While on his trip to the Czech Republic, the pope met with diplomats and the countrys highest government officials.
The meeting took place in the Prague Castle where the pope reflected on the search for liberty and truth as going hand in hand, because finding one of them means finding the other.
Benedict XVI
For Christians, truth has a name: God. And goodness has a face: Jesus Christ. The faith of Christians, from the time of Saints Cyril and Methodius and the early missionaries, has in fact played a decisive role in shaping the spiritual and cultural heritage of this country. It must do likewise in the present and into the future.
The pope encouraged them to work toward an integral human development and to foster Christian roots in Europe.
He also alluded to the slogan on the Czech presidential flag: Truth prevails.
Benedict XVI
In the end, truth does conquer, not by force, but by persuasion, by heroic witness of men and women of firm principle, by sincere dialogue which looks beyond self-interest to the demands of the common good.
With the meeting the pope hopes to strengthen the Christian identity of the old continent and of the west.

@stpaulfan Bless him? Popes are any thing but men of wisdom and integrity. They are hypocritical deceivers. Billions dance at his whim. What kind of malevolent dictator would use authority and power to control the minds of so many fellow humans by deceiving them into believing god exists without evidence and somehow is on his side and has given him special permission to speak for a fiction called god.

@BigPurple121 Indeed. Any one who is willing to follow a Pope that teaches this non-sense called faith needs serious medical attention and rehabilitation. They truly are con-artists of monumental proportions.
