There hasn't been one and there won't be one. Those are for politicians generally or in the Church's case, for issues of grave import relating to the Catholic faith. See post #25, paragraph 2.
It would be a relief, to know that our Catholic brothers and sisters have the support of their church here on FR, being such a pro-2A site and all. Don't you agree?
A relief to whom? Americans are constantly and vociferously angry at the Vatican over something or other. If it's not guns, it's the birth control issue or abortion or homosexuality. The noise of the pro-2A cohort is hardly audible in Rome over all the other screaming coming from this side of the Atlantic.
Most people are aware of the Church's teaching on this issue, I think, and anyone with a genuine interest in what the church teaches about the right to self defense can find it HERE.
Again, how best to implement this teaching in the civic arena is a prudential matter, which is just one more reason why Lombardi's statement will be allowed to stand.
I see.
So, it’s regarded as a matter of little import, not warranting clarification.
That is a pity. The 2nd Amendment is the means of last resort to support all the other rights so defined.
