Being American after the Destruction of Gaza: A Letter to Pope Leo XIV

by Dr. Donald G. Boland

A passionate Catholic critique of Western complicity in Gaza’s devastation, Boland’s letter to Pope Leo XIV challenges moral silence, drawing on history, theology, and conscience to confront violence, injustice, and the urgent need for prophetic witness in the face of modern atrocities.

TESTIMONIALS

“‘An irrational patience sows vice, nurtures neglect, and not only invites bad people to evil, but also the good ones.’ (ST: IIa, IIae, Q 158, Art 8). Dr. Boland’s forthright letter opposes this moral evil with clarity and much instruction.” – Frank Calneggia, editor of the selected works of Frits Albers

“Donald Boland’s letter is a courageous, unflinching call to conscience, demanding that Catholics confront complicity in injustice. A prophetic, necessary witness for those committed to authentic moral clarity.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism: A Framework for the Refutation of Atheism and the Evangelization of Atheists
