The document discusses just war theory and criteria for a just war. It outlines two main categories of just war norms: jus ad bellum, which refers to the justice of going to war; and jus in bello, which refers to justice within war. It also examines the relationship between Christian pacifism and just war traditions, referring to the concept in Catholic teaching that the ideals of the Kingdom of God are "already, but not yet" fully realized. The document appears to be outlining topics for further review and evaluation of just war theory and its application to contemporary conflicts.

Work into your response your understanding of what the Church means in The Challenge of Peace about the ‘already, but not yet’ dimension of the Kingdom of God. vt

“ You can’t say that you believe in human dignity or human rights if you’re not willing to defend them.” Maybe ask about this in a way that gets out what the Church is saying about ‘already, but not yet’
