Bishops to teach
evils of nuclear war
United Press International
DETROIT — The nation’s
Roman Catholic bishops are
preparing to teach that stockpil
ing nuclear weapons for defense
is as immoral as nuclear attacks
on civilians, a Michigan priest
says.
The Rev. Charles Irvin, pas
tor of Church of the Holy Spirit
in Hamburg, Mich., said Sunday
the final draft of a pastoral letter
on war and peace also will say it
is immoral to start nuclear war.
Major segments of the final
draft have been reviewed by
Irvin, one of six U.S. priests who
advise the National Conference
of Catholic Bishops on policy
matters.
Irvin has said the pastoral let
ter retains its strong anti-nuclear
deterrence stance despite
attempts by the White House to
water it down.
“The bishops are very skep
tical about any nation’s ability to
contain nuclear warfare,” he
said. “The letter stops short of
outright condemnation of a first
strike, but' leaves the reader
clearly knowing that the
bishops, at least, see the possibil
ity of containment of any nuc
lear use to be practically impos
sible.”
The nation’s 258 Roman
Catholic bishops are expected
after an early May meeting in
Chicago to issue the letter, which
calls for a nuclear freeze be
tween the United States and the
Soviet Union. President Reagan
says the letter may damage arms
negotiations.
“They see an uncontrolled
arms race that has its own life,
like a Frankenstein,” he said. “It
has such a devastating magni
tude that has to be controlled.”
He said the bishops will link
their letter directly to the
church’s teaching against abor
tion.

publicly since the case began 2.5
years ago, predicted police de
partment morale will be low be
cause of the verdict.
“I think the message has been
sent back to the criminals in the
community who constantly
violate the law — who constantly
create victims — that if you’re
picked up and you give a confes
sion, say you were beaten,”
Woodall said.
Woodall blamed federal pro
secutors for being too zealous in
pursuing the case.
“It was overzealousness on
something
for
everyone
in the
want ads
their part,” he said “It was
pushed on their part. A judge in
our own community threw out
all the charges at one point, but
they refiled them.”
Woodall, 32, and officers
Ronald Brink, Stephen Reboul,
and Richard LeBlanc, were
cleared of charges that they beat
black citizens during the investi
gation into the murder of a New
Orleans policeman in 1980.
Three other officers were
found guilty last Monday of
felony civil rights charges by the
jury in Dallas, where the trial
was moved because of publicity.
The convicted officers face up to
1 1 years in prison and max
imum fines of SI 1,000. They
were fired from the force on
Thursday.
Woodall, scheduled to return
to work Monday, said he was un
decided about going back.
“I have a fear of going back.”
he said. “Em trying to assess if
I’ll even go back. If the situation
would arise where there would
be the possibly of going through
this again, I would be apprehen
sive about leaving myself open
for it.”
