“Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road”

 

***Begin Quote***

In any case, with the request for motorists to exercise virtue, we have drawn up a special ?decalogue? for them, in analogy with the Lord?s Ten Commandments. These are stated here below, as indications, considering that they may also be formulated differently.

I. You shall not kill.

II. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.

III. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.

IV. Be charitable and help your neighbour in need, especially victims of accidents.

V. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.

VI. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.

VII. Support the families of accident victims.

VIII. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.

IX. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.

X. Feel responsible towards others.

Sigh!

The secular progressive media is so busy laughing that can NOT even take time to report what they were. Even on the internet, sites were too busy laughing or deriding it to post the text.

It took a few minutes to find a posting of them.

Driving on the roads, I can see why the Papacy might be concerned.

When one gets direction from a good source (i.e., the learned, the wise, the holy), then only a fool laughs imho.

Being a driver with a heavy foot, I’ll take the admonition to heart for what it is. An inexpensive way for me to be a better person. Note, one doesn’t do this for the Pope, the neighbor, the society in general. No, one does it for oneself. To be the best you that you can be.

And, that’s no joke!
