• CZHN 10/13736 Correspondence : Gordon Zahn - Letter to Erna 1989/0516

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 Correspondence : Gordon Zahn - Letter to Ray Towey 1989/0516

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 Corrrespondence : 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 8/11551 Correspondence : Henry Gosselin - Letter to Gordon on behalf of Church World 1989/0606
  They are interested in publishing his socio/theological view on gay rights, and he apologizes for the way the discussion went on the subject as it made many emotional and nasty. They are not interested in his pieces on the ROTC, but thank him. ~ ME
• CZHN 10/13773 Correspondence : 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.
