The pope-- Benedict XVI-- has urged Catholic children to find happiness in God rather than model themselves on sport or entertainment stars. Benedict XV1 does go on with his lambasting of atheist extremism and aggressive secularism, ruing the damage the exclusion of God had done to public life in the last century, and that atheists and multiculturalists (for heavens sake) threaten the national celebration of Christmas.

My reaction is that he pope- is an anachronistic curiosity. His church is one that covers up sex abuse scandals, whose teachings on contraception, remarriage and homosexuality are ignored, and who claims that religion must be the moral basis for everything.
