Pope Francis Pope took the Vatican's last sermon just before the beginning of the new Year 2018 on Sunday evening, to talk about the brutality of nuclear war, recommending the printing and distribution of a picture dating back to 1945 of a
small victim of the Nagasaki atomic bomb.
The photograph, a Japanese city bombed by the United States a short time before the end of the World War, shows second, a young boy carrying the corpse of his deceased brother on the back to be buried, and in the words of Pope Francis "the Fruit of war".
During the New Year's Eve Mass at St. Peter's Cathedral, Francis said humans lost their lives in 2017 and abused it in many ways "through acts of death and through forms of lies and injustice."
"Wars are the most egregious expression of this repeated and strange arrogance," he said. The message comes from the greater ink amid mounting tension during the year, which is on the way to completion, between the United States and North Korea over Pyongyang's nuclear missile test.
