  “Father Andrew Greeley examines the war of President George W. Bush in Iraq with a clear lens and criticizes it with a sharp pen.  He minces no words in calling to task those who justified, planned and executed the war and reminds us that God weeps at the destruction of war, whether lives lost are ‘ours’ or ‘theirs.’  Father Greeley raises a critical moral question about the war in Iraq and its clear failure to meet the criteria for a just war that should be central to any debate about war and peace in our times.  A powerful book!” 
-- Marie Dennis, Co- President, Pax Christi International

  “Rightwing Catholics like to criticize what they call ‘cafeteria Catholics,’ those they accuse of picking and choosing what Catholic things they want to believe.   Andrew Greeley shows that these same critics are cafeteria shoppers when it comes to papal (and, more important, to Gospel) teachings on violence – on war, torture, nuclear weapons, and capital punishment.  Greeley shows that Jesus is the Prince of Peace, not a Captain of War.”
-- Garry Wills, author of What Jesus Meant

  “With wisdom born of the experience of war, John Kennedy warned that, ‘if we don't end war, war will end us.’   Andrew Greeley's writings about the ‘stupid, unjust and criminal’ war in Iraq make President Kennedy's words truly prophetic.   It is clear that this war is leading to our moral dissolution and preparing the way for the ultimate struggle over control of the earth's resources –  the war that will end our world as we know it.  
– Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, Archdiocese of Detroit

  “Every priest, every Catholic in the country, should read this book, one of Greeley’s best, to deepen their own moral clarity and political critique, and join the movement to end this war, make sure we never again engage in such a war, and help abolish war itself forever. Thank you, Father Greeley, for shedding the light and wisdom of peace in a dark and dangerous time of war!”
-- John Dear, author of Living Peace
