Pope Warns of Evils of Freedom, and Happiness

written 21 Apr 2008 in the earliest morning

I heard the Pope mention today, in this NPR segment, the following:

It means overcoming the … separation between faith and life, and countering false gospels of freedom and happiness.

The omitted part in the ellipsis is simply because I can’t understand him, I believe he either says “even” or “evil”. As a person who finds religion disillusioning and Catholicism particularly evil and heretical, I certainly can agree that the Church is not interested in humans finding either freedom or happiness.

  • I think the emphasis there is on false gospels of freedom and happiness… I don’t think that includes bicycles or cake.

  • So you’re saying that it isn’t freedom and happiness which are false, but that some gospels, like Muslims or gay babies, are false?

  • So you’re saying you find Muslims rideable and gay babies tasty?
