For political purposes, Eisenhower was right when he said you should have a religion and it doesn’t matter which one it is. For religious purposes, it matters a lot.

You should believe in a religion you think is true, even if that implies you think someone else’s religion is not true. A religion worth its salt will shape you up, and that requires that it have a little starch in it. What good is a religion that says it doesn’t matter what you believe or what you do?

The question is not true versus false but freedom versus coercion. The question for Benedict XVI is what are you going to do about it? I am sure he will have a perfectly respectable answer.
