Bishops Ask Crusade For Peace Silencing (N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE) WASHINGTON, —The Bishops of the United States have called upon the faithful “to pledge themselves to a veritable crusade of prayer” for peace. At the same time they warned against those who because of “sel fish interest” or “rash counsel” would jeopardize the delicate balance of world peace,” and underscored “the urgency of prompt and effective interven tion to silence the guns of war and to enforce the pacific arbi tration of conflicting claims.” They also emphasized that the United Nations, despite possible failings and falterings, “offers the only promise we have for sus tained peace in our time.” And they applauded “the vig orous leadership” of the Presi dent of the United States, de claring that he has emphasized .many points cited by His Holi ness Pope Pius XII in the world crisis. These actions were taken in a statement, entitled Peace, Unity —The Hope of Mankind, adopted at their annual general meeting here. “We stand with the Vicar of Christ,” the Bishops said, “and our prayer is for peace for our country and all the world — a peace with justice and charity.” The Bishops urged that the crusade of prayer "be for the specific ends that international sanity will triupmh over war; that justice may be vindicated by the nations united under law; and that our own beloved coun try, under God, may lead the way to that better hope for all mankind.” Warning about the gravity of the times, the four American cardinals, some 20 archbishops and more than 130 bishops de clared: “Once again in our time the alarm bell is ringing in the night. The world, inured as it is to tragedy, is apprized of tragedy still more profound. . . . Though the hour is late indeed, it is not yet too late.” But, the Bishops counseled, “the supreme folly is to leave God out of our reckoning.” “Foremost, inevitably, in our thinking,” the Bishop said, “are the heroic people of Hungary.” “To them in their darkest hour, the statement added, “we offer the sympathy of our com mon faith and we pledge out- unremitting efforts to help them achieve that ultimate liberty for which their sons and daughters have died, surely not in vain.” The Bishops pointed out that “it is not mere rhetoric to saj that at this juncture the world is poised on the brink of disaster it is grim realism.” Asserting that this is “neither the time nor the place” to review the history of the United Nations, Of Guns the Bishops said: “If there have been mistakes in its decisions and faltering in its procedures, that is no more than a commentary on our human condition;. The fact remains that it offers the only present promise we have for sustained^ peace in our time: peace with any ap proximation of justice.” Their statement said the clear implication of "recent impassion ed messages” issued by His Holiness Pope PJus XII “is that the nations must employ their unity with such revived strength and purpose as to banish the specture of war.” “It- is division which tempts the aggressor; it is unity which gives him pause,” the Bishops declared. "With the Sovereign Pontiff,” the bishops continued, “we rec ognize the urgency of prompt and elective intervention to sil ence the 'guns of war and to en force the pacific arbitration of conflicting claims. With him, al so. we emphasize the paramount need for a heightened concept of the un ; versal validity of 1 a w among nations as among men.” The course , set “by our own government for the avoidance of international Calamity” has been a source of “genuine satisfaction,” the statement said. “Worthy of the highest praise,” it added, “are its efforts, rising above consider ations of party and politics, to bring the problems before the tribunal of the nations, to re store mutual confidence in all those who seek justice, and to counter the threat of anarchy by marshaling the full, strength of those forces of law and order which the world commands. “Our President, indeed, has set a pattern of vigorous leadership, and has emphasized many of the points which have been dwelt upon by Pope Pius XII,” the bishops said. “He too is alert to the overriding need of a develop ed reverence for international law. clearly mindful, as he stress ed in his recent message to the American people, that without law there can be no peace.” Pagans said “if you wish peace, prepare for war,” the Bishops noted, but added at once that Christianity has revised that say ing to read: “If you wish peace, prepare for peace.” SPECIAL ISSUE Complete coverage of the Installation of Bishop Hyland is contained in this issue.
