Saint Benedict Catholic Formation

The Bible is a whole 'nother story.
CCC gives us four clear guidelines for a just war. They either apply or do not apply.
We can sit back and ask whether any war (Rev. War, Civil War, WWI, WWII, etc) was just, and by the guidelines decide 'yes' or 'no'. We do not need to go to a bishop today and ask "Was the Revolutionary War a just war?" We have reviewed the incidents leading up to war and have reached a conclusion based on what the Church teaches. It is not a matter of 'opinion'.
If, as you say, we Catholics need to be told if it is or not, this would be a matter for the Pope. Bishops are fallible. (that's why the Bible can only be interpreted clearly and correctly by the infallibility of the Pope).
Don't think that I diss the Bishops' authority or anything...it's not like that. I just think that when we are given clear standards and are well-informed of the situation, we do not need a bishopric having the ultimate say. With all due respect.
