Veritas et Sapientia-The Humanity of ‘Muricah Was Lost When The Hiroshima Bomb Detonated

Mandeville, LA – As part of the Mike Church Show and the Veritas Radio Network’s symposium on the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, we present a collection of quotes of what was really lost that day.

“And is anything saved? We cannot be sure. True, there are a few buildings left standing around, but what kind of animal is going to inhabit them? I have become convinced in the past few years that the essence of civilization is ethical (with perhaps some helping out from aesthetics). And never has the power of ethical discrimination been as low as it is today. The atomic bomb was a final blow to the code of humanity. I cannot help thinking that we will suffer retribution for this. For a long time to come I believe my chief interest is going to be the restoration of civilization, of the distinctions that make life intelligible”. – Richard Weaver

“At 8:15 in the morning, the 6th of August, 1945, when, our plane dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, it blotted out boundaries. There was no longer a boundary between the military and the civilian, between the helper and the helped, between the wounded and the nurse and the doctor, and the living and the dead. For even the living who escaped the bomb were already half dead. So we broke down boundaries and limits and from that time on the world has said we want no one limiting me. … You want no restraint, no boundaries. I have to do what I want to do.” – Venerable Fulton Sheen

“Two cities will forever have their names linked together, two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as the only cities in the world that have had the ill fortune to be a reminder that man is capable of destruction beyond belief. Their names will forever stand out as the names of the only cities in our time that have been singled out as a warning to future generations that war can destroy human efforts to build a world of peace.” – Saint John Paul II
