Ahead of the Holy Father, Pope Francis' visit to Nagasaki and Hiroshima this Sunday as part of his trip to Japan, much attention has been given to his message for peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons.
Of course, sending out these messages of peace from the actual cities hit by atomic bombs in 1945 would have a deep impact on people all over the world and the general public in Japan. I should think that the government of Japan would want someone like the Holy Father, with a strong moral voice, to take a clear position against nuclear weapons and speak out from there.
