TOKYO - Pope Francis has told Japanese Emperor Naruhito that he remembers seeing his parents cry over the news of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 74 years ago.
The pope traveled on Sunday to the two Japanese cities, where he urged world powers to renounce their nuclear arsenals and declared the use and possession of atomic bombs an immoral crime.
Palace officials say the pope told the emperor on Monday that he recalled the memory of his parents sorrow when he addressed survivors of the atomic bombings in the two cities.
Naruhito told Francis that he has high respect for the popes efforts on behalf of world peace and peoples happiness.
The emperor is a symbol of the nation and has no direct political power.
Japan says it seeks a nuclear-free world but still depends on U.S. nuclear deterrence because of the worsening security environment in the region.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga made the comments Monday, a day after Francis demanded in Nagasaki and Hiroshima that world powers renounce their nuclear arsenals and declared that the use and possession of atomic bombs was immoral.

Franky either doesnt understand, or doesnt care, that upwards of half a million American lives and probably 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 Japanese lives were saved by killing approximately 250,000 people with atomic bombs. It wasnt a good choice, but given that there was only a choice between those two alternatives, President Truman made the right choice.
Further, without the existence of large numbers of nuclear weapons that we and the Russians were pointing at each other, it is fairly likely that there wouldve been a third world war sometime in the 1960s or 70s, which would have been far more bloody than World War II. Assholes like this guy dont think below the first layer of the onion. It shows a subpar intelligence.
Worse.
They would have let them drive.
ROFLMAO
That’s so bad but so funny :)
I cried over the news reels of Japanese burying the people of Nanjing alive and jumping on the soil to pack it down.
After seventy years, those images are still burned in my brain.
So, what? That was over 70 years ago! The bombings were necessary.
I want to hear his popenesses’ take on the Holocaust and the exploitation of children (boys especially) around the planet.
Talk about being Soros’ puppet.
The Francis had long ago declared the death penalty to be immoral in all cases (contradicting his pre-conciliar predecessors); and more recently, that even life imprisonment is immoral.
Tell this Anti-P0pe that parents cried right here in America when Pearl Harbor was attacked. We lost a lot of good men and women that day. Unprovoked, deadly attack against the United States.
Yes.
And the children.
They would tie our air men to a post in the school yard, hand out knives to the kids and tell them, "Take your revenge."
Meanwhile in Nanking.
The USAAF under Curtis LeMay was superheating cities for months before the Bombs were ever shipped to the Marianas; the firebombing of Tokyo in March of 45 killed more people than the Bomb dropped on Nagasaki.
The mystery to the US military at the time would have been why anyone was raising a fuss about it; the atomic bombs were simply a continuation of a months-long campaign that simply left a smaller carbon footprint.
When the children cry let them know we tried
When the children fight let them know it ain’t right
When the children pray let them know the way
‘Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
I know what youre thinking but he has filled the Vatican with fellow travelers so his replacement will probably be more of the same.
Can a pope be a malignancy on civil society ? Just askin’.
Has there ever been a more anti-American pope?
Did they cry over Japanese crimes against humanity?
I completely believe I owe my life to the atom bomb. Grandpa would have been in the invasion force.
FOAD Antichrist.
The Japanese leadership used the same vehicle of religion as Jorge to hoist themselves as divine entities over their people. In the Japanese case, Emperor Hirohito used his “divinity” to justify his murderous actions against America. With Jorge, he has also elevated himself as divinely justified, to attack America; represented by Donald Trump. By turning world opinion against President Trump, he is turning the world against the American people. Roman Catholics should have a mechanism to impeach this impostor.
Did they cry over the bombing of Pearl Harbor? The rape of Nanking? The Bataan Death March? Japanese brutality in Korea, China, and Philippines? How about Unit 731?
Did they cry over the bombing of London? Warsaw? Antwerp?
Well?
Did they?
What say you, Frankie, old chap?
They told him of their homes and loved ones.
They told him that they'd like to be there.
I believe the bomb that struck Hiroshima
Was the answer to our fighting boys' prayers.
