Holy
Father appreciated very much respectful feelings expressed by Foreign Minister
and asks Your Excellency to express to him His august pleasure.
Having
considered the question, Holy See, although always ready to promote and assist
any proposal to avert way calamity, cannot see how it could be possible to
promote an initiative, since its acceptance by the other interested nations is
impossible to foresee.
