Wednesday, April 23, 2003 Vatican official cautions against U.S. 'moral isolationism.'Cardinal Achille Silvestrini, who advises the Vatican on international affairs, said Pope John Paul II's opposition to the war in Iraq proved to be prophetic and brought Christians together like never before on a global issue. He said there was a growing conviction among religious leaders and among the people of the world that war must be rejected as a means of resolving conflicts. Exceptions may be made for wars in self-defense, but "certainly not for preventive war," he said. (CNS)
