Pressed, but not discouraged-In all things, bringing the heart of Christ to all peoples, nations, tongues, and tribes. Proclaiming the good and acceptable Day of the Lord. Even in the midst of the storm, the heart of man can know peace. Shalom.

Acton

http://www.acton.org/ppolicy/comment/article.php?article=293

I have used many articles written by The Acton Institute for Religious Liberty. This article may be the best I've seen. The ex-president of El-Salvador, Francisco Flores spoke to this organization concerning the effects of the guerilla warfare that has plagued his country from 1979 until 1992. Much of the war he stated was triggered by Catholics using the preachings of Christ to precipitate war. Many who were devout Christians turned to God, knowing that this was the only way to end the violence. Flores also stated that he doesn't buy into the philosophy that, "poor countries are poor, because rich countries impoverished them." He makes a firm stand against this philosophy, saying that wealth and loss of wealth, almost always comes from within that specific country, usually not from outside the country.
