Francis' Peace

In South Korea for the Asian Youth gathering, Pope "Francis told South Korean President Park Geun-hye that peace required forgiveness, cooperation and mutual respect. He said diplomacy must be encouraged so that dialogue could replace 'mutual recriminations, fruitless criticisms, and displays of force'." (Philippine  Daily Inquirer)

Truly the Vicar of the Greatest Mediator! He really nailed the requisites to a successful mediation.  The aggrieved party needs to accept the apology/compensation/goodwill of the other. Both sides are to work together toward the peaceful settlement of their conflict, with respect and without the blame and violence.
