For Peace
'"God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world," the pope prayed...', during his visit to Ground Zero Does anybody still think that's going to work? Popes (among others) have been praying for peace as long as there's been a pope in Rome. That is to say, ever since 1376. Or perhaps 1417. Before that, for some time, the pope, being a creature of the French King, was bunkered up in Avignon. This interregnum includes some historical (or mythological) events like the Knights of the Temple, the Holy Grail and, of course, Friday the 13th.
At any rate, here's the current pope praying for peace. I guess he's heavily invested in the proposition that he can persuade God to do what seems to be pretty much the impossible. Seeing as how there has been as near to no peace in the years since 1376 (or 1417), in spite of a helluva lot of prayers, why does anybody think this is going to work now?
