Merton responds to information that John H. Yoder sends about the variety in Catholic positions on war. Merton points out factors that seem to leave no arguments for a "just war" theory. He mentions new trends against war in the Second Vatican Council and some who have reacted against Pope John XXIII and these anti-war sentiments.
John Howard Yoder was a Mennonite theologian whose writings on Christianity, ethics, politics, and opposition to war, were influential throughout the Christian world.
