At the same time, researchers of armed conflict have produced a considerable body of scholarship on war and its prevention. \u003cem\u003eThe Catholic Case against War\u003c\/em\u003e compares these seemingly disparate lines of thought and finds a remarkable harmony between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on years of Vatican documents and papal statements, political scientist David Carroll Cochran clearly presents the key elements of the Church’s case against war. Far from a naïve, optimistic call for peace, these teachings are consistent with the empirical research on the realities of contemporary warfare. The result is a look not only at the explicit moral case against war developed by the Vatican but also at its remarkable realism and relevance to world conflict today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By David Carroll Cochran","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43485064757430,"sku":"9780268207908","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780268207908.jpg?v=1726830305","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-catholic-case-against-war-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
