I believe the drivers Ten Commandments which just been issued by the Vatican is very suitable for drivers in Rome, Paris, and of course my beloved city Jakarta.

Just like Cardinal Renato Martino associated press writer the effects of road rage can bring “primitive” behavior “impoliteness” and other unaccepted behavior, so next time you turn your car ignition key remember these Ten Commandments Probably this will improve the road safety.

The "Drivers' Ten Commandments," as listed by the document, are:

1. You shall not kill.

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

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

4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.

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

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

7. Support the families of accident victims.

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

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

10. Feel responsible toward others.

Pope Benedict XVI’s concern about conserving the earth resources, reflect on the intention of rebuilding the Roof of the Paul VI auditorium using photovoltaic that convert sunlight into electricity.

The 6.300-seat auditorium is mainly used for the pontiff’s general audiences during the winter and bad weather. The cells will produce enough electricity to illuminate, heat or cool the building.

Since the auditorium isn't used every day, the (excess) energy will feed into the network providing (the Vatican) with power, so other Vatican offices can use the energy," said a vatican engineer Pier Carlo Cuscianna.

Last summer, Benedict called on Christians to unite to take "care of creation without squandering its resources and sharing them in a convivial manner." He said lifestyle choices were damaging the environment and making "the lives of poor people on Earth especially unbearable."
