In Truth, Peace

Filed under: Uncategorized

The link to a copy of Pope Benedict’s speech “In Truth, Peace” is included below. I was going to write about the speech, but it is well written and I feel I couldn’t add anything to it.

For those wanting a brief summary, “In Truth, Peace” was Pope Benedict’s first New Year/World Day of Peace message. In it he looks at how truth is crucial to having real peace. It definitely has a Catholic veiwpoint and includes many quotes from the Bible and Catholic literature. Even so, I would highly recommend it to those who aren’t Bible believers. The quotes and definitions of peace are well worth reading.
