Catholic bishops in Japan have called for the prohibition of nuclear weapons as they announced a 10-day prayer program marking the anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. “Protecting all life makes peace,” said the message from Archbishop Mitsuaki Takami of Nagasaki, president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan, announcing the prayer program from Aug. 6-15. Each year from the date of the Hiroshima bombing, Aug. 6, to Aug. 15, when Japan surrendered in the Second World War, the Church marks Ten Days of Prayer for Peace with special prayers, workshops and other activities directed toward peace.
