In annual speech Pope urges dialogue in Korea nuclear ban
French President Emmanuel Macron is trying to breathe new life in the agreement after Trump announced that the United States would withdraw.
Francis then quoted his predecessor Saint John XXIII, the architect of current papal policy of non-violence, who said: "The stockpiles of armaments which have been built up in various countries must be reduced all round and simultaneously by the parties concerned".
The Pope added that Vatican City was among 122 countries that supported a United Nations treaty past year to ban nuclear weapons, and said "nuclear weapons must be banned".
And while praising the development of human rights, the Pope said these were routinely discarded when it came to abortion.
The adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons a year ago shows how the desire for peace continues to be alive in the world, he said. Francis is also bishop of the Italian capital.

The Pope made the sign of the cross on the forehead of each child, and helped siblings do the same to their younger brother or sister.
"We need the Holy Spirit to transmit the faith, or else we can't do it", he said, adding that to transmit the faith "is a grace of the Holy Spirit". "Climate changes, with the global rise in temperatures and their devastating effects, are also a outcome of human activity", he said. We must not forget this language of children, to communicate like they do.
Therefore, people must work together, he said, including by upholding commitments agreed upon in the 2015 Paris Accord, and leave "to coming generations a more attractive and livable world", he said.
