War and Legitimate Self-Defense Starting a war is an immoral act. It is a very serious sin against the Fifth Commandment and it has been condemned by the Church’s Magisterium throughout all of Catholic social teaching. There are more appropriate ways that we have been taught to solve conflicts. Pope Pius XII even warned us that “Nothing is lost by peace; everything is lost by war.” War itself has been one of the greatest threats to the sacredness of life throughout the entirety of human existence

Not everyone has the proper tools to make these measurements so it will just take practice and knowledge to understand them. You make these measurements to be sure you know where you’re shooting.

Should We Strive To be Moral Saints? In the article‚ “Moral Saint’s” written by Susan Wolfe she states that the moral saint is‚ “One whose every action is as morally good as possible‚ a person‚ that is‚ who is as morally worthy as can be.” I believe that for humans striving to be a moral saint is in a sense admirable‚ but should not be viewed as a realistic goal‚ in the sense that if not attained‚ one is deemed immoral or a failure. In class we had discussed Susan’s essay and talked about her
