Subject: Idiot: Pope attacks Christmas consumerism at Mass Sun Dec 25, 2011 5:05 am
Pope Benedict XVI has attacked the commercialisation of Christmas, as he held the traditional Christmas Eve Mass at St Peter's Basilica in Rome.
In his homily, he urged worshippers to "see through the superficial glitter of this season and to discover behind it the child in the stable in Bethlehem".
The Pope also lamented the enduring presence of violence in the world.
The pontiff will deliver his annual Urbi et Orbi (To the City and the World) speech in a few hours.
