TODAY IN HISTORY: 04 OCTOBER, 1966; Pope Paul VI seeks an end to the Vietnam War

Pope Paul VI

On this day in 1966, Pope Paul VI addresses 150,000 people in St. Peter’s Square in Rome and calls for an end to the war in Vietnam through negotiations. Although the Pope’s address had no impact on the Johnson administration and its policies in Southeast Asia, his comments were indicative of the mounting antiwar sentiment that was growing both at home and overseas.
