As the world pauses to consider peace in the middle east, both Israel and Palestine would do well to look again at Pope John's reminder to the world forty years ago, of the Four Pillars of Peace which are the basis of right order in our world.
'It is an order that is
- founded on truth,
- built up on justice,
- nurtured and animated by charity,
- and brought into effect under the auspices of freedom.'
It is not some cheap cobbled together lowest common denominator statement that requires only the verbal ascent of both parties without the commitment of either.
God's love may be free, but peace comes at price.
