Pope John Paul opposed it as well

Could you provide the actual text of Pope John Paul II opposing the Iraq War as an unjust war? Thanks.

Reading is a skill. Where did my post say it was an unjust war. The Pope spoke out against the war. It is what the Pope does. When you are a man of peace you usually speak out against. A lot of people followed the Pontiffs lead by voicing opposition to military action.

He was a pacifist and he thought there were better ways to resolve this problem. On this issue I declare him to be wrong.
