The brilliance of Fr. Barron is not only does he tell you things you didn’t know but he also makes you confront things you unknowingly and sometimes mistakenly accepted as truth.

I am sorry Father Barron, the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima is self-defense in a war aggression by the Japanese. The bomb said that unless Japan ceases and desists from aggression, Tokyo will be next and then more until the aggression ceases.
In the matter of the devil, the Father of Lies, the untruth in the HHS mandate is that the human being has no soul. The human soul is not recognized in the Affordable Healthcare Act as part of the person as citizen. Obama uses the citizens’ tax dollars to invent a law that does not represent the citizens’ reality of body and soul. Judge Urbom said that the suit against the HHS mandate had no standing because it had not yet gone into effect and that it might be compromised. The compromise would have to consist of the HHS mandate promoting Catholic hospitals with chapel and chaplain, and Catholic doctors for Catholic patients. Catholic patients have been excluded by the Mandate from their citizenship in body and soul. Catholics and their conscience have been disenfranchised. I say Catholic because I am a Catholic, but all people with human body and soul, human beings in citizenship are being disenfranchised because they refuse to surrender their souls to the soulless Affordable Healthcare Mandate.
Look at the HHS mandate as the parting of the Red Sea by Moses. When the wicked enter the parted sea it will fill in on them and they will drown in their wickedness.

Mary,
The dropping of the atomic bomb was not necessary. It is speculative only that it would have saved lives. I cannot think of anything more diabolical than the use of nuclear warfare. Lack of Faith in God resulted in atomic warfare. Would the Pope have dropped the bomb on the Japanese?–of course not. It took a Protestant haberdasher and his minions to make that decision.
What did we save, by the way? Soon after came the sexual revolution and with it birth control and legalized abortion with the murder of 60 million souls. Perhaps if we had not used the bomb, had lost the war, life would be very different–maybe even better if the West had not resorted to such a bleak, muderous (of civilians no less!) solution. Don't put God's stamp of approval on something so evil as Fat Boy.

I can think of a number of things more diabolical than nuclear warfare, and the Japanese did some of them in that war. Understand, I'm intimately acquainted with Japan's religion; some of their military's practices would be the equivalent of our chaplains doing Black Masses.
And the nature of Japanese wartime manufacturing made their cities more legitimate (or at least less illegitimate) targets than Western cities were. Which is not to say dropping the nukes was good or justified; only that it is not pure evil.
PS. As for what we saved, a little thing called "Japan". Westerners seldom mean it when they say "fight to the last man"; the Japanese did it routinely. We don't automatically append "in dishonor" to having survived a losing battle, Japanese culture (especially the form it took under their Imperialist ideology) still, to this day, considers the only excuse for not dying with your comrades being that you had been ordered to report something about the battle to an ally.

Interesting points you raise, Sophia's Favorite. I respect your insight into the evil of the Japanese military.
Nagasaki had the most Christians of any Japanese city I'm told, and it was a primary target. As I understand it, one of the few bastions of Christianity among the Japanese was there. So very tragic. Not that killing Christian Japanese is any worse than killing Shinto Japanese, but why would a so called "Christian" nation target a city where that spark of the Good News was kept alive? It was a bleak outlook, lack of Faith, and living for this world alone.

Redfeather said: "but why would a so called "Christian" nation target a city where that spark of the Good News was kept alive? It was a bleak outlook, lack of Faith, and living for this world." Because it was closer than Tokyo? because by the time the war was ending who was counting the number of Christians in Japan? You posit the statement as though Nagasaki was targeted because it was Catholic. Nagasaki was targeted because it was Japanese. The war in the South Pacific was all about getting to Japan. Nagasaki was Japan, not unlike Pearl Harbor was America. This idea you posit is rather new, never heard it before, meaning that if it had any merit, the truth of it would have surfaced right after the war. It is speculative that the dropping of the atomic bomb was not necessary.
