Marcelo Ebrard, the Mayor of Mexcio City, who signed into effect the law that kicked off this latest controversy, has a bit of advice for the Pope: “I would simply and very frankly add that we are in the 21st century, and not the 16th century.”
For a former member of Hitler Youth, it should not be difficult for Pope Benedict XVI to understand that as times change, so also changes what is and is not moral; what is and is not socially acceptable… Without caution, he may inflict a wound on the ancient Church that may never be mended. In light of what’s at stake, a debate of whether Hell is or is not a real place seems to be merely semantics.
