They are persecuted by all, and yet loved by all. They are reviled, and yet they bless; they are insulted, and repay insult with honor. What the soul is in the body, that the Christians are in the world.
—Epistle to Diognetus, 5:11-6:1

Pacis et belli — the Catholic tradition on war and peace, from the Fathers to the present. Two sources a day, often paired dialectically: just war and gospel nonviolence, the sword and the olive branch. A reference, not a referee.
