A Catholic on the use of force.
I found an article by Michael O Garvey, who’s book (”Finding Fault”) I’m reading. I’m a protestant, but I like the way the man thinks, the way he writes, and the respect evident in his work.
I have doubts about the political motives behind our Iraq involvement, and have concerns about the grave cost of it, though I fully respect the men and women who risk everything — and the difficult task that lies before them. I may wish it weren’t necessary, but I am proud when it is handled thoughtfully and professionally by our armed forces. I think that it is good to keep some Christian perspective on the job they are doing.
