Pope wraps up trip to native country

Pope Benedict XVI today made an emotional visit to the cathedral where he became a priest, ending a six-day trip during which he warned his secular, socially liberal homeland not to let faith in reason and technology make it forget God.

Benedict uncharacteristically tossed aside his prepared text at the cathedral in Freising outside Munich, and instead spoke of his own frailty at age 79 and asked the audience of priests and bishops for their help.
