• W4379791845 abstract "An Outlaw’s Theology Francis X. Kroncke “As to Francis X. Kroncke, I sentence you to a maximum of five years imprisonment. Your time to be served in a federal penitentiary…” The Judge is a good man. He’s an appointee of the liberal senator from Minnesota, Hubert H. Humphrey, who served as Vice President to Lyndon B. Johnson. All good men. America’s top leaders. The best of the best. But to them, I, a raider of draft boards, destroyer of the files of war: “You … are worse than the average criminal who attacks the taxpayer’s pocket book. You strike at the foundation of government itself.” January 1971, Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am condemned. I’m not stunned. I expected the judgment. I’m not numb. Rather, I am baffled. I should be knee‐knocking, pee‐running‐down‐my‐leg scared, but that comes later. I should slump down into my chair, nestle my head in my hands and wail, sob, and beg for mercy, but that comes later. I should scream like a madman and hurl angry and vile words, but that comes later. I am simply baffled. I am not a good man. That’s what they want me to know, accept. Of everything of which they accuse me—of being a traitor (I was actually indicted for “sabotage of the national defense”), being un‐American, a “pinko,” a Communist, a fag, a coward, a heretic, a blathering idiot—nothing cuts my heart out but this: I am not a good man. When I burgled draft boards, I was seeking to be faithful to the radical spirituality being championed by Vatican Council II. Pope John XXIII was opening the church’s tightly shuttered windows, letting in light of day from the outside world of other religions and secular societies. He issued “Pacem in Terris” (“Peace on Earth”), and the Council claimed, “The holy People of God shares also in Christ’s prophetic office.” They spoke about “building up the international community.” Issued warnings about the apocalyptic perils of “total war” and the need to work toward “the avoidance of war” and “curbing the savagery of war.” I was cowed by the Council’s challenging call for “the total banning of war, and international action for avoiding war.” Most of all, I pondered, “It is our clear duty, then, to strain every muscle as we work for the time when all war can be completely outlawed by international consent.” (My italics.) I am not a good man. How could I not believe them? A judge and a jury, what more is required? In the courtroom, I stand tall and forceful. Six‐foot‐three, two‐fifteen, athletic, collar‐curling dark brown hair, twenty‐six years young. Bespectacled. I rise and speak with an Aeolian voice, quoting ancient scriptures, and making manifest the aching, weary desire of humans for simple peace on earth. My voice does not quaver. I do not yield. I am not ashamed. I testify to my deepest desire to be a good man. To be a son my father is proud of. To be a brother all the family admires. To bring tears of joy to my mother’s eyes, not bitter drips of salt down her cheeks. An eight‐day trial, thirteen witnesses: Vietnam vets, theologians, historians, ecologists, even Daniel Ellsberg. After I deliver my closing argument as attorney pro se, the judge directs the jury in Instructions to the Jury, Number 15 that they cannot consider any evidence I submitted. He does not want them to hear anyone or anything, and so, sternly yet fatherly, he instructs, “I direct you that everything Mr. Kroncke has said here for the last week, all the testimony of his witnesses, everything is irrelevant and immaterial.” But something goes wrong. A question never answered is: Did the clerk of the court, a seasoned professional, forget to remove my physical evidence after the judge’s ruling? Or did she intentionally… ? Somehow Defense evidence #6: The Documents of Vatican Two and Pope John XXIII’s “Peace on Earth” stayed in the evidence box and, despite the judge’s ruling, the jurors were reading them.
