Re revision 2019
Peace and conflict
Justice is Bringing abut what is right and fair according to the law or making up for a wrong that has been committed
-
Righteous Anger Anger against an injustice. It is right because it is acceptable to stand up for what is right according to God and can help create justice.
Why violence is Ok - as a response to an injustice. Some believe Jesus showed Righteous anger in the temple so there is an example.
Why violence is not OK - because it causes too much death and destruction to be justified. There is also a belief in the sanctity of life. Some believe Jesus was a pacificst. 'Never again war, never again war' Pope Francis
Nuclear War and WMD
WMD Weapons that kill lots of people or cause great damage., eg Chemical and biolgocal weapons and nuclear bombs.
Why catholic church disagrees with WMD - 1 - Weapons are indiscriminate 2 - negative affects outweigh positives 3 - possibility f success is small. 4 - It costs lots of money to make one rather than social spending. 5 - Haing WMD increases tension and fear
As long as there are nuclear weapons there will always be the danger they will be used' CND 'Nothing is lost by peace, everything is lost by war. Pacem in Terris

Forgiveness (pardoning someone for the wrong they have done) and Reconciliation (restoring of harmony after relationships have broken down)
What Christian believe and why it's important It is central is Jesus Teaching, forgive, not forget. You should forgive as many as 27 times.
What the bible teaches about Forgiveness Jesus forgave Peter for denying him. Also when debt of servant was forgiven by the King but the servant would not then forgive a debt to him. The servant was then imprisoned. you should only forgive someone who is also willing to forgive.

Genesis 2:God breathed life into humans meaning they are more important than other animals. He gave them free will 'God said it is not good that a man should be alone' 'This at last is the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh' 'Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being
