Where does the Catholic Church stand on the peace symbols that were widely used back in the 60’s and 70’s? Are they banned by the Catholic Church? I just want a clear and concise answer. Thanks.
I don’t know that the Church has made a formal statement about the peace sign that was used in the 60s and 70s. It’s pretty dated. A version was and still in used by satanists.
For that reason I wouldn’t encourage anyone to use it. The cross is a much better symbol.
