"He felt he couldn't turn it "The pope spoke of problems and obstacles or peace as man kind pursues Its selfish desires," Fr. Beard said. "He has to make way for other Individuals." The pope mentioned spiritual values and brought moral val ues into his discussion, Father Beard said. He reported His Holi ness as saying. "There is little peace among men because the Prince of Peace is excluded. "He wanted to bring the mes sage of peace as Christ did 2000 years ago," the speaker said, adding that the pope felt that since these were "men of rea son" maybe they could get to gether and prevent .further bloodshed and further killings.
