Violence Does Not Redress Injustice — Philip Berrigan

We Christians forget (if we ever learned) that attempts to redress real or imagined injustice by violent means are merely another exercise in denial – denial of God and her nonviolence towards us, denial of love of neighbor, denial of laws essential to our being. I do not know the man takes many forms, suffers many translations. But all end the same—a denial of our humanity, our daughtership or sonship in God. — Philip Berrigan (Fighting the Lamb’s War: Skirmishes with the American Empire, p. 204)
