Pope Benedict XVI has called for peace in the world during his New Year's Mass in Saint Peter's Cathedral. Since 1967, New Year's Day has been World Peace Day in the Roman Catholic Church.
The pope said there is a direct relationship between peace in the world and the traditional family, based on a bond between man and woman.
Indirectly he criticised unmarried couples and homosexual marriage, which has been legalised in many countries including Spain, which is mostly Catholic.
