Asymmetric Catholic

This story contains a couple of interesting remarks. First,

"human dignity cannot be trampled upon in this way."

traffickers must "reflect on the grave harm they are inflicting on countless young people and on adults from every level of society,"

"God will call you to account for your deeds."

It's rare to hear a leader from a mainstream religion speak this way. All of us, of course, will account to God for everything we've done. Benedict reminds people of this fact to make drug dealers reflect on their behavior, but all of us should be mindful of this fact (it sure as umm, heck, reminds me). One may also contrast Benedict's alert to the possibility of future punishment with statements made by Pat Robertson wherein he takes past events and associates them with people he feels God should have punished, which is both uncharitable and the wildest, most ridiculous speculation on his part.
