Just do it!

According to the new Pope, speaking at World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany:

He called upon the hundreds of thousands of teenagers present to turn away from both secularism and new-age spirituality - what he describes as a “do-it-yourself” religion.

“Religion constructed on a ‘do-it-yourself’ basis cannot ultimately help us - it may be comfortable but at times of crisis we are left to ourselves,” he said.

  1. From the man who has the original alien jesus body in a jar stuck down in the relic basement.

    What does he mean by “ourselves?” “Ourselves” being the catholic church or “Ourselves” being the individual?
    I can’t believe the Catholic Church would ever promote the notion of the individual.

  2. Didn’t the other Rabbis warn Jesus about “do-it-yourself” religion? Doesn’t Adam Smith’s “invsible hand” apply to churches in the marketplace of free worship? Sounds to me like Pope Ratz is preaching a form of religious communism.
