Well then I don't know what the answer is. I supported the war 100%, but I would be very unfomfortable with a Pope who advocated military force. That's not what Popes are for.

Catholics believe that there is such a thing as a just war - even an obligation to wage one in certain circumstances.

If there ever were a clear, unambiguous example of such a war, I would hope that the Holy Father would support it.
