"To wage war on misery and to struggle against injustice is to promote, along with improved conditions, human and spiritual progress of all men, and therefore the common good of humanity. Peace cannot be limited to a mere absence of war, the result of an ever-precarious balance of forces. No, peace is something that is built up day after day, in pursuit of an order intended by God, which implies a more perfect form of justice among men."
-From the Encyclical Letter of Pope John Paul IV on the Development of Peoples.
