Pope: the tombs cry out for peace, stop arms manufacturers

(ANSA) - ROME, 02 NOV - "These graves are a message of peace: stop brothers and sisters, stop manufacturers give me, stop!": Pope Francis said this in the homily of the Mass at the French military cemetery in Rome.

"These tombs cry for peace" and we "fight sufficiently so that wars do not cease, so that the economies of the countries are not fortified with the arms industry?" Asked the Pope.

    Francis, in the Mass for the commemoration of the dead on November 2, again underlined that "war eats the children of the homeland".

"I am sure that all these who have gone in good will, called from the homeland to defend it, are with the Lord".

Then he added that before the Mass he stopped in front of a tomb bearing the inscription "inconnu", unknown, "not even the name", commented the Pope. "In the heart of God there is the heart of all of us but this is the tragedy of the war ", he stressed.
