Barbarin, Philippe
Facing today’s war without losing one’s humanity - 2017.
63
In a personal, spiritual article, the cardinal-archbishop of Lyon underscores the importance of being morally prepared for military professions. In a profession that involves the experience of violence, men of arms must fortify their inner ramparts, which are essential for protecting their humanity. His Eminence Philippe Barbarin also writes about what peace means in the Christian religion, its origins in the Old Testament, and what Christ himself says about it: a gift that comes from God, a divine command and, according to the apostle Paul, the fruit of an inner battle.
