Is The Iran War a Just War?

 

Is the Iran War a Just War? | DaveHeney.com

Many Church leaders are commenting on the present Iran war, including Pope Leo. This article presents the recent history of Iran and the classic Catholic Just War Principles. You can decide for yourself if they apply to the present Iran war. I hope you find the article helpful.

God Bless!

    Thank you, Father Dave!

    My husband and I find this information very helpful . Nobody likes war, but this information that you provided allows us to make up our own mind about this war. It gets confusing listening to everyone’s opinion, and not knowing the actual facts.

    Hi Father,
    I picked up your article at Mass this last Sunday. Great information. I find it so hard trying to figure out who is who over there. I don’t agree with the Pope but it’s not a game breaker with my Faith. I am hearing now that the Pope has clarified himself a little, saying he was not referring to Trump. I think It’s mandatory that Iran be taken out, for the safety of the entire world.
    Great article Father, Thanks!

    Excellent article Father Dave! Our precious God gave us life and no one has the right to take it! We believe this is a just war against Iran since they have taken so many lives! We have to protect the world from evil and overwhelm everyone now and in the future to live in Jesus’ love and peace! Preciously praying that we arrive at a just, moral agreement with Iran and peace to follow
    Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Franca and Dick

    Awesome, Fr Dave. You have a great way of summarizing complex issues….
