Nikki Haley, the U.S. representative to the UN, said she would love to have a ban on nuclear weapons, but in this day and time we cant honestly say we can protect our people by allowing bad actors to have them and those of us that are good trying to keep peace and safety not to have them, specifically mentioning the threat of nuclear-armed North Korea.
Nikki Haley has more common sense than Bergoglio.

Not all nukes...just the ones held by Russia,China,North Korea,Pakistan and Iran.The others serve to make large scale wars (like WWII) very,very unlikely.World history since 1945 proves that to be true.

Go away, Popey. Time for you to hunker down in the library. You could read FACTS or study the Catechism or pray. Just stay OUT of the public eye.

Frank Herbert grasped mutually-assured destruction very well in his Dune books. Every great house has a secret stockpile of "family atomics": to be possessed but NEVER used. Doing so is open invitation for every other house to rain down nuclear fire and not even the otherwise neutral Spacing Guild would come to assist the house that violated the ban. It would be an act of guaranteed suicide, and everyone... even the loathsome Harkonnens... knows it.
It keeps the peace. The houses have to wage war with other means like poison and remote-operated drones. But the number of civilian deaths is kept at practically nil.
Why the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, allegedly one of the wisest individuals on the planet, cannot understand this principle is mind-boggling.

Since when having a weapon made some one go to hell?
This Pope is a communist.

Maybe he could start with pedophila within the church. Once he fixes that he can work on corruption within the vatican bank.
If he’s successful and still around (unlike John Paul I), then maybe he can have a seat at the table.

I’m Catholic. The Pope is chosen by men. No man is infallible.
John Paul II was wise (though he turned the other way on child abuse) and he helped Reagan and Thatcher bring down the USSR.
This guy, he’s trying to bring it back :)

Send this silly fraud to lecture Kim Ung Dung in person.
Then have him report back to us in 30 or 40 years.

Next, he’ll want us to give up our guns, too. Marxist.
