• CZHN 2/01999 Document : 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 Document : Article: McGrory, Mary 1967
