Thanks for a copy of [Leonard?] Cheshire's talk about the Morality of War. Advises that this should not be published by CTS as Cheshire's reputation is very great and Bishop Butler fears this defence of war would encourage complacency. Also, publication by CTS might seem to accord the views with a semi-official Catholic status.
Finds the arguments unconvincing and could state his criticisms at length if asked to do so. Notes he says nothing about nuclear war.
manuscript annotation: "Asked Bp. Butler to write to Cheshire (Letter 25-x-1979)"

"Faith" has been pursuing a vindictive campaign against Bishop Clark. He, Bishop Butler and other bishops are being accused, in editorials, of unorthodoxy, cowardice, etc.
There will be a showdown with CTS Committee; Ripley says extremists are to launch an attack on CTS i.e. an attack on Bishop Clark and colleagues, and al bishops in particular and in general.
He is writing to warn the Cardinal about a press reaction - also writing to Archbishop Beck and Archbishop Dwyer.

".. two magazines and I consider them fanatical. No doubt those who write the articles are honest and sincerer men but I think they do great harm. They obviously create and foster differences among clergy and people." ".. episcopal colleagues are quite unmoved by the accusations made against you and Bishop Butler."
