The Catholic Archbishop for the American Armed Services (apparently they have that) has declared the war in Iran an "unjust war" and demanded all Catholic military personnel "do as little as possible".

He's calling for soldiers to essentially go on a slowdown strike.

The particular jackass in question is on Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who has served as the military chaplain's Bishop for 19 years and is the head of the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops, a radically leftist organization.

Buttholio told Face the Nation:

But a defensive strike is well within just war theory and always has been. Couple that with the facts on the ground - the Iranian regime had murdered 40,000 of their own people, has imposed extreme repressive control of their own people, has attempted to assassinate President Trump, has attacked Americans and Israelis repeatedly, and was then to the point where they, by their own admission, could build 11 atomic bombs. Not sure how much more you need before going to war.

He forgets that the Papacy called the First crusade because of the slaughter of 1.100 pilgrims on the road to Jerusalem, a pittance compared to the numbers slaughtered directly or indirectly by Iran.

And you don't wait with nuclear weapons; one such weapon could kill ten million people if it is detonated in the right spot.

This guy's head is buried soundly in his hindquarters.

Of course Broglio is taking his cue from Pope Leo the Chicken Hearted, who has condemned this war because, like, peace and stuff. Leo says God doesn't hear the prayers of those engaged in warfare. Funny; He Himself commanded Israel to go to war to drive out the Canaanites, and He even had the ban, which is where the Israelites were to slaughter every man, woman, and child, and even the animals, if a city did not submit and convert to Judaism. (When Saul violated the ban after taking a Canaanite town God was extremely displeased and smote him with insanity and his eventual demise at his own hand.) God very much hears the prayers of those who go to war, especially when it is a war as just as this one.

Leo called this war "scandal to the whole human family." Sorry, but Iranian Mullahs are NOT my family nor anyone else's, except maybe Beelzebub or Lucifer's. The real scandal is a man who heads up the largest religious denomination in the entire world being that stupid.

We have taken great pains to avoid hitting civilian targets, or infrastructure, and have mainly concentrated on military targets and the leadership. We are responding to decades of aggression from the Iranian revolution, and we are acting to prevent what could be a human catastrophe' of never seen proportions. Oh, and we are trying to help the Iranian People. Jesus would DEFINITELY approve of this.

The New Testament says quite plainly "the king is give the power of the sword to punish evildoers" and while that is about civil matters it was equally true in those days that the king had the power of the sword to punish foreign actors bent on doing evil. Iran is clearly doing evil.

Jesus was not a pacifist, never was. He didn't believe in never fighting. He thought that in INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS we should be forgiving but that in no way says we shouldn't fight to survive. In fact the Bible is clear Jesus will return not as a suffering servant but as the Lion of Judah, the "Great and Terrible King" who will smite our enemies "with great anger and furious wrath". He will return as a conqueror.

So what is Bishop Bro going to tell Jesus when Jesus asks him what he did? when Jesus asks how he helped the Iranian People? He'lll anser "Get out of my sight you hypocrite! For I was hungry and you gave me no food, thirsty and you gave me no drink, oppressed and you gave me no relief." This war in Iran is as much a mercy to the Iranian People as it is for the safety of the United States. As Christians we actually have a duty to wage this most just war.

But I guess the Israelis killed by the Iran-funded Hamas or the Marines killed in Beirut, or the Kobar towers dead, or the attempts on President Trump's life don't count as actual threats but are just "perceived" eh Father?

The Administration should remove this clown from his role, and if they have to leave the post empty.
