A "Just" Use Of Force?
The Vatican gave guarded support to NATO's bombings of Bosnian
Serb
targets,
saying it should not be considered an act of war against one
party but a
warning that the rights of all must be respected. An editorial in
the
Osservatore Romano called the air strikes a "painful recourse to
force"
and
said they should be followed immediately by diplomatic efforts to
find
peace.
The Pope himself has not made any comment on yesterday's NATO
raids, but
last
month indicated he was prepared to support, as a last resort,
limited
intervention to halt the war in Bosnia under the "just war"
theory. In
Catholic doctrine, the concept of a "just war" is accepted but
only if a
number of criteria are met. Among them: the intention of those
fighting
must
be just, the means used must be proportionate, just and
discriminate,
and the
use of force must be a last resort.

"We Kneel In Tears"
A day after the Pope came close to crying publicly over the war
in
Bosnia, he
told hundreds of thousands of people that the conflict there had
become
intolerable and demanded peace. The Pontiff paid homage to the
young
dead of
the conflict. "We kneel down before the tombs of so many young
people,
with
their mothers and fathers, in tears," he said. The 300,000-strong
crowd
held
up hundreds of candles under a full moon. A violin played a
somber
melody as
one youth told the crowd: "We are all citizens of Sarajevo
tonight."
Wednesday October 11
The "Insane Ideology"
The Pope called on the UN today to draw up a "charter of nations"
outlining
the rights and duties of countries in promoting peace. But, in an
apparent
reference to the war in former Yugoslavia and other ethnic
conflicts, he
said
the rights of nations should not be confused with what he called
"the
insane
ideology of nationalism." The Pope was speaking to thousands of
pilgrims
and
tourists gathered in St. Peter's Square for his first general
audience
since
his return from the US trip.

The Pope was featured on the cover of this issue with the title

of
Peace."

THE VATICAN, Anything for Peace
Pope renews appeals on Bosnia
Pope John Paul is moving closer toward supporting military
intervention
in
Bosnia. He traditionally says the rosary together with a few
thousand
people
on the first Saturday of each month, and in February that
coincided with
a
brutal mortar attack in Sarajevo that killed more than 60 people
and
injured
nearly 200.
The Pope called the attack a massacre by criminal hands "which
continue
systematically to slaughter and destroy." He said those
responsible
would
have to answer before God. He urged world leaders to "try
everything" to
bring about a cease-fire.
"Europe cannot tolerate seeing entire populations deprived of the
most
fundamental rights, cities annihilated, sons exterminated," the
Pope
said. "I
beg those responsible for acts so unworthy of humanity to stop
these
crimes.
They will have to answer for them before God."
Two days later the Pope met with officials from the NATO Defense
College,
which is based in Rome, and told them to defend and uphold the
rights of
all,
especially the victims of injustice and violence. Europe needs to
remember
that its destiny does not depend on strategic or economic
interests
alone,"
he said. "It needs above all to recover its soul."
