Sisters and lay representatives of sisters' congregations, as well as leaders of Catholic peace organizations, are condemning in the strongest possible terms the US and Israeli war against Iran, calling it "illegal, immoral and potentially destabilizing."

"I condemn what the United States has done," Sr Barbara Bozak, who represents the Congregations of St Joseph at the United Nations, said to Global Sisters Report. "It is an act of aggression and goes against the United Nations Charter. We had no right to do it."

Beth Blissman, the Loretto Community's UN representative, was equally critical, saying it appeared that the preemptive moves against Iran - done without the approval of the US Congress and without much apparent public support - could likely be in violation of international law. "This doesn't uphold our country's values" she said. "This is not going to bring security to the region and it's not going to bring peace," Sr Beth added.
