Peace Today Development of Nuclear Weapons Conference of Catholic Bishops

“ [The Nuclear Arms Race is] one of the greatest curses on the human race; it is to be condemned as danger an act of aggression against the poor, and a folly which does not provide the security it promises.”

Pope John Paul II “Peace is not merely the absence of war, and it is not limited to maintaining a balance of powers between adversaries. Peace cannot be attained on earth without safeguarding the good of persons, free communication among men, respect for the dignity of persons and peoples, and the assiduous practice of fraternity”
