Pope: Financial crisis shows futility of money

Pope Benedict XVI says the global financial crisis show the futility of money and ambition. Benedict said that "now with the collapse of big banks we see that money disappears, is nothing and all these things that appear real are in fact of secondary importance."

He urges those who build their lives "only on things that are visible, such as success, career, money" to keep that in mind. Benedict added that "the only solid reality is the word of God." (AP)
