Zenit news provides a translation of what Pope Benedict actually said concerning war. The Catholic News Agency offers its takewith more comprehensive quoting. Reuters misses the mark with this heretical headline.
I seems to me that Pope Benedict simply reiterated the Church's stance on war as stated in Pope John XXIII's encyclical Pacem in Terris and the Vatican II document Gaudium et Spes.
I'll post pertinent passages soon, but I'd recommend reading the documents themselves in order to get the context.
