The news headline was "Pope prays for peace in Irag". I almost did not look at it because people have been praying for peace for years and never got the world peace they asked for.
But when I did look he made lots of very political statements, during the Easter message.
He advocated an ease to the violence in Irag, he advocated that nation would find ways to calm down the nuclear problems related to Iran, and he prayed that someday Palesitians would have their own state next to Isriel.
It seems most of what he prayed for is being prevented by our President.
The news stroy did not qoute him saying anything about how the resurection of Jesus on Easter could save peoples souls.

Is the new Pope more politcal then religious?
Anyway, some of you will do doubt have something debatable to say about this?
