Jubilee - Faith and Pain

The extraordinary Jubilee that took place in Rome on the 8th of December was the beginning of a year of peace. But what are the real reasons behind it? The masses gathering at San Peter square are not only a show of faith but a way for the church to extend its influence to people that hadn't thought about religion as a way of life. I sit a way to divert the attention from the reality of religion in human history and in recent events.
