Catholic and Enjoying It!
A reader writes:
You ask this question:
“Why are Catholics trying so hard to find justifications for war crimes when the Catechism is so bloody clear that torture is not justifiable and that prisoners are to be treated humanely?”
Why are you so afraid of posting comments on issues that you ban commenters who do not drink your kool aid.
If the post is harsh, make the argument against it unless you have no real arguments and operate simply on fear. JPII tried to tell you, do not be afraid.
Invoking JPII as the patron of torture apologetics is a form of chutzpah I’ve not seen before. The Catholic Right is catching the sickness from the shrinking wingnut Right. Sooner or later, these guys are going to have to decide whether they are going to be disciples of Christ or Movement Conservatism.
