| 520 | |a Taken as a whole, the Roman Catholic Bishops' 1983 pastoral letter on war and peace, "The Challenge of Peace, God's Promise, and Our Response" has two purposes: first, to assist Catholics in the formation of their consciences; and, second, to contribute to the ongoing public policy debate concerning the morality of war in general, and of nuclear war in particular. This article will address the stated purposes of and the suggestions made in the pastoral letter from the vantage point of American statutory and constitutional law. It will make no attempt to provide definitive legal answers to the many questions raised by and in the letter, for there are none in this complex and challenging area of law. Its purpose is to raise some of the practical legal and moral questions which are critical to the conscientious choices of the individuals to whom the letter is addressed: government officials, citizens, members of the armed services, workers in defense industries, clergy and religious and others.The letter calls upon each person to whom it is addressed to "probe the meaning of the moral choices which are ours as Christians" respecting the issue of nuclear war, and states that peace "is the fruit of ideas and decisions taken in the political, cultural, social, military, and legal sectors of life." It correctly recognizes that conscientious choices are not made by individuals in a moral vacuum, but by "citizens [who] wish to affirm [their] loyalty to [their] country and its ideas" and who must also remain both "faithful to the universal principles proclaimed by the Church" and sensitive to the needs of the world as a whole. | ||
