… Church teaching has long allowed for “just wars” — the use of force to stop an unjust aggression — as long as certain conditions are met.
But participants at a conference sponsored by the Vatican’s justice and peace office and Pax Christi, the Catholic peace movement, said in a final communiqué Thursday that too often the doctrine had been used to justify and endorse military action rather than prevent it. …

Does that mean unjust wars are back in play?
Mr. Pope....
Tear down your walls, put up or shut up you marxist jack-ass
If these clowns were around centuries ago there would be no Catholic Church left. We would be praying towards Mecca.
You said it.
These freaks are the more disgusting considering what is happening to the ancient Christian communities in the Middle East being wiped out by ISIS. If there is a conflict that fits the Just War doctrine that is it.
Right, so when terrorist take down Vatican walls with bombs and attempt assassination Pope Francis will come out and say capturing terrorist even in that case would be unjust?
Pope Francis is the first Jesuit Pope, and he'll be the only Jesuit Pope.
So when the Muzzie barbarians are at the Vatican’s gates, we shouldn’t try to drive them off? Ok, Frankie.
Nope. Go pound it commie popo.
Take the vatican walls down and then talk about stupid crap like this.
Wait til ISIS hit the Vatican and Kills the Pope—the prediction that he is the Last Pope may well come true. St. Peters will become a mosque, all art painted out. How far Western Europe has come? Watch as this stuff stimulates a blacklash and Europe will go Facicst or Communist—or a Napoleon will rise to fix things.
Another Napoleon is an interesting idea.
Two just wars, heroically led by the RC Church in the 16th and 17 centuries, the ones culminating in the battle of Lepanto and the 1683 battle of Vienna, saved Western Civilization from radical Islamic conquest. Well, Popey, how do you feel about those two??
So much for “give me liberty or give me death”.
The commies want us to roll over and submit to them, just as the Muzzies do. Freedom is worth fighting for . . . some idiots won’t realize it until they no longer have it.
Vatican conference urges complete surrender to Muslim supremacist barbarians.
The title was wrong, so I fixed it.
The Poop and everyone else in the VatiCAN deserve to have their heads chopped off by muzzies for spreading propaga telling Christians to not fight back and to continue being slaughtered by islamic demons.
without the teaching about just wars and self-defense, there’d be no Church today
Francis would expect no less from the Swiss Guard, I imagine.
