Wald, Kenneth, "Religious Elites and Public Opinion: The Impact of the Bishops' Peace Pastoral," Review of Politics, 54 (Winter, 1992), 112-143.

The pastoral had a substantial effect on members of the public who are avid church members, notably devout American Catholics. In an effort to sway public opinion against excessive military spending, The Challenge of Peace, issued by Catholic bishops, was relatively successful.
