"Money disappears,
it becomes nothing. And thus all these things which seem to be real and upon
which we can rely, are in fact of secondary importance. All human things, all
things we can invent and create are finite. So too all human religious experiences
are finite. They show only one aspect of reality, because our limited being
understands only some parts, some elements. Only God is infinite and through
him, his Word too is universal and knows no end. Only the Word of God is the
foundation of all reality, stable like heaven. Therefore we must change our
concept of reality. A realist is one who recognizes that the Word of God - this
reality that appears so weak - is in fact the foundation of everything."
-- Pope Benedict XVI (Oct 6, 2008)
