Vince,
A lot of people, including the Catholics themselves, consider Catholics to
be generally pacifists. But that may be a misnomer and I see what you mean
if you compare them to the Amish, Quakers, etc. Perhaps the better words
would have been to say that Catholic church tends to be staunchly anti-war
and takes the stance that prayer and charity is the answer.

> Staunch pacifism would include the Mennonites, Amish, and the Seventh day
Adventists. The Adventists have suffered terribly in this country for their
pacifism. The history of this nation's treatment of pacifists in the Civil
> war through WW! period is shameful and improved by degrees since then.
