A Catholic Social Action Leader’s Reflections on the War in Iraq

As our President prepares to make the most important policy address of his presidency, our social action office has prepared some reflections on the war, the surge (or escalation) and the role of people of faith. Throughout the 37 year history of Catholic Social Action in our Diocese, we have consistently addressed matters of war, peace and human rights through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. These brief reflections are intended to cause a civil dialogue among our parishioners regarding one of the preeminent moral issues of our time. It is the role and responsibility of Catholics to become informed and active in the critical debates confronting our community, state and nation.
