HIROSHIMA, Japan - A picture is worth a thousand words which is one reason Pope Francis decided to issue his appeal for a ban on nuclear weapons from the only cities that have been attacked with atomic bombs.
But sometimes, four hundred words are worth more than an image, especially when they describe a “scene of hell.”
On Sunday afternoon in Hiroshima, Francis listened to Yoshiko Kajimoto, who was 14 years old when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city in World War II. She was some 1.5 miles from the epicenter of the blast.
She fainted soon after seeing “a blue light” through the window of the factory in which she was working. The entire building collapsed.
“There were people walking side by side like ghosts, people whose whole body was so burnt that I could not tell the difference between men and women, their hair standing on end, their faces swollen to double size, their lips hanging loose, with both hands held out with burnt skin hanging from them,” Kajimoto told the pope. “No one in this world can imagine such a scene of hell.”
“In the following days, white smoke was everywhere: Hiroshima had become a crematorium,” she said. “For a long time, I could not remove the bad smell of cremated people from my body and clothes.”

Is he going to condemn those who advocate open borders, yet live in walled cities?
Good, maybe the Chinese or the Russians will take him out. I’m sick of that loser.
There he goes again, teaching error.
The false pope creating doctrine and sin apart from God’s revelation.
Pope there is a difference between peaceful and stupid.
Pope in Japan Condemns Those Who Invoke Peace, but Keep Nuclear Arms
How about Bergoglio condeming those who threaten war (instead of peace) by building nuclear arsenals, i.e., North Korea?
Pope Francis willing to visit North Korea, Vatican official says
WWII has ALWAYS been considered a justifiable war by the Catholic Church until Francis came along. Francis, like every good commie, likes to target America for criticism. Dropping those bombs was absolutely the right thing to do. It ended the war and saved lives.
Pax superiore vi telarum.
I condemn those who preach love but facilitate the rape of children.
what a disappointment it is to see this man in the Vatican
(and especially after the last 2 or 3 pontiffs)
Japan probably murdered 10 million innocent civilians. That’s before you get to the war casualties.

We dropped a couple of atomic bombs to end a horrendous war in which Japanese war crimes are estimated to be between 3 to 14 million prisoners tortured to death. Case closed.
