“The way to resolve disputes should always be that of dialogue and negotiation.”
The pHope (gives the title new meaning) has given his blessing for appeasement instead of fighting evil. While I agree with his sentiment, we must be realistic: you cannot appease someone or some country while they are threatening to kill you. Jesus was clear that there are times when we must protect ourselves, our families and our faith.
Luke 22:36
He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
As we have seen before in the beginning stages of World War II, appeasement does not stop evil. And as we also saw in 1933, the Vatican made a Concordat with Hitler instead of following the Lord.

In a statement given to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Monday, the Vatican declared its support for the Iran nuclear deal, reports the Washington Examiner.
Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Secretary for Relations with the States and essentially the Catholic Church’s equivalent of a foreign minister, told the IAEA that the Vatican “values positively” the Iran nuclear deal because “it considers that the way to resolve disputes and difficulties should always be that of dialogue and negotiation.”
