What were his awesome words? He said that the quest of the United States for freedom was linked to a moral order based on the domination of God, the Creator.
This God of his condones slavery. This church of his supported slavery for centuries. Yet world leaders listen and laud him, and the world’s media report his words about a moral order without comment. And the moral philosophers in universities throughout the world respond with – silence.
Pope Benedict XVl, originally Joseph Ratzinger, was head of the Doctrine of the Faith department of the Roman Catholic Church for over 20 years.

Post a Comment
We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
