CALL FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS
According to the news in Vatican News, the official publication of the Vatican, in his message, the Pope called on societies to eliminate nuclear weapons and use conventional weapons only for self-defense.
“While our world continues to be in the grip of the third world war, which is being waged piecemeal, in the tragic situation of the conflict in Ukraine, the threat of resorting to nuclear weapons is not absent,” the Pope said.
Pope Francis noted that the current situation reminds us of the time when the world was on the verge of a nuclear war, as in the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.
The spiritual leader of Catholics stated that a world free of nuclear weapons is possible and necessary.
The Pope underlined that conventional weapons should be used only for defensive purposes and not against civilian targets. (AA)
