News
Peace, Christianity, Anarchy
Go ogether, Says Professor
by Mary Charwick
NEWS EDITOR"
Colman McCarthy, founder
and president of the Center
for Teaching Peace located in
Washington D.C. visited UD
this past week to talk about
the need for non-violence to
be taught in conjunction with
Christianity in the classroom. A
renowned journalist and current
Georgetown professor, McCarthy
has dedicated his life to teaching
alternatives to violence in both
high school and college courses.
McCarthy bases his philosophy
on the early Christian Pacifism
taught in the bible. He explained
that the reason Americans and
Christians use violence as a
solution so quickly and easily is
because we have peace-illiterate
students graduating from high
school.
''We don't teach the peace.
Unless we do teach the peace,
somebody else will teach the
violence," McCarthy began his
talk.
After touching on non-violent
solutions to war (which McCarthy
refers to only as slaughter) and
presenting the twenty students,
alumni and members of the
UD community with statistics
including a list of countries
that the U.S. has bombed since
the end of World War II, he
began talking about what young
Colman McCarthy,
journalist and adjunct
professor of law at
Georgetown University,
has written several
books on peace,
including Strength
Through Peace The
Ideas and People of
Nonviolence; Disturbers
of the Peace: Profiles in
Nonadjustment; All of
One Peace: Essays on
Nonviolence; and I'd
Rather Teach Peace.
people can do to become more
peaceful.
"Talk to your administrators,
ask them why they are not
teaching peace courses at this
school. This is basic to your
religion and should be taught at
a Catholic school," McCarthy
advised.
McCarthy also touched
on fetal violence and animal
violence, both of which he is
utterly opposed to.
"People ask me what my
stance is on fetal violence, and
I always answer, as a former
fetus I believe you cannot pick
and choose the type of violence
you back," McCarthy said. "As
far as animal rights go, I believe
that if something feels pain they
should not be harmed. This is
something we can do something
about. Don't go home and eat
that steak," he said.
McCarthy is not only a pacifist,
but also an anarchist, something
that he said began as far back as
college.
"Once I realized I was a
pacifist, I decided I might as well
do both and save a lot of trouble.
We only have laws because we
cannot love," he said.
After answering questions,
McCarthy offered students a
chance to look at and buy his
textbooks.
"Remember, your heart is
on the left. Jesus was a liberal,"
McCarthy ended.
