Ouch! Fr. Cantalamessa takes on insensitive atheists in his Good Friday Homily at St. Peter's

See if this doesn't sting a little bit, in reference to a recent campaign by atheists to put the following slogan on buses and billboards, "There probably isn't a God, so quit worrying and get on with your life"

"So Christ did not come to increase human suffering or preach resignation to
suffering; he came to give meaning to suffering and to announce its end and defeat. That slogan on the bus in London and in other cities is also read by parents who have sick children, by lonely people, the unemployed, refugees from war zones, people who have suffered grave injustices in life. I try to imagine their reaction to reading the words: "There's probably no God. Now enjoy your life!" How? Suffering is certainly a mystery for everyone, especially the suffering of innocent people, but without faith in God it becomes immensely more absurd. Even the last hope of rescue is taken away. Atheism is a luxury that only those with privileged lives can afford; those who have had everything, including the possibility to dedicate themselves to study and research."
