Managing Dissent in the Catholic Church: A Reinterpretation of the Pastoral Letter on War and Peace.
Peer reviewedHogan, J. Michael – Quarterly Journal of Speech, 1989
Reexamines the American National Conference of Catholic Bishops' 1983 Pastoral Letter on War and Peace. Finds that the pastoral letter functioned rhetorically not to foster but to manage dissent, diffusing a radical Catholic challenge to American defense policy and reclaiming the bishops' authority to define Church teachings on war and peace.
