VATICAN CITY. Dec. "a. Radio
Vatican City recorded by the United
Press III New York1-Popc Plus XII
said in a Christmas message today
that the troubles of the world were
due not to the failure of Christian
ity but to those who left the path
of true Christianity and created a
religion without soul or a soul with
out religion"
The Pope called for "A real new
order of all humanity based on
liberty, justice and love"
He said the new order would re-
quire the pacification of all nations
and the sharing of all the riches Of
the world. The new order also will
require abolition of total wars and
world wars which can only ruin
world economy.
There will be no room for reliG-
ious persecution since religion is
valuable element in world recon
Struction. the pontiff said.
LIGHT STILL SHINES
The star of Bethlehem is high
in the sky and it sparkles as it did
20 centuries ago the Pope said.
Churches and chapelS are illumi-
mated but mankind is plunged in
war of destruction, which brings
suffering for millions of families
devastation of big cities and the
wasting of goods.
The war also brings moral devaS-
tation. The difference between good
and evil is no more understood"
The Pope said the real new Or
der" should provide for liberty and
the rights of minoritieS, freedom
OF worship. retention of native cul-
lures, redistribution of goods and
help for peoples less favored in nat
ural resources.
BLESSING GIVEN
The Pope extended his blessing tC
all war sufferers. especially to priS-
Oners. He said that after the wal
humanity must collaborate in the
principle of Christianity to insure
the integrity ana security of all
nations. This, he said, must be
based on the principles of morality
| leaving no room for the oppression
of minor nations and their cultures
and leaving no room for the eX-
! ploitation of minor nations.
The Pope appealed to the good
will of all mankind for universe
