Essay. A 7-page typed draft of Bryan's Epilogue. ~ "It is the content of the position expressed by the American hierarchy which is under discussion in this forum. That discussion, if played out in all its details, would go well beyond the topics we have been able to analyze and debate in this session. A full discussion would have to include at least the following issues: the nature and forms of modern war; the nature of the modern state; the tradition of the Church on the morality of war; the rights and responsibilities of the citizen and his relationship to the state; the role of the Church in society, its relationship to the state, its teaching function and its prophetic ministry. . . The point we wish to make is that we think it is possible and desireable for the Church to propose the pacifist option as an objectively valid posture for a Catholic to hold."
