The majority of Christianists believe in "Just War". The Just War Theory was asserted as authoritative Catholic Church teaching by the United States Catholic Bishops in their pastoral letter, The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response, issued in 1983. It is basically a belief that violence and warfare can be a morally justified means of solving human conflict. Contemporarily, some people believe that the Islamic precept of Jihad, is an expression of the "Just War" concept.
