Pacem In Terris The entire encyclical was an affirmation of human rights and duties, appealing to its audience on the grounds of a common humanity within a global community. While it echoes and develops certain ideas put forth in Pope John's 1961 encyclical Mater et Magistra, it is the first Vatican document to address issues essentially on an international order. The only way to establish peace on earth is to follow God's order.

Mater Et Magistra Mater Et Magistra is the encyclical written by Pope John XXIII on the topic of "Christianity and Social Progress". It was promulgated on 15 May 1961. The title means "mother and teacher", referring to the role of the church. It describes a necessity to work towards authentic community in order to promote human dignity. It taught that the state must sometimes intervene in matters of health care, education, and housing.
