But it is unfortunate that the Church hierarchy, including American Catholic leaders, seem to be aligning themselves with the "peace" movement.

Some of them really are "peaceniks." But the Church doesn't claim infallibility for individual bishops. The sure norm for Catholic teaching on a wide variety of issues is the Catechism.

True, but the press and much of the laity don't get that. Like many others, the peacenik bishops are being used by people whose purpose isn't peace but the propping up of a stalinist regime.
