General

Document. 3-page essay written by Gordon with a page of handwritten notes attached. A letter to "sisters" is attached saying he is submitting the piece for the Ligourian project and talking of another paper he agreed to do on what Pax Christi plans to do with respect to the disarmament issue. ~ Gordon recounts the statments issued by the Church hierarchy in regards to the use of nuclear weapons, saying that many bishops now even protest the possession of nuclear weapons as well as their use and threat of use. He contends that each Catholic must decide how to meet the responsibility of opposing war and its evils. Both collective and individual efforts must be made to make peace possible.
