BTW, the Pope is considered the final word on laws of God and laws of the Catholic Church. His stance on the war is not one to which Catholics are bound.

An interesting point . . . but I think it really depends on what the Pope's anti-war stance is based on. For example, if he cites a Biblical passage that claims that war is wrong, then wouldn't his view on the war carry over into the religious views that he supposedly is the final word on? But if his stance is based on politics, not religion, then I don't think it would matter.
I've only read one article on the Pope's stance on the war, so I don't remember what exactly he said about it. Can anybody else enlighten us?
