Dedication In a world that is overshadowed by the violence of a bloody and merciless conflict, one figure shines forth as a guiding light to lead an enmeshed humanity into a sanctuary of peace. No other leader is so international in character as Our l-loly Father the Pope. His pontificate originated under the shadow of war and until the outbreak of war all his efforts were devoted to warding off the impending disaster. When the hour struck, he immediately set himself to the taslc of easing the cruel hardships of global war without lessening persistent efforts for an early and just peace. To Our l-loly Father, then, Pope Pius XII. the Vicar of Christ and the voice of peace in a world at war, we humbly dedicate the fifth edition of Tl-IE PURPLE AND Tl-IE GOLD.
