Pope Benedict was preaching in Sydney, Australia, criticizing our decadent modern culture. And to some extent he is right. Of course, one doesn't need to be a pope to realize a lot of things in our society are wrong, from the promotion of sex and violence to the use of drug and alcohol, as well as the destruction of our environments. Anyone with enough common sense knows that.

The problem however is that we know what's going on in his mind. It's not just about the abuses, it's not just the excess of sex and violence, it's them as they are. He and his devote followers wish there was none of this left and we would just just get entertained with the word of God and other merry religious crap. Which—still with enough common sense—is something no one wants.

Among other things, he said:

"I ask myself, could anyone standing face to face with people who actually do suffer violence and sexual exploitation explain that these tragedies, portrayed in virtual form, are considered merely entertainment?"

Well... righto, what's your point Benedicto ? You mean it's like religion, trying to lecture people while it's responsible for so many wars, so many atrocities in human history—some of the worst—that still go on today with those pedophilic priests ? Might be wise to consider suppressing religion first then, it could hinder global violence and outrageous and repugnant sexual deviancies.
