There must be cognitive dissonance somewhere because I don't remember the Catholic bishops calling for intervention when Christians massacre Christians, or when Buddhists massacre Muslims. But New Zealand Catholic Bishops are sometimes a weird lot. They were by no means fully opposed to the sterilisation of "idiots" in the 1920s and 30s as I remember. Ambivalent to say the least, which is interesting considering the church's attitude towards sterilisation and contraception in general.
