Church Stance On Iraq War?

The pdf isn't coming up for me! I think b/c it's a long url. Or it could be my lovely, lovely Dell failing me again.

The relevant Supreme Court decision is [url="http://religiousfreedom.lib.virginia.edu/court/gille_v_us.html"]Gillette v United States.[/url] Other court decisions on this topic, going back to '29, can be found [url="http://religiousfreedom.lib.virginia.edu/court/"]here[/url] (scroll down to the "Free Exercise of Religion" section)

waging a just war is acceptable and part of the Faith

whether or not a war waged is a just war usually falls under speculative theology

that is why the Church doesnt make a definitive stance on Iraq. The faithful may disagree and hold different opinions on this war
