Can we not collaborate with them without prejudice to our faith? Theory can be wrong, but people can be good."
YOUTH MUST UNITE TO SEEK PEACE, JUSTICE
Regarding Vietnam, Cardinal Cardijn acknowledged that a peaceful solution will be difficult to find. But he said the solution does not lie in slaughter of people and destruction of their homes. He also mentioned the killing of 300,000 people in the wake of the abortive Communist uprising in Indonesia last year.
Cardinal Cardijn waves to school-children before he left for Adelaide on Tuesday.
