Podcasts about Just war theory

We welcome back canon lawyer Fr. Gerald Murray to examine the canonical and ecclesial dimensions of the ongoing tensions between the Society of Saint Pius X and the Vatican. How should this disagreement be understood in light of Church law and authority, and what principles are at stake in evaluating its possible resolution? Why does the recent synodal document addressing the role of women in the Church raise further theological and canonical questions regarding the nature of sacred tradition? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the war with Iran, which the U.S. entered into on February 28. The attacks resulted in the assassination of Israel's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and several other officials. And in response, Iran has launched missiles at various targets in Israel and US military bases. Today's conversation hopefully sheds some light on the history of the tension in the Middle East, as well as whether war can ever be just. Episode Links At the top of the podcast, Dr. White suggested a helpful resource for understanding more of the world's political order. Written by Richard Haass, you can find The World: A Brief Introduction at The Grounds Bookstore HERE. He also mentioned a past podcast episode that we highly suggest you go back and listen to for more of an understanding of Israel and their engagement with both Palestine and Iran: CCP80: On the War in Israel. This episode will help you understand why Jerusalem is such a flashpoint. There is another past episode that we'd recommend for understanding the differences between Christianity and Islam: CCP86: On Islam. Alexis mentioned the article written by Russell Moore in Christianity Today titled “What the Iran War Could Do to Your Soul,” which you can find HERE. It really challenges people to think about the why behind their support or opposition to the war. And when it comes to whether the church should engage this current conflict, it would be helpful to go back to our recent episode: CCP185: On Bad Bunny, Monks and Immigration.

I keep on trying to podcast about other things and current events keep distracting me. In my previous episode in this series, “The Persian Problem, I described some conditions under which U.S. military action against Iran would meet the Jus Ad Bellum criteria of Just War Theory. That description was, at the time I posted it, theoretical. Now we have the reality of having initiated combat operations. In this episode, I will review what I said in the previous episode and compare it to what we can see so far in this current conflict. Music: Holst, G.

I encourage you to download it and read it yourself: ⁠https://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/record/13724⁠ -- In this episode, I take up a difficult question: can war ever be just in Stoicism? Not justified. Not strategically useful. Not legal. But truly just — meaning virtuous and right. I begin by setting aside the two dominant modern frameworks for thinking about war: utilitarianism and deontology. Utilitarianism evaluates war based on consequences. If enough good results from it, the war can be defended. Deontology evaluates war based on rules. Some actions are always wrong, regardless of outcomes. Stoicism does neither. Using the firebombing of Dresden and the ticking time bomb scenario, I explain how the Stoic approach shifts the focus away from body counts and legal rules and onto character. For the Stoic, external outcomes — even death and destruction — are morally indifferent. What matters is the internal condition of the agents making decisions. Are they acting from justice, courage, and wisdom? Or from fear, ambition, pride, or the desire to dominate? Drawing on Cicero's On Duties and later Stoic interpretation, I outline the core criteria: right intention, proper authority, discrimination, and war as a last resort aimed at peace. A war undertaken from a corrupted value structure — where victory is treated as a good in itself — reflects vice. A war undertaken from rational concern for preserving the cosmopolis, after all other paths have been exhausted, may be just. I also address torture and why the Stoic rejects it, not because of rule-following or cost-benefit calculations, but because it corrupts the agent. It reflects disordered judgment and a failure of oikeiôsis — a failure to recognize another rational being as part of the same moral community. Stoicism is not rule-based. It is character-based. I then turn to the present. We cannot fully know the internal motives of national leaders. We can only infer. War may be just or unjust depending on the reasoning behind it. That reasoning is ultimately visible only to the agent and their daimon — their inner rational faculty. Finally, I bring the question home. Most of us are not heads of state. But the Stoic framework for just war is simply Stoic ethics scaled up. The same question applies in everyday conflict: am I acting from virtue, or from ego and fear? The work of the prokoptôn is constant self-examination, especially when stakes are high. War can be just in Stoicism. But only if it is conducted by people whose souls are ordered toward peace, whose intentions are clean, and whose reason has honestly left them no alternative. Listening on Spotify? Leave a comment!

Decades of assaults, murder through proxies, assassination attempts, and more from Iran's leadership. How does the recent military strike from the US and Israel impact this reality? We hear from Scott Jennings at CNN and Marco Rubio as they address the strikes, which they say will end the war, not start one. We also look at Just War Theory and consider the 'Prince of Persia' in the book of Daniel.

Ibrahim lays out the theological, military, and political realities of the era, arguing that the Crusades were understood at the time as defensive wars within a Christian just war tradition.The conversation explores jihad doctrine, papal authority, pilgrimage routes, the Byzantine appeal for help, and the brutal realities of medieval warfare on all sides. We discuss how both Christian and Muslim chroniclers recorded atrocities, enslavement, and religious violence, and why sanitised or selective readings distort the period.We also examine how the Crusades are invoked in modern political rhetoric, why historical memory shapes contemporary tensions, and whether the West has lost confidence in telling its own story honestly.A rigorous and unfiltered discussion about faith, war, civilisation, and what the Crusades really meant in their own time.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/heroic-the-uncensored-history-of?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction03:09 The 7th Century Islamic Conquests and Europe's Shock07:30 How Early Christians Interpreted Islam11:41 Jihad: Faith, Plunder, or Both?16:57 Just War Theory and the Theology of Violence20:00 The Rise of the Seljuk Turks and New Atrocities23:35 The Destruction of the Holy Sepulchre 27:48 Pacifism vs Defence: What Did Christ Teach?31:36 The “Two Swords of Christ” Explained41:16 Medieval Honour vs Modern Materialism47:37 Pope Urban II and the Call to Crusade 49:12 The People's Crusade and the Rhine Pogroms52:32 The Professional Crusaders March East58:42 Why They Fought: Holy Land and Christian Solidarity1:00:07 The Capture of Jerusalem 1:03:35 The Birth of the Knights Templar 1:18:00 Saladin and the Loss of Jerusalem 1:48:00 How the Crusades Are Misunderstood Today2:01:00 Did the Crusades Ultimately Fail?

A boat from Venezuela allegedly trafficing drugs was blown up and its passengers were killed, apparently in multiple stages.  This raises questions about the morality of killing in war, killing in general, and the applicability of so called 'Just War Theory'. However, we also appear to be gearing up for some kind of regime-change in Venezuela, and it's currently unclear exactly why this is so.  Join the Gwartney Institute for a discussion concerning the Venezuelan situation.

Catholic just war theory is a moral framework for evaluating warfare that dates back to St. Augustine but has its roots in older, pre-Christian ethical systems. Though the theory has been widely embraced not just by Catholic theorists but also by policymakers, it's also been widely criticized. Some Christian pacifists, pointing to Jesus' teachings on nonviolence and the early church's radical rejection of war, argue that the very idea that a war could be just constitutes a betrayal of gospel values. Yet others argue that absolute nonviolence is an impossible ideal, and means putting the vulnerable at the mercy of unjust aggressors. Critics of radical pacifism point to multiple instances of wars waged to stop unjust aggressors, invaders, and assaults against human life and dignity.  It's a topic with multiple intersecting moral questions. Is just war theory a sophistical attempt to defend the indefensible, or a viable framework? Should victims of oppression and violence be held to absolute standards of nonviolence, or are they justified in defending themselves? Is pacifism an impossible ideal, or something we can really work for?  On this episode of Glad You Asked, the hosts talk to author and activist David Swanson about just war theory, where it comes from, how it is applied, and whether it is ever possible for a war to be just.  Swanson is executive director of World BEYOND War, and campaign coordinator of RootsAction.org. His books include War Is A Lie and When the World Outlawed War. He has been awarded the Real Nobel Peace Prize, an alternative award, supported by the Lay Down Your Arms Association, and inspired by the belief that the Nobel Committee has strayed from Alfred Nobel's original vision. He's the recipient of the 2018 Peace Prize from the U.S. Peace Memorial Foundation, and has been involved in multiple peace organizations.

PREVIEW. St. Augustine and the Formulation of Just War Theory. Professor Katherine Conybeare discusses St. Augustine's life and his creation of the just war theory through correspondence with the Roman commander Boniface. Boniface, who was defending North Africa against threats like the Vandals, wished to become a monk. Augustine argued that Boniface must remain a military officer because North Africa needed him, providing the context for when waging war is justified.

In this episode of G220 Radio, we take a closer look at the recent comments made by Pope Francis, claiming that anyone who supports the death penalty cannot truly call themselves “pro-life.” As biblical Christians and abolitionists against abortion, we find this statement not only misguided but rooted in a deep misunderstanding of God's Word and the purpose of civil government. We'll open the Scriptures to examine what Romans 13 teaches about the governing authorities and the God-given role of the state to wield the sword against injustice. We'll expose the absurdity of equating the death penalty with abortion—showing why punishing the guilty is not the same as murdering the innocent. We'll also tackle the challenging question: if abortion is murder (which it is), then what about soldiers who go off to war? Grounding the discussion in Just War Theory and biblical principles, we'll explore the difference between lawful justice in warfare and the unlawful taking of life. Join us as we boldly confront the confusion, uphold God's truth, and proclaim the only consistent, Gospel-centered view of life, justice, and peace.

Dr Rory Cox, Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, is Professor of History at the University of St Andrews, where he has taught since 2011. He studies how ideas shape human history, with research spanning the ethics of war, violence, and environmental history. His book Origins of the Just War: Military Ethics and Culture in the Ancient Near East (Princeton) won the 2024 Society for Military History Distinguished Book Award. His forthcoming book is Solar: A History of Humanity and the Sun.In this conversation, Dr. Rory Cox discusses his book 'Origins of the Just War' and explores the evolution of just war theory from ancient civilizations to modern times. He delves into the nature of warfare in the ancient Near East, the cultural perspectives of the Egyptians, Hittites, and Israelites, and how these perspectives shaped their justifications for war. The discussion also touches on the implications of ancient practices in contemporary warfare, the role of religion, and the modern revisionist approach to just war theory.00:00 Introduction to Dr. Rory Cox and His Work01:54 Warfare in the Ancient Near East08:02 Understanding Just War Theory15:12 Cultural Perspectives on War and Divinity27:03 Rituals and Omens in Warfare30:37 Legacy of Ancient Warfare in Modern Contexts31:33 The Legacy of Vengeance in Warfare33:03 Religion's Role in Modern Warfare36:50 Evolution of Just War Theory44:34 Modern Revisionist Just War Theory53:26 Christianity and Just War Theory's Influence

Segment 1: • Is America right to intervene? The Middle East crisis raises tough theological and political questions. • Distinguishing between national Israel and covenant Israel requires careful biblical thinking. • Todd introduces Just War Theory: legitimate government, last resort, just cause — but it's not so simple. Segment 2: • The Just War debate gets even messier when we add goals, methods, and terms of peace. • Terror attacks complicate the moral landscape—how do Christians think clearly here? • Biblical principles demand wisdom, not just reactionary headlines. Segment 3: • A violent attack in Michigan stopped by brave church members — do you have a plan? • Churches must take serious security precautions in an increasingly hostile culture. • Evil doesn't take Sundays off — wise leadership includes protecting the flock. Segment 4: • VBS has morphed — but should kids lead Sunday worship? • Entertainment-driven services may feel fun, but undermine biblical worship. • Worship isn't a Whoopty Doo Fest; it's about glorifying God, not entertaining people. ___ Thanks for listening!

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd takes aim at James Lindsay's recent comments on Israel's war in Gaza and challenges him for doing the very thing he criticizes in others: abandoning principle for political tribe. While Lindsay often warns about the “woke right” using moral language to mask power grabs, Jacob argues that Lindsay falls into the same trap when he demands moral clarity from Hamas but gives Israel a pass. That's not justice—it's moral convenience.Drawing from the historic Christian tradition of Just War Theory, Jacob lays out what a truly consistent application looks like: one that measures all sides—friend or enemy—by the same standards. He defends Israel's right to self-defense, but insists that Christians must not confuse vengeance for virtue. This is a call to reject tribalism, to stop weaponizing theology, and to remember that justice without consistency isn't justice at all.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

What is “Just War Theory?” Wretched Radio | Air Date: June 10, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0610.mp3 Segment 1 Welcome to the SBC. There's a movement that says women can be pastors as long as they're not senior pastors. The issue of AI needs to be addressed at the SBC and within every other denomination. Dr. Andrew Walker […] The post ISRAEL VS. HAMAS appeared first on Wretched.

Politicians will invoke the venerable just war theory when they believe they can manipulate the facts in their favor. In truth, it is the rare government that engages in a justified conflict.Original Article: Why Politicians Cannot Be Trusted with Just War Theory

Just War theory is one of the most significant contributions of Christianity to the world. On a recent episode of Breakpoint This Week, Dr. Eric Patterson, president of the Religious Freedom Institute and a political scientist who has done extensive work on the subject, discussed how the Just War tradition can help us think through the atrocities of Hamas and the retaliation by Israel. In fact, Patterson's new book, entitled A Basic Guide to the Just War Tradition, is among the best primers available on Just War theory.    In our conversation, Dr. Patterson argued that governments have a God-given obligation to defend the innocent. As he put it,    "There's a whole superstructure in the Bible on certain principles. One is governance. God created the family as a unit of governance. He created the Church as a unit of governance within its sphere. And we know in the Old and the New Testament, such as in Romans 13, there's a principle of government authority to protect and defend. The Bible has a lot to say about vocations, including those called the security and foreign policy vocations: Nehemiah, Joseph, in the New Testament, centurions and others. And so, there's never a teaching in the Bible that Christians are supposed to step outside of those public service vocations to protect and defend." Still, some Christians who take seriously Jesus' command to love their enemies have a hard time seeing how that should play out when it comes to nations at war. Ultimately, it is the command to love our neighbors that grounds the Christian responsibility, of both individuals and governments, to oppose evil through proper channels of authority. The love of our enemies, which Christ commanded, should inform how we oppose evil. In as much, Dr. Patterson argues, intentions matter:    "I think what the Just War tradition helps us with is looking at Israeli politics, looking at leaders and things and asking the question, 'Is the reason you're doing this out of love of neighbor, love of country, or have you strayed over this line where you are full of hate and what you really want to do is out of wrath, out of hatred, out of bitterness?'" When the enemy is dehumanized, Patterson argues, the war devolves away from justice. Of course, Hamas has never seen Jews as fully human. Israel, on the other hand, has placed itself under the obligations of international law, which has been shaped by the Christian Just War tradition. They've committed to be proportional in their response, though that is not measured mathematically. They've committed to distinguish between civilians and combatants, though that does not mean they are responsible every time a civilian is killed. They've committed to treat prisoners humanely and to wage war with a view toward peace in the end.     These commitments impose a heavy burden on those who fight, and they stand in direct contrast to Hamas, Boko Haram, ISIS, or the Taliban. Their way of waging terror and warfare comes, in the words of Philos Project founder Robert Nicholson, from “drinking from a different ideological well” of radical Islam.   Dr. Patterson put it,    "The reason that we've had a half dozen coups in West Africa in the past three years is because governments there, and often friendly Christians and Muslims working together, are so dispirited that the West and Western-supported governments have not been able to stop the black flag of Islamic State in West Africa. We see this with the Taliban and others. I think we have a lot of examples of this type of ruthless, violent Islamism that justifies violence against its neighbors."  Everyone, including Muslims, suffers at the hands of radical Islam. Ideas have consequences. Bad ideas have victims.  Christians have a different view of people, of our friends and of our enemies. We believe in justice and in peace, and most importantly, in the Prince of Peace. May His judgment come swiftly—and may Christians bear faithful witness until then.    This Breakpoint was co-authored by Kasey Leander.
