Educate young for peace, pope says at New Year Mass
Sun, Jan 1 2012, VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Humanity faces a decisive
challenge - educating new generations in justice and peace in order
to avoid the violent tragedies of the past, Pope Benedict said in
his New Year address on Sunday, the day the Roman Catholic Church
calls its annual World Day of Peace.
The pope said this year's theme, "Educating Young People in Justice
and Peace," is a task for every generation following the two
world wars in the 20th century and other conflicts since. Young people
needed all-round education, and this required a social commitment
to justice and peace. They must use advances in communications technology
to promote peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, dialogue and understanding.
