Pained by War, John Paul II Prays for Iraqi People

VATICAN CITY, MARCH 20, 2003 (Zenit.org).- After learning of the outbreak of war, John Paul II offered his Mass this morning for the Iraqi people, ZENIT learned from Vatican sources.

In an official statement, meanwhile, Vatican spokesman Joaquín Navarro-Valls said today that the Pope received the news of the start of the war with “deep pain.”

The director of the Vatican press office said: “On the one hand, it is to be regretted that the Iraqi government did not accept the resolutions of the United Nations and the appeal of the Pope himself, as both asked that the country disarm.”

“On the other hand,” Navarro-Valls said, “it is to be deplored that the path of negotiations, according to international law, for a peaceful solution of the Iraqi drama has been interrupted.”

The Holy See noted with satisfaction “that the various Catholic institutions in Iraq continue to perform their activities of assisting those populations,” he said.

“To contribute to this work of solidarity even the apostolic nunciature, headed by Archbishop Fernando Filoni, will remain open in this period in its office in Baghdad,” the Vatican spokesman concluded.

But, the same is true of those who support and are Re-publicans, specificly those who say they would support Rudolph Giuliani or others who are extreme pro-aborts as the Re-publican candidate for president in '08. Thus putting their allegiance with the Re-publican party instead of with God. Same goes for supporting Re-publican presidents who appoint judges to the courts. If a Re-publican judge nominates a guy who has given extreme pro-abortion rulings many so-called conservative Christians will support that nominee. Another example is National Right To Life giving Bush a 100% pro-life rating despite what he has said about exceptions for rape and incest and his packing the Texas courts with radical pro-aborts like his now attorney general Gonzalez. NRTL gave Bush a 100% pro-life rating not because he is 100% pro-life, but because the National Republican Committee has given MILLIONS to NRTL over the years. Now is the time to start giving a lot of support to a guy who is actually 100% pro-life and the best guy that comes to mind right now is the man who ran for governor in Texas recently, Larry Kilgore http://larrykilgore.com All pro-lifers should strongly consider supporting Kilgore for president in 08.
