Q

What are the reasons that the church is against weapons of mass destruction?(WMDs)

A

it creates fear as countries with weaker economies feel they have to protect themselves
the cost of researching, building and maintaning nuclear weapons takes a huge amount of money (the money could be spent elsewhere)
the effects are disproportionate (the initial effects & the escalation that will follow)
it is an indiscriminate way of killing
innocents die, long term impacts & effects on future generations
Pope Benedict XVI “no victors only victims’
the possibility of success is small
