“There is no such thing as a just war: they do not exist!”
ROME — Pope Francis said Friday that we are used to reading about wars happening far away, but now, the war in Ukraine is “on our doorstep.”that the war in Ukraine proves how savage human beings can be, up to the point of becoming “murderers of our brothers.”
This “makes us think about the ‘savagery’ of human nature, how far we are capable of going,” he continued. “Murderers of our brothers.” The Christian faith obliges believers to get involved and not look the other way when brothers and sisters are suffering, he proposed.“The Gospel only asks us not to look the other way, which is precisely the most pagan attitude of Christians: the Christian, when he gets used to looking the other way, slowly becomes a pagan disguised as a Christian,” he said.“Do I pray? Do I fast? Do I do penance? Or do I live carefree, as we normally live through distant wars?” he added.
It is not clear how the pope’s assertion that just wars do not exist squares with Catholic teaching on just wars.conditions
