No, I am not claiming that the world will be peaceful. Who is? The two world wars were not begun by the United States; neither Bush nor Blair are Catholics, and the Pope is not to be evaluated by what he did as a youth, unless he holds those same views now. Those corrections are beside the point though. You know, I hope, that public statements by politicians are not the measure of the benefits that come from Jesus Christ. The real question is whether Christianity has a beneficial influence upon humanity in the places where it thrives. I am saying that it does...that even the left-overs of the Christian faith in a post Christian world, create the environment that so many long to be a part of. In what direction does migration flow?
