Holy Father Urges Mankind Remove
Roadblocks From The Path Of Peace
(Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY—His Holiness Pope John XXIII has
urged the world to remove : from the path of peace the ob-
stacles put there by the “malice of man.”
He said it would be possible
“to speak of living-together,
and not mere co-existence,” ii
man were inspired by mutual
confidence rather than by mu
tual suspicion, fear and terror.
It was the second Christmas
message of the Pope’s pontifi
cate, and he pointed out that
“the road to Bethlehem truly
marks the path for the right
approach to that peace which is
on the lips, in the eager desires,
in the hearts of all.”
The Pontiff said all men must
find thir place at Bethlehem,
and that “in the first rank
should be the Catholics.” Today

especially, he declared, the
Church wishes to see Catholics
pledged to an effort to make
Christ’s message of peace “a
part of themselves.” He said “it
is completely intolerable for
Catholics to restrict themselves
to the position of mere ob
servers; they should feel them
selves clothed, as it were, with
a mandate from on high.’ ’
The order and harmony of
true peace are impossible to at
tain if the eternal laws are not
contained in its elements and if
world leaders do not recognize
that they are subject to the
eternal moral laws, he said.
The 3,200-word Christmas
message was delivered in the
Consistorial Hall of the Vatican

ministrative agency of the
Church. They included His
Eminence A 1 o i s i u s Cardinal
Muench, former Bishop of Far

Sacred College.
The Pope’s voice was carried
in simultaneous broadcasts over
nine European networks and
for the remainder of the day his
words were transmitted by
Vatican Radio in 27 languages.
Pope John said “the appear
ance of peace” is three-fold,
namely; Peace of heart, social
peace, and international peace.
To these aspects he added these
three elements of peace: Truth,
justice and charity, which he
said cannot be divided if true

peace is to be found.
Regarding peace of the heart,
the Pope said “peace is before
all else an interior thing, be
longing to the spirit, and its
fundamental condition is a lov
ing and filial dependence on the
will of God.”
Social peace, the Pontiff said,
“is solidly based on mutual and
reciprocal respect for the per
sonal dignity of man.” In this
connection, he asserted, senti
ments of brotherhood ought to
exist “among all who have a
common origin, and are called
to the same destiny.”
Truth is, above all, the basis
of international peace, the Pope
declared. “It is necessary, then,”
he added, “to overcome certain
erroneous ideas: the myth of
force, of nationalism, or of
something else, which have pre
vented the integrated life of na
tions; and to impose a peaceful
living-together on moral princi
ples, according to the teaching
of right reason and of Christian
doctrine.”
“Along with this, and en
lightened by truth, ought to
proceed justice,” the Pope con
tinued. “This removes the
causes of quarrels and wars,
solves the disputes, fixes the
tasks, defines the duties, gives
the answers to the claims of
each party.
“Justice in its turn ought to
be integrated and sustained by
Christian charity. That is, love
of neighbor and one’s own peo-

A MESSAGE OF PEACE
Seated on the papal throne, Pope John XXIII delivers his
second annual Christmas message to the world. In his message,
the pontiff stated that there can be no peace in the world until
mankind overcomes the “erroneous conceptions'of the myth of
force, of nationalism and the like which have poisoned the com
mon life of peoples.” The 78-year-old pontiff said the “holy word
of peace” has been distorted and abused almost beyond recog
nition. Pictured with the Holy Father, left to right, are Monsig
nors Callori di Vignale, Nassalli Rocca and Bishop van Lierde.

pie ought not to be concentrat
ed on self, in an exclusive
egotism, and suspicion of anoth
er’s good, but ought to expand
and reach out spontaneously to
ward the community of inter
ests, to embrace all peoples. It
will thus be possible to speak
of living-together, and not of
of mere co-existence which, pre
cisely because it is deprived of

this inspiration of mutual de
pendence, raises barriers be
hind which nestle mutual sus
picion, fear and terror.”
The Pope pointed out that
“since the men of our times
have not completely carried
into effect the conditions of
peace, the results have been
that God’s paths towards, peace
have no meeting point with
those of man.” “Hence,” he con
tinued, “there is the abnormal
situation of this postwar period
which has created as it were

two blocs, with all their uneasy
conditions. There is not a state
of war, but neither is there
peace, the thing which all na
tions ardently desire.”
Then the Pontiff posed a
question:
“But how can true peace put
forth the two-fold blossom of
order and concord if the persons
who hold positions of public re
sponsibility, before selecting the
advantages and risks of their
decisions, fail to recognize
themselves as persons subject
to the eternal moral law?”
The Pope warned strongly
that peace cannot be sought at
the cost of abdication to false
ideologies.
“It needs still to be noted,”
he said, “that the peace which
the Church prays for cannot
possibly be achieved if it is mis-
1 taken for a yielding or a re
laxation of her firmness in the
face of ideologies and systems
of life which are in open and
irreconcilable opposition to the
Catholic teaching: nor does it
denote indifference to the la
ment which comes to Us even
now from the unhappy lands
where the rights of man are
ignored, and falsehood is adopt
ed as a system.
“Still less can one forget the
sorrowful Calvary of the
Church of Silence: there, where
the confessors of the Faith,
rivaling the early Christian
martyrs, are exposed endlessly
to sufferings and torments for
the cause of Christ. These es
tablished facts nut one on guard
against excessive optimism. But
they render all the more earn
est our prayers for a truly uni
versal return to the respect for
human and Christian liberty.”
Pope John repeated what
many pontiffs before him had
stressed, that “things and insti
tutions—goods, economy, the
state—are primarily for’ man;
not man for them.”
“The disturbances which un
settle the internal peace of na
tions,” the Pope continued,
“trace their origins chiefly to
this source, that man has been
treated almost exclusively as a
machine, a piece of merchan
dise, a worthless cog in some
great machine, a mere produc
tive unit. It is only when the
dignity of the person comes to
be taken as the standard of
value for man in his activities,
that the means will exist to set
tle civil discord and the divi
sions, often profound, between
the employers, for example, and
the employed. Above all, only
then will there be the means
to secure for the institution of
the family those conditions of
life, of work, of assistance capa
ble of making it better directed
in its function as a cell of so
ciety and the first community
instituted by God Himself for
the development of the human
person.”
Peace is indivisible, the Pope
said, and none of its lineaments
can be ignored or excluded.
“At all times, because peace
is indivisible in its various
aspects, it won’t succeed in es
tablishing itself on the social
and international plane unless
it is also, in the first place, an
interior fact,” the Pope declared.
“This requires then, before all
else, ‘men of good will,’ pre
cisely those to whom the angels
of Bethlehem announced peace.”
The Pope indicated that if the
leaders of people remove them
selves from obligation to 'the
