Pope Francis Links War Proliferation to Arms Profiteering

http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/francis-links-war-proliferation-arms-profiteering
'Is it really a war over problems or is it a commercial war to sell these arms on the black market?'
"There’s no point! It’s no good… This means, among other things, this war against evil means saying no to fratricidal hatred, and to the lies that it uses; saying no to violence in all its forms; saying no to the proliferation of arms and their sale on the black market. There are so many of them! There are so many of them! And the doubt always remains: this war over there, this other war over there – because there are wars everywhere – is it really a war over problems, or is it a commercial war, to sell these arms on the black market? These are the enemies we must fight, united and coherent, following no other interests but those of peace and of the common good."
