    1983 The Challenge For


    Peace
    This pastoral letter from the Catholic bishops of the United
    States begins with a discussion from scripture and
    tradition about war and peace then offers two Christian
    responses to war : just war and nonviolence. The bishops
    describe numerous conditions that must be present in
    order for a war to be considered just. They bishops
    condemn the use of nuclear weapons against civilian
    populations, the deliberate initiation of nuclear warfare,
    and the arms race, and note that nuclear deterrence is
    only to be used as a step toward progressive
    disarmament. Finally, the bishops call for the Church to be
    involved in efforts for peace.
