Pardonne, ô Seigneur, si nous avons murmuré en voyant la désolation de ton temple ; pardonne à notre raison ébranlée ! L'homme n'est lui-même qu'un édifice tombé, qu'un débris du péché et de la mort ; son amour tiède, sa foi chancelante, sa charité bornée, ses sentiments incomplets, ses pensées insuffisantes, son cœur brisé, tout chez lui n'est que ruines.
R. Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius. Pater. Ave.
Deus, omnium fidelium pastor et rector, famulum tuum Benedictum, quem pastorem Ecclesiae tuae praeesse voluisti, propitius respice: da ei, quaesumus, verbo et exemplo, quibus praeest, proficere: ut ad vitam, una cum grege sibi credito, perveniat sempiternam. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
Deus, dives in misericórdia, qui beátum Ioánnem Paulum, papam, univérsae Ecclésiae tuae praeésse voluísti, praesta, quaésumus, ut, eius institútis edócti, corda nostra salutíferae grátiae Christi, uníus redemptóris hóminis, fidénter aperiámus. Qui tecum.

In our modern world animals seem to have more rights than certain kind of human beings. Perhaps a certain heathen element as animals were worshipped in some heathen cults. So the human beings are becoming more primitive again.
Oh, they are everywhere, the heathens. And the secular protagonists and their 'Catholic' fellow-travellers in the worlds of intellectual life and academia don't like the idea of 'civilisation', anyway; 'primitive' is just a pejorative label applied by elitist racist power-mad abusers to their victims. Tsk, tsk.
