Alleen moet men deze zin lezen in de context van de preek waarin ze een plaats vonden. Uiteindelijk was dat helemaal niet het belangrijkste. Eens te meer gaat de media volledig voorbij aan wat de paus wou zeggen. Hij heeft het over verantwoordelijkheidszin, broederschap, verdriet, troost en vergevingsgezindheid.

Here lie many victims. Today, we remember them. There are tears, there is sadness, there is pain. From this place we remember all the victims of every war.
Today, too, the victims are many... How is this possible? It is so because in today’s world, behind the scenes, there are interests, geopolitical strategies, lust for money and power, and there is the manufacture and sale of arms, which seem to be so important!
And these plotters of terror, these schemers of conflicts, just like arms dealers, have engraved in their hearts, “What does it matter to me?” It is the task of the wise to recognize errors, to feel pain, to repent, to beg for pardon and to cry.
With this “What does it matter to me?” in their hearts, the merchants of war perhaps have made a great deal of money, but their corrupted hearts have lost the capacity to cry. That “What does it matter to me?” prevents the tears. Cain did not cry. He was unable to cry. The shadow of Cain hangs over us today in this cemetery. It is seen here. It is seen from 1914 right up to our own time. It is seen even in the present.
With the heart of a son, a brother, a father, I ask each of you, indeed for all of us, to have a conversion of heart: to move on from “What does it matter to me?”, to tears: for each one of the fallen of this “senseless massacre”, for all the victims of the mindless wars, in every age.
Humanity needs to weep, and this is the time to weep.
De daders zijn bekend meneer, "weep :cry:" en klaag hen aan! |
