Pope Francis – at Hiroshima and Nagasaki – speaks on the gross immorality of nuclear weapons.

Pope francis at Nagasaki

I am not sure where he stopped first (UPDATE – stopped at Nagasaki first) – these are each three minutes long. The first is at Hiroshima – 80,000 instant deaths and 60,000 later. 

 

And here he's at Nagasaki – by the way, the center of Catholicism in Japan and a place where many were martyred in past centuries. The bomb landed on the edge of the Catholic enclave, killing 40% of the Catholics in Nagasaki. According to the WSJ "The pope also visited a memorial in Nagasaki for 26 missionaries and Japanese Catholics who were crucified during a crackdown on the religion in the 16th century."

  1. How great and marvelous it would’ve been if only someone had dropped another “Fat Man” on Antipope Bergoglio when he was in Nagasaki! I mean a real fat man, like a falling Sumo Wrestler; NOT an atomic bomb. What a lost opportunity.
