We are very grateful that Vatican News interviewed Marie Dennis (Senior Program Director, CNI) and talked about our groundbreaking project that is the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative.

We encourage all of you to read this interview to learn more about nonviolence, discover real-life examples, and see why it is important for the whole church to embrace it.

According to Ms. Dennis, nonviolence is not a utopian ideal but rather a long-term solution to the conflicts rending our world today.

“When you look at the state of the world, including the most recent horrors in the Middle East,” she said, “what I think is becoming more and more evident is that nonviolence is the only way forward, that we will never get out of the situations we’re in by using more weapons.”
