Desarmada e desarmante A paz é um dom

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

A new anthology of writings explores the concept of peace as a gift and a personal responsibility. The collection revisits previous interventions on the subject to highlight how peace can be threatened by indifference and hatred.

The text notes that 103 states are currently involved in warfare. It references a previous description by Pope Francis of the current global situation as a third world war in pieces, characterizing the widespread conflict as unprecedented since the end of the second world war.

The writings emphasize that peace requires active responsibility rather than reacting to offenses or tensions with judgment and condemnation. The author suggests that failing to address these tensions properly allows hatred to spread.
