 | | Vatican, Feb. 20 (CWNews.com) - Mankind is paralyzed by sin, which blocks the path to peace and healthy development, Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) told his Sunday audience on February 19. |
 | | Speaking on the today's Gospel, which related Christ's healing of the paralytic, the Holy Father observed that this man is "an image of every human being." Wounded by Original Sin, men are "tied with cords of hatred, anger, envy, and the other sins, which little by little paralyze him," the Pope said. |
 | | The results of this paralysis are evident in all the problems that afflict the world, he said. |
