Opportunities to remain silent (2)

Pope Benedict XVI has reportedly blamed the recent riots in England on a moral relativism which has swept the country.

He may well be right, but, and I have said this before, this is from a former member of the Hitlerjugend who turned a blind eye to child molestation in his church. Despite his exalted position I am not sure I want to hear about moral relativism from this quarter.

I recommend to His Holiness the words of Seneca: 'It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.'
