- Title
The Inhumanity of War and the Fragility of Peace in Light of Political Theology and the Social Doctrine of the Church.
- Authors
Vlk, Mirko
- Abstract
This article lays out views on war and peace in parallel from the perspectives of Carl Schmitt's political theology and the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. For Schmitt, war is crucial for the survival of the state and is its inalienable right. The Church points out the inhumanity of war and considers peace, alongside social justice, to be the responsibility of the international community. Both recognize the need for the moral and legal regulation of war to allow for the prospect of peace, though for different reasons.
