Millions of people lived and we kept Russia out of Japan. I’d say it was worth it.

Here where I live, about 27 miles from the facility where the Plutonium for Nagasaki was fabricated, I have heard quite a few opinions on the matter. Most emanating from former Hanford workers and their families mirror yours, as one might expect. Similar sentiment at Los Alamos, where my dad worked for a while, naturally. I hope y'all are correct; haven't made up my mind on this one and probably won't absent direct input from the Holy Spirit!

I believe authoritative judgments can be found in the teachings of the Popes when speaking repeatedly and clearly and in agreement with each other over the years, and the decisions of Ecumenical Councils, in union with the Holy Father, in accorance with Scripture, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Whew.

In sum: check your Catechism.

The whole context is worth a look.
