Pope to visit Japan Nov 23-26

Francis has repeatedly called for a world without nuclear weapons.

That would be great. I hope his efforts are successful.

Unfortunately that won't happen. Man is an animal, an animal that loves to fight. Best of luck to the pope though.

Why Japan? There are virtually no catholics in this country, yes virtually none. Why not Philippines for example which has a huge catholic population. So he is in Japan because Abe wanted a photo op and wanted the pope to preach an anti nuclear gospel non believers?
