Vatican City- Pope Benedict XVI on Friday warned against "the impending danger" of a clash of civilizations and reaffirmed the importance of the celibacy rule for priests as he prepared to lead Christmas celebrations in Rome's Basilica of St Peter. "The year that draws to a close," the pope said, will be remembered for "the horrors of the war that took place in the Holy Land and the general danger of a clash of civilizations and religions - an impending danger that still threatens our times," Benedict said in an address to the Roman Curia - the Church's central administration.

I liked the Pope back in September when he made a gallant speech. This was shortly after meeting with Oriana Fallaci before her death. It seemed she had gotten him fired up and it was grand. Then came Pope rage (like cartoon rage) and he got quiet. He needs to speak out about the truth and I think he knows the truth about Mohammed. Just like the title of Robert Spencer's book. Come on Pope Benedict fight for us and help us with this fight.
