Pope Francis told reporters over the weekend that a nuclear war between the United States and North Korea could destroy a « large part of humanity. »
According to CNN, the pope was traveling from Egypt to Italy when he echoed earlier remarks about the danger of a « piecemeal third world war. »
« It’s piecemeal but the pieces are getting larger, and are concentrated in places which were already hot, » Pope Francis explained. « Today a wider war would destroy, I won’t say half of humanity, but a large part of humanity and culture.
