Pope hits out at consumer culture

The Pope is in Sydney to lead the Catholic Church's World Youth Day

Pope Benedict XVI has attacked popular culture and consumerism in a formal address to tens of thousands of young Roman Catholics.

The pontiff also warned that natural resources were being squandered, in the speech in Sydney, Australia.

"Our world has grown weary of greed, exploitation and division, of the tedium of false idols and piecemeal responses, and the pain of false promises," he told the crowd.

The 81-year-old pontiff also called for greater protection of the environment for future generations.

He spoke of "scars which mark the surface of our earth - erosion, deforestation, the squandering of the world's mineral and ocean resources in order to fuel an insatiable consumption".

In a joint statement Chuck0, Crimethinc and John Zerzan welcomed the Pope's support for their ideas while Hakim Bey has planned a joint "Love all god's children equally" tour with the pontiff.

"I hope I can keep up with those catholic paedos," Bey stated.

"I mean, I'm obviously a sicko but those guys really know how to party."
