sane person weep from now until "doomsday." Play with your rosary beads as the world suffers. But don't part with any of those gajillions of dollars stashed away in the vatican. Christ would have puked his guts out.

The only room cultish devotion to an invisible old White man deserves in modern society is a small cell in a prison for molesters and swindlers.

Let the creepy old Pope gibber and drool, the days of gullible public idiocy and lots of clueless, stupid sheep trotting off on crusades for the Holy relics is long gone, more so since religion was put in it's place after the French Revolution.

And that goes for ALL religion that attempts to force itself on Humanity.
