This volume unites three disparate strands of historical and legal experience. Nearly from its beginning, the Catholic Church has sought to promote peace – among warring parties, and among private litigants. The volume explores three vehicles the Church has used to promote peace: papal diplomacy of international disputes both medieval and contemporary; the arbitration of disputes among litigants; and the use of the tools of reconciliation to bring about rapprochement between ecclesiastical superiors and those subject to their authority. The book concludes with an appendix exploring a wide variety of hypothetical, yet plausible scenarios in which the Church might use its good offices to repair breaches among persons and nations.

Abstract
At the level of both theology and praxis, the Catholic Church has long had a commitment to peacemaking. This volume explores the range of the Church’s commitment to establishing peaceful relations among contending parties by focusing on three discrete areas of concern. These include: the use of papal diplomacy to resolve international conflicts; the utilization of the tools of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution as a means of promoting the amicable settlement of private litigation; and the development of the tools of reconciliation to restore good relations between ecclesiastical superiors and those subject to their authority. The book concludes with an appendix that proposes a variety of ways in which the Church might use its good offices to repair breaches among persons and nations.
