The Pope… behind the wheel.

June 19th, 2007 by The Bosphorus

The Vatican speaks out about driving.

The 10 commandments of driving

  1. You shall not kill.
  2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
  3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
  4. Be charitable and help your neighbour in need, especially victims of accidents.
  5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
  6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
  7. Support the families of accident victims.
  8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
  9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
  10. Feel responsible toward others.

There goes my Hummer, cf #5.

    The Church no longer has much credibility in regards to ‘responsibility toward others’ and ‘protecting the vulnerable’, though. They should practice what they preach.
