OR for 12/22-12/23/08:
Addressing the Roman Curia, the Pope advocates a 'human ecology'
that does not contradict freedom but is a condition for it:
'Listening to the language of creation saves man from self-destruction'
Other Page 1 stories: An editorial on the Pope's Curia speech; a story on the Pope's Sunday Angelus
homily in which he reflects on how astronomy and science help man to realize the greatness of God; and
in secular news, the IMF says governments need better plans to deal with the worldwide financial crisis;
and Israel alerts the United Nations it will move against Hamas for its rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.
No scheduled events for the Holy Father today.
In the Italian MSM, everyone reported the Pope's Sunday Angelus homily yesterday, but only because
he mentioned Galileo. And while they could not claim that the homily was anti-science in any way -
it was in praise of science and scientists, in fact - they had occasion for their habitual muckraking
against the Church for subjecting Galileo to the Inquisition.....And today, everyone predictably headlined
their story about the address to the Roman Curia as a variant of 'Pope slams homosexuals and trans-sexuals'.
