Catholic peace traditions begin with its biblical and classical origins to the current practice in the 21st century. Because of its long history and breadth of geographical and cultural diversity, this Catholic tradition encompasses many strains and influences of both religious and secular peacemaking and many aspects of Christian pacifism, just war and nonviolence. Catholic tradition as a whole supports and favors peacemaking efforts.〔(Kemmetmueller, Donna Jean. "Peace: The Challenge of Living the Catholic Tradition", ''Peace and Conflict Monitor''. May 9, 2005 )〕 Peacemaking is an integral part of Catholic Social Teaching.〔("Glossary", CatholicSocialTeaching.org.uk )〕 ==Definitions== The history of peacemaking in the Catholic tradition reflects the religious meanings of peace, tied to positive virtues, such as love, and to the personal and social works of justice. The Greek word for peace is ''eirene''; Roman ''pax'', and in the Hebrew Bible, ''shalom''. For the earliest Romans, "pax" meant to live in a state of agreement, where discord and war were absent. In his ''Meditations'', or ''To Himself,'' the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius expresses peace as a state of unperturbed tranquility. The English word "peace" derives ultimately from its root, the Latin "pax". Shalom ((ヘブライ語:שלום)) is the word for peace in the Hebrew Bible (''Tanakh'' or (ヘブライ語:תנ"ך)), and has other meanings also pertaining to well being, including use as a greeting. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catholic peace traditions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
