New Briefs #5
from The Forge - Catholic Commentary Hosted by T.J. Haines
Five Catholic news stories and two secular stories worth your attention this week. The New York bishops release a practical guide to end-of-life decisions as assisted suicide becomes law in New York. A Melkite priest returns to his bombed church in Lebanon and finds a consecrated host intact after 47 days. Bill Barr argues the Iran war meets just war criteria — the Pope and several bishops aren't so sure, and the distinction matters. Catholic scholars wrestle with what just war demands after a war has already started. The SPLC is indicted for fraud in a story more complicated than either side wants to admit. And the Iran war is quietly becoming a global food crisis — and most people aren't paying attention yet. This is a public episode.
