Prelates from Communist Poland, Spain, France and England thew their support to a view favored by many U.S. bishops that the use of modern arms is legitimate in some cases.

Other prelates, including a French and Italian cardinal appeal for an outright condemnation of War in every form, nuclear or conventional.

More and more bishops are asking that the, council do more than this, that it ''strengthen the statement to recognize that sincere conscientious objectors fulfill a Christian duty to their consciences and to the world by refusing to take up arms no matter what the national danger or provocation may be.
