Pax Christi finds invasion deplorable...
 In another serious blow to the anticipated U.S. attack on Iraq, Christian pacifists, in a petition addressed Tuesday, August 6, 2002, to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said such an attack is nothing less than a violation of Christian moral teaching, news agencies reported. "It is deplorable that the world's most powerful nations continue to regard war and the threat of war as an acceptable instrument of foreign policy, in violation of the ethos of both the United Nations and Christian moral teaching," said the petition circulated by Pax Christi, an international Catholic peace movement, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP). The incoming Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, was among the 2,500-odd signatories to the petition.Hmmm... Yassss... What'd they say when Sammy stole Kuwait? And gassed the Kurds at Halabja? Uhuh. So much for their moral standing. Maybe they should circulate some petitions in Mecca? And take Mr Archbishop with them. That's a stunning Druid costume, by the way. Or is that what Anglicans wear these days? Mr Archbishop is the one in the center, with the beard, wringing his hands... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-08-07 |
