After speaking with one who had flown a reconnaissance flight over Nagasaki after the atomic bomb was dropped, however, the priest thought: \u201cMy God, what have we done?\u201d The airman \u201cdescribed how thousands of scorched, twisted bodies writhed on the ground in the final throes of death, while those still on their feet wandered aimlessly in shock \u2013 flesh seared, melted, and falling off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zabelka eventually concluded that \u201che had denied the very foundations of his faith by lending moral and religious support to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a speech Zabelka gave 40 years after the U.S. dropped the atomic bombs, he said: \u201cWar is now, always has been, and always will be bad, bad news. I was there. I saw real war. Those who have seen real war will bear me out. I assure you, it is not of Christ. It is not Christ\u2019s way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conley concludes by saying he stands \u201cin solidarity with Pope Leo and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewtnnews.com\/world\/middle-east\/archbishop-coakley-calls-for-restraint-diplomacy-and-peace-as-hostilities-escalate-in-middle\">Archbishop Paul Coakley, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops<\/a>, in urging Catholics and all people of good will to pray for a peaceful solution to the conflict in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore destruction will only lead to more innocent lives being killed in the crossfire,\u201d he writes. \u201cPlease pray that those in leadership positions can find a way forward without more destruction and bloodshed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an op-ed to his flock titled \u2018Just War 101: Catholic teaching for a dangerous moment,\u201d Bishop James Conley of the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, says he feels \u201ca special responsibility to speak up clearly for the Church\u2019s teaching and vision\u201d as the U.S.-Iran conflict continues.
