A selection from Dr Daniel Weiss's article, 'Aquinas's Opposition to Killing the Innocent and its Distinctiveness within the Christian Just War Tradition' was quoted in the New York Times.
Dr Weiss's article on Aquinas was cited in relation to recent debates over gun control: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/11/opinion/sunday/christians-support-gun-control.html
The quote comes from an article arguing that Aquinas's position regarding the killing of innocent people differs significantly from other representatives of the Christian just war tradition.
