Catholic Bishops join anti-war protest
The Catholic Bishop's conference of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei (CBC) today joined a rising number of protest voices around the world by speaking out against the possible military action on Iraq.
"The CBC agrees with the Holy See and Bishops from the United States and Middle East that resorting to war against Iraq under current circumstances would not meet the strict conditions in Catholic teaching for over-riding the presumptions against the use of military force," said its president Archbishop Antony Soter Fernandez in a press statement.
Fernandez urged for more groups opposed to the war to make their objections known and to press upon all parties involved in the Iraqi crisis to resolve the matter peacefully.
"We urge other Bishops' Conference all over the world to join their voices in solidarity to call upon all involved to abide by the principles of international law," he said.
