Qualified Advocacy for JustPeace: The Popes’ World Day of Peace Messages (1968–2020) in Historical and Ethical Perspective
During the past half century, the Catholic popes have promulgated World Day of Peace Messages. This article takes those messages as a corpus and critically examines them for their content that supports or detracts from a JustPeace ethic. The authors define JustPeace as combining two elements, peace and social justice, in a creative and mutually enhancing tension. The present article surveys three recurring themes that are particularly relevant to…
Are the Popes Leaving Behind Just War and Embracing JustPeace
Since the mid-nineteenth century a significant, though not yet complete, shift in both the politics and the teachings of popes regarding war and peace has occurred, in an increasingly pacifist direction. More specifically, the emphasis of the papal office has noticeably changed from endorsing violence and war toward embracing the essential coupling of peace and justice, holistic peacebuilding, and active nonviolence.Moving beyond the tendency in …

It Cannot Be Emphasized Enough How Everything Is Interconnected: Ecological Wisdom, Cross-Cultural Insight, and Pope Francis' Social Teaching
When understood as anthropogenic phenomena, contemporary social and ecological crises can be framed as moral issues, arising from human action and neglect of duties to marginalized human and ecological neighbours. In so much as the roots of these problematic outcomes lie in worldview, ecological wisdom can help in fostering spaces for integrated ethical responses to associated challenges like global climate change, social injustice, and ecologica…

Greening God? Christian Ecotheology, Environmental Justice, and Socio-Ecological Flourishing
This article provides a broad mapping of some ways in which a group of thinkers, many of whom identify as ecotheologians, argue for the importance of seeing God (understood as the first person of the Christian Trinity), Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit in a green manner at this time in our planetary history. It simultaneously ties that mapping into issues that are relevant to green, socio-ecological action. Important to the reflections that cons…
If You Want Peace, Work For Justice: ” Assessing Pope Paul VI as a Peacebuilder on the Levels of Insight and Action
Paul VI was the first reigning pope to travel via airplane. On one such trip, he addressed the UN General Assembly, emphatically declaring “War never again! Never again war!” During the same period, Paul VI also saw the Second Vatican Council through to its completion. Vatican II produced an articulation of substantive peace in one of its final documents, Gaudium et Spes. This article employs an analytical yardstick through reading Gaudium et Spe…
In Search of an Authentic Pax Gaia
Many people working in the field of religion and ecology share a concern for peace in this world. For example, the geologian Thomas Berry wrote a poignant essay presenting his vision of the peace of the Earth, a Pax Gaia , which was published in his important book, Dream of the Earth (1988). In crafting a response to the ecological crisis, Berry repeatedly wrote with urgency about the need to rediscover and foster wonder amongst humans in relatio…

God or Nations: Radical Theology for the Religious Peace Movement [Catholic Worker Reprint Series]
This volume is a reprint of William Durland's God or Nations. His monograph was originally released in late 1989, a time marked by the style of American triumphalism that accompanied the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. At that moment in history, it may have been easy to assume that the threat of violence, which had manifested itself in both latent and blatant crises for some four decades, had subsided. It was the backdrop of …

Ecotheology and Inculturation: Implications for Theory and Practice in Peace and Conflict Studies
This article explores how an application of two concepts from the contextual theology movement can inform practice and theory in the field of peace and conflict studies. We proceed by constructing an ecotheological metaphor and providing an overview of the concept of inculturation. We then use insights from these two reflections to help mold a vital peacebuilding methodology. Moving from abstraction to practice, we conclude by presenting two brie…
