Summary

Peace is not simply an absence of war. Fr. Mike breaks down the Catechism’s teachings about peace as the "work of justice and the effect of charity.” We learn that to cultivate true peace, we must do more than avoid anger, hatred, and harm to our neighbor; we must actively work toward becoming agents of peace. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2302-2306.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

1:16.5	So we can think of like say the Cold War, a balance of power between adversaries.
1:20.4	We've seen here is the Soviet Union and the United States of America that, okay, we had peace because we didn't have all-out war. No, no, no, that's that is not peace.
1:27.6	Peace is the work of justice and the effect of charity. So again, not merely the absence of war and not merely a balance of powers between adversity. of for true peace is ultimately the work of justice and the effect of love.
