Honesty

People in the middle east now look towards the pope for statements supporting their cause. But it has been a long time now that the church and politics have separated ways. There is nothing new he can say because the ten commandments already declares loud and clear against murder and greed. The pope can only pray for causes that touches him. That is possibly all that he has to offer but no mean thing is prayer for what is impossible to man is not impossible for god. For a real christian suffering is no big deal. The ideal is Christ and we can bear our cross alright. But it is still good to pray for lessening the suffering of people around the world. And for that you do not have to be a pope.
