An overwrought denunciation by the voice of the Catholic Left ends:

As our nation enters into what might be called a forced and fortunate moral reassessment, can we make this a personal moral reassessment as well? Or will expedience and our own personal moral blindness fashion another way? God is patient and forgiving, and God is not finished with us yet.

Once there was “Better red than dead.”  Now it’s “Better terrorized than compromised.”  This be pacifism followed logically.
