From Our Store: Witness of Suffering (eBook)

Watching news films of the Iraqi children being liberated from prison, and scenes of Saddam's torture chambers, one recalls war predictions of some of our prelates:

Archbishop Tauran: "a disaster"

Archbishop Martino: "there cannot be a just war"

Cardinal Etchegaray: "World War III"

Bishop Botean: "a matter of mortal sin"

Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops: "no justification"

Cardinal Maradiaga: "pretext for reconstruction"

and L'Osservatore Romano: "indifferent cruelty"

I suppose these worthy voices now are offering public apologies, but I cannot hear them because of the cheering Iraqis celebrating in the streets.

An appeal from our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Mirus:
