The JWQ = The Just War Question(s). Rhetorical questions, mostly. In this episode, we cover the Fifth Commandment as it's explained in the Catechism. I'm just sayin': It could be explained better! I want a Venn diagram!

Are you interested in war and peace? Do you want to read one of the greatest literary works of Western civilization with the support of a live class -- and the accountability that comes with it? This summer, put down your phone and tackle some serious reading with us! Ellen is teaching a live class on The Iliad. We're going to have great conversations about human nature, religion, war, peace, pagans, Catholics, love and loss. There will be so many themes we'll be discussing that will allow us to really examine and ponder more deeply the major topics that are discussed on this channel, but this time through poetry, not podcasting. Hope you can join us!

The Iliad Summer Course for Adults: We start June 3rd! Go here for more information and to enroll:

Roger LaPorte (July 16, 1943 - November 10, 1965)

A Reflection by Fr. Emmanuel McCarthy
 
Roger La Porte immolated himself on November 9, 1965, as his response to the high tech and financially profitable massacre of the people of Vietnam that the U.S. politicians and military were conducting 7200 miles from the border of the U.S.—and to which most of the U.S. citizenry at the time were indifferent. The sacrifice of his life was his response to this wickedness and to the mass media deceit that was calculatingly covering up the daily fare of atrocities that men in the U.S. military were committing against the Vietnamese.
 
When news of his death, the manner of death and the motivation for his self-immolation became known, few in the Church had a good word to say about him, and most had clever, subtle, demeaning and dismissing innuendos when asked to comment on Roger. I was appalled then and remain appalled to this day at the way my fellow Catholics from Cardinal Spellman to Thomas Merton to Dorothy Day and most other Catholics threw Roger overboard.
 
Yet, I remember the aura of religious heroism, the almost reverend adulation, with which some of these same people treated the self-immolation by the sixty-six-year-old Buddhist monk, Thich Quang Duc’s, two and a half years earlier in Saigon on June 11, 1963—although they disagreed with self-immolation as a form of protest for themselves. Yet, where Roger was concerned, it was a radically different response, tenor and tone that was adopted.
 
But, to his eternal credit, Rev. Daniel Berrigan stood by Roger to the end and beyond, and in my mind rightly interpreted Roger’s act, motivation and witness. Dan did not and would not—nor would I— counsel Roger to choose such a witness. Dan, however, left no doubt after hearing Roger's death bed confession that Roger was following his conscience and was not trying to commit suicide, but rather, was voluntarily accepting suffering and possibly death so that others might have their sufferings relieved and their deaths avoided. Dan paid a price for standing by Roger publicly and privately, having the cruel wrath of Cardinal Spellman and his own Jesuit Order immediately come down on him.
 
Regardless of how we die, we all die totally dependent on the mercy of God. No one dies saying, “Lord, have justice on me.” In relation to the Vietnam War, Roger made his choice and others made theirs. Roger’s act resulted in him being burned to death. The acts of other U.S. Catholics and Christians resulted in tens of thousands of Vietnamese being burned to death.

Remember at this moment, the DOW Chemical Napalm Holocaust in Vietnam. Imagine the agony of that! That was Roger’s agony multiplied tens of thousands of times over. Indeed, Dan Berrigan after visiting Vietnam during the war called it “The Land of the Burning Children.” But one will search in vain for evidence that the wrath of Cardinal Spellman or of the Jesuit Order came down on any of the Catholics who set tens of thousands of human beings on fire in Vietnam, or on any Catholic institutions, e.g., universities, that taught Catholics to obey those who ordered them to burn Vietnamese people to death. Nor is there any evidence that the wrath of Cardinal Spellman or the Jesuit Order came down on any Catholic or Catholic organization who was indifferent to the destruction of Vietnamese children by the truckload each day. As is the case today in the Catholic Church hierarchy in relation to the genocide of the children of Palestine.

"A TRAGEDY BEYOND CALCULATING: The State of Israel Has Become The Tomb of The Jewish Soul" -- A talk given by Daniel Berrigan, S.J on Oct. 19, 1973, shortly after he completed his parole in a federal sentence for acts of nonviolent resistance against the Vietnam war.

On November 18, 1969, during the height of the Vietnam War, a group of Notre Dame students protested the presence of Central Intelligence Agency and DAO (Defense Attache Office, Saigon) on campus. At the time, Fr. Emmanuel Charles McCarthy was a professor in the literature department; he had also founded and was the Director of The Program for the Study and Practice of Nonviolent Conflict Resolution. Ten of the students got expelled. Fr. McCarthy ended up resigning, to show solidarity with the students. 

On the 50th anniversary in 2019, Fr. McCarthy and four of the former students reunited to tell the story of what happened that day, why it happened, and how it has affected their lives, as well as the ripple effects it has sent through the institution of the University of Notre Dame. Episode 98 features their discussion, and Episode 99 features the speeches that were given that day. 

The gatherings that have been happening at Notre Dame every 10 years on the anniversary of the protests resulted in the first ever memorial to Conscientious Objectors on a Catholic campus in the United States being erected on the Notre Dame campus, across from the famous grotto.

Jason Knudson joined the Navy in 1998, deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, and now works in innovation and defense. We talk about the ongoing war in Gaza, among other things. Jason's perspective, which is different than mine, and comes from outside Catholic teaching on war, I see as a dose of worldly wisdom that the CAM podcast needs (not that I believe much in worldly wisdom on the topic, but it is worth hearing if only because, sometimes, worldly wisdom seems more connected to reality than the opining of the Catholic Just Warists who only want to talk about war in the theoretical and the abstract). Longtime listeners will, I hope, make connections with the ideas discussed more broadly on this podcast and will, I hope, share those observations charitably and thoughtfully in the comments section. 

I highly recommend Episode 45 as a follow up to this conversation: https://youtu.be/SEMwUG2EJyc

Bishop John Michael Botean (Romanian Catholic eparchy of St. George in Canton Ohio) issued this Lenten Letter to his people in 2003. The letter was read from the pulpit of all Romanian Catholic Churches on March 9, 2003. This document represents the strongest antiwar stand by any Catholic bishop in the United States (and quite possibly the world) in relation to America's invasion of Iraq. Employing his full apostolic authority, Bishop Botean rules that it is morally impermissible for members of his flock to lend their support to this war effort. The document is avaiable from several sources on the internet. This particular version was posted on the Center for Christian Non-Violence (http://centerforchristiannonviolence.org/downloads/Pastoral_Letter_Iraq_War.pdf) retrieved on 7/28/2008.
