It has many devout Catholics as members and it is very sad to see them slandered in this way by so-called fellow Catholics. <BR/><BR/>Are you people familiar with the Sermon on the Mount? The fact is that the recent Canonization Franz Jaegerstatter proves that Contentious objection to all war and killing is no longer a belief held only on the fringes if the Church. <BR/>You talk about capital punishment but you don't even have a consistant Life Ethic. The protection of life is a seamless garment. You can't protect some life and not others, there is a unity of Catholic teaching when it comes to human life. It is the principle which unites the Church’s positions on abortion, war, euthanasia, the death penalty.<BR/><BR/>You attack Pax Christi's bed fellows but what about the some of the right wing nutters attached to your group?<BR/><BR/>You call them a political campaigning organisation but that is also exactly what you are, and what is actually wrong with that?<BR/><BR/>You say that they should not be permitted into Catholic schools yet I see nothing on this blog which states that the Army should not be recruiting in Schools?<BR/><BR/>You talk abour war and violence being mentioned in the Old Testament, here is a newsflash...Jesus Christ created a new covenant, a new commandement...Love one another. <BR/><BR/>My Catholic faith is a faith of gentle personalism, compassion and forgiveness but I see none of that on this Hate site. You criticism exposes your own hypocrisy and idolatrous tendencies. <BR/><BR/>Nationalism, like imperialism and militarism, symbolize false gods to be resisted, not worshipped. The Church has a long peace tradition. In the first centuries, Catholics would have nothing to do with war and this how it will be again very soon becuase we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you don't belive me read the quotes below...<BR/><BR/>The God of Peace is never glorified by human violence."<BR/>Thomas Merton<BR/><BR/> "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace."<BR/>St. Francis of Assisi <BR/><BR/>On my knees I beg you to turn away from the paths of violence and to return to the ways of peace.<BR/>Pope John Paul II<BR/><BR/>"Murder, considered a crime when people commit it singly, is transformed into a virtue when they do it en masse."<BR/>St. Cyprian (200-258) <BR/><BR/>"Put away your sword, for those who live by the sword die by the sword."<BR/>Matthew 26:52 <BR/><BR/>"Christ, in disarming Peter, disarmed every soldier."<BR/>Tertullian<BR/><BR/>Above all, Christians are not allowed to correct with violence<BR/>St. ClementAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32774679.post-13674515354481764102008-08-14T09:16:00.000+01:002008-08-14T09:16:00.000+01:00On further investigation, you're right.

I rather object to the fact that homosexual propagandists have monopolized a symbol of divine forgiveness, and I don't think we should be discouraging other uses of the rainbow by tarring them all with that brush. Better to encourage its use, and so work towards neutralizing it as a "gay symbol". I honestly doubt Pax Christi is trying to push deviant sexual practises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32774679.post-46305096426247103372008-08-12T10:20:00.000+01:002008-08-12T10:20:00.000+01:00The identification of the rainbow flag with the ho...The identification of the rainbow flag with the homosexual movement is far too strong in the English-speaking world for this to be seen simply as a 'peace' flag in the UK.

I know good Catholics in Italy who protested their government's decision to go to war by hanging such flags (with PACE written on them) from their windows. Whatever the validity of the other criticisms, this one is unjust and should be removed from the dossier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
