PC Dave:

Thanks for the story and the quote below your signature. I typed it out and put in on the refrigerator in my house for my housemates to read.

Yes, the pope is opposed to this war, but that is not a matter of faith and morals, so no Catholic is required to agree with him on that. He has more interests at stake than those of only the US.

As far as a previous pope's stance against the Nazis, I can argue with you on that one in another thread if you like. I'd be rude to take over this one. If you do a search, there was a thread a few months back where this topic was talked about. (It may have been you that I was talking to in that thread.)
