Pope Francis urged authorities in Japan to include human ecology in their efforts to protect the environment, including “confronting the growing gap between rich and poor in a global economic system that enables a select few to dwell in opulence while the majority of the world's population lives in poverty.”
The Holy Father continued to pray for peace Sunday, calling for an end to war and the threat of nuclear weapons.
The Holy Father spoke of and prayed for peace at the site of the World War II bombing.
‘I have come here as a pilgrim to pray, to confirm you in the faith, and to be confirmed by the faith of these brothers and sisters,’ he said.
