RIGHTEOUS WAR
Defence Of Christian Civilisation British Official Wireless RUGBY, January 20. In the Convocation of York the Archbishop of York (the Most Rev. William Temple) said: “I cannot use the phrase ‘A Holy War,’ for war in its own nature is always an expression of the sin of man, but without hesitation I speak of this as for us a righteous war. It is indeed in a real sense a war for Christian civilisation. “The systems of thought and life in the German State ■ to-day and its ambiguous associate the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics are systems intrinsically opposted to the Christian doctrine.”
