   Whoa!  Better do some more homework.  It is the merest shorthand to call   
   these wars Wars of Religion, when in the main they were political wars.   
   Like saying Terrorism is a war of religion, etc.   
      
   Now, as to whether war is justified and on what grounds, is subject of great   
   moral dilemma.   
   I'm so conflicted about it, that there doesn't seem to be for me to see the   
   issue clearly.  Others have better sight than I, I'm sure. Lewis was not   
   against war.
