16. Just War Theory needs to be retired.

The 'Just War Theory" needs to be retired, there is no such thing as a just war just ask the people that are being attacked.
Most of the bishops in the USCCB are warmongers, there is even a bishop that sits on the board of the School of Americas.
Most of the mainline churches are in the same boat as the Catholic Church when it comes to this subject.
If the churches if just the Catholic Church came out against war we could end all war.

Imagine if Christians refused to fight in WWI and WWII what would the world leaders have done, they would have been forced to sit down and settle their grievances.
