Additionally, it notes criticism from Catholic leaders who oppose reliance on violence and domination, advocating instead for building a more just and peaceful political order. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © America Press Inc.
