DP 252 Why victory in war sometimes occurs on the side of prudence, not justice

Divine Providence # 252 Explaining contemporary reasons people deny Divine Providence
“(4) That the worshiper of self and worshiper of nature confirms himself against Divine Providence when he considers in accordance with his perception that victories occur on the side of prudence, and not always on the side of justice; and that it makes no difference whether the commanding officer is an upright person or not”
