[Mrs. Don-o]

On city=target bombing:

"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."

That, and this---"Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.--- were among the strongest moral statements to be issued in the 20th century by the Catholic Church.

Nonsense, on the first.

Thank goodness military leaders do not listen to the Vatican. In 1927, Congress tried to outlaw bombing of cities in wartime (Kellogg-Briand Act). A lot of good that did.

[Petronski]

Item one is garbage.

Yep. (This is to counteract the “nope” in the other comment)

I am against the death penalty also; but I understand you feel differently.
