Santa Fe, New Mexico, Archbishop John Wester said in a letter that the resources used to create nuclear weapons should be used to address crises like poverty.

The Archbishop of the Santa Fe, New Mexico, Roman Catholic diocese released a letter Tuesday calling for nuclear disarmament around the world in the latest example of the church getting involved in the nuclear debate.

"We can no longer deny or ignore the extremely dangerous predicament of our human family and that we are in a new nuclear arms race far more dangerous than the first," he said."We need nuclear arms control, not an escalating nuclear arms race." The laboratory is planning to produce new plutonium cores for nuclear weapons, according to Wester's letter.
