Reluctant Catholic Thoughts about the church and my faith.

Technological age

I found this news story from 2005 and noticed an interesting quote from Pope Benedict XVI:

Today we can dispose of vast material resources. But the men and women in our technological age risk becoming victims of their own intellectual and technical achievements, ending up in spiritual barrenness and emptiness of heart. That is why it is so important for us to open our minds and hearts to the Birth of Christ, this event of salvation which can give new hope to the life of each human being.

The risk of becoming a victim of my own intellectual or technical achievements is very real for me.
