Pope Benedict XVI Christmas Wishes - Tuesday Dec 25,2012

Delivering the Vatican's traditional Christmas day message from the central balcony of St Peter's Basilica,Pope Benedict XVI has wished Christmas peace to the world -
  •  decrying the slaughter of the "defenceless" in Syria
  •  urging Israelis and Palestinians to find the courage to negotiate.
  •  encouraged Arab spring nations, especially Egypt, to build just and respectful societies.
  •  said Egypt was the land "blessed by the childhood of Jesus".
  •  prayed that China's new leaders would respect religion, a reference to persecution Chinese Roman Catholics have at times endured under communism.
