The Church has addressed nuclear weapons numerous times, and, at the links below, you may view some of the statements of the Secretary of State for the Vatican made at the United Nations. Below is a paragraph from The Catechism of the Catholic Church which specifically addresses weapons, including nuclear weapons.
from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
"Every act of war directed to the indiscriminate destruction of whole cities or vast areas with their inhabitants is a crime against God and man, which merits firm and unequivocal condemnation." (Gaudium
et
Spes
80, section 3) A danger of modern warfare is that it provides the opportunity to those who possess modern scientific weapons - especially atomic, biological, or chemical weapons - to commit such crimes.

Why do Methodist say believe in the holly Catholic church when saying the Apostles Creed?
The " catholic " in the creed has a lower case C..... therefore this is the universal church, not the actual Catholic Church. So catholic = Universal Church Catholic = The Catholic Church ( The one with the Pope )

Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?
The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.

When did the catholic church start According to evangelicals?

Why do Anglicans still say in their creed that they believe in the catholic church?
When they say in the Apostles creed "I believe in the holy Catholic church" they don't mean the Roman Catholic church, which is odd in that the Roman (Latin rite) Catholic church is the TRUE church. If they were to say the Nicene creed which goes.....I believein one holy Catholic and apostolic church....they would have a problem in that they are not apostolic, that is not ordained directly in line from the apostles which catholic priests are. Realising this the Anglicans have changed the definition of Apostolic to mean following the gospel message(s) as originally preached by the apostles. In short Anglicans (low church, liberal church and hight church) are really protestants pretending to be Catholics.

How does it make you feel to know that most of the nuclear weapons in the Soviet and US arsenals remain ready for use even in the post-Cold War era?
Actually this is false most of the Cold War era nuclear weapons have been destroyed.At the peak of the Cold War the U.S. had about 10,000 strategic and 20,000 tactical nuclear weapons and the USSR had about 10,000 strategic and 30,000 tactical nuclear weapons.Following the signing of START both sides agreed to destroy all tactical nuclear weapons and reduce strategic nuclear weapons slowly over a period of time.At this time both the U.S. and Russia have about 3,500 strategic nuclear weapons each and no tactical nuclear weapons (although some people say that Russia secretly maintains about 1,000 tactical nuclear weapons).So, from a peak of about 70,000 nuclear weapons during the Cold War to about 7,000 nuclear weapons now, only about 10% of the weapons then available still remain ready for use.
What does it mean to say the Church subsists in the Catholic Church?
It means that the 4 marks of the Church as spelled out in the Nicene Creed - One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic - are found only in the Catholic Church. Other sects may have one, two or three of these marks but only the Catholic Church possesses all four.
