Peace begins with a look of respect that recognizes in another man's face a person, regardless of the color of his skin, nationality, language or religion.

This appeared earlier today also in a story on WDSU. The story was removed. However, we would like to share our response with those who may read this blog.
The Pope speaks well and all should listen. However, he, his cardinals, his bishops, his priests, his deacons must not simply talk the talk but also walk the walk. Too often they fail to carry out the very words they speak. The Church is for all and in that Church there must be equal treatment for all humans not preference to only some. Jesus, himself, reached out to all, rich and poor, sinless and sinful, people of all faiths, and people of all nations. This is the challenge to the Church once again today. May it and faithful of all faiths combine to achieve this goal.
