“I also have a message for all Americans: The capture of Saddam Hussein does not mean the end of violence in Iraq.

Such men are a direct threat to the American people, and they will be defeated.”

“The Church is expected, even in the middle of human weakness and error, to guard, in obedience and veneration, the Gospel Christ has entrusted to her. The Pope is not the creator of the faith, but the custodian of the Gospel.”

Men triumph over women still,
Men trample women's rights at will,
And man's lust roves the world untamed.
