As a Catholic nun whose book was made the movie Brides of Christ said in her life story,
"the Pope should not interfere in matters of individual
conscience."

Right now, Catholic taxes are stolen and given for
Lockheed planes and Lockheed bunker buster bombs which are burning
the little ones of Lebanon. Prolife is universal..
no war, no executions, no slaughterhouses.

Isaiah: I delight not in yoru blood sacrifice.

What do you mean by this?

That is an error. Sometimes, war is justified to defend life. Whether specific wars are just can be debatable, but the just war theory in general is a completely defensible position.

That's one of the very few uses of my tax money that I actually approve of.

BTW, the JDAM kit is made by Boeing, and its use is very much in accord with the "discrimination" requirement of the jus in bello side of the Just War doctrine. The F-18 Hornet was designed by McDonnell-Douglas (now part of Boeing). The F-15 Eagle was likewise designed by Mc-D (now part of Boeing). The F-16 Falcon is built by General Dynamics. The B-1 Lancer was built by North American (now part of Boeing). the A-10 Warthog was built by Fairchild Republic. The AC-130 Spectre gunship and the F-22 Raptor are the only Lockheed combat aircraft in current service with the USA. I don't understand your bugaboo with Lockheed. The Israeli military uses a subset of these aircraft types. All of these aircraft, and their various weapons systems, are initially designed and constantly upgraded to increase precision with which they deliver ordnance, specifically to avoid civilian casualties. We, in the West, spend huge amounts of money and risk the lives of our Soldiers, in order to avoid "burning the little ones". Unfortunately, our mohammedan enemies deliberately put innocents in harm's way. Perhaps your rage would be better directed at them.
