"We now see in the collapse of the great banks: money disappears, turns to nothing. And all these things, which seem like the true reality on which we can count, are realities of a second order. One who builds his life on these realities, on objects, success, on everything that's visible, builds on sand. Only the Word of God is the foundation of every reality, fixed as the heavens and more than the heavens. So we must change our concept of realism. The realist is the one who recognizes that the Word of God- a reality that appears so weak- is the foundation of everything. The realist is the one who builds his life on this foundation that remains permanently."
Pope Benedict XVI
