| Summary: | Divine peacemaking overcomes the animosity of man and creates reconciliation out of love (Rom 5:1-11). Christians are called to continue in the work of reconciliation. Christian peacemaking happens as an actual synchronous coexistence of two different conditions with the simultaneity of different principles: human sin and the active love toward people in need (Luther) or the readiness to take responsibility and bear "the cross" of this world in following after Christ (Bonhoeffer). The change of paradigm in Christian ethics toward Just Peace is an important development. However, the goal of legal system promoting just peace by means of pacifism creates problems for the theory of law. La pacificazione divina supera l'animosità dell'uomo e crea la riconciliazione per amore (Rom 5, 1-11). I cristiani sono chiamati a continuare nell'opera di riconciliazione. La pacificazione cristiana avviene come effettiva coesistenza sincrona di due diverse condizioni con la simultaneità di diversi principi: il peccato umano e l'amore attivo verso le persone bisognose (Lutero) o la disponibilità ad assumersi la responsabilità e a portare "la croce" di questo mondo nella sequela di Cristo (Bonhoeffer). Il cambiamento di paradigma nell'etica cristiana verso la pace giusta è uno sviluppo importante. Tuttavia, l'obiettivo del sistema giuridico di promuovere la pace giusta attraverso il pacifismo crea problemi alla teoria del diritto. |
