Because peace is a fruit of the Spirit, we are dependent upon the Spirit’s work in our lives to produce the desire and the means to pursue peace. But we are also responsible to use the means He has given us and to take all practical steps to attain both peace within and peace with others.

INTERDICT

BASIC R.C. BELIEF An ecclesiastical censure imposed on persons or places for violations of Church Law. Interdict is not ex-communication; a person under interdict is still a bona fide Roman Catholic. An interdicted person may not take a part in certain services, and administer or receive certain sacraments. This applies to all residents of an interdicted locality. Interdict was a weapon used by the Pope when asserting his authority over the monarchs and people of Europe.
