The Church's teachings on "just war" theory--the use of force

I have been following the recent thread on the Magisterium as it pertains to "just war theory"/the use of force. I have been contributing to an international project concerning these matters over the last couple of years. One of my draft chapters (minus footnotes) deals with a good number of the issues presented in the recent thread. Perhaps contributors and readers of the Mirror of Justice might find some of the points I develop useful for reflection and discussion. The paper is here: Download Araujo on use of force-just war theory
