Beyond Christianity: The Universal Reach of Just War Principles |w/Sr. Catherine Joseph Droste, O.P.

Is Just War Theory only a Catholic—or even Christian—theory? In this episode of Angelicum Insights, Sr. Catherine Joseph Droste, O.P. professor of moral theology at the Angelicum, addresses this common question by acknowledging the Christian framing of Just War Theory, especially through thinkers like Augustine and Aquinas. However, the discussion quickly broadens, showing how the underlying principles—rooted in natural law—can be found across a wide range of cultures, religions, and historical periods. From ancient civilizations such as Egypt to contemporary global institutions like the United Nations and NATO, the criteria used to evaluate the legitimacy of war often echo the timeless moral concerns at the heart of Just War Theory: proportionality, legitimate authority, just cause, and the pursuit of peace. This episode invites viewers to consider how certain ethical principles transcend religious boundaries and inform the moral architecture of international law today. This series offers short reflections on today’s questions through the lens of Scripture and the Catholic intellectual tradition. 💬 Have a question you'd like us to explore?
