August 6 is the feast of the Transfiguration and this year it is also the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which was followed three days later by the bombing of Nagasaki. Those bombings ended World War 2 but began decades of terror as the fear of atomic power and the lust after it force us to confront humanity’s fascination with violence.Father William Grimm  shares some thoughts on this.
