What does Church teaching say about when a resort to military force is morally justified? Parishioner Jim Thomas will provide an overview of moral principles from the New Testament and the just war tradition about the use of violence. Then he will facilitate a discussion about how Catholic teaching can be applied to current situations: Iran, Venezuela, and Ukraine. Jim has a Masters in Religious Studies from Gonzaga University.
Catholics from across Western Washington will gather on Beacon Hill to pray the Way of the Cross and bear public witness to the dignity of migrants. We will walk in solidarity with our immigrant siblings from El Centro de la Raza to Jefferson Park. Along the procession, we will hear personal stories and grow together as a community of faith living out the Gospel as part of the national Season of Faithful Witness.
