VATICAN CITY (NC) - Peace is a problem of morals not of power, His Holiness said in his newest encyclical, urging "all men of good will" to strive for a peace based on love rather than on fear. Pacem in Terris is the first encyclical
addressed not only to Catholics but also to all men of good will. The closely reasoned
1l,OOO-word papal letter calls
for elimination of racism,
encouragement of ethnic mi
norities and voluntary estab
lishment ofa world authority capable of dealing with prob lems of the universal. common good on a worldwide scale. Dated today, Holy Thursday, but issued yesterday, Pope John's eighth encyclical analyzes the nature of peace, the means of attaining it and practical sug gestions for insuring it. . The opening sentence sets the t-one of the document: "Peace on earth, which men .of every era have most eagerly yearned for, can be firmly estab
lished only if the order laid
down by God be dutifully ob
served." Turn t-o Page Fourteen
