Pope Appeals For Peace In New Year’s Message

Pope Francis made an passionate plea for peace as part of his New Year’s address saying that too many people are indifferent to war, violence and injustice.

The Pope hoped that the world would listen to his “cry for peace” saying that the heart of humanity has gone too far astray from God.

According to Vatican officials, Pope Francis strayed from his prepared text when addressing the issue of depravity in men’s hearts.

“What on earth is happening in the hearts of men?” the Pope declared.  “What on earth is happening in the heart of humanity?  It’s time to stop!”

“Everyone must be committed to building a society that is truly just and caring.”

The Vatican announced the Pope will choose the first batch of cardinals to join the exclusive group that will pick his one day successor on February 22.  The cardinals being considered reportedly will reflect the Pope’s desire for the church to move away from its previous pompousness and focus more on caring for the poor and afflicted.
