U.S. biships condemn

United Press International
CHICAGO — The nation’s
Roman Catholic bishops, re
sponding to what they say is a
new moment in the nuclear era,
have sharply condemned the
nuclear arms race and called for
new initiatives to halt it.
They supported what one
bishop called the concept of a
nuclear freeze and used lan
guage that is almost exactly that
of the freeze movement in
urging a halt in the testing, pro
duction and deployment of new
nuclear weapons systems. But
they carefully dissociated them
selves from any specific political
proposals for a freeze.
They said they avoided the
exact language of a freeze prop
osal now before Congress, be
cause they did not want to be
identified with a specific politic
al initiative or to have their own
words used against specific poli
tical measure.
“The whole world must sum
mon the moral courage and
technical means to say ‘no’ to
nuclear conflict; ‘no’ to weapons
of mass destruction; ‘no’ to an
arms race which" robs the poor
and the vulnerable; and ‘no’ to
the moral danger of a nuclear
age which places before
humankind indefensible choices
of constant terror or surren
der,” the bishops said.
As a tangible sign of their
commitment to the peace cause,
the bishops vowed to fast and
abstain from meat on each Fri
day of the year and urged their
followers to return to the meat
less Friday tradition to make ev
ery Friday a day significantly de
voted to prayer, penance and
almsgiving for peace.
The debate over the National
Conference of Catholic Bishops’
pastoral letter, “The Challenge
of Peace: God’s Promise and
Our Response,” is far from over.
Lobbyists from both sides of
the nuclear war debate greeted
bishops leaving their meeting
room late Tuesday afternoon
with either cheers or angry
stares following the conference’s
overwhelming 238 to 9 accept
ance of the 44,000-word pastor
al letter condemning nearly any
use of nuclear weapons as mor
ally unjustified.
Their cheers and stares were
only the first round in what
promises to be a lengthy debate
on the meaning and, mort
portantly, the implement Had
of the bishops’ anti-nii
stance.
