Rest In Peace, Pope Francis: As a human being of deep faith and compassion, Pope Francis was a true visionary in moving the Catholic Church from conditional acceptance of so-called “deterrence” to outright rejection of nuclear weapons as immoral. As we approach the 80th anniversaries of the Trinity Test and the atomic bombings, we need to really take his teachings to heart and work toward a future world free of nuclear weapons. Some might say this is naive. Pope Francis would point out it’s naive to think we can live with nuclear weapons forever.
