Dare to Be Catholic 

Dear Editor: Catholic social teaching condemns the use of nuclear weapons, as they indiscriminately kill children, the disabled, the elderly. 

But not all say no to the “mere” possession of them. While it received scant attention in the U.S., the U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear weapons, signed by 93 nations was signed by the Vatican but not the U.S., which is increasing its nuclear stockpile. 

Thanks to the article (“US, Japanese Bishops Hail UN Summit on Prohibiting Nukes,” Dec. 2) by John Lavenburg, The Tablet, self-labeled “The Pro-Life Newspaper,” we can, if we dare, forsake American simplicities and pursue Catholic Christian depth.
