Pope Leo XIV Quotes Bob Dylan Song in Book Foreword Calling for Nuclear Disarmament
- The Vatican issued a statement today emphasizing that peace is built through disarmament rather than nuclear weapons, urging nations to reject violence.
- Pope Francis coined the term "third world war fought piecemeal" to describe widespread conflict; today, 103 States face war across Ukraine, the Middle East, Sudan, Myanmar, Yemen, and Congo.
- After the consequences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the recourse to war is an "adventure with no return," as Saint John Paul II stressed. History shows we narrowly avoided nuclear catastrophe when Soviet official Stanislav Petrov disobeyed orders to signal a false missile launch.
- Alongside renowned figures, Dorothy Day and God Giorgio fostered peace as "little-known protagonists" through daily actions; peace requires truth and small gestures, as even those making war claim to act in its name.
- The Church urges believers to reject mediocrity and embrace non-violence, following Jesus Christ's message: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." By living this teaching, individuals become builders of peace.
