Ladies and gentlemen, don’t get caught up in the left-wing media legerdemain. They don’t like war because they don’t believe that evil exist.
Catechism of the Catholic Church **2317 **Injustice, excessive economic or social inequalities, envy, distrust, and pride raging among men and nations constantly threaten peace and cause wars. Everything done to overcome these disorders contributes to building up peace and avoiding war:
Insofar as men are sinners, the threat of war hangs over them and will so continue until Christ comes again; but insofar as they can vanquish sin by coming together in charity, violence itself will be vanquished and these words will be fulfilled: “they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”

The Marines are there to protect us, and all that man did was call a spade a spade. Yes, there is evil. Yes, we have to take measures. Sometimes those measures are unpleasant, but that’s the world we live in. Let us look closely at the messenger;in this case the media.And let us scrutinize their motives. This man is on our side. He’s out to protect the good, the beautiful, and the true. Let us pray for him and for all who recognize evil and recognize absolute truth.
[2302](javascriptpenWindow(‘cr/2302.htm’) By recalling the commandment, "You shall not kill,"94 our Lord asked for peace of heart and denounced murderous anger and hatred as immoral.
*Anger *is a desire for revenge. “To desire vengeance in order to do evil to someone who should be punished is illicit,” but it is praiseworthy to impose restitution "to correct vices and maintain justice."95 If anger reaches the point of a deliberate desire to kill or seriously wound a neighbor, it is gravely against charity; it is a mortal sin. The Lord says, "Everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment."96
[2303](javascriptpenWindow(‘cr/2303.htm’) Deliberate *hatred *is contrary to charity. Hatred of the neighbor is a sin when one deliberately wishes him evil. Hatred of the neighbor is a grave sin when one deliberately desires him grave harm. "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven."97
