What about military contractors that dont manufacture arms, such as the firm which assembles and disassembles the monitoring system for army training exercises? Firms that perform mass surveillance, construction, pentesting. What about all the fastfood chains which operate on base? At what point in the kill chain, does participation become un-catholic?

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has this little flow chart that does not go into much detail -- it's no substitute for the texts upon texts that seriously examine the question -- but gives you a taste of the moral calculations involved: http://archphila.org/HHS/pdf/CoopEvilChart.pdf http://archphila.org/HHS/pdf/CoopEvilChart.pdf
