With all the international tension over the last few weeks, one figure finally decided to step up against the conflict.  On Saturday during a news conference, Pope Francis intervened in our relations with North Korea and said to step away before it escalates further.  He also notes the division occurring in France due to the recent election.  He clearly expresses his values as well as his belief of handling political and international matters in a more diplomatic manner and strongly urges other world leaders to do the same.  We are in a desperate need for peace among all nations.
