Pope Benedict: Stop disintegration of the family in Europe

(Reuters Life!) - Pope Benedict warned on Sunday that the traditional family in Europe was disintegrating under the weight of secularization and called for laws to help couples cope with the costs of having and educating children.
On the second day of his trip to Croatia, a bastion of Roman Catholicism in the Balkans, the pope said an open-air mass for hundreds of thousands of people and hammered home one of the major themes of his papacy.
"Unfortunately, we are forced to acknowledge the spread of a secularization which leads to the exclusion of God from life and the increasing disintegration of the family, especially in Europe," he said in his sermon on the edge of the capital.
The 84-year-old Benedict's sermon was the latest in a series of salvos against what the Church sees as growing anti-Catholicism and "Christianophobia" in Europe. the rest

With one hand, Benedict XVI defends the family and with the other, he and his predecessor, John Paul II, have promoted and honored Bishops and Cardinals who allowed and covered up for pedophiles and refuses to discipline his church.
The John Jay Study of 2011 is the third Truce that the See of Rome has enacted that has allowed rebellion and sexual sin to remain festering in seminaries, convents, monasteries and parsonages, confessionals, if not in pulpits.
The first Truce occurred in 1968, the second in 2005, and now, again, homosexual identity, attraction and activity are winked at and are being tolerated, if not excused and exempted from Scripture's confines.
Neither the Pope nor the Magisterium will act against the 'gay' cult that has infiltrated the clergy of Rome.
Like the Anglican Church, the Roman Church looks good on paper, but in practice, it stinks just as badly.
