| description | Peace has always been a
topic of great importance. Its presence is desired by all
nations and societies. It brings the world together in unity. John Paul II considered
peace to be an integral part in creation of an independent and healthy society.
Papal encyclicals and messages, intended to present the response of the teaching
Church to problems that arise from time to time, often dwell on the principles
that advocate peace. Since freedom and peace are in many cases a
privilege for
many nations, the mentioned pope commits himself to speak about the cruelty and
evilness of wars and national conflicts. Pope John Paul II denounces intolerance
as denial of freedom for many people, and consequently a
great threat to peace.
The pope teaches that peace has its roots in the family. Yet, in many societies, the
family is deprived of the utmost importance that it certainly deserves. Without
the adequate means for a
decent livelihood, families can experience hardship in
committing themselves to promote solidarity and a
proper social fabric worthy of
human dignity. For John Paul II, a
nation’s freedom and peace are safeguarded and
promoted through particular attention and a
much-devoted effort by strong and
healthy families. |
