Not only do I have a great love for the game of golf - no matter how badly I play it - but I have also the belief that through every kind of meeting, through every kind of activity to which we can bring together more often and more intimately peoples of our several countries, by that measure we will do something to solve the difficulties and the tensions that this poor old world seems nowadays to so much endure.

How many times have we heard - all of us, around the neighborhood and elsewhere - "but to be a Catholic like that, it's better to be an atheist." It is that, scandal. You destroy. You beat down.

And with the scandals there is destruction.
