It's a strange distinction to make. Bombing from planes is bad, but missile attacks? artillery? plain old ground troops using guns? no comment.

But he's not entirely wrong to make that distinction. Aerial bombing can do a disproportionately large amount of damage.

I think it's a little too esoteric. He needs to just say that Catholics cannot back politicians and political parties that start wars of aggression.

He was talking with airline executives in the context of aviation. IMO "no one should be afraid that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky" and the references to WW2 include everything else too implicitly.

If you read the source article, you see that even the theological part uses aviation terms.

Yeah, bombs need to stay on the dusty earth where God intended
