Yes. That's why I distinguished between murder and killing.

But you sidestepped the question of what to do if a religious authority, say one that you have respected for a long time, says that a specific act of killing is not murder.

I addressed that above somewhere, beginning with something like, "'the first line of defense' is the natural law..."
