#1 Killed more in the fire bombing of Tokyo that March. That was one month after the Rape of Manila where the Japanese killed even more civilians.

"So, moved by humane considerations, the Lateran Council, which advised the Pope on secular affairs, in 1139 declared the crossbow 'a weapon hateful to God.' The ban was observed unilaterally by Conrad III of Germany, who forbade its use in his armies for thirteen years, meanwhile trying to persuade other powers to do likewise. He failed, and by 1152 Conrad's soldiers were again using the crossbow."

#2 This priest is a duplicitous and foolish little man who opines on subjects of which he is embarrassingly ignorant.

None of which can hide the fact that he presides over an organization that for the better part of the last 60 years has engaged in an international conspiracy to shield known rapists and serial pedophiles from law enforcement across the civilized world.

His throne does not give him moral authority when it is used to protect what is for all intents and purposes a mafia-style crime syndicate.

#5 Ask Marines who were on Okinawa looking to the invasion of Japan as well as soldiers in Europe waiting for the opportunity to die in Japan.

Even in Japan in the terrible arithmetic of war, millions of Japanese were saved by avoiding the invasion.

Lighten up, Francis.

#11 I've said it before on the Burg, but in his biography Akira Kurasawa the very western director was ready to commit suicide once the Emperor gave the order. The nukes changed the emperors mind. The nukes saved the Japanese, more or less.
