> INTERESTING IDEA.... A glimmer of hope in unlikely corners. > Date: Friday, March 7, 2003 1:10 PM > Subject: The Pope in Iraq? > > Beloved Friends, > > Now and then a message comes across my desk that I know I must pass on. > Several days ago a friend forwarded an email to me from Helen Caldicott > regarding a way we could assure an end to possible war in Iraq, and I have > to agree that this could work. As you probably know, Pope John Paul II is > adamantly against this war and has called it "a defeat for Humanity." He > sent an emissary to Iraq and Washington to deliver a personal message and > continues to urge political leaders to protest a possible US led invasion. > If there is one person whose life George Bush would be unwilling to risk it > would be the Pope's. Therefore, millions of people around the world are > being asked to email, fax or even telephone His Holiness asking him to > personally station himself in Baghdad until a proper solution can be found. > If he would do it, it would work. > > I would like to suggest we take this request one step further. The Pope has > been a strong voice for peace and reconciliation for many years now, and has > called the spiritual leaders of the world together twice to pray for peace > in Assisi. I suggest the Pope call another gathering of spiritual leaders > opposed to war and violence in Iraq, imploring them to join him in a > statement George Bush cannot ignore. If they gather in Baghdad and ask the > people of the world to join them in prayer, then the war will not happen. > Then the inspectors would have more time to do their work and a political > solution would surely be found. > > I have already emailed the Pope and I ask you to do the same. Also, please > forward this email to as many people as you can, for it will be hard for His > Holiness to ignore the requests of millions of people. I consider this a > spiritual solution coming from religions that have in the past been the > cause of so much separation. Please help us spread the word for this > important mission. > > Please send your email to: accreditamenti@pressva.va. If you would like to > send a fax from the US, the number is: 011-39-06698-85378 (from other > countries drop the 011 prefix), and to phone call: 011-39-06-69-82. > > Imagine the impact of such a statement of peace from the leaders of the > world's religions from Iraq. Let this be a "Victory for Humanity." It is the > eleventh hour. The war may begin any day now. Please do not wait letting the > Pope hear your important voice. > > > In Peace, > > James Twyman > > ************************************************************ > > If you wish to reply to this email, please do not use the "Reply" function. > Instead, go to our website page: > > http://emissaryoflight.com/contact.html -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- SUST-MAR TIP: messages to sust-mar must be plain text format (no HTML) -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
