Pope Benedict XVI urged motorists Sunday to take care as they embark on their summer holidays, lamenting the "tragic" loss of life on highways from careless drivers...
The pope noted that the end of June marks the start of summer holidays, when many Italians head to the seashore or the mountains -- and the death toll from highway accidents increases, particularly on weekends.
Benedict wished everyone a good "well-earned" rest, but he said he also wanted to make an appeal for "prudence" for those who will be traveling.
I think this is cool. I'm not sure if it will do any good or not, but... it's still cool.
"Life is precious and unique: It must always be respected and protected, including with correct and prudent behavior on the roads."
Is it wrong of me to say, "Preach on, Pontiff!" ?????
