The work of Christian Peacemaking Lesson 2: Blessed Franz Jägerstätter

Think – Puzzle - Explore If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. (Archbishop Desmond Tutu)

What would you do?

Your country has just become involved in a global conflict, a world war, and you have been called up to fight in the army. Do you fight or not fight?

The government has introduced conscription, making it a legal requirement to fight if called up… Do you fight or not fight?

You are a married man with three young children… Do you fight or not fight?

You are the principal breadwinner of the family and as such your family rely on you to provide for them… Do you fight or not fight?

You are Austrian and this is 1943 so the army you have been called up to serve in is Hitler’s army… Do you fight or not fight?

Under Hitler the punishment for refusing to fight is that you will be beheaded… Do you fight or not fight?

You are a Catholic Christian and as such you are convinced that you cannot faithfully follow Jesus and fight in Hitler’s unjust war… Do you fight or not fight?

You go to your priest for advice and he tells you that it is your duty to fight for your country… Do you fight or not fight?

You go to consult the local bishop and he tells you that it is not your place to judge whether the war is just. It is your duty to obey those who have authority over you… Do you fight or not fight?

You go to talk with your mother. She tells you that you must fight as it is your duty to look after your wife and her grandchildren… Do you fight or not fight?

Finally it is decision day and you have one last conversation with your wife before finally making your mind up. She tells you that she supports you unfailingly. She knows the decision is an impossible one but you must follow your conscience…

Do you fight or not fight?

This was the decision that Franz Jägerstätter faced. He refused to fight and in 1943 was executed for refusing to obey military orders.

Read the life of Franz Jägerstätter.

Summarise you opinion as to whether Franz Jägerstätter should have fought or not. What can we learn from this story about the duties of a Christian peacemaker?
