Pope: Religion Is Losing Favor in Society; "There Is No Strong Attachment to Religion"

The Zenit website reports that Pope Benedict XVI believes that religion is losing favor in society, which is a threat to the basic foundations of marriage and respect for the person from conception to natural death.

The Pope made these feelings known on September 13, 2010 upon receiving the letters of credence of Walter Schmid, the new German ambassador to the Holy See.

In his address, the Pope lamented that "there is no strong attachment to religion" in society in general.

Pope Benedict also reflected on the concept of marriage, stating that it is "manifested as a lasting union of love between a man and a woman, which is also directed to the transmission of human life."
