VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict told Roman Catholics on Thursday that being good was not boring and urged people to reject the idea that they were missing out if they did not sin.

"The suspicion emerges in us that a person who does not sin is, after all, boring; that something is missing from his life: the dramatic dimension of being free," he said.

"We think that bargaining with evil, reserving ourselves a little freedom against God, is, after all, good or even necessary. But looking at the world around us we can see that this is not so," he said.
