Breaking News: Pope´s appeal for Peace..Pope calls urgent meeting with Vatican Diplomatic Corps over Syria
Archbishop Mamberti's Address to Vatican Diplomatic Corps

VATICAN CITY, September 05, 2013 (Zenit.org) - Here is a translation of the address given today by Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, Vatican Secretary for Relations with States, at a meeting with ambassadors acredited to the Holy See. The diplomatic corps were called to the meeting to discuss the situation in Syria and the Pope's declaration of a Day of Prayer and Fasting.

The Pope's heartbroken appeal gives voice to the desire for peace that rises from every part of the earth, from the heart of all men of good will. In the concrete historical situation, marked by violence and wars in many places, the Pope's voice is raised at a particularly grave and delicate moment in the long Syrian conflict, which has already witnessed too much suffering, devastation and sorrow, to which are added the many innocent victims of the attacks of last August 21, which aroused horror and concern in global public opinion because of the consequences of the possible use of chemical weapons. One cannot remain silent in face of such events, and the Holy See hopes that the competent institutions will clarify matters and that those responsible render account to justice. Such deplorable acts have aroused these reactions also in the international realm. For his part, the Holy Father has made present with gravity and firmness that "there is a judgment of God and also a judgment of history on our actions from which we cannot escape" (Angelus, September 1, 2013), confirming that it is never the use of violence that brings peace, but that violence calls for violence!

Since the beginning of the conflict, the Holy See has been sensitive to the cry for help which reached it from the Syrian people, in particular from the Christians, not failing immediately to manifest clearly its position, characterized, as in other cases, by the consideration of the centrality of the human person -- regardless of his ethnic group or religion � and of the search for the common good of the whole society. Suffice it to recall here, first of all, the heartbroken appeals of Benedict XVI on the occasion of the Urbi et orbi Message and of his addresses to the Diplomatic Corps
