Pope says Europe needs to rediscover God

During his general audience, Benedict XVI said that his recent trip to Czech Republic was both a pilgrimage and a mission.

Benedict XVI
It was a mission because, at the present time, Europe needs to rediscover the joy and hope that come from following the Lord Jesus.

He went on to thank the Czech president and other civil and ecclesiastical leaders he met while on his trip.

Benedict XVI
I was glad to have the opportunity to meet leaders of other Christian communities and to encourage them in the task of ecumenical dialogue.

The popes trip to the Czech Republic is the thirteenth of his papacy. His next will be to Malta in April of 2010.

If you are a GENUINE Protestant and not just an 'IGNORANT TROUBLE-MAKER' you should be ASHAMED of your comments here.......I too am a Protestant but I know that Joseph Ratzinger is a very good man and a true Christian. Stop being horrible.
