They are the rule of love, a commitment to justice, and a consistent ethic of life... This critique should increase our love for others and God, advance the full humanity of every individual and promote liberation from every oppressive structure, and resisting all readings that condone the use of violence and lethal force against others, even when such force is ostensibly exercised in the name of justice
