Pope Warns World Is Close To Nuclear War

Pope Francis has said he is afraid about the danger of nuclear war and that the world now stood at “the very limit”.

His comment, made as he flew to Chile and Peru, came after the Hawaii issued a fake rocket warning that triggered panic in the US state and highlighted the risk of a possible unintentional nuclear war with North Korea.  When asked if he was concerned about the possibility of a nuclear war, Pope Francis said, "I think we are at the border. I'm really scared of this. An accident is enough to fine things up." He did not mention Hawaii or North Korea.  Pope Francis often noted the danger of nuclear warfare, and in November he felt hardened by teaching the Catholic Church against nuclear weapons, stating that countries should not stock them for intimidation either. While journalists boarded Chile, the Vatican officials provided a photograph taken in 1945 showing a young Japanese boy carrying a dead brother on his shoulders after a nuclear attack on Nagasaki.

“I was moved when I saw this. The only thing I could think of adding were the words ‘the fruit of war’,” Francis said, referring to a caption put on the back of the image.

“I wanted to have it reprinted and distributed because an image like this can be more moving than a thousand words. That is why I wanted to share it with you,” he said. #Africa ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
