Pope Benedict XVI Quote

Material possessions in themselves are good. We would not survive for long without money, clothing, shelter and food.

How many voices in our materialist society tell us that happiness is to be found by acquiring as many possessions and luxuries as we can! But this is to make possessions into a false god. Instead of bringing life, they bring death.
