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."

    Nice! But I would’ve much preferred that the actual pope at this time – Pope Benedict the 16th – had delivered this address.

    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.
