Many theories have been put forward to explain the conflicts that have affected the Middle East but his holiness has come up with a different one. The Pope blamed the Devil for the conflict in the Middle East as he hosted the Israeli and Palestinian presidents for a unprecedented "prayer for peace" in the Vatican garden. 'In remarks prepared for the ceremony Pope Francis said: "More than once we have been on the verge of peace, but the evil one has succeeded in blocking it. It is my hope that this meeting will mark the beginning of a new journey.' (Times, 9 June) All this time socialists have been blaming capitalism for modern wars while his holiness has come up with a much simpler answer. RD
