Fleeing Boredom
"Man nurtures the suspicion that God, at the end of the day, takes something away from his life, that God is a competitor who limits our freedom and that we will be fully human only when we will have set him aside.
"There emerges in us the suspicion that the person who doesn't sin at all is basically a boring person, that something is lacking in his life, the dramatic dimension of being autonomous, that the freedom to say 'no' belongs to real human beings."
That's from Pope Benedict. Some very profound insights there. I find it interesting that the pope comes off as such a stiff, archaic, irrelevant figure, but that Benedict's papers and speeches have been remarkably relevant, cutting edge, and power-packed with spiritual truth that touches reality.
Breitbart reports that "in remarks after Mass, Benedict urged people to 'overcome the temptation of a mediocre life, made of compromises with evil.'"
