“War, in general, is divided into two classes — defensive and offensive. The first occurs when an armed attack has been made on a peaceful society, and arms are taken up in self-defense. The second class, offensive war, is the armed response to an injurious action other than a direct attack or invasion. Theologians have traditionally held that no special moral justification is needed when taking up arms to defend oneself from an armed attack. Although the attacked nation is subject to certain moral limitations when conducting the war, waging war in response to a direct attack is to exercise the natural right of self-defense — pure and simple.”
Russia invaded Ukraine so Ukraine would not be violating Catholic Just War theory by defending itself. If the weapons are used for self defense, then the pope is not wrong.
