SUMMARY:80 Years Later\, Remembering and Repenting The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
DESCRIPTION:Via Pat Ferrone\, St. Susanna Pax Christi \n“The first use of an atomic bomb\, “Little Boy\,” was exploded over Hiroshima\, Japan on August\n6\, 1945. Its explosive power immediately annihilated between 70\,000 and 80\,000 human\nbeings\, and maimed uncountable others. By the end of 1945\, 140\,000 were dead. Just 3 days\nlater\, knowing the effects of the first bomb\, “Fat Man” was dropped on Nagasaki\, killing 40\,000\npeople instantly\, with estimates of up to 100\,000 dead within 5 years: innocent men\, women\nand children. Years later\, Albert Einstein was to lament what he believed was his contribution to\nthese horrific events. He wrote\, “If I had foreseen Hiroshima and Nagasaki\, I would have torn\nup my formula in 1905.” \nNow\, eighty years later\, with nine nuclear nations possessing enough nuclear weapons to\ncause the deaths of millions and millions of people\, the devastation of our global home\, the\ndestruction of cultures\, and nuclear winter\, we raise our voices to plead for the only sane\noption available to us: that nuclear weapons be banished from this earth\, beginning with our\nvery own efforts in the United States. Currently\, we are pursuing a program to update our\nnuclear arsenal\, at a staggering cost of $1.7 trillion over 30 years. \nOn Wednesday\, August 6\, at 4:30 pm\, a program planned by the St. Susanna Pax Christi\nGroup\, will take place on the Dedham Town Green to remember the world-shattering events of\nAugust 6 and 9\, 1945. Part of the program will be a shared reading of “Original Child Bomb\,”\nwritten in 1962 by Thomas Merton\, Trappist monk. We will lament the past\, and acknowledge\nthe present danger of a nuclear exchange. This year\, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set\nthe “Doomsday Clock” at 89 seconds to midnight – the closest ever to human extinction.\nPlease join us as we commit ourselves to urge our government\, and the world\, to move “Back\nfrom the Brink” of nuclear war.” \n
