Charlemagne Prize for Pope Francis, but not Benedict XVI

Today Aachen gave Pope Francis the International Charlemagne Prize of the City of Aachen, one of the most prestigious prizes of Europe. It was given to one other Pope, John Paul II (and not until his penultimate year 2004), but never given to Pope Benedict, Aachen's very own German Pope. "And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred." Mark 6:4

Confused Europe wants to save itself and the while denying it's own Christian foundation and God-given prophets!
