"On most things, Santorum is a serious Catholic, but on matters of war and peace he strays remarkably far from his church’s teachings. As then-Cardinal Ratzinger said prior to the invasion of Iraq, “the concept of preventive war does not appear in The Catechism of the Catholic Church.” There is no way that it could appear there. Preventive war involves attacking another state to counter threats that do not yet exist, which is utterly contrary to the principle that just wars are waged to redress injury and to restore the peace. Santorum supported preventive war in 2002-03, and just this week reaffirmed that he supports a new preventive war against Iran." http://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/2012/01/03/the-opposite-of-peace-through-strength-santorums-preventive-wars/

Is it not customary to have a wake?
ReplyDeleteTo dress the deceased?
To mourn as a family?
