More wisdom from Pope Benedict XVI

 
 
 

True justice, just justice, can come into existence only when the true God is recognized aright, so that man, too, recognizes himself aright and orders his existence in a life with others on the basis of God.

—Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

from his book, The True Europe: Its Identity and Mission

A PAPAL PLEA

Here is Benedict XVI’s last and heartfelt call for Europe to rediscover and reaffirm its true origin and identity that have made it great and a model of beauty and humanity. It is not about imposing the truths of faith as the foundation of Europe, but about making a thorough choice, recognizing that it is more natural and just to live “as if God existed” than “as if there were no God.”
