German Catholics and Hitler's Wars
Prior to the outbreak of World War II, nearly forty thousand German Catholics were involved in the German Catholic Peace League, a movement that caused many people in various countries to seriously reconsider the dimension of pacifism in their faith. During the course of the War, however, many of these same German Catholics raised no serious objection to serving in Germany's armies or swearing allegiance to Adolph Hitler. First published in 1962, German Catholics and Hitler's Wars created a furor, ultimately causing a serious reevaluation of church-state relationships and, in particular, of the morality of war.

Vocation of Peace
This collection of articles and talks are some "personal favorites" of the late Gordon C. Zahn, a founder of the U.S. Catholic peace movement, and fondly known as the "dean of American Catholic pacifists." The theme of these essays is imbedded in the title of the book: All Christians have a vocation of peace, a call to serve the cause of peace and to obey the obligation to oppose war and any support or participation in war. The first set of essays will challenge the reader to consider the role of conscience and the moral responsibility it holds for the Christian. The second set of essays presciently addresses issues that have become known as the "consistent ethic of life." The third set offers the examples of individuals or groups whom Zahn knew who lived out their vocation of peace. In this book, you will discover Gordon Zahn's continuing legacy: to help you discover your own vocation to peace!
German Catholics and Hitler's wars
"Why did German Catholics (along with other Christian groups) lend almost complete support to Hitler's wars of ruthless conquest? Why is there a record of only a handful of Catholic conscientious objectors to Hitler's aggression? What happened to the German Catholic Peace League, which numbered 40,000 members just prior to World War II? These are among the questions answered by Gordon Zahn, the well-known Catholic sociologist, in this timely and fascinating study. Writing with a rare blend of scholarly objectivity and profound Christian concern, Professor Zahn examines one of the great enigmas of twentieth-century Chrstiianity."--from back cover.
