Pope Laments 'Dying' Churches in West - Yahoo! News

Pope Laments 'Dying' Churches in West - Yahoo! News: "Benedict also touched on another his favorite themes: the state of the church in Europe. He said in contrast to the developing world, where there is a 'springtime of faith,' the West was 'a world that is tired of its own culture, a world that has arrived at a time in which there's no more evidence of the need for God, much less Christ, and in which it seems that man alone can make himself."
