In 1958, Fr Georges Pire

won the Nobel Prize for Peace for a life lived without reference to Our Lord, even before the Second Vatican Council.

He founded a University of Peace, just ready for the swinging sixties. St Dominic would not have recognised his spiritual child.

Not too surprising then that Yassir Arafat, Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter and Al Gore should have got the same gong. The first three worship(ed) God in some form, Al Gore if he worships anything, worships Gaia. Was his mother always angry with him, one wonders.
