Complete this sentence from Pope Ratzinger:
“The suspicion emerges in us that a person
who does not sin is, after all, ________________.
(A) “Saintly”
(B) “Christ-like”
(C) “Frankly suspicious”
(D) “Boring”
(E) “Probably hiding something”
Answer: (D)
"The suspicion emerges in us that a person who does
not sin is, after all, boring; that something is
missing from his life: the dramatic dimension of being
free. We think that bargaining with evil, reserving
ourselves a little freedom against God, is, after all,
good or even necessary. But looking at the world
around us we can see that this is not so.”
–– Pope Benedict XVI
