Document. Four page article which appeared in Ave Maria. ~ Many consider the Christian vocation of peace to still be "off-beat" and "extemist". "The indispensable prerequisite for fulfilling the Christian vocation of peace is a firm rejection of war and violence as an option open to those who would identify themselves as followers of Christ." With the presence now of nuclear weapons there is no longer such a thing as a "just" war. The Christian mission is to find moral and effective alternatives to war. ~ Ave Maria ~ pages 6-9
