Bishops Will Open
D.C Office World
Justice and Peace
WASHINGTON — World jug.
tice and peace will become con
crete aims of the National Con
ference of Catholic Bishops
when it opens a new office here
on June 1 to promote these
goals.
Inspired by Pope Paul Vi’s
encyclical, The Development of
Peoples^ the new bishops’ com
mittee and its secretariat will
be counterparts to the recently |
established Pontifical Commis
sion for Justice and Peace.
The papal commission, accord
ing to a statement issued at the
conclusion (April 25) of its first
plenary meeting in Vatican City,
was “designed to represent in
concrete form the presence of
the Church in contemporary so
ciety.”
The bishops of the United
States voted to duplicate this ef
fort on a national level at their
April meeting in Chicago and
united their committees for the
Pope’s Peace Plan and for World
Justice and Peace into the new
Committee for World Justice and
Peace.
Chairman of the committee is
Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dough
erty of Newark, president of Se
ton Hall University, South Or
ange, N.J.
Bishop Dougherty emphasized
that the new committee will
work in closest cooperation with
the Pontifical Commission for
Justice and Peace.
He said he views the program
of the new committee as the
“practical fulfillment of the
Christian precept of charity in
the global dimensions of the cri
sis of hunger.”
