" "Cardinal Gugerotti: I get the impression that very often the West, with all its sophistication, is accustomed to talking as if we were a group of old ladies playing bridge on an island surrounded by caimans. Journalist: You mean, from a position that is a little too "comfortable"? Cardinal Gugerotti: Yes, we are used to not having wars that directly involve us, but we could have them the day after tomorrow, and in any case they are already within our borders. All the conditions are there. The Pope often speaks of a war in pieces, and now the pieces are in danger of coming together very easily.

What emerges from this brief but well-documented summary is that Rome has always been home to a significant number of Easterners and Eastern communities. This applies not only to the Empire but also to the Church. The Roman Church was heavily populated by Eastern communities that preserved their distinctiveness for a long time. Readers may be surprised to learn that eleven popes were Greek and almost ten were Syriac. This means that their presence was not marginal. Rome, caput mundi, was also a city in which Easterners identified themselves as integrated into its fabric, and not simply as small communities of emigrants.
Io ho l'impressione che molto spesso l’Occidente, con tutte le sue sofisticazioni, sia abituato a parlare come se fossimo un gruppo di vecchie signore che giocano a bridge su un’isola circondata dai caimani. Giornalista: Intende dire, da una posizione un po’ troppo "comoda"? Cardinale Gugerotti: Sì, siamo abituati a non avere guerre che ci coinvolgano direttamente, ma potremmo averle dopodomani e comunque stanno già dentro i nostri territori. Ci sono tutti i presupposti. Il Papa parla spesso di guerra a pezzi, e adesso i pezzi rischiano di comporsi molto facilmente.

Siamo tornati alla legge della giungla, ben rappresentata con armi molto moderne ma è la legge della clava. Speravamo che soprattutto con l’Umanesimo, il Rinascimento e le grandi culture dell'antichità fosse stata superata, ma ci accorgiamo che per il momento non è così. [...] La sensazione è che l'odio sia cresciuto in maniera esponenziale in questi ultimi tempi. Il problema delicato è che non esiste un'istanza internazionale capace di mediare. Esistono singole istanze che decidono di essere i padroni del mondo. Questa è un'altra questione. Questo non è lo spirito con cui sono state create le Nazioni Unite o altre organizzazioni e neanche l'Unione Europea, per dire la verità. C’è una forte debolezza istituzionale nelle organizzazioni internazionali.
