The Catholic Church has always taught that there is such thing as a "Just War" but very strict conditions must be met. "Preventative attacks" such as our current war against Iraq do not qualify as a Just War and are therefore immoral and BOTH Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI have rightly spoken out against Bush's war.
The use of weapons of mass destruction are not intrinsically wrong in and of themselves. They could be used, for instance, to take out munitions factories or other purely military targets.
The use of WMD would be very limited, though, and of course only justifed if the war you are fighting is justifiable in the first place.
The Catholic Church teaches the principle not only of Just War but of "proportions." That is to say, you would not retaliate against an aggressor who was using infantry only by smashing them with WMD's or atomic bombs. You should use the least amount of force necessary to acheive the victory. Killing thousands or millions at a time just because you have the capacity to do so, is immoral.
P.S. I misread your question..sorry. Thought you said "anti Catholic." To answer your real question, being against a religion is not much of a weapon. It is simply a personally held belief. When enough people are anti-Catholic, though, and it becomes organized, it CAN become an effective weapon against truth. People begin to hate the Church even though they don't know what the Church truly teaches. They have simply listened to anti-Catholic propaganda.

No, but history demostrate us that catolisism really have been a weapon of mass destruction. I invite you read the TEN books recopilation named "Christianity's Criminal History" by the german author Karlheinz Deschner

Anti-Catholicism and Catholicism are both weapons of mass destruction.
People generally take religion very seriously, regardless of affiliation if any, and even beliefs about God if any.
I hope you see your beliefs as just that: beliefs. And realize that peace is beyond beliefs.
People who kill others over beliefs are insane.

if you were meaning to be funny, you missed the boat. A weapon of MASS destruction is nothing to joke about, it is anti- EVERYONE. It kills.

How did you get to be a Top Contributor with crappy puns like that? You should be docked even more points than usual for asking stupid and not even very witty questions.

Only if you read into it too much.
(you capitalized MASS, and I assume it's a play on words)
If not a play on words, then, I would say WMD are anti-life.
