Entry: Mr. bin Laden, Meet Mr. Kennan--A New Containment Policy Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/mr_bin_laden_meet_mr_kennan_a_new_containment_policy#19564 Post contents: @Caper: <i>"What he “proved” was not that the infliction of force to extract life-saving information was moral, but that it is not addressed by the Magisterium and therefore has not been *declared to be* immoral."</i> That may indeed be true, though, as I wrote, I'm not convinced, because his argument relies on intermediate steps that I don't find convincing. What I am convinced of, however, is that if the matter were submitted for a definitive ruling, Pope Benedict's CDF is more likely to rule as I suggested than as Father Harrison has.
