Sodano prays for pope to continue to promote peace, justice

(see related stories) (ANSA) - Vatican City, March 12 - Cardinal Angelo Sodano said Catholics should pray for the next pope to continue in the footsteps of his recent predecessors by promoting international peace and justice as the Italian presided over Tuesday's pre-conclave "pro eligendo Romano Pontifice" mass at St. Peter's.

"The recent popes have been the architects of many initiatives that benefited (the world's) peoples and the international community, promoting peace and justice without stopping," Sodano said.

"Let's pray so that the next pope can continue this incessant work at the world level".
