Crisis Magazine is Wrong: Catholic Church Teaching on War is Not Clear

March 28, 2025

Writes Ellen Finnigan:

Dear Lew, 

I read the article you linked to written by Matthew Cullinan Hoffman in Crisis Magazine in which he stated that Pope Francis’s condemnations of Israel’s actions “represent the Church’s clear teachings on war found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.” 

I take issue with this statement. The Church’s teachings on this matter are not clear. In the latest episode of the CAM podcast, I take a closer look at what is in the Catechism. Here is Part I.
