In a world where killing babies is defended as "a woman's choice", in a world where killing people for food, or political reasons is okay....
In a world where malaria could be stopped dead by using DDT but environmentalists still yell about birds eggs being harmed...
In a world where we are depriving starving people of food, because we are using it to fuel our cars....
In a world where we wash our cars with fresh drinkable water that millions would love to have...
One beacon of hope shines brightly for all people. The Pope.

His message of love, sharing and hope, is not just for Catholics, it's for all people in this world of ours.
In this world where easy sex, and child porn is prevalent, where swingers clubs are just fine, and drugs are killing our children... Where morals have disappeared and the "if it feels good" crowd scorns anyone who is moral, in this world, a beacon shines, giving hope to all who are open to his message. The Pope.
So I thank Fox News,
who broadcast the whole Mass from Yankee Stadium, it is the closest thing to being there.
Yesterday, CTV news had 45 seconds on his visit and over 5 minutes from someone who had been abused, not exactly balanced. Today they at least showed his visit to ground zero.
In this world of strife, disasters and hate between groups of people, a beacon of light shines. Pope Benedict.
My husband is Presbyterian but he enjoys going to Mass, he likes the pageantry, the sense of belonging, and most important the clear rules that Catholics follow. Lately we have seen the United Church become a religion of nothing, the Anglicans are splitting up over various issues, and all religions are under pressure from the "progressives" to lighten up on their morals.
These "progressives" will be satisfied with nothing less than the destruction of religion, as it is a threat to their agenda. Socialism is not about helping all people, it's about helping yourself, making yourself elite, so you can rule over the "little" people and tell them how hard you are working on their behalf. It's a sick lie.
Catholics like Paul Martin put politics ahead of their religion, they sell out to the greater god, money and power. Thank goodness, we have one beacon in this world, who teaches, love not power, sharing not greed, and hope not hate. Will the "progressives" listen, or are their hearts hardened to the message of moral values?
