When A Pope Goes to War. (Part III) - Gerard M Nadal facebook.com/gerard.nadalphd (For those who don't use Facebook, here is the article (below) When A Pope Goes to War. (Part III) This week we have been looking at the criticisms that Pope Leo and many bishops have of the United States and Israel in finally returning fire against Iran after thousands and thousands of our citizens have been slaughtered by Iran in hundreds of acts of war over the past 47 years. Read Part I here: … Read Part II here: … In the first two parts we considered many of the criticisms by Leo and many bishops, which, in the aggregate, leave one wondering if Pope Leo could ever envision a just use of military force. We also considered what the Church says about Just War Theory and the conditions that must be satisfied, as set forth in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, CCC 2309. Suffice it to say that we can indeed IN THIS SITUATION, prosecute an overwhelming and definitive use of military force against the …'Besdal
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 10,31-42. The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus. Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?" The Jews answered him, "We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God." Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'? If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside, can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? If I do not perform my Father's works, do not believe me; but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize (and understand) that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." (Then) they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power. He went back across the Jordan to the place where John first baptized …'Besdal
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 10,31-42. In jener Zeit hoben die Juden Steine auf, um Jesus zu steinigen. Jesus hielt ihnen entgegen: Viele gute Werke habe ich im Auftrag des Vaters vor euren Augen getan. Für welches dieser Werke wollt ihr mich steinigen? Die Juden antworteten ihm: Wir steinigen dich nicht wegen eines guten Werkes, sondern wegen Gotteslästerung; denn du bist nur ein Mensch und machst dich selbst zu Gott. Jesus erwiderte ihnen: Steht nicht geschrieben in eurem Gesetz: Ich habe gesagt: Ihr seid Götter? Wenn er jene Menschen Götter genannt hat, an die das Wort Gottes ergangen ist, und wenn die Schrift nicht aufgehoben werden kann, dürft ihr dann von dem, den der Vater geheiligt und in die Welt gesandt hat, sagen: Du lästerst Gott – weil ich gesagt habe: Ich bin Gottes Sohn? Wenn ich nicht die Werke meines Vaters vollbringe, dann glaubt mir nicht! Aber wenn ich sie vollbringe, dann glaubt wenigstens den Werken, wenn ihr mir nicht glaubt! Dann werdet ihr …'Besdal

Jeremiah 20:10-13 Listening and talking with someone is easier than persecuting them. Jeremiah has good intentions, but some people don't know how to listen to him, and they want to kill him. John 10:31-42 Some people want to stone Jesus. Learning to discover the beauty of God in people's hearts helps us avoid judging too quickly.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 8,51-59. Jesus said to the Jews: "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death." (So) the Jews said to him, "Now we are sure that you are possessed. Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, 'Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.' Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make yourself out to be?" Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, 'He is our God.' You do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I would be like you a liar. But I do know him and I keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad. So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM." So they picked up stones to throw at him; but …'Besdal
