Abstract
"He acudido esta noche a este magnífico templo de oración porque mi conciencia no me deja otra alternativa. Me uno a todos ustedes porque estoy completamente de acuerdo con los objetivos y tareas que están desarrollando los organizadores de este encuentro, la asociación Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam (Clérigos y laicos preocupados por la situación en Vietnam). La reciente declaración de su comité ejecutivo refleja los sentimientos de mi propio corazón, y por eso coincido plenamente con dicha declaración cuando afirma que “llega un momento en que el silencio equivale a traición”. Dicho momento ha llegado para nosotros en relación con Vietnam. La verdad de estas palabras está fuera de toda duda. Sin embargo, más complicada resulta la misión que hemos de desempeñar. Incluso cuando se encuentran bajo la presión de las demandas de la verdad interior, a los hombres no les resulta sencilla la tarea de oponerse a la política que están llevando a cabo sus propios gobiernos, especialmente en tiempo de guerra. Tampoco se expresa el espíritu humano, si no es con grandes esfuerzos, contra la apatía conformista del propio pensamiento y el mundo circundante. Además, cuando los asuntos más inmediatos se presentan tan confusos como en el caso de este espantoso conflicto, estamos al borde de dejarnos confundir por la incertidumbre. Pero debemos seguir avanzando. Algunos de los que hemos comenzado a romper el silencio de la noche nos hemos dado cuenta de que la necesidad de manifestar nuestra opinión es a menudo una vocación de agonía" ["I have come tonight to this magnificent house of worship because my conscience leaves me no other choice. I join all of you because I completely agree with the objectives and tasks that are developing the organizers of this meeting, the Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam (Clergy and laity concerned about the situation in Vietnam) Association. The recent statement of your executive committee reflects the sentiments of my own heart, so I fully agree with that statement when he says that "there comes a time when silence is betrayal." That time has come for us in relation to Vietnam. The truth of these words is beyond doubt. However, it is the most complicated mission we have to play. Even when under pressure from the demands of inner truth, men do not find it easy the task of opposing the policy that are conducting their own governments, especially in wartime. Nor does the human spirit is expressed, if not with great effort against the apathy of conformist thought itself and the surrounding world. Furthermore, when the most immediate issues are presented as confusing as in the case of this dreadful conflict, we are on the verge of be misled by uncertainty. But we must go further. Some who have begun to break the silence of the night we realized that the need to express our opinion is often a vocation of agony"]
