CZHN 4/04942 Gordon Zahn 1956/1027 Catholic "Separatism" and Anti-Catholic Tensions ~ 4-page article in America written after studying 4,000 letters written to Paul Blanshard following the publication of his book, American Freedom and Catholic Power (1949). ~ Zahn writes in response to separatist allegations made on the part of protestants. He contends that Catholics must be separatist in their behavior if they are to adhere to the formal teachings of the Church, rather than to what is considered "normal." He also says that this separatism stirs anti-Catholic tensions due to misunderstandings, irrational fears, suspicions, and resentments held by enemies of the Church. Any attempt to reduce tensions by modifying behavior prescribed by teachings of the Church would be a denial of faith, however there is no need to give substance to the irrational fears by supporting unnecessary separatist influences within the Catholic Church. ~ America ~ 94-98 CZHN 10/13269 Gordon Zahn - Entry from October 27 1956/1027 Gordon says that he had plans to go on a trip but had to cancel because of the weather.

Medoc does not believe that we should condemn all modern warfare, but rather take each war and look at it as a special case. Said that because of the nature of the war any resistance would be self-defeating. So instead, you should withhold compliance; then when you can do this no longer you should do only the absolute minimum. Medoc stated that he believed there were no pure pacifist Catholics of German authority who held their ground in WWII to the point of execution.

Monsignor Adolph was an intimate friend and political advisor of the Bishop of Berlin during the war. CZHN 10/13112 Monsignor Walter Adolph - Letter in The New World to the editor "Monsignor Adolph's Reply" 1959/1113 Essentially a rebuttal by Kuehn to Zahn's statements about the German Catholic hierarchy and the German Catholic press.

Says that Zahn is unfounded because of: a lack of knowledge of dicatatorships, and no discussion of the confiscation of the Catholic press by the very people they were supposedly supporting. Ends with a brief summary of Monsignor Adolph's life. CZHN 6/09043 Paul Mundy - Letter to Msgr.

Zahn - Letter to Right Reverend and Dear Monsignor Burke 1959/1117 His confidence in The New World's ability to be fair is very slim. He does not buy the editor's claim that he merely wanted Msgr.

States that Kuehn's examples of opposition to Hitler and his regime were examples, but not from wartime so they loose their credibility. He finally concludes that Zahn is correct, while Kuehn was mistaken, because Zahn has presented evidence to make his point, while Kuehn has yet to. Gives a summary of Dr. Mundy's life. CZHN 10/13102 Paul Mundy and others - Letter in The New World, in response to the statements of "Catholic Support of Hitler's Wars" 1959/1120 Letter to the editor section in which numerous people respond.

Placid Jordan O.S.B - Letter in The New World to the editor from Father Jordan 1959/1120 A rebuttal against Zahn's statements about the German Catholic hierarchy and press. Sides with Monsignor Adolph saying basically that Zahn does not know what he is talking about and his speeches while being extremely damaging to him also verge on the very propraganda he is trying to speak against. Points to Zahn's young age and thus his only option of using articles to make his points which do not have the factual basis of actually being there. Says that German Catholics did all that they could in such a repressive dictatorship. It ends with him saying that the spreading of this misinformation needs to be stopped. There is also a brief biography of Father Jordan's.

Attached letter: Msgr. Adolph to Gordon Zahn. Sorry for delay in answering. Zahn does not sufficiently understand Nazi control of the press or resistance to the Nazis.

CZHN 3/03148 Connell, Francis 1960 A letter to Monsignor Fittkau. ~ Connell acknowledges that he would like to receive a copy of the report concerning Dr. Zahn.

CZHN 3/03146 Connell, Francis 1960 A letter to Zahn. ~ Connell is responding to Zahn's "amplified" answer to his question at the conference. Connell is still having difficulty with Zahn's criticism of the pope's Christmas message. An official announcement of the pope may not be infallible, but it must be accepted, according to the pope himself as well as theologians. CZHN 3/03144 Fittkau, Gerhard 1960 A letter to Fr. Belfield regarding Zahn's talk at his conference. ~ Fr. Fittkau accuses Zahn of misrepresenting and simplifying history and sociology.

Zahn is pleased that his attacks are of a personal nature because that shows that his arguments are sound.

CZHN 3/03140 Gordon Zahn 1960 A letter to Father Connell. ~ Zahn is responding to a question Fr. Connell raised at the conference that they had both spoken at. Zahn "amplifies" his answer to Fr. Connell as he was restricted at the conference by "ground rules." Zahn explains his views on conscientious objection and the definition of a just war. CZHN 3/03141 Gordon Zahn 1960 A letter to Fr. Belfield. ~ Zahn is asking Belfield to have any criticism of his talk or of the text that he is about to send him to be brought to his attention.

CZHN 3/03405 Gordon Zahn 1960 A letter to Robert Hovda. ~ Zahn reports that Fr, Connell has written a letter to Fittkau which states that he cannot see how any Catholic university can keep Zahn after openly denying a statement from the Pope. CZHN 3/03404 Gordon Zahn 1960 A letter to Robert Hovda. ~ Zahn thanks Hovda for the support of the letter to the JUBILEE and warns him of the possible reprucussions.

CZHN 10/13233 Gordon Zahn - Background to the Convention Report 1960 Says that this paper on the paper on the German press was not the first report on this general research. Mentions a paper he prepared in November or December of 1957, entitled "Nationalism: The 'Herry' of Our Day" and this paper was well received repeatedly. However, there was resistance to the publication of this paper. CZHN 10/13237 Gordon Zahn - Catholic Reaction - US - America 1960 Gordon writes a reaction to Placid Jordan. CZHN 10/13238 Gordon Zahn - Catholic Reaction - US - Others 1960 Publications which gave notice or reaction to Gordon's paper were: The New World, Davenport Messenger, and America. Ed Morin wrote an article about it in the February 1960 issue of The Catholic Worker, which received lots of response, notably from Dorothy Day. Jubilee published an article by Sylvester Theisen and Placid Jordan. Sylvester, Father Hovda, and Dick Leonard all wrote formal responses to Placid Jordan's remarks. CZHN 10/13261 Gordon Zahn - Father H. A. Reinhold 1960 Espressed his favor for the monograph and agreed to write a preface for it when it was published, but also gave some suggestions concerning the paper. CZHN 10/13236 Gordon Zahn - General - Catholic - US 1960 Gordon sends a copy of the rejoinder he sent The New World concerning the Kuehn attack to the NCWC News Service. CZHN 10/13231 Gordon Zahn - Journal by Gordon titled, Journal Record of a Controversial Research Report 1960 The journal dates are beginning on May 24, 1960 and ending on May 30, 1988. It consists of a number of different entries within the journal beginning with ID # 13231 and ending with ID #13263. CZHN 10/13235 Gordon Zahn - Later Reaction 1960 There was an adverse reaction published in The New World by Heinz Kuehn. However, Gordon was not allowed to defend his paper at first. He eventually defends himself in the edition of The New World where Monsignor Adolph also makes some degrading comments about Gordon's paper. Following this, Paul Mundy published a defense of Gordon while Placid Jordan published a refutation. CZHN 10/13239 Gordon Zahn - Reaction in Germany 1960 There was more of an indirect reaction from Germany rather than a direct reaction. A Dr. Kafka from the Central Committee of German Catholics asked for a copy. Also, The New World when publishing Gordon's rejoinder to Kuehn's remarks paired it with a critique by Msgr. Adolph of Berlin. Gordon notes the similarities in Msgr. Adolph's remarks and Kafka's. In addtion, heard of Msgr. Fittkau who said the German Bishops were up in arms about the paper. CZHN 10/13242 Gordon Zahn - The "Missing" German Reaction 1960 He first held off on sending copies of the paper to others, but then decided to send them so he sent them to six different people. For awhile he did not get a response from any of the recipients. CZHN 10/13243 Gordon Zahn - The ACSR Publication Struggle 1960 It is customary for articles of any merit that are presented at a convention to be published during the following year in the ACSR. Paul Mundy, the editor of ACSR, scheduled publication for fall of 1959. However, the publication was postponed. Father Gallagher, an executive at ACSS, has fears about the publication of this paper. Awhile later, Mundy is relieved of his position as editor and the new editor was told by Father Gallagher not to publish the paper going against the promise he made to Mundy that the paper would only be delayed. This is the summary of points up to the present point June 4, 1960. CZHN 10/13259 Gordon Zahn - The Aftermath 1960 Discusses the new Executive Council. Says that one change is that the ACSR is set out to move to Marquette with Paul Reiss as editor. Nothing was mentioned of Gallagher's threat to resign. However, Seibes will stay which will most likely delay publication of the paper until spring, and the publication in Cross Currents may give the ACSR future grounds not to publish. CZHN 10/13258 Gordon Zahn - The Executive Council Meeting 1960 Discusses the one and a half hour dinner meeting where Zahn prompted a discussion concerning the publication of his paper. Father Gallagher said that he and other members of the board turned down publication of the paper not because of outside pressures, but simply because it was not good enough. Father Gallagher also said that it was Paul's inefficiency that led to his replacement as editor. Eventually, the Board voted and they decided to publish. CZHN 10/13240 Gordon Zahn - The German Reaction "Second Hand" - Father Maguire 1960 Loyola's response to the paper has thus far been one of official silence. Gordon asks for leave and the President does not automatically give approval, but asks to see Zahn in person. The President, when meeting with Gordon, says he has been visited by a "gentleman of the cloth" ( Msgr. Fittkau). The President suggests that Gordon should meet with Msgr. Fittkau. Then had to meet the President a second time who says he was approached by two high ranking officials in Rome. CZHN 10/13241 Gordon Zahn - The German reaction - The McManus Report 1960 Says that Dave McManus from the Helium Press arranged for a scheduled release of the monograph in fall of 1960. Also, says that he received word from Thurston Davis and some Jesuits not to publish the monograph. In addition, McManus mentions the great resistance in German publication and suggests publishing first in France before U.S. or British publication. One major concern is that this controversy will have an effect on the already difficult state of the Catholic Church in both Poland and Hungary. CZHN 10/13234 Gordon Zahn - The Immediate Reaction 1960 States that at no time between the delivery of the paper at the convention and his first meeting with the President did anyone at Loyola, in the Administration, mention the paper with him. CZHN 10/13409 Gordon Zahn - Article published in Cross Currents, "The German Catholic Press and Hitler's Wars" 1960 Discusses the conflict of the individual who is a citizen of both the political and religious community and who finds himself the object of both forces which demand his whole-hearted identification. Talks about this in the context of WWII and the Catholic Church's role in it. CZHN 6/08361 Gordon C. Zahn - Letter to Rev. Donald R. Campion, S.J. 1960/0107 Zahn expresses his disappointment in America's decision to drop the discussion of Zahn's paper on German Catholics and Hitler's wars.

CZHN 10/13189 Werner Cohn - Letter to Gordon 1960/0223 Thanks him for sending the paper on the Catholic press in Nazi Germany.

CZHN 10/13190 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Professor Cohn 1960/0301 Says that regarding anti-Semitism, he found no evidence of this in any of the Catholic papers or episcopal statements, but he found no denunciation of it either.

CZHN 10/13182 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Professor Lukacs 1960/0301 Says that he has been called in twice to the office of the President of the University's office for personal conferences because of the intense pressure that his paper is causing the University.

O'Hern - Letter to Gordon 1960/0311 Says that she will put the study in the mail to Mr. Harrigan today and commented that she thought it was an excellent and courageous piece of research.

He talks to Philip about the revised sections and some additional corrections he's enclosed for the manuscript in Philip's possession.

CZHN 2/02794 McManus, David 1961/0509 A letter to Gordon. ~ He is pleased to hear that Gordon now has a contract with Sheed and Ward.

Sheehy 1964 A letter to the editor of THE IRISH REPUBLIC regarding "The Deputy." ~ Skeffington feels that much O'Carroll's letter was irrelevant because he was just citing his experience.

They are called to Martyrdom for the people and the Fatherland, but not for their religion. ~ THE IRISH REPUBLIC ~ July 1, CZHN 3/03086 Gordon Zahn 1964 A advertisement for "The Deputy" that includes many quotations of opinions, including Zahn's. ~ Zahn, among others, is quoted in a circular regarding "The Deputy." Zahn states that it is historically accurate to state the Church's failure of not issuing a public protest to Hitler, but it is another matter to establish this shortcoming due to the personality and inner motivations of the pope. CZHN 3/03045 Article: 10-11 ~ Gordon Zahn 1964 "The Deputy" Stirs Consciences and Opposition ~ The article uses an excerpt of Zahn's review of the play that was published in THE CRITIC. ~ This article uses the part of Zahn's review that says that the thesis is overstated and that the historical situation must be allowed for.

CZHN 3/03096 Article: Featherstone, Joseph L. 1964 "Did the Church Fail?" ~ An article regarding "The Deputy." ~ Featherstone believes that "The Deputy" is not to be examined as a work of art, because it does not meet the standards of art. It should then be examined as an historical document and used to have the Catholic Church examine itself and admit the mistakes of its past, in light of Hitler's Germany. Feathersotne feels that the Church did fail and should admit its sin. ~ COMMONWEAL ~ LXXIX ~ 22 ~ February 28, CZHN 3/03050 Article: Gordon Zahn 1964 "'The Deputy' Is An Issue To Be Faced" ~ An article by Zahn about the book, "The Deputy." ~ Zahn reviews the book and feels that the challenges against the Catholic Church and the Christian community for the lack of vocal protest to Hitler.

The fact that the Church was manuevered into a position that it remained silent to the genocide is an historical fact that should be examined according to Zahn. ~ THE DIALOGUE ~ 28 ~ 18-19 ~ February CZHN 3/03043 Article: Gordon Zahn 1964 Zahn writes an individual statement regarding "The Deputy." ~ Zahn feels that the play should not be judged by non-Catholics or reacted to in a defensive manner by Catholics.

Zahn challenges Amricans to view this play as a test of maturity of religious pluralism in the US. ~ THE DIALOGUE ~ 28 ~ 6-7 ~ February, CZHN 3/03046 Article: Grunfeld, Frederic V. 1964 "'Der Stellvertreter': The Play That Caused a Storm" ~ An article regarding "The Deputy." ~ Grunfeld gives a narrative account of the play and then discusses the need of the Germans to deal with the guilt of the period. The facts surrounding the history of the era have been reduced to the absurd and the sources used are biased against the Pope, but the play does express the anger of the younger generation in Germany at the time. ~ THE REPORTER ~ 46-50 ~ January 30, CZHN 3/03100 Article: Heer, Friedrich 1964 "The Need for Confesssion" ~ An article regarding "The Deputy." ~ Heer feels that the play "The Deputy" should be utilized as a vehicle for the Catholic Church to examine itself and its actions. Also, when the play is criticized, it should be noted that Pius XII was one of many popes and that the criticism of one man is not the critisism of the entire office. ~ COMMONWEAL ~ LXXIX ~ 22 ~ 656-660 ~ February 28, CZHN 3/03099 Article: Hughes, Catherine 1964 "A Paradoxical Play" ~ An article regarding "The Deputy." ~ Hughes discusses the fact that although Hochhuth does ask compelling questions in "The Deputy" he does not approch them honestly or effectively.

He does not understand his own material very well and he does not present it honestly. ~ COMMONWEAL ~ LXXIX ~ 22 ~ 654-6 ~ February 28, CZHN 3/03101 Article: Lichten, Joseph L. 1964 "A Jewish Defense" ~ Excerpts from Lichten's book A QUESTION OF JUDGEMENT: PIUS XII AND THE JEWS. ~ Lichten points out the all that Pius XII did for the Jews and that a formal statement against Hitler was a question of judgment.

This allows Germany to blame the pope for the genocide, therefore no longer carrying the guilt of this period of their history. ~ THE IRISH TIMES ~ May 9, CZHN 3/03098 Article: O'Gara, James 1964 "The Real Issues" ~ An article regarding "The Deputy." ~ O'Gara asserts that Hochhuth's play is not art and does a terrible disservice because it claims to know the thoughts of Pius XII. He makes the Pope a greedy calculating man who could have stopped the genocide, but chose not to in order to gain fame for himself. The guilt was in the silence of the pope and all Christians. ~ COMMONWEAL ~ LXXIX ~ 22 ~ 653 ~ February 28, CZHN 3/03097 Article: Pope Paul VI 1964 "Letter from Pope Paul VI" ~ An article regarding "The Deputy." ~ Pope Paul VI is defending Pius XII's position during WWII.

Zahn believes that the reactions are due to feelings of guilt, and the production of it in the US will be a test of religious pluralism. ~ NATIONAL JEWISH POST OP ~ XIX ~ 25 ~ 1 ~ February 28, CZHN 3/03085 Article: Unsigned 1964 "The Deputy: The Dimensions of Controversy" ~ Article about the play "The Deputy." ~ The Anti-Defamation League reviews "The Deputy" without ever giving an opinion on it. Many people who had previously reviewed the play were quoted, including Zahn.

In fact, they tried to but there was nobody to listen to them. CZHN 3/03064 Maruca, Dominic 1964 A book review of "The Deputy." ~ Maruca was not impressed with "The Deputy" due to both the characterization which "precludes any true conflict or climactic response" and the lack of historical accuracy. CZHN 3/03063 Schauf, Dave 1964 A commentary on "The Deputy" reprinted from the ADL bulletin. ~ Schauf felt that the play is more of a parable than a history. The message being against the sin of silence.

CZHN 3/03072 Cox, Harvey 1964 Comments on "The Deputy" by Cox for Richard Horchler. ~ Cox responds to "The Deputy" by pointing out the fact that the Christians of the world did not play a significant enough role during Hitler's reign.

CZHN 1/01614 Gordon Zahn (most likely) 1965 A letter to Father Houtart. ~ As a CO, Gordon believes that it is vitally important that the Church make some recognition that this be a legitimate action for an individual.

CZHN 1/01609 Gordon Zahn 1965 A letter to Father Abbot. ~ Gordon is honored by Abbot's willingness to receive a copy of his book about Franz Jaegerstaetter.

CZHN 1/01604 Gordon Zahn 1965 A letter to Joseph Cunneen. ~ Gordon would have liked HR+W to bring out the new volume, but the fact that it would have appear so shortly after ISW and that it would have been an even more limited range of appeal completely justifies that Joe's feeling that it would not do.

CZHN 1/01623 Gordon Zahn 1965 A letter to Leo Cardinal Suenens. ~ Gordon is sending Suenens a copy of his book and hopes that the history of this simple peasant who chose the path of martyrdom, putting what he believed to be right ahead of all other considerations, including a wife and children is inspirational.

CZHN 2/02465 Gordon Zahn 1965 A letter to Marguerite Reese. ~ Gordon tells her that the cost she quoted to produce the play--$1,500--struck him as surprisingly high.

CZHN 1/01624 Gordon Zahn 1965 A letter to Rev. George A. Beck. ~ He is enclosing a copy of his book and hopes that he will find the story of a man's inspiring sacrifice worthy of his time.

CZHN 1/01610 Gordon Zahn 1965 A letter to Rev. John King Mussio. ~ Gordon sees problems pertaining to the revision of Schema 14 as it bears upon conscientious objection.

CZHN 2/02540 Article: An article appearing in Peace News. 1966 The article says that on Monday Geoffrey Chapman is publishing IN SOLITARY WITNESS by Gordon Zahn.

" 1966 The article quotes Arthur Moore, editor of WORLD OUTLOOK, as saying "the problem of all religious activity is that we long to hear the voice of God and too often all we hear are the tones of pompous old Joe and stupid old Bill.

CZHN 2/02557 Article: Chapman, Geoffrey 1966 An article entitled: "Pfui Hitler" (several copies). ~ The article says that Gordon is a Roman Catholic and a conscientious objector. Chapman says that Franz Jaegerstaetter's fate might sound like that of thousands of other victims of our times, but there is something almost amounting to mystery about the serenity and unshakable conviction of this man who stood utterly alone. CZHN 2/02544 Article: Cheshire, Leonard 1966 An article entitled: "Lives." ~ The article explains that Gordon writes as a sociologist, a Catholic, and a conscientious objector. It says that Gordon is interested in the sacrifice involved. The author says (for Franz) it is a straight choice between two kingdoms, Adolph Hitler's and Our Lord's.

CZHN 2/02239 Article: Furfey, Paul 1966 An article entitled "The rules, silence and Zahn. " ~ Furfey makes three comments regarding past articles: (1) He says that Fr. Lutz is making progress--"Now he merely accuses the protestors of failing to give 'solid reasons to doubt whether our involvement in Vietnam is just or not.'" (2) He says that silence and our airmen who carried out the massacres are to blame for the slaughter of noncombatant civilians. (3) He feels that Zahn's book proved that German bishops supported Hitler's wars. CZHN 2/02240 Article: Gordon Zahn 1966 The article is entitled "Zahn defends thesis of book." ~ Gordon says "Placid Jordan's latest attack on my writings . . . is even further removed from the facts than is usual for him. " CZHN 2/02558 Article: Hollis, Christopher 1966 An article entitled: "Beheaded for his belief." ~ Hollis explains that Franz was not a pious youth. As he grew older, he turned to religion in an excessively puritanical form. Zahn interpreted some quotes from Franz as an indication that Franz somehow knew of the horrors of the concentration camps. Many look at Franz as a saint. CZHN 2/02238 Article: Jordan, Rev. Placid 1966 A letter to the Editors of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER called "Comparison to Hitler's wars" (with two other articles attached). ~ Re: Gordon's depiction of Hiter's Wars, Jordan says that Gordon ignores the extreme complexity of the situation. He says that the charge that the German bishops did not examine the morality of Hitler's wars and even cooperated with the Nazi regime is totally unfounded. CZHN 2/02231 Article: Kupcinet 1966 "Kup's Column" (with an attached note). ~ He says that the comment by Francis Cardinal Spellman about the Vietnam war is a reminder of the study by Gordon Zahn on the role of religion in WWII.

Powers at Smith." ~ The article is an interview with Powers and explains that he came to Smith as the college's first writer-in-residence. Powers agrees you cannot teach people how to write if they do not have a feel for character or psychology. CZHN 2/02482 Article: Merton, Thomas 1966 An article entitled: "An Enemy of the State." ~ Merton says that Franz Jaegerstaetter surrendered his life rather than take the lives of others in what he believed as an "unjust war." This is not to say that he wasn't a fighter: he had undergone military training without protest. (Merton's article is a great thumb sketch of Franz Jaegerstaetter's beliefs). CZHN 2/02024 Article: Parr, Garnet 1966 An article entitled "Vietnam. " ~ Parr quotes Cardinal Spellman: "May my country ever be right; but right or wrong--my country." Parr says that this statement was so astounding in its implications that he couldn't believe it had been said. Parr says that "The Crime of Silence" by Gordon sees the Cardinal in rather a worse light than Franz Josef Rarkowski. CZHN 2/02537 Article: The article is entitled: "Memorial Mass For Victims of Atomic Bombing. " 1966 The mass will also commemorate the anniversary of the death of Franz Jaegerstaetter Sponsors of the mass are the peace group, PAX and the Catholic branch of the Fellowship of Reconciliation.

CZHN 2/02533 Article: Wicker, Brian 1966 An article entitled: "Martyrdom by Transference. " ~ The article explains that "an instructive commentary on the debate about Pope Pius XII and the Jews" is provided by IN SOLITARY WITNESS. It explains that Franz Jaegerstaetter was unlike Thomas More because he could claim no theological expertise to match that of his spiritual advisers.

To help support his family while he is writing the book, he received an initial grant from the Fellowship of Reconciliation. CZHN 2/02475 Eileen 1966 A letter to Gordon. ~ She thanks Gordon for his contribution to the Annual Study Weekend at Tivoli. Al Uhrie, a strong follower of the Catholic Worker, was murdered on a New York street last week. She says that Gordon's article in "Peace on Earth: The Way Ahead" brings out, among many other points, the efficacy of stating the non-violent position in terms of the "ascetic ideal." CZHN 2/02517 Gabriel, Louis 1966 A letter to Gordon. ~ He congratulates Gordon on the English edition of IN SOLITARY WITNESS. He says that from the sound of the news reports, it sounds like Gordon is truly in the "thick" of things. CZHN 4/04888 George Shdanoff 1966 Letter to Gordon Zahn ~ Would love to see a copy of Gordon's article on Vietnam in WORLDVIEW. Is waiting for the contract from Holt, Reinhart and Winston (Gordon's publishers). Has had back and forth correspondence with Miss Reese of H. R. and W. re: clarifying contract, but now correspondence has stopped. Asks if Gordon would mind sending his publishers a letter lighting a fire under them to get the ball rolling again. Has already written a rough draft of the play (from Gordon's "IN SOLITARY WITNESS") and wants to contact theatre producers in both London and New York, but can't do anything until the final contracts are signed. ~ 02/14 ~ Los Angeles, California CZHN 4/04889 George Shdanoff 1966 Letter to Gordon re: Gordon's publishers ~ George has received from the publishers on February 18th the signed contract.

Higgins 1966 He is happy to learn that Higgins is one of the signers of the "Freedom Budget" and states they may agree on more than they believe. He notes a case of a friend who has been sentenced to a prison term due to issues of Conscientious Objector classification and asks if the recipient may give the situation attention and respect as it is holds to the idea that all war is unjust. ~ IL CZHN 2/02527 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter addressed: "Gentlemen." ~ He says that at the suggestion of Thomas Merton, he is writing to call their attention to IN SOLITARY WITNESS in the hopes that they might be interested in publishing a Spanish edition of the text. He adds that the book should hold particular interest for all Catholics in light of decisions reached by the Vatican Council. CZHN 1/01618 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter adressed: "Dear Sirs." ~ He says that the article in OUR SUNDAY VISITOR was wrong on two points: 1) He made it quite clear that Hitler's Wars were clearly more unjust, and 2) he made it clear that he COULD respect the Catholic who had reached an opposite (and wrong) conclusion. His principal objection is to those who merely go along with whatever is being done and are not concerned about its implications. CZHN 1/01621 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter entitled: "Dear Sister" ~ He is troubled that the sum he received for speaking at Notre Dame represented a sacrifice on someone's part. He is keeping $10.00 to cover his travelling expenses and is returning the remaining thirty-five so that if it did come from a "collection," the people involved can be reimbursed. If the money came from school funds, he suggests they send the money to the Franz Jaegerstaetter Foundation. CZHN 2/02449 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Artie Shaw. ~ Gordon says that the Jaegerstaetter story was not a promising enough prospect for a movie. He informs Shaw that two Hollywood writers have prepared a play on the book. They are interested in a London production.

CZHN 2/02575 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Bill Klapp (with attached correspondence). ~ He is enclosing a contribution to the Franz Jaegerstaetter Foundation. He would like a copy of the statement by the publisher. He says that he just can't get going on the new book he'd like to write. CZHN 2/02242 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Bishop Wright. ~ Gordon is afraid that Wright has interpreted Gordon's letter as a suggestion to attack O'Brien openly. Gordon says that he is in the "funny position" of agreeing with the rationale behind O'Brien's position (that a modern war fought according to the rules of a just war would lead to certain defeat.) Gordon says his appeal to Wright was more in the nature of an open re-affirmation of the fact that the old rules still hold and must be obeyed. CZHN 2/02244 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Bishop Wright. ~ Gordon was shocked to see O'Brien spell out his (O'Brien's) view that the rule against intentional attack on non-combatants can be discarded. Gordon says that he will use every opportunity to oppose O'Brien's position. CZHN 2/02224 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Fr.

CZHN 2/02567 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Fred Bradford (with attached correspondence). ~ Gordon lists the donations he wants sent to various organizations.

CZHN 2/02563 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Fred Bradford. ~ He plans to go to Washington for that "clergy concerned with Vietnam" meeting. He said that the bank's check arrived and he was glad that the certificate earnings are that high. Gordon is hoping that the play will ultimately show some profit. CZHN 2/02589 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Fred. ~ Gordon says that Fred seems to be stuck on the idea that it is some kind of frothy little vacation for the guy--he left his teaching career to do it. CZHN 2/02564 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Fred. ~ He is enclosing another contribution to the Franz Jaegerstaetter Foundation. During the first week of Christmas break, he will be delivering his manuscript on chaplains which is finally finished. CZHN 2/02538 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Geoffrey. ~ He suggests that Brian Wicker should be sent a copy of the book. He says that WAR, CONSCIENCE, AND DISSENT was delivered to Hawthorn about a week ago. CZHN 2/02434 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to George Shdanoff. ~ Gordon explains that if George could send a copy to Mrs. Campbell, she might be able to use her influence in the London circles, to "get the word around" re: the play. CZHN 2/02590 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Jim. ~ He is writing this hasty note to Jim to straighten out some Franz Jaegerstaetter Foundation business.

CZHN 2/02456 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Joe. ~ Gordon says that Marguerite Reese's letter of February 18 enclosing a copy of Shadanoff's contract for ISW finally reached him. He is worried about the t. v. clause because of the NCCM telecast. CZHN 2/02515 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Johanna Goetzl. ~ He thanks her for her letter. He gives her Mrs. Jaegerstaetter's address. He explains the title of the book to her. He says that a German friend of his exposed Gordon to the case. CZHN 2/02250 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to John McCarthy. ~ Gordon says that it is most gratifying to learn that the CRS operates solely on the criterion of need when it comes to distributing the funds contributed to the Relief Services. CZHN 2/02211 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to John Yoder. ~ Gordon says he spent a week in each of the third and fourth sessions to help Archbishop Roberts prepare interventions--his principle interest lay in strengthening the conscientious objector provisions. Gordon offers information re: the English hierarchy--he spent some time in Manchester. CZHN 2/02577 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to John and Mary (attached letters). ~ He confirms travel plans. He will either spend the night with Mary and John or stay at a hotel room. He wants to talk to them and Fred about Franz Jaegerstaetter Foundation matters who seems a bit hesitant about Gordon's proposal. CZHN 2/02587 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to John and Mary. ~ He discussed finances. He expects to be going to Montreal for an interview sometime in the near future. In a few days, he hopes to send Fred a couple of hundred dollars for the Franz Jaegerstaetter Foundation. CZHN 2/02248 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Joseph Cardinal Ritter (of St. Louis). ~ Gordon says that the discrimination and injustice of our present conscription program remains even after the portion of the Council's Pastoral Constitution given emphasis in Ritter's reply is taken into account. Gordon says that the conscientious objector to a particular war does refuse to "bear all arms" in a war he is convinced is unjust: that is, he refuses to accept any form of military service in such a war. CZHN 1/01602 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Lawrence Cardinal Shehan. ~ Gordon feels that the Archbishop's leadership will encourage more serious thinking on the part of American Catholics. Gordon was particularly impressed by the manner in which he defined the proper role of the bishop. CZHN 2/02246 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Mr. O'Donnell (with attached correspondence.) ~ Gordon feels that there was too great a tendency to temporize, to tone down the moral indignation that religionists should feel and express with reference to certain present policies, military and diplomatic, being pursued by this nation. CZHN 2/02453 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Ray Russell. ~ Gordon says that it is the anniversary of Jaegerstaetter's death. He thanks Russell for his generous comments re: Gordon's book. Gordon thinks it is a most important story and should be given the widest circulation possible. Gordon has trouble with the title: "The Man Who Said No." He makes alternate suggestions. CZHN 2/02451 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Shdanoff. ~ Gordon was pleased that Shdanoff and Russell took no offense to Gordon's suggestions re: the play. He will write Shaw to see if he is still interested inthe play. CZHN 2/02455 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Shdanoff. ~ He thanks Shdanoff for keeping Gordon up to date on the progress of the play; he hopes they can come up with something really impressive. He will be in California for a few days and would like to meet with Shdanoff. CZHN 2/02463 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Shdanoff. ~ Re: Franz Jaegerstaetter, Gordon says that "harvest festivals" were probably nothing more than dances in the nearby village Gasthauses. He also discusses the military tribunal. Gordon says that he was given no "formal" clearance, just Mrs. Franz Jaegerstaetter's verbal OK to use the material she showed Gordon and the willingness of others to be interviewed. CZHN 2/02493 Gordon Zahn 1966 A letter to Signore Mihelli. ~ Gordon feels that IN SOLITARY WITNESS should be brought to an Italian audience, and thus he does not feel that any information in the book should be condensed or eliminated. Gordon could possibly drop of the appendixes and a part of the bibliography if he had to. CZHN 4/04887 Iwao Munakata 1966 Letter to Gordon from Iwao Munakata who is a Professor of Sociology and the Director of the Department of Sociology at Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan. ~ He found Gordon's comments on "The Test of the Just War" at the "Washington Conference on Peace" very interesting and is organizing a group of Japanese scholars "interested in peace research, on the basis of non-partisan attitude." Mr. Munakata is very interested in the peace issue from a Catholic point of view. As soon as he receives "IN SOLITARY WITNESS" and has a chance to read it, he will introduce Gordon to a Japanese publisher. Thanks Gordon for introducing him to Mrs. Kay Shannon. ~ 05/23 ~ Tokyo, Japan CZHN 2/02580 Jim 1966 A letter to Gordon. ~ He has sent the statement to Mr. Bradford. CZHN 2/02588 Jim 1966 A letter to Gordon. ~ He thanks Gordon again for the Franz Jaegerstaetter grant. He congratulates Gordon on his offer from Loyola of Montreal. Re: Vietnam, he thinks it is possible to become so involved in the extremely important forms of immediate witness, and against the Vietnam War in particular, as to sacrifice the work of establishing a deeper perspective on war and peace. CZHN 2/02584 Jim 1966 A letter to Gordon. ~ He was very happy to hear the good news of the almost-approved Jaegerstaetter grant of $1000.00. One of the chapter drafts of the book will be published in the next issue of CONTINUUM. He wrote to a few bishops concerning Vietnam. He is glad to hear that IN SOLITARY WITNESS is being well-received in England. CZHN 2/02570 Klapp, Bill 1966 A letter to Gordon (attached to financial statements). ~ He visited John.

CZHN 2/02249 McCarthy, John 1966 A letter to Gordon Zahn (with an attached letter by Gordon). ~ They appreciate Gordon's interest in and support of the work of the Catholic Relief Services. McCarthy explains that the US government provides ocean freight for all shipments of the voluntary agencies on the condition that when the freight is paid to a specific country, the goods stay in that country. This rule came into play when there was a problem in Algeria several years ago. CZHN 2/02579 McDonough, John 1966 A letter to Gordon. ~ Gordon must be pleased with the nomination of Humphrey as V.P. CZHN 2/02253 McNamara, Robert 1966 A letter to Gordon. ~ McNamara says that in spite of the fact that Dr. Timasheff's book WAR AND REVOLUTION is outside the normal scope of sociological analysis, he thinks they should review it. His standing and longtime membership in the ACSS really demand a review from them. He wants to know if Gordon would like to do it. CZHN 2/02529 Merriam, Tom 1966 A letter to Gordon. ~ He says that he has not discussed the Vietnam War with his pastor since writing Gordon. However, he did speak with Father Delaney re: IN SOLITARY WITNESS who was quite disturbed by the book. He adds that from what he has read, Gordon has done a good job of avoiding extremes.

Gordon also says that the administration at Loyola seemed indifferent to his decision to leave and made no effort to compromise in order to keep him on staff. ~ A JUBILEE Report ~ ~ 56-60 CZHN 3/03502 Army Headquarters 1967 The document lists the information required and the stipulations for applying for CO status. CZHN 2/01971 Article: An article entitled "Moral Dilemma of War Chaplains." 1967 The article quotes Gordon as saying "They [military chaplains] are not asking the questions that might force them to become a more prophetic voice . . . When we read of area bombings with napalm or fragmentation bombs or see the pictures of captives being tortured, it is legitimate to ask how the military chaplain is addressing himself to these events." CZHN 2/01993 Article: An article entitled "Own Zeal Imperils Groppi, Writer Says." 1967 The article describes Groppi as a devoted priest who is almost "fanatically committed to interracial justice." However, a quote from Zahn states that "Father Groppi's own failure, if not refusal. . ." is that he has not made a distinction between relevance and rabble rousing. ~ The Milwaukee Journal CZHN 2/01978 Article: An article entitled "Pacifist Wants Flag Out, Military Training Stopped." 1967 The article quotes Gordon as saying that "until we awaken to the realization that it is not the proper role of a churchman (or a church) to make war, to bless war, or even to praise war and the deeds of war, we will never be able to bring the required measure of dedication to our vocation of peace." CZHN 2/02251 Article: Bell, R. N. 1967 A letter-to-the-editor. ~ The article explains that in a review of DER STELLVERTRETER, Gordon says that "No matter how much weight one had to give to concerns for the institutional well-being of the Church in Germany . . . the fact remains that murder was being done . . . CZHN 2/02255 Article: Gordon Zahn 1967 A letter-to-the-editor. ~ He says that in Nazi Germany Bishop Clemens von Galen of Muenster earned undying honor for his courageous public denunciation of Hitler's euthanasia program. Gordon says that as we look back on these times the moral question shifts to whether it might have been more appropriate to take a public stand against the unjust wars being waged by this regime and its all-out attempt to exterminate the Jews in Europe. CZHN 2/01983 Article: Gordon Zahn 1967 A review of THREE POPES AND THE JEWS by Pinchas Lapide. ~ Gordon says that Lapide sets out to refute the thesis advanced by Rolf Hochhuth and others who have charged the wartime Pope with varying degrees of responsibility for the Nazi program for the extermination of European Jewry. Gordon says that in the process, Lapide has compiled "an impressive and extremely well-documented review of the unceasing efforts of Pius to save the lives of as many Jews as possible and the extent to which those efforts did succeed." CZHN 2/01972 Article: Gordon Zahn 1967 A review of the book I KNEW DIETRICH BONHOEFFER, edited by Wolf-Dieter Zimmerman and Ronald Gregor Smith. ~ Gordon accuses the text of being a "lavish outburst of adulation" for Bonhoeffer. Gordon does not believe the praise is undeserved, only that it is crammed into one single book. He touches over the book's major points: a section discussing Bonhoeffer's younger sister is unforgetable for Gordon. CZHN 2/01994 Article: Gordon Zahn 1967 An article entitled "A Proposal: No More Military Vicars." ~ Gordon suggests that the practice of designating a vicar to the armed forces should be abandoned. He questions whether or not the Catholic Church should ever assume official association with the participation in the military of any nation. CZHN 2/02180 Article: Gordon Zahn 1967 An article entitled "An Explosive Principle." ~ The article is a comment on the Freedom House Movement (which asked people to reject as fantasy the following proposition: "That military service in this country's armed forces is an option exercisable solely at the discretion of the individual.")

CZHN 2/01997 Article: Gordon Zahn 1967 An article entitled "Venal Betrayal or Tragic Hero?" ~ The article reviews the book GERMAN AND JEW: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF SIGMUND STEIN by John K. Dickinson. Gordon says that Dickinson heavily stresses Stein's love for Germany and his faith in the basic decency of the German people as well as a growing sense of "duty" toward his otherwise completely helpless clients. CZHN 2/01999 Article: Gordon Zahn 1967 An article entitled "Wars Will Occur As Long As. . ." ~ He syas that Schall's dismissal of the admittedly utopian principle that "Wars will cease when men refuse to fight" is based on a set of arguments which almost forces one to the cynical conclusion that wars will occur as long as churchmen can be found who are ready to make such generous allowances for "the world as it exists" that they end up with little more than a blend of fatalistic resignation and approving permissiveness as the ultimate guides for Christian behavior. CZHN 2/01967 Article: McGrory, Mary 1967 An article entitled: "Fr. Groppi is Saying--Non-violence on Trial." ~ The article explains that Fr. Groppi uses non-violence as a tactic; he does not embrace it as a philosophy. He has been jailed and teargassed and is proud of it. "He is both a new breed Catholic Priest and old style civil rights agitator." CZHN 2/02025 Article: Slizeski, R. S. 1967 A short note which thanks ACT and Gordon ("Catholics, War and Pacifism.") ~ Slizeski can think of nothing more delightful than attending, with Mr. Zahn, a parish injury class on draft evasion. CZHN 2/01717 Article: The Editors of the U. S. CATHOLIC 1967 An article entitled: "THE WAR IN VIETNAM IS IMMORAL" ~ The article states that the Vietnam war in wrong, unjust, and at the heart of a moral question, yet they do not "impugn the sincerity or good will of those who believe the war" to be moral.

He believes that the "communists initiated the use of force and insist on the continuance of deliberate terror and killing of civilians in a world-wide drive to destroy uncommunist governments. Thus, if our "counterforce kills communist-controlled civilians, horrible as the choice may be, let our bombs kill those civilians rather than our American GI's."

" Birnly thinks Gordon is using "sociological gobbledegook" to say: "Hey, hey, LBJ! How many kids did you kill today?" Birnly feels that Gordon should be addressing the basic moral problem of whether or not modern warfare, with its inevitable civilian casualities is ever justified for any reason.

" ~ 5 page article in WORLDVIEW ~ Gordon's article is a review of Carl Amery's book Capitulation: The Lesson of German Catholicism as well as a reflection of the events of the time. He says that Avery's view mirrors his own and admits that Avery used Gordon's own book liberally as a reference. He asserts that just as the church submitted to its relationship with Hitler and his regime, often Catholics are obsessively obedient to the church, yet not always true to morality. Avery also points out that the church is declining in power, contending that it is a positive development. Because church leaders can no longer count on the solidarity of its "flock," they are forced to reassess and redefine the proper roll of the church. Gordon relates the capitulation of the church during Nazi Germany to the stance of the church at the time of his writing. He urges church leaders and members not to make the same mistake of capitulation. CZHN 4/05021 Gordon Zahn 1967 Michael Harrington, William V. O'Brien ~ Selective Conscientious Objection--"An Explosive Principle" (Zahn) ~ 3-page article by Zahn along with 3-page articles by Harrigton and O'Brien on the same subject. ~ Zahn contends that if our nation is sincere in its proclamations of democracy and freedom, then any individual who refuses to fight on moral grounds must be respected and supported. He points out the hypocrisy in recognizing members of "peace churches" as conscientious objectors, but not individuals who have deep moral convictions. He also claims that those with deep moral convictions are forced to violate them because they have to pay taxes that go to support the war efforts, and proposes a principle of "conscientious objection to taxation." ~ Worldview ~ vol. 10 ~ no. 3 ~ March ~ 4-6 CZHN 4/04939 Gordon Zahn 1967 Selective Conscientious Objection, An Explosive Principle. ~ Rebuttal to the Freedom House statement concerning conscientious objection as it appeared in the New York Times. ~ Contrary to statements in the Times: Historically, service was voluntary so a personal conviction that a given war was unjust would allow them to excercise that option. Zahn contends that a similar conviction and subsequent refusal to serve in the Vietnam War must be respected and supported by our nation if we are truly democratic. Not only those who are members of "peace churches," but also individuals with personal moral conviction should be allowed the conscientious objector classification. A new principle of "conscientious objection to taxation" should also be introduced so that the person who refuses to kill will also not be responsible to subsidize the killings, and "alternative payments" could be arranged. ~ Worldview ~ 03/? ~ pages 4-6 CZHN 4/05019 Gordon Zahn 1967 Wars Will Occur As Long As. . . ~ 5-page article inside entire journal issue. ~ Discussion of Carl Amery's book, Capitulation: The Lesson of German Catholicism .

" ~ Gordon begins by stating that his personal opposition to the American military operations in North and South Vietnam derives from a broader commitment to religious pacifism.

He then goes through the major philosophical arguments: human rights begin at the moment of conception; to argue against the viability of a fetus is the same as arguing for euthanasia of the elderly or mentally retarded; society has a responsibility to the fetus, especially when it is most dependent upon society; and even under tragic circumstances such as rape, respect for life should prevail. de Marco claims that Zahn erred when he failed to consider the question of contraception with abortion. He reiterates many of Zahn's arguments, questioning a few points, and says that overall Zahn's essay is a powerful and logical one. de Marco wonders why more of the objection against the killing in Vietnam is not translated to objection against abortion. ~ Child and Family ~ Vol. 10 ~ No. 4 ~ 330-343 CZHN 4/04920 Gordon Zahn 1971 Francis J.

CZHN 2/02966 Article: Daly, Mary 1972 "Abortion and the Sexual Caste" ~ An article on abortion from a magazine with two attached articles. ~ Daly is discussing the fact that most of the literature on abortion, and all of those that vote against it in the Catholic Church, are men, and they cannot realize the societal caste system that is part of a woman's daily life.

CZHN 3/04615 Article: Gordon Zahn 1972 A 6-page typed article for the issue in AMERICA centering on Dorothy Day entitled, "Leaven of Love and Justice." ~ Gordon writes that Dorothy opposed participation in the CO program at the onset because she considered it a form of cooperation with the war and conscription. Peace like other issues engaged the efforts of the Movement--"its total and never wavering identification with the poor, the aged, the sick, and the outcast; its insistent demands for social justice for the worker and an end to all forms of race prejudice and discrimination. . . Most disheartening of all to its adherents is the obvious fact that, forty years after its founding, the Worker is still unsuccessful in its efforts to unleash the full revolutionary force of Christianity. . . There is no way to foretell how this dilemma will be resolved or whether the Worker will continue to benefit. " CZHN 2/02968 Article: Gordon Zahn 1972 A letter to the editor. ~ The second of two attached articles from a magazine. ~ Zahn is responding to Mary Daly's "Abortion and Sexual Caste." He does not agree with her excluding men's opinions simply on their gender and her use of the word "caste" for women is refuted by her own position. He also responds to her statements on the shortcomings of his article on abortion. ~ Commonweal ~ 470-1 ~ February 19, CZHN 8/10552 Article: Helmut Heiber - Article, Goebbels 1972 about the Nazi party and Hitler's propaganda, German dictatorship, and the Goebbels family. ~ ~ New York CZHN 2/02967 Article: Steinfels, Peter 1972 "Women and the 'Feminist' Ethic" ~ One of two attached articles from a magazine. ~ Steinfels challenges Mary Daly's earlier article "Abortion and the Sexual Caste." Steinfel does not agree with her belief in the "experience and needs of women" and the repeal of abortion. He feels that men are capable of just as strong sentiments as women. ~ Commonweal ~ 462 and 471 ~ February 18, CZHN 3/04616 Gordon Zahn 1972 A 2-page typed book review on James W. Douglass', "Resistance and Contemplation: The Way of Liberation." ~ Gordon writes that "It is not an easy book to read if only because so much of its message is couched in poetic and esoteric, often overly obsure, abstractions and generalization. . . I cannot challenge its applicability, but it left me wondering whether a direct statement of the argument in terms and concepts more familiar to the Christian audience to whom the book is presumably addressed might not have made his point with far greater clarity . . . ." CZHN 3/04575 Gordon Zahn 1972 A 3-page typed book review on Gil Elliot's "Twentieth Century Book of the Dead." ~ "The author sets himself to the herculean task of 'naming' the dead and thereby bring the mass into a more manageable perspective so that we might judge where we are and, more important, where mankind is headed unless we somehow gain control over our death-dealing propensities and predispositions." Gordon states that though Elliot's attempt to "name" the dead is impossible, it was well worth the attempt because the result of his efforts is a book with a message that will not be easy to forget. CZHN 3/04577 Gordon Zahn 1972 A 6-page typed book review on Ladislas Farago's "The Game of the Foxes," J. C. Masterman's "The Double-Cross System," and E. H. Cookridge's "Gehlen, Spy of the Century." ~ Gordon states that "what these books sacrifice in flamboyance of style and excess of measure permitted to the fictional representations is more than compensated for by the chilling realization that this 'game' is no game or, even worse, to the extent that it is, all or us, the readers included, are the insignificant counters in the high stakes for which the players contest." These books mesh well together and have the common theme of spies and counterspies. CZHN 3/04587 Gordon Zahn 1972 A collective review of the current interest in utopia and communes by looking at George Kateb's "Utopia," and "Utopia and Its Enemies," Peyton E. Richter's "Utopias: Social Ideals and Communal Experiments," and Ron E. Roberts' "The New Communes." Rough draft to published documents 4562 and 4563. ~ "The four books listed here are but a sampling of books devoted to the new utopianism and its close relative (in some instances, its legitimate offspring), the commune movement. Keyed as they are to classroom use, these volumes offer little more than a superficial description; but this should be introduction enough to inspire the reader to incorporate the study of utopian thought and its behavioral implications into the standard sociology course or program." CZHN 3/04563 Gordon Zahn 1972 A collective review of the current interest in utopia and communes by looking at George Kateb's "Utopia," and "Utopia and Its Enemies," Peyton E.

Masterman played an important part in this operation and served as its official historian. His book is the report completed in 1945." Cookridge's book "combines the suspenseful narrative qualities of Farago with the professional expertise of Masterman and, in addition, it provides a rare mixture of detached analysis and evaluation with overtones of a strong dislike (perhaps not fully realized by the author himself) of all that Gehlen personified and the subtle but sinister threat that organizations like his present to international order and peace."

He states that there are compelling evidence that Pius XII did know of the encyclical under consideration, and that it did in fact serve as the model for "Summi Pontificatus." He believes that the newly "discovered" encyclical adds a new dimension to the problem.

Gordon believes that had it been released on schedule, indirectly and over the long run the encyclical would have made a difference in opposing racial discrimination earlier. But now, it's an opportunity lost.

This is a duplicate copy of document 4568. ~ This article was written for publication in the MONTH as a tribute to Archbishop Roberts. Gordon writes about the important contributions Archbishop Roberts has made to the fuller understanding of the individual's right to set those limits as they relate to his own moral behavior. Roberts prefers instead to speak of "conscientious abstention" (rather than conscientious objection). There are some advantages to the term he proposes: abstention is a broader concept; it would include refusal to obey, intentional avoidance of voluntary participation, and even partial obedience. The basic lesson to be learned is that what is really required of the Christian is nothing less that conscientious action in all situations and under all circumstances.

Issues remain to be solved. Amnesty is one, yet others are in danger of being overlooked or ignored and foremost among these in terms of importance and urgency is an honest and thorough moral assessment of the war according to the traditional standards and conditions set forth in the classic theological formulations of the so-called "just" war.

The coroner made remarks that the soldiers were murderers, and the bishop responded by saying that the soldiers killed in self-defense and defense of the civilian population. When asked if Catholic soldiers experienced moral dilemmas or questioned orders to kill, the bishop replied, "No, no, if every soldier questioned his orders, where would we get to?" He said a significant proportion of the soldiers were Catholic and he was proud to be associated with them. ~ newspaper--The Irish Times ~ 9/6 ~ p. 8 CZHN 4/05603 Course description for "Dissent and Affirmation," an interdisciplinary course offered in a joint effort from various colleges in the Seattle area.

Gordon asserts that church involvement in politics is not always a bad thing and church leaders should use their influence to affect political outcomes and decisions to the advantage of the mission of the church. He warns that the manner in which the influence is exerted is crucial and the German experience is particularly instructive. Gordon says that a wall of separation cannot be built between church and politics, no clear boundaries can be drawn, and the church needs to assure due recognition of the moral dimensions of social and political issues without repeating the mistakes of the past. CZHN 4/05608 Gordon Zahn 1973 Book review for THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER of "The Churches and Politics in Germany" by Frederic Spotts. ~ Gordon says Spotts has achieved producing a well-balanced review and critical analysis of that part played by churches in modern German political history. He summarizes some of the involvements detailed in the book and gives his opinion that leaders of the church have the right and obligation to alert members to the moral dimensions of social and political issues. He says the church must not avoid political involvement, rather it needs to find a better way to make its influence felt. ~ September CZHN 5/06697b Invitation to the Fall Convocation at La Salle College on 10/21 for the awarding of honorary degrees to Gordon Zahn and Geneveive Blatt. 1973 CZHN 3/04553 Melrose Press Ltd. 1973 An approximately 7" x 5" sheet of paper publicizing "Men of Achievement 1973." ~ "Upon publication of Volume 1 of this important work copies will be despatched to the world's most famous men and to the leading Libraries of the world. . .

A note from the editor of WORLDVIEW is attached asking Gordon to write a reply to Johnson so that they can both be published in WORLDVIEW. A short note from Gordon is attached as well, accompanying his reply. ~ Johnson disputes Zahn's claims, saying that the modern-war pacifist avoids responsibility for himself by his advance judgment that war today is immoral and removes himself from the political process where force is often necessary to produce or maintain right. He claims that Gordon shows misunderstanding of what is possible in regard to limiting war by just war constraints by misunderstanding the nature and scope of just war doctrine and the nature of international law on war. Gordon responds by maintaining that modern war and everything that accompanies it is incompatible with Christianity. He says that Johnson settles for too little if he can be satisfied with a fatalist acceptance of war as a fact of life with the mere hope that some of them can serve the ends of justice, order and peace. Gordon contends that all wars, by definition, are the antithesis of peace and create disorder and injustice. ~ Gordon's letter is dated 10/22 CZHN 3/04600 Gordon Zahn 1973 An abstract written for publication entitled "Is Peace Activism Appropriate in the Classroom." ~ Gordon believes that education should never be converted to an instrument for imposing pre-conceived conclusions or values.

CZHN 3/04637 Shaw, Russell 1973 A 50-page transcript of the dialogue, January 22, 1973, edited by Mr. Russell Shaw entitled, "Just War and Pacifism. " ~ The dialogue is between Lane, Zahn, Lyons, Murray, Komonchak, Dougherty, Jennings, Durkin, Finn, Hehir, and Hamilton. Lyons brings up that "we are talking about the state going to war, not about military force as it is used in many other cases. Also, when you talk about the individual, that is simply conscientious objection. That is not what we call pacifism. We go along with conscientious objection on the part of the individual. We have got to talk about pacifism as meaning opposition to war as an activity of the state--the state going to war, not a person being drafted." Lane states "We agree that the state must always proceed morally, and we make no defense of the immoral judgments of the state. But, we must separate the judgment of particular issues from the principles, rights and duties of the state and of the obligations of citizens to this state.

A copy of True's article is attached as is Gordon's response. ~ True's article is written in response to Gordon's article concerning the future of the Catholic Peace Movement. He compliments Gordon on numerous counts, but asks how he can recommend that members of the peace movement present themselves as loyal and committed members to the institutional Church which is racist, sexist, capitalist, and parochial. He says that Gordon's definition of Catholic is too narrow and he is counting out many members of the peace movement. Gordon responds that True's charges of the Church are accurate; however those who love the Church must work for changes in the institution from within, enduring some of its demands in the process. He asks where the Church would be if pacifists such as Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton has worked from outside the institutional Church. ~ 2/23--Gordon's response date CZHN 4/05611 Gordon Zahn 1973-1974 Rev. Alden Brown ~ Chaplain of Booklyn Newman Center ~ Correspondence between Rev. Brown and Gordon Zahn ~ 12/20/73--Rev.

CZHN 4/05615 Gordon Zahn 1973-74 "The Future of the Catholic Peace Movement: A Personal Appraisal" ~ 15-page essay written by Gordon and later published regarding the post-war prospects of the Catholic peace movement. ~ He outlines the responsibilities of the peace movement as working for amnesty for war resisters, to free political prisoners held by the U.S. in South Vietnam, and to rebuild destroyed area of Indochina. He says once these things are done, new policies and priorities must be promoted, and an assessment of the war must be made according to the just war conditions and principles as well as an assessment of the validity of these principles. He goes on to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Catholic peace movement for a number of pages and outlines the task for the peace movement as it moves into the post-Vietnam era. He details the progress that has been made over the years giving credit to a number of peace organizations. CZHN 4/05525 Tom Cornell, Bishop Dozier 1973-74 Correspondence concerning CPF's stance on abortion, the considerations, and a proposed statement by CPF on abortion. ~ 12/20/73--Bishop Dozier writes Tom in response to his letter concerning abortion. He basically says that he doesn't think you can be for peace and for abortion. 1/10/73--Tom writes Eileen Egan about the aboriton issue. He comments at length about the conception of abortion in the law, in the medical profession and in society. He makes an analogy between the Catholic disarmament campaign and its abortion campaign, and comments on Bishop Dozier's letter. FOR needs to establish a position on abortion and come out with a statement, however difficult it will be to come to agreement. 3/15--Tom writes to Al Hassler of FOR to thank him for his criticisms of the CPF proposed paper on abortion and says the tone of the statement is under reconsideration. 3/19--Tom writes Gordon about the abortion statement reiterating the general consensus that a line refering to reasons for why people get abotions is too harsh.

CZHN 3/04589 Gordon Zahn 1973/0108 A letter to Dave. ~ Gordon informs Dave that he will be more than willing to go and meet his class. He doesn't recall making any arrangements with Bob Manning so anything he sets up (preferably later than February) will be OK, because he's busy with another project going with the USCC in Washington. Gordon also inquires about that statement a group of them worked out for the Boston bishops' meeting. He saw their statement deploring the resumption of bombing, so he supposed that took precedence over the amnesty thing. CZHN 3/04593 Gordon Zahn 1973/0108 A 3-page typed "Addendum" prepared by Gordon Zahn in regards to James R. Jennings' memo (document 4592) on January 11, 1973 RE: Dialogue on Catholic Pacifism. ~ "Throughout her entire history, the Church has reserved her highest honors for those martyrs and saints who defied the power of princes and principalities by refusing to abandon their faith and obey commands they believed contrary to that faith." He also states that the responsible leaders of the Catholic community are to be commended and encouraged to continue and expand their efforts until these objectives have been attained. CZHN 3/04591 Jennings, James R. 1973/0109 A memo RE: Dialogue on Catholic Pacifism. ~ James states that Gordon agreed to prepare initial draft of opening response referred to in Dougherty's January 4, 1973 letter to General Lane and will complete it by January 15, and circulate to Dougherty, Finn and Jennings so that final copy will be ready for presentation on Monday, January 22. He also contacted Rev. J. Bryan Hehir to join Rev. Joseph Komonchak as observor-participant at the January 22 meeting. He was also able to have Russ Shaw agree to act as transcriber for the dialogue of January 22. CZHN 4/05619 Gordon Zahn 1973/0110 2 essays written by Gordon regarding conscientious objection and its relationship with Church doctrine--one is written in response to the "Memorial" dialogue written by General Lane and his committee and presented at the exchange of papers on Catholic pacifism. The other touched on the selective obedience principle. 2 letters are attached to Jim Finn and Jim Jennings discussing his viewpoints and his feeling that they will mean little to General Lane and his committee and other details. ~ "Response"--Gordon writes that the "Memorial" proceeds as if pacifism were condemned by the Church, and goes on to cite numerous occasions when it was accepted by members of the Church. He outlines the various Conscientious Objector positions, saying that all three need to be recognized as legitimate by the Church. He says the Memorial ignores the application of just war theory which implies it is incongruous with the teachings of the Church. "Addendum"-- Gordon explains and defends the selective obedience principle, applying it to instances in the Church that are not exclusive to war only. CZHN 6/08176 Andrew Weigert - Letter to Prof. Gordon Zahn 1973/0111 Weigert sends his review of NCCB "Psychological Study of American Priests. " Article attached to letter. CZHN 3/04592 Jennings, James R. 1973/0111 A memo RE: Dialogue on Catholic Pacifism. ~ Enclosed is a copy of an "Addendum" prepared by Gordon Zahn. In his transmittal letter to me, Gordon asked that it be circulated to Bishop Dougherty and James Finn (and others), so that they may be prepared for later introduction of the "selective obedience" dimension in the dialogue. CZHN 3/04576 Article: 1973/0112 An article in the COMMONWEAL on page 315 entitled "The Non-Encyclical." ~ "Would publication of an encyclical specifically condemning racism and anti-Semitism have accomplished anything?" Gordon Zahn thinks an explicit encyclical would have helped the more crucial state of the Jews in Europe. "Nazi anti-Semitic practices would not have stopped," Zahn writes in the NCR, "but they may not have escalated to the stage of planned extermination. . .

Houtart thanks Gordon for sending him a copy of his article and was grateful to him for having taken the necessary time to write it. Fr. Houtart knows that it is sometimes difficult to answer friends' request, but he was personally attaching great importance to Gordon's contribution, in an issue of Social Compass on 'Religion and Peace'.

He lists them and also provides his biographical material which he believes should be sufficient. At the very end he notices that excerpts published in the FA should be sufficient citation for the bibliographical reference of the one book he could not find--the Volk. CZHN 3/04599 Gordon Zahn 1973/0120 A letter to Alan Newcombe. ~ Gordon states that it has been impossible for him to get the abstract in sooner due to having been away for several weeks and returning with a load of term papers, exams, etc. "The enclosed is a recollected re-construction, accurate I think, of the principal points I tried to make." CZHN 3/04598 Gordon Zahn 1973/0120 A letter to Tom Stonier. ~ Gordon enclosed a copy of the abstract he sent to Alan Newcombe.

He states biographical material (place and date of birth, education, occupation, involvement, etc.) His topic--something general about war and conscience. He would expect to touch upon his current notion of "selective obedience", the problem of amnesty, the need to make some firm moral judgment of what Vietnam meant, even though it is over (or is it?). And, of course, an argument for the "new pacifism" discussed in the Saturday Review piece. He expects to be speaking in a Catholic moral context.

His first suggestion is to stress the importance of the broader issue in the contemporary context. "It is right and necessary that the American hierarchy assume its proper share of the responsibility for providing such moral guidance." His second is to respond to their challenge as to how they are to defend themselves and the state against Communism. His third is to discuss the unwillingness to uphold the rights of the individual conscience against the imposed judgments of the state.

"It is right and necessary that the American hierarchy assume its proper share of the responsibility for providing such moral guidance. " His second is to respond to their challenge as to how they are to defend themselves and the state against Communism. His third is to discuss the unwillingness to uphold the rights of the individual conscience against the imposed judgments of the state.

He was disappointed that the book in the French edition did not produce more of a reaction in France. He goes on about more positive reactions from other countries and how the story has changed people's lives in Australia. He suggests that they get in touch with the French branch of Pax Christi to sell the books at a discounted price.

Walsh. 1973/0301 The Jesuit publication of the MONTH. Tribute to Archbishop Roberts on his 80th birthday. "The Limits of Legitimate Authority," by Gordon Zahn on pages 84-88. ~ "When and if the moral theologians accept the challenge of the possibilities opened by such a theory of selective obedience, they might do no better than to start with the 'intelligent obedience' described and defended by Archbishop Roberts. Once this is done, the problem about the term to be employed -- conscientious objection or conscientious abstention -- will have been resolved in the new realisation that what is really (and always) required of the Christian is nothing less than conscientious action in all situations and under all circumstances. And that, when one comes down to it, is the basic lesson to be learned fom the courageous and inspiring churchman we honour in these pages." CZHN 3/04635 Murray, Harrold 1973/0305 A 2-page memorandum to "Participants in the Dialogue of January 22, 1973." RE: Transcript of the Dialogue.

He says that Russell has done a good job of reducing the discussion to a manageable level. However, he believed it read too "jumpy"; issues are raised and dropped with a seemingly unrelated or loosely related new issue taking over. By either separating asterisks or italizicing inserts, two points would benefit. To involve the brief exchange between Durkin, Hehir, and Finn on the question of the translation differences. Also Komonchak's very telling refutation of the Durkin citations in the Memorial should not have been omitted altogether. CZHN 3/04639 Gordon Zahn 1973/0312 A letter to Mr. James Finn. ~ Gordon comments on Peter Berger's "Briefing" as being excellent; it's the kind of "lighter" touch WV needs to balance the overbearing profundity of much of the other material. He also comments on how the Russell piece on proportionality reminded him of the "conventionality" piece of his own. He also comments on how the "dialogue" transcript was disappointing, but believes it has potential. CZHN 1/00326 Gordon Zahn 1973/0312 letter to "Nu" ~ will be on a discussion group on a local T.

Bryan 1973/0409 A 7-page typed draft of Bryan's Epilogue. ~ "It is the content of the position expressed by the American hierarchy which is under discussion in this forum. That discussion, if played out in all its details, would go well beyond the topics we have been able to analyze and debate in this session. A full discussion would have to include at least the following issues: the nature and forms of modern war; the nature of the modern state; the tradition of the Church on the morality of war; the rights and responsibilities of the citizen and his relationship to the state; the role of the Church in society, its relationship to the state, its teaching function and its prophetic ministry. . . The point we wish to make is that we think it is possible and desireable for the Church to propose the pacifist option as an objectively valid posture for a Catholic to hold." CZHN 3/04621 Gordon Zahn 1973/0411 A 4-page typed edited draft of Gordon's Epilogue. ~ "It is the content of the teaching supported by the American hierarchy which is under discussion in this forum. The Dialogue focused on what the content of Catholic teaching should be on these issues, and how faithfully the United States Catholic Conference (USCC) has adhered to Catholic tradition. We feel it would be helpful if we stated concisely our position on the major topics as they have surfaced in our Dialogue. "Gordon writes shortly about Rights of the State, Rights of the Citizen, Relationship of Citizen to State, and Church Teaching on War. The Church should support in theory and practice those who take a well-informed and tested position as a general pacifist or those who apply just war teaching.

CZHN 3/04624 Gordon Zahn 1973/0415 A book review in the Chicago Sun Times on Robert Payne's "The Life and Death of Adolf Hitler." ~ "This latest account of the rise to power and collapse of the Nazi dictator is neither exceptionally good nor exceptionally bad. It is eminently readable, in spite of Robert Payne's penchant for literary flourishes and summations which sometimes do not ring altogether true. . . What is urgently needed is a competent study of the 'political' Hitler, one which would place him and his frightening successes in a perspective more relevant to current and future events and challenges." CZHN 3/04539 Gordon Zahn 1973/0418 A letter to Mr. Herman Kogan. ~ Gordon is "looking forward to getting the book so that I can check some of the sources for myself. Incidentally, the book has been at the Boston Bretanos since late March, so they must have advanced the publication date."

CZHN 4/05440 Gordon Zahn 1973/0419 Memo from Gordon to members of the Department of Sociology concerning personnel decision. ~ Gordon says that decisions need to be made regarding the reappointment of various faculty members.

If so, he would like to submit it elsewhere. His suggestion that a theological tribunal be convened has been given some favorable consideration by Pax Christi International, and he thinks publication of the idea in this form (and especially in WORLDVIEW!) would speed a favorable decision. CZHN 3/04627 Glynn, Jeanne 1973/0430 A letter to Gordon Zahn. ~ Jeanne informs Gordon that they (Christopher Closeup) have scheduled the program with Gordon to be taped on Thursday, May 17, 1973. Should he wish to go to New York City the night before, they would be happy to make overnight arrangements for him. CZHN 3/04633 Gordon Zahn 1973/0430 A letter to Reverend John Kirvan. ~ Gordon has no serious objections to the general theme John proposes in his memo. However, through the "American Dream" part there may have to be fuller elaboration in future exchanges. The idea of the bi-centennial link strikes Gordon as sound. There must be special attention paid to the government. As the democratic ideal seems to be weakening in the political order, it seems to be progressing. The Old Blanshard foumulation is now in process of being reversed.

He compliments Zahn on many counts, but questions his recommendations that members of the movement should remain loyal and committed members of the institutional Church. He asks how can one not question the divisions of racism, sexism, capitalism and parochialism that exist in the Church, and says that Gordon's definition of Catholic is too narrow. Gordon responds that the Church has all the failings that Michael pointed out and more; however the failings must be corrected and the corrections must come from within the Church through efforts of those who have the respect and love for the Church to abide by its rules and practices while they are affecting the necessary changes. He asks where the Church and the Catholic peace movement would be if it did not have faithful members such as Thomas Merton and Dorothy Day. ~ Commonweal ~ 3/8 ~ 14-15 CZHN 4/04987 Gordon Zahn 1974 War and Religion in a Sociological Perspective ~ 11-page essay discussing the relationship between war and religion from a sociological viewpoint ~ Zahn inquires into the religious dilemnas raised by war, as well as the relationship between war and religion. He recounts major historical factors such as Constantine's conversion, the formation of "just war" standards adopted by the church, and the advent of modern warfare which seriously undermined the possibilities for just war, forcing the Church to reformulate teachings on war and violence. Zahn points out three sociological contexts in which religion and war may be considered. 1) significant value changes that have taken place in the Church due to value changes on the societal level, 2) the inter-institutional dependence between chuch and state (where the church often provides the state with legitimacy), 3) the intra-institutional dynamics of social controls where moral obligations and civil duties conflict, as in the case where one is called to serve in an unjust war. Zahn states that the state has an advantage over the Church due to the threat of immediate sanctions, and that religious leaders should seek to develop mechanisms for expanding the command of the Church. ~ Social Compass ~ XXI ~ 421-431 CZHN 4/05437 Jerry Scoppettuolo 1974 Reporter for "The Mass Media," U of Mass's paper ~ "Russell Lee Charges Administration in Descrimination Suit" ~ Newspaper article in "The Mass Media" ~ The article describes the situation regarding the discrimination complaints of Robert Lee, saying that it comes on the heals of another discrimination charge made by a teacher in the Theater Arts department.

His convictions, he would be told, had no support whatsoever in Catholic teachings and tradition. Unless the Church (and by that I do not mean only the Pope, bishops, theologians, priests, etc. but the whole Church) is willing to devote more time and serious effort to refining the Gospel message of peace and non-violence and its meaning for our time, the contradiction will persist and the whole tragic pattern of the Mystical Body ripped apart by war will be repeated, world without end.

CZHN 5/05893 The social and moral implications of behavior modification techiniques (hypnosis, drug therapies, genetic engineering, etc.) are explored with respect to the notion of "value free science." 1978/1028 Behavior modification is a normal and inescapable effect of living in a society. The process of socialization involves social control through the application of positive and negative sanctions in the hopes of inducing an individual to engage in behavior expected and supported by societal norms. While socialization works for the "good" of the individual and the "good" of the society, advances in the "science" of behavior modification have raised moral and philosophical questions. The use of behavior modification can often become the abuse of behavior modification. Behavior modification can benefit both the individual and society when used to enhance the rationality and responsibility of the recepient. Behavior modification is just one area where scientists must be wary of the concept of "value free science." Without imposing some value system as to the application of scientific knowledge and techniques, science can become the slave to any cause. But whose values? Central to the great world religions is the value of "respect for life." Respect for life must be used in place of "value free science." CZHN 5/05889 I.

Rubenstein's paper "Anticipations of the Holocaust in the Political Sociology of Max Weber" ~ Zahn is pleased that several points which caused him greatest difficulty when the paper was first presented have been eliminated by Rubenstein. The largest remaining problem is Rubenstein's use of the term "anticipations." He never makes it clear what exactly he means by "anticipations," and equally vague are the conclusions, if any, Rubenstein wants us to draw from the "anticipations." Anticipations can have three meanings. The first would be referring to order of appearance in a time sequence. Also there is the "anticipation" in which there is foreshadowing of what is yet to come. Lastly, there is anticipation in which a causal link, thought not necessarily intention can be established. Rubenstein cites Weber's work in bureaucracy, his "pariah" concept and his leadership hierarchy as "anticipations" for the Nazi dictatorship and Holocaust. However Rubenstein never demonstrates why Weber was singled out, and not Eugene Sue, Frederick the Great or Darwin. Overall, Zahn sees Rubenstein's work as impressive, but empty.

CZHN 5/05876 Gordon Zahn 1979/0522 essay on Freedom and Reason ~ Gordon Zahn explores Freedom and Reason in the twentieth century, a century marked by manipulation, coercion and warping of human freedom and reason. From Communist China to Jim Jones to Nazi tyranny the application of reason to formulate choices has been glossed over through careful chemical and psychological behavior modification techniques. Freedom, according to C. Wright Mills, is "first of all, the chance to formulate all available choices, to argue over them and then the opportunity to choose." In shades similar to the novel Brave New World, freedom and reason have been stripped away, warping many individuals into "cheerful robots." Zahn explores the case of Franz Jaegerstaetter, an Austrian Catholic peasant who refused to serve in the German army in WWII. He consulted priests who told him to serve, that it was his duty as a citizen, that he had a wife and three daughters and refusing to serve meant death. Remembering a priest who had been executed for refusing to take an oath to support Hitler, and applying his Catholic values and beliefs Jaegerstaetter bucked the system refusing adhere to Nazi orders. A decision that cost him his life.

He says that the style basically is an organization of research, but that it is an effective use of understatement and it gets the point across that the church did not act as it could or should have to help save more Jews from extermination.

Last month when he was invited to be a commentator on a talk given by Ambassador Rowny at the symposium on "The Just War and Pacifism" he was shocked by his flat denial of the "pacifist" tradition of the Church.

CZHN 9/12781 Jim Higgins - Response to talk by Gordon 1987/1016 He talks about how Gordon made some interesting points that made his objection seem like a realistic alternative and did not make him sound like a "bleeding heart liberal.

CZHN 9/12782 John Maguire - Response to talk by Gordon 1987/1016 He says that although he admired Gordon's courage during World War II, he still has some disagreements with his belief system.

Agrees with Gordon that in order to be a C.O. you must strongly believe that the war is unjust. Believes that you must have specific evidence of why you think the war is unjust, because if you do not have this then people will try to become C.O. s purely out of the fact that they are scared and this should not be allowed. CZHN 9/12773 Matt Ragers - Response to talk by Gordon 1987/1016 He found Gordon's points very interesting and believes that people should not have to kill if they do not want to. CZHN 9/12797 Michael Mandiz - Response to talk by Gordon 1987/1016 Believes that what Gordon has done is very courageous, but does not agree with his C.O. status during World War II.

CZHN 9/12775 Ricky Ray - Response to talk of Gordon's 1987/1016 He respects Gordon's opinion; he is amazed that some people can believe in something so much that they would allow their lives to be taken, as was the case for some early COs Gordon mentioned. CZHN 9/12787 Rob Carrico - Response to talk by Gordon 1987/1016 He says that Gordon seemed very sincere and dedicated and had his respect. Believes that it takes as much courage to say that you will not fight in the war as it does to say that you will.

CZHN 9/12792 Rodney Mayer - Response to talk by Gordon 1987/1016 He says that Gordon was highly opinionated and that he disagreed with much of what he said.

Yet, needs the Institute to assume principal responsibility for publication.

CZHN 9/11957 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Joe Holland 1989/0425 He has recently read the NCR report on the Pillar difficulties and believes that Holland's precious concerns are in the process of being resolved.

Notre Dame, IN CZHN 9/11966 Robert Irwin Rhoads - Letter to George Bush on behalf of the Inter Fraternity Association Drexel University 1989/0512 He states that he and his organization urge the president to support the re-initiation of amendment 48, stating theimport of the bill. ~ PA CZHN 9/11964 Christopher Hentemann - Letter to George Bush and the members of Congress on behalf of Boston College 1989/0515 They endorse the re-submission of Amendment 48, noting why they feel it is necessary to pass the bill and why the president and congress should agree. ~ MA CZHN 10/13764 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Mike Noone 1989/0515 Copy of entry #13763 CZHN 10/13763 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Mike Noone 1989/0515 Glad to get a copy of SELECTIVE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION. Says that he is disappointed that the primary purpose of the conference was not academic, though its intended purpose was to be sufficiently high scholarly. Hopes to try the conference again in taking a more sharply defined approach. CZHN 10/13736 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Erna 1989/0516 Says that regarding Msgr. Sarno he knows nothing at all, but hopes to have some information soon. But does know that Sarno is in the Brooklyn diocese and was ordained in 1973. Thus, him doing his dissertation in 1988 most likely means that he is a young priest. Finds his assertion that canonization of Jaegerstaetter should be weakened or delayed because it would "weaken" support for the "just war" theory is shocking. Also, has received a copy of Erna's book on Franz's letters and writings and has some concerns including the Prison statement she used. CZHN 10/13779 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Ray Towey 1989/0516 Thanks him for sending his book as a gift. Flipped through it and found an edited version of Franz's prison statement. Found his own research from St. Raegund and some of the Franz Jaegerstaetter texts, sent them to Erna. In light of recent allegations that words were put in Franz's mouth after his death, he thinks it is important to include all original texts. CZHN 9/11927 Jane Gurthet ~ Letter to Zahn on behalf of University of Notre Dame Press 1989/0516 They hope he has received his copy of GERMAN CATHOLICS AND HITLER'S WARS and are compiling the list for those to review the book.

Collins, Editor of Notre Dame Magazine 1989/0530 Discusses the Notre Dame evaluation committee and its recommendations concerning the ROTC program. Says it was commendable work and its findings revealed an openness to critical analysis that was most encouraging. Would like to clarify his position on the "pay-back" requirement because he feels this involves some crucial questions concerning the extent to which decisions concerning ROTC policies and programs are left to the discretion of the Department of Defense. CZHN 10/13754 Michael W. Hovey - Letter to Rev. William J. Stevenson of St. Mary Parish 1989/0530 Writing to offer him the opportunity to participate in their "lecture / workshop subsidy" program described on the enclosed sheet.

Want the copies to be sent to the presidents of all Catholic colleges and universities and feel copies should go to all bishops as well. Hope that the Institute will be able to fund this project. Have continued to receive positive comments on the ROTC report minus one who saw it as evidence of "Eastern elitism" worthy of the writer's "trash basket". CZHN 10/13735 Gordon, National Director - Letter to James Duhamel 1989/0601 Says that the question he raised can be answered simply: "though some of us have objected in the past to chaplaincy and other military ads in Catholic publications, neither Pax Christi or the Center has taken an official stand as an organization. Says that although his response may not be satifactory, he recognizes that this is a sensitive balance between the needs of an individual in the ranks of military and the purpose of the chaplaincy. This is a quandry for many chaplains. CZHN 8/11557 Eileen - Note to Gordon 1989/0601 She is happy to hear the Notre Dame Press picked up CATHOLIC'S AND HITLER'S WARS; she would appreciate a copy to review. She too will miss the National Council, and says things are happening fast as Hungary joined the consensus acceptance of the Second C.O. resolution.

They are not interested in his pieces on the ROTC, but thank him. ~ ME CZHN 10/13773 Gordon, National Director - Letter to Mr. David Hershey-Webb 1989/0607 Says as promised he talked to a number of people at the NISBCO meeting about the letter Mr. Hershey had received from Selective Service. Furthermore, he says that they contended that they had not seen such a letter before, but were aware that registrations after the age of 26 were not being accepted. There have been no late registration prosecutions, so those Gordon spoke with did not share his concern that appealing the denial of benefits would be a touchy subject. However, suggests that he writes to NISBCO's staff attorney, Charles Maresca for suggestions of who he should contact for pro bono legal assistance or advice. Also suggests asking Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors. CZHN 9/11910 Leah Rogne - Letter to Gordon 1989/0608 She requests copies of his Ph.D. dissertation and M.A. thesis, asking that the cost of aquiring them be sent to her.

Joe Turner - Letter to Gordon on behalf of the Catholic War Veterans 1989/0612 They state that his prior response denying support is ridiculous and they yet again ask him to endorse their cause to re-submit Amendment 48, The Military Chaplains Faith Balance Act. ~ PA CZHN 8/11556 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Eileen Egan 1989/0613 Requests that she put him in touch with Joe Zarella as NISBCO is having a "celebration of the conscience" and as he has part in its history he would like him to be a part of the festivities.

Hinchey 1989/0615 Look forward to taking part in his program in December in Milwaukee. Thanks him for the information he provided about Msgr. Sarno. Thinks his approach to the "Jaegerstaetter cause" reflects that of others in the congregation. Enclosing a copy of the letter that he is sending to Msgr. Sarno, hopes he responds but would not be surprised if he did not. CZHN 10/13772 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Monsignor Sarno 1989/0615 Says that his doctoral dissertation has been brought to Gordon's attention because of his reference to Jaegerstaetter as a "total pacifist". Thinks that this is an incorrect characterization of Jaegerstaetter. Contends that he served two periods of service in the German army before reaching the point of a conscientious objector in the war against the Nazi regime. Discusses canonization and says that while he is not promoting it for Jaegerstaetter he still hopes Monsignor Sarno reviews Franz Jaegerstaetter's case with greater care and hopes he will not make any more inaccurate assertions concerning this martyr. CZHN 8/11544 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Brayton and Suzanne 1989/0619 He hopes to be at their grand opening, and is looking into transportation.

CZHN 10/13767 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Madam Editor 1989/0620 Disappointed by Mr. Nowlan's column of May 26 on "gay rights" but for reasons opposed to the indignation expressed in recent issues. Thought he was too flippant in his discussion of proposed legislation designed to affirm and protect the rights of any individuals simply for reasons of what they are and not for any actual and punishable behavior justifying the denial of those rights. CZHN 8/11549 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Madam Editor 1989/0620 He too was disappointed with Newlan's column and in depth describes why. He discusses why the Bishops are acting incorrectly regarding the rights of the gay and the faults in the proposed legislation.

Sarno and how those false statements are adversely affecting the canonization movement for Franz Jaegerstaetter.

CZHN 8/11537 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Father Turner 1989/0622 He states that he will not take part in the issue regardng the Chaplaincy, this time especially, because they have not agreed to de-militarization.

CZHN 8/11514 Thomas Fox - Letter to Gordon 1989/0622 Asks him to have Notre Dame Press send them a review copy of GERMAN CATHOLICS AND HITLER'S WARS.

CZHN 8/11550 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Henry 1989/0623 He understands his reasoning for terminating the discussions on gay rights at least for an interval, but would be very "ok" if they should choose to open up the discussion yet again. He has had good but unconvincing exchanges with the bishops in his area, and would like to take even stronger action to get his points across. CZHN 9/11856 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Mary Lou Theisen 1989/0623 He asks if she knows of an elder James Kelley living in Monroe and if so may he have the address.

Thinks he has done pretty good general editing and hopes it clarifies the points she raised. The only point he did not follow is the one about the failure of the women's ordination people to take advantage of existing "rights" legislation to force their way into seminaries. However, he agrees that such laws have made bishops and others more sensitive to the weaknesses of the current situation. The point he makes is that it will not force open the doors of seminaries for homosexual candidates.

Gives a background of his research on Franz Jaegerstaetter and says that in light of his research he was greatly distressed by a recent Gregorian dissertation which identified Franz Jaegerstaetter as an example of the type of cause of canonization that might have to delayed in order to preserve ecclesiastical prudence.

CZHN 9/11916 Gordon Zahn - Letter to John 1989/1106 He has given a poor review of the Weigel book as, although the author is very bright, his points are very wrong.

CZHN 9/11918 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Mr. Cahill 1989/1106 He states that Cahill should not be discouraged about not receiving a reply from the European bishops as it is likely that his letters for Franz Jaegerstaetter were taken into account for the final deliberations.

Meighan 1989/1109 Vaguely recalls a meeting at Graymoor, but does not remember giving a homily. Says the Center has been busy sending out the Center's ROTC report along with recommendations to all bishops and to the presidents of all Catholic colleges and universities.

CZHN 10/13864 Mike Hovey - Letter to Ms. Barbara M. Keilwitz, Woodlands Academy 1989/1110 Says his check has been forwarded to them by the Erie headquarters of Pax Christi USA because the Center is the sole distributor of the videotapes of THE REFUSAL.

Robert Certain - Letter to Gordon 1989/1110 He was surprised to hear from Gordon and remembers him well.

CZHN 10/13818 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Father Fuchs 1989/1117 Agrees with his assesment of the Jaegerstaetter / Sarno issue. However, does not think that this matter can be dismissed simply as a matter of incidental "opinion". Says that because Msgr. Sarno is a member of the Congregation of the Canonization of Sainsts his "opinion" could and does reflect a higher policy judgement that needs to be challenged. However, Gordon admits that is unsure how far he should go in pursuing this particular issue. CZHN 10/13830 Mike W. Hovey - Letter to First Trade Union Savings Bank 1989/1117 Enclosing the Center's check for $60,000 to cover the purchase of a one-year CD to be issued in the name, "Center on Conscience and War (LJ Fund)".

Also, says they have sent a letter to the editor of which he encloses a copy, which he hopes will be published. Mentions that editors have a way of trimming and re-arranging things that often weakens or distorts points that one wants to make -- not with a malicious intent, but rather in an attempt to "spice up" the story. However, says that when they spliced up their article it really reversed the position they were trying to make. CZHN 10/13837 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Ms. Margaret Cronyn, Editor of The Michigan Catholic 1989/1130 Believes that their Nov. 10 article concerning the Center's position regarding military chaplains gave a very misleading impression of the Center's stance. Instead of commenting that priests should not serve as military chaplains, as reported in the article, they actually argued that as long as there are Catholics in the military they need and deserve the spiritual ministry of a chaplain. Asks that they publish a corrective article to clarify their position. CZHN 10/12992 Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series, Inc. - Important Notice 1989/12 Gives information on the year end statement. CZHN 10/13806 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Father Dan 1989/1204 Says he received his letter and must respond by saying that he is not much of a "retreat type" and certainly would not be interested in giving one. So he must reject his invitation, but does not want his rejection to put a bad note on what he is sure some will find as a source of spiritual enrichment and moral re-dedication. CZHN 9/11895 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Fr. Dan 1989/1204 He regretfully rejects their invitation for him to participate in their retreat, as he feels he would be a dud in such a situation. CZHN 10/13832 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Ms. Kathleen McCourt, Acting Dean of College of Arts and Sciences at Loyola University of Chicago 1989/1204 Enclosing a copy of the ROTC report she had requested.

CZHN 10/13834 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Mary Lou 1989/1205 His reason for writing is to ask the Magazine to publish the following as a letter or news item: the canonization attempts for Jaegerstaetter and why they are not yet succeeding. CZHN 9/11869 Rev. Msgr. William Murphy - Letter to Gordon 1989/1205 The cardinal received his last letter and appreciates Gordon's commitment and "sanguine approach" to important questions. He states that he does not feel that Gordon made his point in the article in Commonweal and argues the point of "gay rights" from the perspective of the church. Homosexuality breaks the basis of family that the Church uses as its foundation. ~ MA CZHN 9/11861 John Swomley - Letter to Gordon 1989/1206 He was not impressed with Weigel and, thanks Gordon for his own critique of Tranquilitas Ordinis.

Little 1989/1207 Pleased to get her letter, but says she misses his major point. Says he recognizes the crucial importance of a stable family, but he still insists that the basic unit of society is the person and that the basic rights of that person are not to be denied or ignored. Brings up the issue of abortion and says the unborn child should be recognized as a person to be born and should be given a protection of their rights. Wishes that their exchange will not be published, but rather discussed with the other editors of The Pilot. CZHN 9/11907 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Ms. Leila Little 1989/1207 He responds to a letter of hers, and argues his view as to why gay people should be able to enjoy the same civil rights and backing from the church regarding these rights as heterosexuals.

Hovey - Letter to Congressman Neal 1989/1207 Writing to second the recommendation made by Fr. Robert Drinan in the National Catholic Reporter calling for Congress to terminate the present Selective Service registration requirements and program. Makes this call for termination in light of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and President Carter's response to resume draft registration as a message of protest. In addition, says that the expenditures needed to maintain full-scale operations of the Selective Service System should be a major consideration when the nation is burdened with a record-breaking deficit. CZHN 10/13791 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Herr Guske 1989/1208 Pleased to have his summary of "25 Years BK". Says that since he has not heard anything further about the "Open Letter" he will assume a later decision was made not to publish it in the BK-Report after all. Hope that a friendlier relationship lies in the future for BK and Pax Christi. CZHN 10/13804 Gordon Zahn - Ms. Anne Smith, Executive Director of CUA Magazine 1989/1208 Would like some confirmation that they are not going to publish his article.

Thinks it deserves mention at Friday's conference, but says Mike and himself will not be able to attend. Conferences like the one they are putting on hold great promise for letting students at all levels of Catholic education to a fuller awareness of the Church's committment to peace and justice. CZHN 6/08481 Dr. Gordon Zahn - Letter to Loretta and Richard 1989/1215 Asks where they have been because he has not gotten a response to a letter written two months ago. He goes through a list of accounts from the "New Yorker" on what it is like to live in California, to give reason for the lack of response. Then he speculates that they may have passed the ROTC Report to each other. Things at the center are slow and he is trying to write in an effort to stir up controversy. He speculates that when Mike leaves the center will be on stand-by. Mike is going to the Holy Land to represent PAX-CHRISTI USA; he will write soon. He also asks for a copy of the paper Loretta gave at the convention last summer because she could have some data he could use when he revises the "recycled piece." CZHN 10/13831 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Loretta and Richard 1989/1215 Worried because he has not heard from them for two months and has been reading accounts in the New Yorker concerning what it is like to live in California.

CZHN 10/13844 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Sherry 1989/1218 Asks her not to think his inability to attend the morning's meeting of the retired faculty expresses a lack of interest, he simply had to watch over the Center.

Before he begins these comments, he prefaces them with the statement that he should pursue the project even though the comments by Gordon may encourage him not to do so. Says that what HE has written is not an article (it is too long), but is rather a good idea for a pamphlet or booklet. Despite his criticisms, he believes that it is a good writing on Dorothy Day and tells a story that deserves to be told. CZHN 10/13877 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Coleman McCarthy 1989/1219 Says his piece in the December 15 NCR is excellent.

CZHN 10/13826 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Patricia and Bart 1989/1219 Says his hopes for a trip to England this year have disappeared and hopes to go next year. Planning to attend the Pax Christi International in Vienna and plans a flight to England as a sort of side trip from there. In addition, discusses the doctoral dissertation from a Gregorian scholar dealing with Franz Jaegerstaetter, who wrongfully characterized Franz Jaegerstaetter as a "total pacifist". Also mentions that work at the Center of Conscience and War has fallen off, which could put them out of business and force Gordon into early retirement. But they are not complaining. CZHN 10/13882 Gordon Zahn - Letter to Tom 1989/1219 Suspects he will not want to change what he has already written in his final draft of the chapter, but hopes the enclosed material will be of some value.

Book review of Terror in Ireland: The Heritage of Hate by Edgar O'Ballance and Never Again Without a Rifle: The Origins of Italian Terrorism by Alessandro Silj in WORLDVIEW. ~ Gordon says the two books under review deal with the outbreaks in Ireland and Italy. O'Ballance provides a helpful historical summary, but it is more like an accountant's tabulation of events than an account of the full tragedy. Silj gives an esoteric interpretation of the conflicting modes and variations of ideology of the various groups and their leaders. Gordon says that both books lack objective evaluation of the nature and efficacy of terrorism and how it has changed in modern times. He says, however, that booth books deserve serious attention. ~ WORLDVIEW ~ 29-30 CZHN 4/05361 Gordon Zahn 198o "The Institutional Church and Peace" ~ 4-page transcript of a presentation given to the Pax Christi National Assembly in Milwaukee ~ Gordon discusses the negative aspects of the institutionalized church, and expresses his disappointment that the church has not made more progress toward the total renunciation of war and violence. However, he says that significant progress has been made and patience with the institutional church is needed because institutions are slow to change as well as individuals who also offer resistance. Gordon says that long vision and fortitude of endurance will be needed in working with the system and making the institutional church an effective instument against war and violence.

CZHN 11/14016 "Another Good War? A Dissenting View" 1990 Discusses the current situation with Saddam Hussein and his current military presence in Kuwait.

With the approach of the 2nd Speical Session on Disarmament in 1982, Gordon discusses the failure of the first statement and the escalation of the arms race. He contends that the Reagan Administration has ignored all warnings over the escalation of war and the mass production of nuclear weapons, and that there is mounting opposition all over the world to the political and military decisions of the U. S. government. He points out the increasing involvment of Catholic bishops in peace activities and organizations such as Pax Christi, and urges Canadians to start Pax Christi chapters. Gordon contends that now is the time for peace education if it is to be effective and activist witness should take place for the cause of peace as well as religious commemorations to demonstrate efforts toward peace. Every individual must take their responsibility abd protest the current trend toward destruction. ~ presented 10/28 CZHN 5/06448 Gordon Zahn 1991 A proposed model for the court martial desposition.

In response to President Clinton lifting the ban on performing abortions in military hospitals, the archbishop for mlitary services wrote to the Presendent requesting that no person be pressured into participating in abortion procedures who are opposed to abortion. Gordon asserts that this request regarding the abortion debate parallels the debate over concientious objectors. In fact, Gordon says that although the Archbishop does not recognize CO status, he was asking for one as it pertains to abortion. Gordon hopes that the Archbishop's respect for the primacy of conscience as it relates to abortions in military hospitals might also traslate to other acts of war of the armed forces. ~ 5/15 ~ 5-7 CZHN 8/10416 Pax Christi - For fourth annual Pax Christi USA Book Award 1993 Explains criteria for award and entry info, dates, publicity, representation and the grand prize of $2000.

CZHN 4/05553 Thomas Cornell PROPOSAL to the National Committee on Catholic Concerns From the Catholic Peace Fellowship On "Selective" Conscientious Objection to War ~ The proposal outlines the traditional, narrow definition of conscientious objection and cites the case of Dan Seeger who refused to use theistic language in his defense of his CO status. The overrulling of his conviction has broadened the CO definition, however the law still states that a CO must object to all war in any form, rather than to a war considered to be unjust. He goes on to say that the church is failing in its teachings concerning the "just war theory" and that it owes a CO the same support it owes one who deliberately chooses to fight. The proposal urges the National Committee on Catholic Concerns to make the issue of selective conscientious objection a priority among its concerns to push this in the Catholic community. It urges the NCCC to issue a strong statement against the Vietnam War, to focus on conscientious objection, and to help locate test cases that could help expand the definition of CO in the courts.

CZHN 3/04514 Gordon Zahn A 14-page typed essay entitled, "One Man's Files." ~ Gordon writes about his experience in trying to obtain his FBI and CIA files. He focuses more not on what the files contain, but rather on what is missing. He believes that "if a citizen's request for his file brings such careless or incomplete responses, the purpose of the Freedom Act is being circumvented in effect if not in intent." "Carelessness, incompetence, or inefficiency are not sufficiently compelling explanations." He does not discourage anyone from trying to obtain their files, but says that one should not expect too much. CZHN 3/04486 Gordon Zahn A 15-page typed essay by Gordon Zahn, when he was a professor at Univ. of Massachusetts-Boston, that was later published in WORLDVIEW. ~ "The issue involves the compatability of a thorough-going commitment to pacifist ideals and objectives with sympathy and support for national liberations movements. . . All that is offered here is one pacifist's reflection, not a definitive solution." Gordon Zahn sees that the dilemma takes its sharpest form in three crucial contexts. First, is the question of acceptable means, specifically the use of endorsement of violence. Second, is the process of "conscientization" and its appropriate techniques and objectives. Last, is the introduction and acceptance of nationalism as a motivation force and justification. CZHN 3/04586 Gordon Zahn A 16-page typed essay complete with footnotes on pages 15-16 entitled "War and Religion in a Sociological Perspective." This is a duplicate copy of document 4580. ~ "The first problem facing one in attempting to write on this topic is the sheer immensity of the task. . . A second and more troubling (sociologically at least) problem has to do with the variety and complexity of relationships that can and do exist between war and religion. . . Some religious value systems (Islam, Judaism) are or appear to be more compatible than others (Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity) with the values and the behaviors associated with warfare, but none is completely indifferent to the planned and intended destruction of human life war involves. To the extent that such ambivalence is structured into the belief systems of the major world religions, it offers a distinct challenge to the social scientist and it is the purpose of this paper to develop some of the dimensions of that challenge."

CZHN 3/04477 Gordon Zahn A 21-page typed essay (sermon) opening and ending with quotes by Thomas Wolfe and Thomas Merton, respectively. ~ Gordon Zahn writes about the family and its declining status of morals and how that has caused chaos in our society. He concludes that if the crisis of our day is to be resolved by a return to values that have been abandoned or lost, religion in general--and the Catholic Church in particular--should be the most appropriate and effective vehicle for that change. CZHN 3/04511 Gordon Zahn A 3-page typed essay entitled "John XXIII's Priceless Legacy." ~ Gordon believes that since its appearance John XXIII's "Pacem in Terris" has already accomplished recognition which served as inspiration and justification for the cause of peace and (it is now respectable to use the term) Catholic pacifism. The goal was to tip the theological scales against nuclear war and deterrence. CZHN 7/09936 John T.

PZHN Gordon Zahn : Printed Material PZHN Books by Gordon Zahn PZHN 14467 Gordon Zahn - GERMAN CATHOLICS AND HITLER'S WARS: A STUDY IN SOCIAL CONTROL 1962 Entries #14455-14466 taken from the chapters in this book. ~ New York PZHN 14455 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 1, "History and Methodology of the Study From German Catholics and Hitler's Wars" from GCHW 1962 Dicusses the focus of the study as the German Catholic Peace Movement under the leadership of the German Catholic Peace Union during WWII and its conflicts with the Nazi regime ultimately leading up to its dissolving by the Nazis on July 1, 1933. Also says that the primary research method used was in-depth interviews of members of the Peace Movement. ~ New York PZHN 14456 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 2, "The Social-control Dimension" from GCHW 1962 Discusses both the formal and informal control employed by the German regime during WWII as a means of "social control" of German Catholics. ~ New York PZHN 14457 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 3, "The Value-selection Dimension" 1962 Discusses what Gordon refers to as the "competition" of value systems affecting Roman Catholics living in Germany during WWII. Says that such citizens were torn between an absolute obedience to the government and an absolute obedience to their religion which saw WWII as a blatant unjust war. ~ New York PZHN 14458 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 4, "A Question of Judgement" from GCHW 1962 Says that the purpose of this study is not to "expose evils and abuses" but rather to learn what happened in the war so that it may never happen again. Also, Gordon argues against the presumption that his study is one of "historical inquiry", but rather he says this study concerns itself with the behavior of German Catholics during WWII. ~ ~ Gordon PZHN 14459 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 5, "Statement of the Problem" from GCHW 1962 Makes a comparison between a tradition in Germany of honoring St. Martin of Tours, a conscientious objector to Caesar, every year in a grand celebration that resembles Halloween. Gordon contrasts this respect and admiration of this "conscientious objector" with what he calls "the greatest tragedy of recent world history", WWII. Describing Hitler as the "new Caesar" he descibes how he and his regime suppressed all things Catholic forcing Catholics to participate in the war while Catholic press and Catholic organizations gave full support of the regime leaving Catholics with no choice. ~ New York PZHN 14460 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 6, "The Bishops" from GCHW 1962 In this chapter Gordon discusses a number of excerpts from Catholic Bishops and from the Catholic Press that are calling on German Catholics to support the war and the "Vaterland". ~ ~ New York PZHN 14461 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 7, "Clement August Von Galen" from GCHW 1962 Gives a brief background on Clement Von August Galen, the Bishop of Muenster, who as Gordon discusses at length, gave many powerful sermons that were "direct challenges to the Nazi terror-state". However, Gordon goes on to say that these sermons were as far as Galen went. Gordon says that in many of his sermons he said that Catholics, despite the evils of the regime, should still follow the Vaterland. Thus, as Gordon concludes, the wartime writings of the most revered opponent to the regime actually contributed to German Catholic conformity to the Nazi Cause. ~ New York PZHN 14462 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 8, "Michael Cardinal Faulhaber" from GCHW 1962 Gives a background on the life of Michael Cardinal Faulhaber and says that his "patriotism and protest combination" greatly resembles that of Galen. Gordon discusses how Faulhaber, the leader of the Bavarian hierarchy, in 1933 adamantly and publicly opposed the Nazi regime. However, Gordon says that with the advent of the war in 1939 Faulhaber's opposition to the war quickly turned to support. ~ New York PZHN 14463 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 9, "Conrad Grober" from GCHW 1962 Discusses the life of Grober, a bishop during WWII. More specifically, Gordon discusses his switch from public support of the Nazi regime and war effort to public disdain of the Nazi regime and war effort. ~ New York PZHN 14464 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 10, "Franz Josef Rarkowski" from GCHW 1962 Discusses the stance of the Catholic Military Bishop, Franz Josef Rarkowski as being one of complete obedience and affirmation to the Nazi regime. Says that Rarkowski was so complete and unfaltering in his support of the war that if any soldier under his command began to have doubts about his participation and went to the Military Bishop he "would find his problem swept away in a torrent of nationalistic outpourings". ~ New York PZHN 14465 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 11, "Analysis and Interpretation" from GCHW 1962 Discusses the Catholic Church's support of the Nazi regime found in the stances taken by a majority of the Catholic Bishops. Says this support by the Catholic Church only contributed more to the formal and informal controls during WWII that left German Catholics with the choice only to support the war because not supporting the war could only achieved through an act of great heroism. ~ New York PZHN 14466 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 12, "Sociotheological Implications" from GCHW 1962 States his conclusions from his study with one of the most profound being the reassesment needed of the relationship of the religious institution with the modern secular state. Also, says that the self-image of the individual Catholic in a time of a moral crisis such as WWII needs to be addressed. Hopes this study will encourage religious resistance to political regimes in the future and that the study will also draw attention to this event of great importance in the Catholic modern world. ~ New York PZHN 14557 Gordon Zahn - WHAT IS SOCIETY? 1964 The book was entered into the database by chapter having entry #14547-14556. ~ New York City PZHN 14547 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 1, "The Beginnings of Social Science" from WHAT IS SOCIETY? 1964 Discussess the roots of sociology as innately within man.

Also, discusses the idea of social planning. ~ New York City PZHN 14530 Gordon Zahn - THE MILITARY CHAPLAINCY: A STUDY OF THE ROLE TENSION IN THE ROYAL AIR FORCE 1969 Broken into entries #14494-14529 based on chapter and section breaks. ~ Toronto PZHN 14494 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 1, section I of "Research Rationale and Procedures" from TMC (THE MILITARY CHAPLAINCY) 1969 Gives a preliminary outline of his research.

Says that the two major phases of the research project were interviews followed by questionnaire mailing to retired chaplains. ~ Toronto PZHN 14498 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 2, section I of "Personal Qualities and Projected Image" from TMC 1969 Discusses three questions he put on his questionnaire to the military chaplains and the answers he received in return. The first question asked them to indicate two or three personal characteristics they considered most essential to success as a military chaplain.

Then, describes his arrival to the Warner Camp, for conscientious objectors, on October 27, 1942 -- coincidentally, also the opening day for the camp. Describes his mundane work there that was hardly "work of national importance" (12). Also, says that the vision of the camp as "a training school for Christian pacifists" was also unfounded. ~ MA PZHN 14470 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 2, "A Witness Unheard and Unwanted" from APW 1979 Discusses how Catholic conscientious objectors during WWII were certainly a minority within the Church often being referred to as "cowards" or "social deviants" by other Catholics. ~ MA PZHN 14471 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 3, "Background and Beginnings" from APW 1979 Discusses the background of the Civilian Public Service (CPS) which came into being in December of 1940 and continued in operation until March 1947. Says that the Service was established to "provide the men excused from military service on grounds of religious training and belief with the mandated opportunity to perform alternative service consisting of work of national importance under civilian direction" (36). Discusses further how the actual camp strayed far from this stated purpose. ~ MA PZHN 14472 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 4, "Days in the Life" from APW 1979 Gives a detailed description of life at Camp Simon.

In addition, Gordon discusses the social background of the entire Warner group, along with cliques and interest groups. ~ MA PZHN 14474 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 6, "The Men: a Gallery of Characters" from APW 1979 Describes the CO as a social deviant. Discusses the "Chapel Group" at the camp which he describes as "Thomists" and who were led by "Mother Pat" Meany. Also, discusses the men at the camp who had been involved in the Catholic Worker movement prior to entering the camp. In addition, Gordon touches on the divergent reasons why people rejected military service despite the dominant Catholic affiliation of the camp . Finally, ends by discussing four groups: the "college boys and intellectuals", "the artists", "the disrupters", and "the workers". ~ MA PZHN 14475 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 7, "Issues and Controversies" from APW 1979 Discusses the different religious perspectives found in the camp with active Catholics only being a minority and how this led to many discussions on religion and war. Also, discusses the individual nature of the men at the camp and how this led to controversy surrounding how "camp affairs were to be governed" (144). In addition, mentions the controversies surrounding nursing and the food crisis at the camp and differing opinions concerning how it should be dealt with. Finally, discusses censorship and pay and government issues prevalent in the camp. ~ MA PZHN 14476 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 8, "Events, High Spots, and Galas" from APW 1979 Begins by saying that the monontonous life at Camp Simon in no way compares to the tumultous life of a soldier. However, goes on to discuss the "high spots" of life at Camp Simon which broke some of the monotony including: camp visits such as that of Dorothy Day, the "Smith Weekend" which was when a group of "pacifistically inclined" students from Smith College came to the camp, the alcoholic binges, and the farewell party. ~ MA PZHN 14477 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 9, "Exodus and Aftermath" from APW 1979 Discusses the clothing of Camp Simon and the "exodus" of the fifty-eight Warner men who were officially transferred to an Oakland camp.

Talks about life after Warner. ~ MA PZHN 14478 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 10, "The Final Reckoning" from APW 1979 Says that all men who responded to his questionnaire on their Warner Camp experience said if they had to, they would do it all again; they would choose CO status. Mentions the friendships that were built as a result of the Warner Camp experience and discusses the positive aspects of CPS and its accomplishments. Reflects back on the camp and what its presence meant for the war and for the cause of peace. ~ MA PZHN 14546 Gordon Zahn - VOCATION OF PEACE 1992 It was divided and entered into the computer by chapter beginning with entry #14531 and ending with entry #14545. The abbreviation used to note that the chapter is from the book is VOP. ~ Baltimore PZHN 14531 Gordon Zahn - Introduction to VOCATION OF PEACE 1992 Discusses his "official entry" into the Catholic Peace Movement as happening when he reported for his Civilian Public Service duty at Warner Camp fifty years ago.

Says that one reason for this is that papal statements are couched in numerous theological and scriptural references that the common man does not understand and thus does not care to pay attention to. ~ ~ Baltimore PZHN 14534 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 3, "Catholic Opposition to Hitler: the Perils of Ambiguity" from VOP 1992 Gives the examples of two men, Reverend Johannes Kraus and Bishop Michael Rackl and states that they are the only examples during WWII of public Catholic opposition to WWII. Says that overall he believes that the failure of the Catholic Church to mount an opposition to Hitler's regime was in part because of the lack of people who stood up against the regime and thus a lack of people to stand up with them in opposition. ~ Baltimore PZHN 14535 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 4, "Total War and 'Absolute' Pacifism" from VOP 1992 Gives a brief history of pacifism and the concept of a "just" or "moral" war.

Also, discusses the emergence of Pax Christi and its growth over the last 50 years. ~ Baltimore PZHN 14537 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 6, "Catholic Responses to the Holocaust" from VOP 1992 Looking into why there were not more Catholics who stood up in opposition against the Holocaust. Says there was a great desire not to know or to close your eyes and look the other way. Moreover, somed did not even see it as their duty to speak up, but left that in the hands of their leaders. In addition, he comments on the lack of papal opposition, but says that the sad truth is that any papal call would most likely not have succceeded in rallying the Catholic population to martyrdom. ~ Baltimore PZHN 14538 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 7, "A Religious Pacifist Looks At Abortion" from VOP 1992 Argues that as a pacifist who values the preservation of life above all things, one should be against not only war, but also against euthanasia and abortion which threaten the sanctity of human life. ~ Baltimore PZHN 14539 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 8, "The Bondage of Liberation: a Pacifist Reflection" from VOP 1992 Discusses the dividing of the peace movement into different factions based on differing beliefs. States that the differences stem from inconsistencies in beliefs in three areas: the question of what are acceptable means, the question of the process of "conscientization", and lastly the acceptance of nationalism as a motivating force and justification. ~ Baltimore PZHN 14540 Gordon Zahn - Ch. 9, "In Our Image" from VOP 1992 Compares past delinquent behavior with current delinquent behavior saying that the current form is much more violent and much more numerous.
