- Abstract:
The author discusses the call by Pope Francis for the abolition of war and his cautious support for military action to protect the vulnerable from the Islamic State terrorist groups. He says that the tension in the call of Pope Francis can be seen in the history of the Vatican City, referencing to the call of St. John Paul II to outlaw war and his statement about not being pacifists and highlights the development of Catholic teaching on war reflecting its teaching on capital punishment.
