Pope to list nuclear weapons as immoral in Catholic manual |
2019-11-27 |
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Pope Francis![]() announced on Tuesday he would declare the use and possession of nuclear weapons "immoral" in the Catholic Church’s official manual, after visiting the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki where atomic bombs were dropped during World War II. The cities are the only areas to have been targeted by nuclear weapons, the 1945 attacks by the United States killing 224,000 people. The catechism is the church’s official instruction book, which summarizes the principles of the faith. "I have said that the use of nuclear weapons is immoral," the pontiff told news hounds during his flight back to Rome. "This must go into the catechism of the Catholic Church, not just use but also possession," he said, adding that "a government’s madness can destroy humanity." |

#10 29. We prohibit under anathema that murderous art of crossbowmen and archers, which is hateful to God, to be employed against Christians and Catholics from now on.--Second Lateran Council – 1139 A.D. Didn't work then, either. |

#7 It's a good thing for the Pope that he doesn't have to solve any problems. Just point them out. |

#4 So, you going to classify the sun as immoral? What do you think is doing right now up there? Meanwhile hurling little lead projectiles is rather unnatural. |

#3 ...The last time the Church got involved with telling people how bad nuclear weapons are was in the 80s, and a bunch of people - myself included - left the church. I see they haven't gotten any smarter. Mike |
