Pope prays for flood victims

The prayers offered by the Pope are as worthless as monopoly money. Instead of praying, why doesn’t he send real money to help the flood victims in their recovery effort? TGO

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI says he is praying for the victims of recent flooding in Thailand and Italy.

Benedict began his greetings to pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday by recalling the devastation caused by heavy rains in the two countries. Thailand’s worst flooding in half a century has claimed 381 lives over the last three months. In Italy, floods and mudslides last week devastated coastal areas of Liguria and Tuscany and killed nine people.

The pope says he wants to express his closeness to those suffering because of the flooding and assure them of his prayers.
