Pope Benedict bewails modern godless societies

As a Muslim, I concur, when societies lose virtue and devotion to God then civilization ends up with a whole lot of problems. As a conservative, I concur, because when people rebel against tradition they open Pandora’s box. Here are the comments:
Benedict warned that “nations once rich in faith and vocations are losing their own identity under the harmful and destructive influence of a certain modern culture.
“There are those that, having decided that ‘God is dead,’ declare themselves ‘god,’ believing themselves to be the only creator of their own fate, the absolute owner of the world,” the German-born pope said.
“When men proclaim themselves absolute owners of themselves and the only masters of creation, are they really going to be able to construct a society where freedom, justice and peace reign?
“Is it not more likely — as demonstrated by news headlines every day — that the arbitrary rule of power, selfish interests, injustice and exploitation, and violence in all its forms, will extend their grip?”
