I continued my studies in theology and philosophy far beyond the boundaries of the formal classrooms I had been in at St. Thomas Seminary in Denver and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.

Collective security is when a large group of nations agree to not attack each other as well as preserve the provisions of their treaties and/or agreements.
