Document. "Catholics needed to support conscience-driven war resisters" ~ Newspaper article in National Catholic Reporter. ~ The article tells of 5 pending prosecutions of 134 men the Justice Dept has decided to make examples of more failing to register for the draft. It mentions the support of U.S. bishops of the right of conscientious objection and refers to Gordon's article on the subject that most Catholics do not know that such a statement was made. The writer echoes Gordon's plea that Catholic parishes and dioceses should take more active steps to put the bishops' words into action and be willing to testify on behalf of those who are facing prosecution. ~ newspaper--National Catholic Reporter ~ p. 10
