Pope asks for spiritual 'wake-up'
Pope Benedict XVI has used his first Christmas message to issue a
wake-up call to Catholics and to all humanity.
Addressing thousands in St Peter's Square, the pope said people of
the 21st Century risked becoming "victims of their intellectual
achievements".
He decried the "menace" of terrorism, the "humiliation" of worldwide
poverty and said pandemics and environmental destruction were
dangerous new threats.
The pope followed in the footsteps of his predecessor who died in
April.
Thousands of pilgrims, tourists and Romans gathered at a rain-soaked
Vatican to hear Pope Benedict speak.
'Fairness and wisdom'
He urged the crowd not focus entirely on the "immense progress" made
in science and technology during the previous millennium.
"The men and women in our technical age risk becoming victims of
their own intellectual and technical achievements, ending up in
spiritual barrenness and emptiness of heart," the pope said.
Sings of hope in the Holy Land, in Iraq, in Lebanon, need to be
confirmed by actions inspired by fairness and wisdom
Pope Benedict XVI
His warnings about the series of dangers facing humanity today came
ahead of traditional prayer calls for peace and goodwill around the
world.
He prayed for those working for peace and against conflict in Africa
and Asia, and for harmony in Latin America.
In the Holy Land, Iraq and Lebanon, the pope said, signs of hope need
to be confirmed by action inspired by "fairness and wisdom".
He followed his address with the now-traditional Christmas greeting,
delivered this year in 33 languages including Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese
and Finnish.
Earlier, celebrating his first Christmas Eve Mass since becoming
pontiff, the pope made a plea for peace in the Middle East.
Calling on Roman Catholics to think of those in Bethlehem, he
said: "We wish to pray for peace in the Holy Land."
The pontiff is scheduled to lead an evening service on New Year's Eve
and celebrate mass the next day in St Peter's Basilica to mark the
Catholic Church's World Peace Day.
Mid-East concern
As Christmas began, the head of Iraq's Chaldean Christian church
prayed for peace in Iraq and elsewhere.
Ceremonies in Baghdad were held before dusk on Saturday in advance of
a curfew.
"I do not want to make a distinction between Christians and Muslims,
we are all Iraqis," said Emmanuel II Delly.
"A car bomb kills without distinguishing between Christians and
Muslims."
In Bethlehem, revered as the birthplace of Jesus, Latin Patriarch
Michel Sabbah, the senior Catholic cleric in the Holy Land, said the
region was "thirsting for peace".
"God created you not to fear or to kill each other but to love each
other, to build and to cooperate together," he told crowds in
Bethlehem, where Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas was attending his
first Christmas Eve service.

======================================
Orang Islam tipikal kudu sadar bahwa al-Mushaf itu TIDAK berbukti
berisi wahyu Allah dan hadits itu mustahil ada yang sahih.
Semua itu hanyalah kibulan dan omong kosong orang Arab.
Agar jelas: Nabi Muhamamd itu hanyalah tokoh fiktif
dan ajaran agama Islam itu hanyalah didasarkan kepada
omong kosong dan kibulan doang.
