Justice for bin Laden? (8492)

‘Justice has been done,’ states President Obama, and just-war scholars agree.

People burn a photograph of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad May 2 as they celebrate his killing. Bin Laden's death during a May 1 U.S. military strike has stirred debate about the morality of such a killing.

– CNS photo/Stringer via Reuters

WASHINGTON — The term “just-war doctrine” never surfaced in President Obama’s announcement Sunday night that U.S. forces had killed Osama bin Laden.

But his precise remarks underscored the U.S. government’s awareness that the world would scrutinize the killing of the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks from many different vantage points, including the just-war doctrine.

Introduced by St. Augustine of Hippo, this doctrine has traditionally provided the moral framework for guiding and evaluating “the just defense of a nation against an aggressor.”

It does not directly address the issue of individual or collective guilt of the aggressor, or how a just punishment should be established. The...READ MORE

Tornado Aftermath (1926)

Rescue shifts to recovery. How a Catholic restaurateur saved his staff and several diners. An open hymnal seemed to tell the whole story.

APPROPRIATE. A hymnal discovered amid the ruins of the tornado that hit OOO was left open, eerily, to a hymn that read, in part, 'And we’ll sing glory; we’ll shout when we’re caught up to meet him in the air.'

– Mary Dillard/One Voice

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Diners were just beginning to arrive at Tuscaloosa’s Full Moon Bar-B-Que, when the restaurant’s manager, who had been keeping an eye on the path of the oncoming storms, hastily gathered four patrons and seven employees into the walk-in cooler. The 12 people huddled and prayed in a 3 x 10-foot area surrounded by shelves holding fruits and vegetables. At 5pm, the destructive force of a tornado blew the walls out of the restaurant, collapsing the roof on top of the debris. Three of the 12 people sustained broken bones and concussions, but all of them survived.

“They were protected by the hand of God,” said David Maluff, the Catholic co-owner with his brother Joe of the...READ MORE

PILGRIM POPE. Pilgrims venerate the casket of Blessed Pope John Paul II in front of the main altar in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican May 2. The Vatican said 250,000 people passed by to pay their respects following the pope's May 1 beatification.

VATICAN CITY — Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz and Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone paid fitting tribute Monday to Blessed Pope John Paul II, a man whose life radiated Christ’s love, at a Mass of thanksgiving in St. Peter’s Square.

The beloved Pope’s remains will now occupy a visible place in St. Peter’s Basilica, under the altar of St. Sebastian next to Michelangelo’s Pietà.

For the second day in a row, a jubilant crowd thronged St. Peter’s Square, waving the flags of Poland (most of them, of course), Spain, Lithuania, the United States, Portugal and others. They wanted one more chance to say “Thank you.”

Estimated at around 60,000, the pilgrims reacted enthusiastically when Cardinal Dziwisz, the...READ MORE
