Ep 39 - Just War Theory
Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire
With everything going on in Ukraine, Fr. Dom and James thought it appropriate to expand on the Church's teaching on Just War Theory. What is it? Does it even matter? Is there such thing as a "just war?" Join us as we dive deeper into St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas' teachings on the foundation of the theory. The Church has guidelines that all should try and follow to avoid war and also once you are already in war. This is a fascinating episode that is applicable to what is going on in the world today. Don't miss it! Father Dom's Challenge: Pray for Ukraine. For most of us, that is all we can do. Your prayers do matter. If you are financially able, you can donate at these links: 1.

About Podcast
Voted #1 Catholic Podcast for Men!
Jesus Christ is the epitome of what it means to be a man. With masculinity in our culture more confused than ever, join us at The Manly Catholic as we strive to ignite men to be on fire for Christ. Men are challenged and fight battles that often distract them from their ultimate goal: to become a saint. We will help you become saints and become the men God created you to be. And have some laughs along the way. Because who couldn't use more laughter in their life?
