Entry: Thoughts on the the Antichrist: Part I, The Inversion of Values Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/thoughts_on_the_the_antichrist_i_the_inversion_of_values#610 Post contents: Regretful Republican, You say: "With all due respect to Mr. Richert, Mark Shea is hardly the only Catholic Blogger who is in accord with the Church’s teaching on the diabolical neoconservative concept of “pre-emptive war.” That is most certainly true. And I would observe that the matter of pre-emptive war is hardly the only question in this rather sordid environment to make a judgment as to one's being in sympathy with Church teaching. There has been a certain willingness - even of Mr. Shae - to engage as serious the views of many on the question of torture, ticking bomb scenarios and the like. It would seem me that proper instincts would draw one away from such engagements lest they lend one's protagonists a certain legitimacy. And what the legitimization of the logic of torture might have to do with Jesus Christ utterly escapes me. John Lowell Sent at: 2008 08 30
