Episode notes
Critique of Pope Leo's Pacifism
- Pope Leo emphasized peace excessively without addressing just war theory or acknowledging fighting against injustice.
- This pacifism risks undermining virtue by discouraging just defense and valor in conflict.
Peace Requires Justice and Christ
- Catholic interventions should promote peace founded on justice and Christ, not abstract peace.
- Blanket calls for peace without grounding in the gospel risk being ineffective or misleading.
Valor in Just War as Virtue
- Fighting in just wars is a high virtue and sign of love, not cowardice.
- Disparaging such fighters encourages cowardice and undermines virtue within society.
