Vatican: Educate young for peace, pope says at New Year Mass | Reuters

Educate young for peace, pope says at New Year Mass | Reuters: "Educating the young "in knowledge of the truth, in fundamental values and virtues, is to look to the future with hope," he said in his homily. Young people needed all-round education, and this required a social commitment to justice and peace, the leader of the world's 1.3 billion Roman Catholics said. They must use advances in communications technology to promote peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, dialogue and understanding. "Young people ... are open to these attitudes but the social reality in which they grow up can lead them to think and act in the opposite way, even to be intolerant and violent," he said."
