Bravo, Cardinal Ratzinger!

Yahoo! News - Church leader rails at cloning "arrogance" :
"Justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd. Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think"

The quote above is from a recent statement by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It was part of a Good Friday address in which he also condemned cloning as man attempting to usurp God's role as the Author of life and alluded to the disgrace brought upon the church by some of its own in the priestly pedophilia scandals in the US and Austria.

I hold no brief for the Bishop of Rome and his cronies, but when a man is right he is right, and Cardinal Ratzinger is absolutely on target here.
