POPE John Paul II died worrying that the world seemed dominated by the powers of evil, according to a sermon he had prepared for the day after his death, his successor Pope Benedict said yesterday.
"To humanity, which at times seems lost and dominated by the powers of evil, by selfishness and fear, the risen Lord offers the gift of his love which forgives, reconciles and opens up the spirit to hope," the sermon said.
Pope Benedict said: "It was written he should leave us on the eve when he was to have pronounced these words."
As Christian, Evil mean everywhere neither muslim nor other religion nor christian. Didn't Judas betray Jesus! Come brother and sister in christ, let us do good deed just like mother theresa. Let us pray for the world peace. Do not think, last minute prayer can let God hear it. When danger come, we ask God for help. When peaceful come, we back-off God. That is still got time to ask forgiveness and pray for he sinner. Pls....
How sad he died just a few days after Terri Schiavo was allowed to starve to death. The Holy Father had fought against nazism and inhumanity all his life. Then one of the most horrific cases of it happened in the USA of all places, in the weeks before he died.

Welcome to the FreeRepublic.
I didn't understand Voyager's comment either.
Good question. I think the best way to answer your question is to say what "moral relativism" is not.
..and God said.....these are not Suggestions
Thanks for the welcome!!
I agree with this post on all accounts. Acting on this is formula daily is difficult work in and of itself. I also know Jesus actively named Satan when he saw him and minced no words in pointing evil out where he saw it in the world. Practicing both--a well lived life. Cheers all! May we all possess such courage and honesty daily!
Can you imagine a movie like The Ten Commandments coming out of Hollywood today!? It is impossible. Yet, I am happy to announce there are many, many logs being laid in this town to make that happen someday again. Please pray for us all. The Holy Spirit is alive and well behind the scenes in Los Angeles and this will show in time--albeit may be piecemeal and take awhile. Look at The Passion. It wasn't the linear, play every year on TV for families to watch sort of film, but it pierced the evil allusion of the industry that shut it out.
I hope you succeed. And yes, I will pray for you.
Oh right.. and half the divorced people in this country too. Adulters are just as evil as murderers.
Thank you.
