The thing about "progressive" crazy is that no matter how out there they are, there is always a further move to make.
So the National Catholic Reporter took this particular moment to argue that Ukraine is evil to fight the Russian invaders. Not because the invaders aren't also evil; but because fighting back is evil. You think I exaggerate? Read the headline for yourself (and click on it if you want to see more):
Ukraine shows we must reject the possibility that war can be just
The article really is as inane as you can imagine. To combat Russian bombs and bullets, "we need a paradigm shift." Putin is blowing up your apartment building? Try "music and art"!
No doubt Ms. Marie Dennis, author of this article, would offer Ukrainians the advice Gandhi gave the Jews during the Holocaust: you should happily leap into the gas chambers, that'll show Hitler! (Oh yes, he really did give that advice.)
I am trying to unravel this madness, but then these words ring in my head: "Forget it Jake; it's Progressive-town."

The author is probably just expanding upon the Holy Father's recent remarks that "There are no just wars: they do not exist!" Perhaps he has forgotten about the Holocaust?

I feel very conflicted over the remarks of this pope.
I would offer the Russians shooting the maternity hospitals a phrase used in the USMC, “No better friend; no worse enemy.”
