Why does The American Catholic have a layout that is similar to Vox Nova's? Some of the comments by certain Vox Novatians to Joe Hargrave's "Enough is Enough: The Crusades & The Jihad Are Not Equivalents" have been amusing. Yes, the Church teaches that murder is wrong and not to be done, but the killing that is done by those pursuing a just war is not murder. Also, moral theologians have distinguished between the just killing that is done in war from that which is done in self-defense -- the former is "intentional" or "direct" while the latter is permissible through the principle of double-effect, it cannot be directly intended. (Aquinas's treatment of war in the ST.) Is this a problem with the CCC or with the one reading it?
