Episode #4820 Fr. Koys Tackles Birth Tourism and Just War Theory

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles Birth Tourism and Just War Theory. Father Koys discusses what Birth Tourism is and how it ends up affecting who votes and who we are as a nation pointing out that we are a nation searching for identity as we suffer through an identity crisis.  In discussing this he makes relational connection between how we become a citizen and how we become a catholic: vowing fidelity to the US and accepting Baptism being born into Catholicism. Later he discusses the 5 aspects of the Just War Theory.  He reviews each aspect of the theory and discusses his interpretation as to how they apply to the current war.   After the final break he delves into his analysis of the application of the Just War Theory in the war with Iran.    St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish [https://ststanschurch.org/]
