Pacifism and the Church

I've noted that among conservative, traditional churches (those which keep some semblance of Christianity), it seems that only the Roman Catholic Church has taken a real stand for peace. Sure, they have written about just war and such, but the general consensus seems to be avoid war whenever possible. I contrast this with the Orthodox (who have liturgical prayers blessing weapons and soldiers), Baptists, "Orthodox" Presbyterians and such who seem to see war as blessed by God. Conversely, those churches that play fast and loose with Christianity (ECUSA, ELCA, PCUSA, UMC) seem to be at the forefront of the peace movements.

I admit, it gives me pause to consider my own pacifist stance.
