Stop a Nuclear Arms Race

January 02, 2026

By Tracy Abler, Justice Coordinator

January 1 is World Day of Peace, an annual celebration by the Catholic Church.

In his message for World Day of Peace, Pope Leo describes the peace of Christ as “unarmed and disarming.” He presents a call to action centered on the concept of “disarmament” - not just of weapons, but of the human heart and modern technology. This prophetic call to action is what the world desperately needs right now - a world on the brink of a new nuclear arms race.
