Cooke tells chaplains bishops back work of peacemaking
In a public letter Cardinal Terence Cooke urges Roman Catholic military chaplains to read the bishops approved 150 page pastoral letter on nuclear weapons. He says it does not undermine service or promote complacency while calling for a reappraisal of long standing attitudes toward war and defense. The text notes the church defends armed force as a last resort and seeks chaplains’ informed opinions on weapons issues.
