Pope Francis on Sunday said defence
must "always be proportional to the attack" - when it is
"disproportionate", it shows a tendency to "dominate that goes
beyond morality", replying to a question on air strikes on
Lebanon and the conflict in the Middle East.
The pontiff stressed that the actions undertaken by "a country,
any country" which uses "force" in "such a superlative way" are
"immoral".
"War is immoral but the rules of war indicate a morality", "when
this cannot be seen we say in Argentina, bad blood", the pope
said, speaking to reporters on a flight taking him back to Rome
after a three-day visit to Belgium.
