Religious Quote: Joseph Ratzinger

A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society.
Joseph Ratzinger

Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.
Joseph Ratzinger

Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.
Joseph Ratzinger

The wrath of God is a way of saying that I have been living in a way that is contrary to the love that is God. Anyone who begins to live and grow away from God, who lives away from what is good, is turning his life toward wrath.
Joseph Ratzinger

To me, its seems necessary to rediscover - and the energy to do so exists - that even the political and economic spheres need moral responsibility, a responsibility that is born in man's heart and, in the end, has to do with the presence or absence of God.
Joseph Ratzinger

The Cross is the approbation of our existence, not in words, but in an act so completely radical that it caused God to become flesh and pierced this flesh to the quick; that, to God, it was worth the death of his incarnate Son.
Joseph Ratzinger

We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires.
Joseph Ratzinger

What Smells Like Stinky Feet?

Author’s Note: This story is very funny. This is one of my favorite pieces because the boots smell like stinky feet. I have worked very hard on this piece and have tried to reach my goals to make this the best piece ever!

Here I am, sitting in a dark box with nowhere to go. I have been sitting in this box for centuries and no one has even opened the box to give me air. When finally, a mom with short, curly brown hair and a husband with short gray hair picks me up and opens me! I knew right then that I was going to be taken home. I wanted to show everyone my natural style. A black boot with a 5in. heel, curved at the top and has gold buckles on both feet and people love me. I am designer shoes. Anyway, the lady opens the box and she is looking at me like these are the perfect shoes for her. I was like no way and she said to her husband, “These are the perfect shoes for Allison.” Immediately I knew that I was going to be the favorite shoe of all time. And then my dream came true. The lady bought me and took me home. When I got to the lady’s home, I was put back in the box and wrapped up and I knew that it was near my favorite time of the year, CHRISTMAS!! I was wrapped up in such beautiful wrapping paper and I was wrapped so neatly. I knew I was going to be the perfect Christmas present. I got so excited and slept until the big day came.
    The big day came. It was Christmas morning but I didn’t here anything for 3 hours. They didn’t open me. Did they forget about me? And then I hear thumps 4 hours later and they were home and I hear their smallest kid named Allison and she said, “Alright guys get dressed and come out and lets start opening presents.” That’s when I got really excited. I was about to become the present of a lifetime. I knew right then that she was going to wear me everywhere! I could hear the excitement of Allison when she was opening her presents. Then, I felt a pick up of my box. I was shaking and scrabbling when I finally heard my box opening. She opened it slightly, and then screamed at the top of her lungs and she ripped me out of the box and said, “Oh my gosh! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!” I was so happy that she appreciated me. Immediately, she stuck her feet in me and I fainted. Her feet smelt so bad, I was going to die. I regretted it for the rest of my life. I was just ha-ha-happy that she loved me. Man she needs a foot freshener or something, man alive! The End!
