Pope Francis discussed his fears of nuclear war while on his way to Chile on Monday.
The pontiff distributed a picture he described as "the fruit of war" and marked with his own signature to raise awareness about the dangers of nuclear conflict. The photo was captured by American photographer Joseph Roger O' Donnell and shows a Japanese boy carrying his dead younger brother on his shoulders following the U.S. atomic bombing of Nagazaki.
"I found it by chance" the pope told reporters, quoted in Italian news agency Ansa. "Such image moves more than a thousand words. And I wanted to share it with you," he said.
