+ POPE CONDEMNS GENETIC MANIPULATION
The Pope delivered a blistering attack on the "satanic" mores of modern 
society on 14 April (Good Friday), warning against an "inane apologia of evil" that 
is in danger of destroying humanity.

In a series of Good Friday meditations that he led in Rome, the Pope said 
that society is in the grip of a kind of "anti-Genesis". Particular condemnation 
was reserved for scientific advances in the field of genetic manipulation. 
Warning against the move to "modify the very grammar of life as planned and 
willed by God", the Pope lead prayers against "insane, risky and dangerous" 
ventures in attempting "to take God's place without being God".
