.. as Pope, he must always advocate the search for peaceful solutions to the world's problems.

Why? His job is to promote salvation throught Jesus Christ, not create paradise on earth. Jesus said, "I didn't come to bring peace, but a sword."

He also said "all who draw the sword will die be the sword," but that's neither here nor there.

The Pope is a spiritual shepherd, not a statesman.
