Catholic peace traditions

Much of the article Catholic peace traditions could be merged with Christian pacifism. I feel that it mixes up the notion of ecclesiastic tradition with the modern understanding of secular and political traditions. The end of the article is too focused on the local Church of the United States. It also fails to explain why American Catholics are sociologically no different from the average population in their support for various American campaigns of militarism.

I'm trying this for the first time, so please bear with me. The edits are of my own original posting here, made to avoid a conflict with a copyrighted piece I'll be publishing. Is that vandalism? I have to disagree with ADM on the major point: the Catholic tradition (which I've been publishing on for the past 25 years) does include all these strains. It does not "mix" ecclesiastical and secular, but in fact the synthesis is the very nature of Catholic traditions. Perhaps that can be brought out more clearly? What do you think? On the length of the modern North American section, you may be right. Let me consider some cuts there to bring it into proportion, and address your point that the differences with "average" American thought need to be brought out. Pacificus07 (UTC)
