Pope Benedict XVI is visiting America in hope he can strengthen the waning Christian faith in America.
He spoke against bishops and priests that have helped damage the reputation of the Christian religion because of their many cases of child molestation, that have become widely publicized.
Those atrocities have done heavy duty damage to religion and now it is probably harder than ever to convince someone that religion is the way to go.
The world is becoming more and more non-secular and religion is being tampered with and not practiced the way the text it is derived from says it should be.
Of coarse not all priests and bishops are child molesters, but the few that got caught have done irreparable damage to both the religion and their victims.
Similarly in Islam, terrorists have tarnished the religion's image in most of the western world, that now anytime the word Muslim arises it is almost always accompanied by radicals or terrorists.
I predict that situations will only get worse, and that for many people Science is the new religion.
What is interesting however, is that in all three main religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the end of the world will come when faith is weak amongst the people. The faith is getting weaker all across the globe.
So is the end near? No way to find out but wait.
