General

Document. 2-page article in COMMONWEAL by Gordon Zahn ~ Gordon says that the proposed draft of the November pastoral is unquestionably the strongest statement yet by the American hierarchy in opposition to nuclear weapons and war. He says that it succeeds in many ways from unilateral disarmament to conscientious objection, however it does not contain explicit moral guidence that many had hoped for, and it allows for situational use of nuclear weapons that would prove fatal to many civilians. The document makes some advances; however it still allows for the evils of genocide. ~ Commonweal ~ 435-436
