Tsk tsk, jammer toch dat er dingen gebeuren buiten Het Groote Linkse Wereldbeeld om.

On October 26th Franz Jagerstatter, an Austrian farmer, was beatified by the Catholic Church. In 1943 he was beheaded by the Nazis for refusing to bear arms in Hitler's military. Just war reasoning led this Catholic layman to make this conscientious decision. He believed that Hitler's army was fighting an unjust war. Thus Jagerstatter is an important example to Christians who adhere to the just war tradition, and his death demonstrates that just war, like pacifism, can be at odds with empire.
Aj aj.
