Paul VI regrets idea of impossible peace
Pope Paul VI lamented yesterday that the idea spread that peace is impossible and that only the use of force is capable of maintaining a transitory and false truce. The pope spoke from the window of his study over St. Peter’s Square before a throng of tourists and Romans.
He lamented the “deep internal divisions that have become widespread in many countries.” He did not specifically allude to civil strife in Northern Ireland, the arms race, the Indochina war or revolutionary violence in Latin America, but Vatican sources said he clearly had those issues in mind.
He urged humanity to allow love to overcome “selfishness, the spirit of revenge, and hateful jealousy.” Later, he expressed: “If this is a naive and dangerous dream, we do not consider ourselves dreamers but idealists and prophets and we do not tire of waiting and fighting for peace in love.”
