Pope, at military cemetery, tells arms manufacturers: 'Stop!'
ROME - Pope Francis, in a visit to a military cemetery on the day Catholics remember their dead, on Tuesday urged arms manufacturers to "stop", because war "swallows up the children of the homeland".
"Not even a name. But in the heart of God there are all our names. This is the tragedy of war," he said in an improvised sermon. "These tombs are a message of peace. Stop brothers and sisters, stop. Stop, arms manufacturers, stop!" he said, calling those buried at the cemetery among the many "victims of war, which swallows up the children of the homeland".
