Vatican paper raps Sri Lanka on Israeli aid (correction)

Vatican, Dec. 30, 2004 (CWNews.com) - The following is a corrected
version of a story that appeared on CWNews.com earlier this week, in
which a crucial error in translation caused a serious
misinterpretation of the news. CWNews apologizes for the error.

Vatican, Dec. 28 (CWNews.com) - The Vatican newspaper has denounced a
decision by Sri Lanka to reject emergency aid offered by the Israeli
government. Sri Lanka declined the Israeli aid because it would have
been furnished by a military team.

Calling for "a radical and dramatic change of perspective" among
people "too often preoccupied with making war," L'Osservatore Romano
chastised the government of the stricken Asian nation for putting
unnecessary restrictions on an Israeli offer to furnish medical help.

The Vatican paper observed that in what "should be a time for
unconditional solidarity," some world leaders seem incapable of
escaping a "small-minded approach that restricts their horizons." The
suffering caused by the tsunami has created "a mass of deaths, across
borders," L'Osservatore observed. The fact that the devastation swept
across different societies, cultures, and nations should help to
reinforce the universal perspective, the paper suggested.
