dated October 30, 1958: New Pope’s message

Pope John XXIII delivered a radio message to the world on October 29. He made the speech from a throne in the Sistine Chapel and spoke for 12 minutes in a strong, clear voice and appealed for peace and concord between nations and for justice for all classes. He sent a special message of greetings to the bishops and clergy in those countries where “they do not enjoy religious freedom.” Then he addressed all the rulers of nations and told them that they should act in such a way as to inspire mutual confidence. They should insist on peace so that the human family can live in freedom.
