The Church's Position on Modern Warfare

The podcast explores the church's position on modern warfare and the challenge it poses to understanding and defending the Catholic faith. The guest, Dr. Joseph Kepizi, discusses the conflict between being faithful to Jesus, who calls for peacemaking, and participating in war. He explains that the Catholic tradition acknowledges that in a broken world, the use of lethal force can, in certain conditions, be an instrument of peace, as outlined in the Just War tradition. The discussion emphasizes the importance of evaluating the use of force based on whether it serves the end of peace.
