Peace

Let us unite with those who devoutly practice peace, and not with those who hypocritically wish for peace.

- St. Clement I, Letter to the Corinthians, c. 95

To want peace without God is an absurdity, seeing that where God is absent thence too justice flies, and when justice is taken away it is vain to cherish the hope of peace.

- St. Pius X, E Supremi, October 4, 1903

Neither the reduction in the number of weapons, disarmament, nor the absence of war lead immediately to peace. It is essential to create a culture of life and a culture of peace.

- John Paul II, Address on the 50th Anniversary of the Pax Christi Movement, May 29, 1995
