Do not oust god from public life

Pope Benedict XVI. has been of service to the victims of the attacks of 11. Remembering the events of September 2001 and calling for the peaceful coexistence of peoples. Solidarity, justice and peace must take the place of hatred, Benedict XVI demanded. after a big mass with about 100.000 participants at the end of the National Eucharistic Congress in Ancona.

"I appeal to the leaders of nations and to all people of good will to always reject violence as a solution to problems and to resist the temptation of hatred," the pope said. During his one-day visit, the Holy Father also stressed the indissolubility of marriage and warned against trivializing sexuality. The indissolubility of marriage should not be understood primarily as a restriction. The Pope stressed that the family should rather be understood as a gift that "must be desired, aspired to and lived beyond all the vicissitudes of human situations".

In today's society, there seems to be a "glorification of the body," but in fact it leads to a trivialization of sexuality. Marriage is threatened by moral relativism, he said. The consonance of feelings and sensations seems more important to many today than a long-term common life project.

Family an "irreplaceable good"
Benedict XVI. further stressed that the family is the "indispensable foundation of society and a vital community for the journey of the Church".

Certain ideologies have pushed God aside, or at best tolerated him as a private matter, and organized society solely along the lines of power and economics. However, history has shown in a "dramatic way" how the goal of guaranteeing development, material well-being and peace for all in such a way has failed.
