Pope Francis and the Morality of Nuclear Weapons

Stephanie Foleyby Stephanie Foley

Pope Francis recently said at a conference that it is immoral for nations to possess nuclear weapons. Up to now, the Church has appeared to tolerate the possession of nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence, but now Pope Francis has stepped forward and said that the threat of their use and their mere possession is to be firmly condemned.

Monsignor Stuart Swetland, Relevant Radio’s Chief Religion Correspondent, joins The Drew Mariani Show to discuss this bold statement from Pope Francis, and explain the Catholic Church’s stance on the morality of nuclear weapons.
