At the same time, researchers of armed conflict have produced a considerable body of scholarship on war and its prevention. \u003cem\u003eThe Catholic Case against War\u003c\/em\u003e compares these seemingly disparate lines of thought and finds a remarkable harmony between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on years of Vatican documents and papal statements, political scientist David Carroll Cochran clearly presents the key elements of the Church's case against war. Far from a naïve, optimistic call for peace, these teachings are consistent with the empirical research on the realities of contemporary warfare. The result is a look not only at the explicit moral case against war developed by the Vatican but also at its remarkable realism and relevance to world conflict today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Carroll Cochran is professor of politics and co-director of the peace and justice minor at Loras College.
