| THE POPE'S VISIT Hardback Book with Dust Jacket Special Time Life Books Report Over 235 pages with MANY color photos of Pope Paul VI Copyright © 1965 by Time, Inc. " Why did Pope Paul come to New York and the United Nations? " " The answer may not be as obvious as it first appears. It is true that the Pope came to plead the cause of peace in an assembly that, in its first 20 years, has been noted more for dissonance than harmony. As he told his listeners, "Today as never before, in our era so marked by human progress, there is need for an appeal to the moral conscience of man. " " Yet the man who made this fervent appeal is not so naive as to believe that a single journey or one speech, however eloquent, can change the moral climate of our time.
Paul spent 31 years in the Vatican Secretariat of State, among the oldest and most sophisticated chanceries in the world. Such a man is painfully aware of the realities of power and the limitations of international organizations, however well intentioned. " " This book is the record for posterity of a memorable day in history.
It is also the record of some earlier pilgrimages and the story of a modern apostle on his own pilgrimage for peace. " Contents include: " Part I. Pope Paul's Historic Trip to Plead for Peace
Part II. The Wandering Popes and Their Travels
Part III. Paul VI - A Man of Force Mixed With Caution
Part IV. An Ancient Church Confronts New Times
