The Catholic Nonviolence Initiative (CNI), a project of Pax Christi International, is a global movement dedicated to promoting active nonviolence as a core principle of the Gospel. We believe that nonviolence is central to the teachings of Jesus and vital to the mission of the Catholic Church. By fostering a culture of peace, justice, and reconciliation, we strive to heal and transform both human relationships and our planet. Guided by Pope Francis’ vision and supported by a network of over 100 organizations worldwide, CNI works to integrate nonviolence into all aspects of Church life and to empower Catholics everywhere to embrace this path of love and truth.
