20050421 benedictxviw90 The West Risks the Possibility of a New Dark AgeIt is intereresting to read the new pope’s ministry and mission, “Benedict XVI has long been concerned that the West risks the possibility of a new Dark Age,” according to George Weigel, who also has an interesting piece on the real Benedict, who “has a nicely self-deprecating and intellectually fine-edged sense of humor.”

Isn’t it amazing how this unfailable voice of God comes up with causal relationships between
The Third Reich – moral relativism
The Dark Ages – paganism
It’d be hilarious, if people just weren’t so utterly fucking stupid.

Basically what he’s saying, is that “we know we can trust the value of Christian values, because they’ve worked all this time”, when in fact they led to hundreds of years of dogmatism and ignorance in the Middle Ages and are currently used to ease justifying just about anything in American politics.
