III. Safeguarding Peace
Insofar as men are sinners,
the threat of war hangs over them and will so continue until Christ comes
again; but insofar as they can vanquish sin by coming together in charity,
violence itself will be vanquished and these words will be fulfilled:
“they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more.”111
