World War 3 is not inevitable.

While we are still on this side of it, as a Christian, a Catholic, I won't cease to pray for peace, and for lasting real solutions to our very real predicament as the human race.

Pope Benedict:

"The conviction that the economy must be autonomous, that it must be shielded from "influences" of a moral character, has led man to abuse the economic process in a thoroughly destructive way. In the long term, these convictions have led to economic, social and political systems that trample upon personal and social freedom, and are therefore unable to deliver the justice that they promise.

Financiers must rediscover the genuinely ethical foundation of their activity, so as not to abuse the sophisticated instruments which can serve to betray the interests of savers.

To revive the global economy without creating greater imbalances, inequalities and insecurities, there is urgent need of a true world political authority, as my predecessor Blessed John XXIII indicated some years ago."
