HARROWING IMAGE OF NAGASAKI VICTIMS FROM POPE COMES AMID HEATED TENSIONS BETWEEN U.S. AND NORTH KOREA
The distribution of the cars suggests the Pope believes the message is especially important at this time of year and comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. Left: U.S. President Donald Trump and right: North Korea's leader Kim Jong UnThe harrowing cards comes after the Pope told an anti-nuclear weapon conference that the possession of nuclear weapons was now 'irrational'.In November, the Pontiff said: 'We're at the limit of licitly having and using nuclear arms.'Why? Because today, such sophisticated nuclear arsenals risk destroying humanity or at least a great part of it.CNN's senior Vatican analyst John Allen wrote on his website: 'Though release of the photo in the run-up to New Year's does not add anything substantive to the pontiff's positions, it's nevertheless the first time Francis has asked that a specific image be circulated in the holiday season, suggesting he believes its message is especially relevant at the moment.'It comes amid continuing heated rhetoric between the U.S. and North Korea.'Today, is it legitimate to keep nuclear arsenals as they are? Or to save creation, to save humanity today, isn't it necessary to go back?' Pope Francis added.The Vatican City was also said to be desperately attempting to open a dialogue between Pyongyang and the Holy See, the Express reported last month.Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana, head of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, said: 'The dicastery is already in communication with the Korean episcopal conference to see how we may have contact also with the regime on the other side.'We are exploring the possibilities of speaking to them directly. We cannot say right now exactly when this contact will happen.'
