Straight Talk War and Patriotism 

A country is the natural social body within which human persons can reach their full potential. The Church has always praised patriotism, or love for one's country. When patriotism is taken to an extreme, it degenerates into nationalism or the unreasonable and unjust disdain for other countries. So, what does the Church teach about war?
In this episode of Stright Talk, brought to you by RCSpirituality.org, Fr. Bartunek shares the Church's views on patriotism and war.
