Pope Francis might jettison idea of a ‘just war’

FILE - In this Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014 file photo, Pope Francis looks at two children as they free doves during the Angelus prayer he celebrated from the window of his studio overlooking St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican. Balloons, not doves, were released as peace symbols Sunday, Jan. 25, 2015 in St. Peter's Square, a year after an attack by a seagull and a crow on the symbolic birds sparked protests by animal rights groups. For years, children, flanking the pope at a window of the papal studio overlooking the square, have released a pair of doves on the last Sunday in January, a month the Catholic church traditionally dedicates to peace themes.
