Is the Iran War a Just War? | A Discussion of Catholic Social Teaching
About this episode
A discussion on whether the Iran War meets the criteria of a just war according to Catholic Social Teaching.
The Iran War is close to entering its third week, and hostilities continue to escalate. Off-ramps for de-escalation are closing and the American public is, largely, unsupportive of the war. In this podcast, Alex Denley hosts a roundtable discussion with three professors of the College of St. Joseph the Worker, Dr. Andrew Willard Jones, Dr. Alex Plato, and Dr. Jared Goff, on whether the Iran War fits the criteria of a just war according to Catholic Social Teaching. They also discuss the circumstances of the war, the stated objectives of the Trump administration, and whether modern warfare is capable of being waged justly. New Polity and the College of St Joseph the Worker are hosting a masterclass on Catholic Social Teaching this summer.
