Cardinal Ratzinger On Europe's Crisis of Culture (Part 1) The "God"less Society
Cardinal Ratzinger On Europe's Crisis of Culture (Part 2) - "Dogmatism"
I agree with the Pope wholeheartedly.
It is interesting to see a Pope express such a defense of free speech.
This is just what I predicted.
Notice how they are trying to undermine the Pope by refusing to recognize him as the Pope? Instead, they refer to him as Pope in the opening sentence and then revert back to his Cardinal name for the rest of the article.
When has the media EVER done that before?

Why does everyone refer to the Pope as "Ratzinger?" His name is now Benedict.
He is NOT playing. Love it!
Why do so many articles about the Pope continue to refer to him as "Ratzinger?"
John Paul II was always referred to as such.
The Pope hits the nail on the head!
Not a Catholic here, but I admire this old boy's spunk.
What concerns me is that if he continues with his hard line, he'll soon find himself on the wrong side of the War on Terror "global struggle against violent extremism".

Benedict is much more philisophical than was John Paul, who spoke it general terms about these matters. Benedict is a real policy wonk, but also has a firm grasp of conservative thought. I think of Pope Benedict as the Antonin Scalia of popes. He is great so far. My only concern is that he doesn't go down the road of P.C. via-a-vis Muslims as John Paul unfortunately did. The Christian world needs a pope who will take the Islamofascists head-on, and demand accountability for the mass-murder of Christians in Africa and Asia.
I just love it when spell check wants me to change his name to "Rat zinger" because he really does!
Well we certainly can't state it in the workplace. That would be gronds for dismissal in most work environments these days.
