Pope Shouldn't Interfere in France Politics

Pope’s recent trip to France created a conflict in the Country’s politics instead of enlightening the belief of the people of France. Pope who set off to France with the intention of damaging the prideful Secularism of France has made speeches in public gatherings and priest gatherings. His speech about Positive Secularism tends to destroy the political peace that prevails in France for hundreds of years.

Pope’s demand to start talks in the Priest’s gathering based on the Secularism of France has made a political trauma in the country. France with majority of people belonging to Catholic Christianity stands firm in pure Secularism by separating political actions and authorities from religion. Pope who plans to change these basic laws and grab the Catholic clergy’s powers is trying to storm the peaceful France.

Europe was experiencing the horrible effects of war for 1700 years that were the outcome of the past competitions between many Popes and the Kings for getting the power of authority. Pope who seems to have lost all the races to get the authority is now settled down as the king of Vatican. The recent speeches of Pope made in France reveal the authority hunger of Catholic clergy. The wish of Catholic people around the globe is that France should not fall in to the conspiracies made by Pope. While there are enough problems that are to be solved inside in the Catholic Church today, Pope’s interference in other country’s political stuff is never good.

Vatican II Council expressed its deep sorrow about the decreasing religious involvement of the first world countries day by day.  Though 40 long years have passed now, the Catholic Church never seems to attempt any change to the prevailing situation. The Catholic clergy is not worried about the people of the first world countries like France who stopped going to churches in the recent years.

This decrease in the number of people who visit the churches is not because of losing faith in God. There are some other valuable reasons for this act. The Catholics have lost their interest in the prevailing Religious procedures. The Catholic custom is still viewing women in the Second (low) level. Conducting liturgy is still restricted for Nuns. In some cases of the misbehavior of the priests, no strong actions are taken against them. Because of these factors, the Catholics in the first world countries are loosing their faith in the Catholic churches. Mother Teresa was successful in kindling the faith among people who are not even Catholics. But the Catholic clergy has utterly failed in bringing faith among people.

Pope’s interference in other irrelevant aspects, ignoring all the above mentioned problems is totally unwanted and is just a mere waste of time and the root cause of other problems. Moreover, Pope doesn’t have the authority to interfere in other Country’s politics. If this involvement of Pope in France politics is allowed, there is no doubt that he will get into the political problems of many more countries. This will destroy the World Peace from the root.
