Over the centuries, the Catholic Church has developed a teaching on peace and just war.
Peace: CCC 2304
Peace, it states, is the result of justice and charity. One must always be a creator of peace and reconciliation.
Just War: CCC 2309
If relationships between peoples become so tense that war threatens, certain clear conditions for a legitimate defensive war must be maintained. For example, all other means to resolve conflict must have been exhausted before resorting to military force as a way to defend oneself.
Take a closer look at a current conflict in the world. Write about the conflict as an advocate of Peace or Just War.
