Cardinal-elect Isao Kikuchi, Archbishop of Tokyo, called on Japan’s government to become the first nation to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons., the prelate urged Japanese leaders to move forward with the treaty, emphasizing the unique position Japan holds as the only country to have suffered atomic bombings.

The political shift introduces a phase of uncertainty for a country historically marked by stability, according to analysts. “As the Catholic Church we actively ask for the abolition, especially during the annual ten days of prayer for peace in August,” Archbishop Kikuchi added. “Pope John Paul II made a historic visit to Hiroshima in 1981, launching a strong message for peace. The Japanese Bishops were encouraged by this message from the Pope and thus established the ten days of prayer for peace,” the Archbishop noted.
