Did the Pope get it right?

This isn't political is it? I think the pope might have gotten this one right...

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI says the global financial crisis shows the futility of money and ambition

Befnedict says 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.

The pontiff was speaking Monday as he opened the works of a meeting of 253 bishops at the Vatican.

Benedict says "the only solid reality is the word of God."

Interesting.
