Nuclear weapons are a faith issue
God bless the bomb?
It depends who you ask.
Russian priests bless nuclear missiles
Pro-nuclear activists talk openly about the need for “faith” in nuclear deterrence
…but most religious leaders condemn nuclear weapons as immoral and illegal
Pope Francis says…
“…Nor can we fail to be genuinely concerned by the catastrophic humanitarian and environmental effects of any employment of nuclear devices. If we also take into account the risk of an accidental detonation as a result of error of any kind, the threat of their use, as well as their very possession, is to be firmly condemned. For they exist in the service of a mentality of fear that affects not only the parties in conflict but the entire human race…
At the same time, a healthy realism continues to shine a light of hope on our unruly world. Recently, for example, in a historic vote at the United Nations, the majority of the members of the international community determined that nuclear weapons are not only immoral, but must also be considered an illegal means of warfare.”
