I’ve noted that among conservative, traditional churches (those which
keep some semblance of Christianity), it seems that only the Roman
Catholic Church has taken a real stand for peace. Sure, they have
written about just war and such, but the general consensus seems to be
avoid war whenever possible. I contrast this with the Orthodox (who
have liturgical prayers blessing weapons and soldiers), Baptists,
“Orthodox” Presbyterians and such who seem to see war as blessed by
God. Conversely, those churches that play fast and loose with
Christianity (ECUSA, ELCA, PCUSA, UMC) seem to be at the forefront of
the peace movements.

I admit, it gives me pause to consider my own pacifist stance. — pauper frater, As Iron Sharpens Iron

I read something I thought was interesting regarding war / fighting (to
paraphrase awkwardly) “I can chose within myself to turn my other cheek
to a blow, but I can’t stand by and watch my brother get beaten. I will
defend him. May God have mercy on me.”Agreed, Christ did not
preach the removal of “evil” social structures (slavery, soldiering),
but to be Holy in whatever place you find yourself. Tough subject.
