"The Holy Father particularly asks the lay faithful to ensure "that the future not be moulded exclusively by others; intervene with imagination and persuasive ability in the debates of the present time. ... Using the Gospel as your parameter, participate actively in the political and social life of your country. As lay Catholics, dare to participate in creating the future, in unison with priests and bishops!"
Vox Nova has the link and more here.
This sounds very much like what Pope Benedict said on the White House Lawn. I think he is serious about this revolutionary line of thought.
If the Ratzinger Forum has made a full translation of this talk I will post a link.
