I fear however, you have been inattentive. I have retracted only my specific call for nuclear annihilation of the capitals of our enemies, and raised the question of the appropriate Christian response. Please read some of my later posts on the thread.
don-o in obedience to his bishop is arguing against war, though not quite for pacifism.
I, following my bishop, am calling on us to wage war righteously, and asking my fellow Christians at FR to think with me what, in detail, that means. You will notice if you read my posts later on the thread that I have in mind actually addressing not whether, but how Christians ought fight a war against our current foe.
That is not correct.
I am not arguing against war, nor is my bishop. What I am asking for is a sober and considered understanding of what we may and may not do and say as Chrristians.
Abp Laurus call first of all, for my own repentance for my sins, and to love those around me, including my enemies.
-Pray, for all of us
-Follow the leader God has given us. It's not our call how we fight it, but we should pray that we're under His wings as we do.
