Cardinal Parolin, the Vatican's top diplomat, on the conflict in the Middle East: "If states were to be recognized as having a right to 'preventive war'...the whole world would risk being set ablaze. This erosion of international law is truly worrying."
The situation is so tragically serious that the Vatican Secretary of State invokes Immanuel Kant (for a long time viewed as a direct threat to Catholic doctrine) in this interview: “A violation of right in one part of the world is felt in all parts.”
