pope

So I was watching Pope Benedict XVI's arrival in the States yesterday. I'm no Catholic, but I was really impressed by not only his following and massive crowds of fans, but the messages he preaches.  It's refreshing to hear someone talk about the obvious moral shortcomings of this country, and that the fault lies not with our government, but ourselves. 

In the Italian town of Loreto, the Catholic Church recently hosted Save Creation Day, a youth festival attended by 300,000 people. The pope himself gave Mass, wearing green and delivering a homily urging everyone to take care of our planet. In particular he highlighted the necessity of sharing water sources in an "equitable and peaceful" manner.
