Pope Benedict departs U.S. with a call for peace
The Pope said his visit to the General Assembly of the United Nations was one of the “high points” of his visit.
Before his departure the pope said. I encourage people of goodwill everywhere to continue working tirelessly to promote justice and peaceful coexistence between people and nations.
Benedict’s three-day visit to New York was the second leg of his six-day trip to the United States — his first since he was elected to the papacy.
