This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Flahiff, George Bernard, Archbishop, C.S.B.".
Archbishop George Bernard Flahiff, elevated to Cardinal in 1969, was bishop of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. At the Second Vatican Council, he was involved in what was known as Schema 13, which became Gaudium et Spes, the Pontifical Constitution on the Church in the Modern World. Merton was particularly interested in the sections on peace, war, and how it would address nuclear weapons.
