Increased needs are

'Before over 800 clergy, reli­gious and laity of the diocese, Bisho'p Daniel A. Cronin last week listed accomplishments made possible by the proceeds of the 1981 Catholic Charities Ap­peal and urged cooperation with the 1982 campaign.

"Since the apostles and disci­ples first experienced the joy of the Lord's Resurrection, the Pas­cha'i Season has been a time of particular delight for faithfuil Christians," said the bishop.

"Characteristic of this blessed time of year has been a desire on the part of joyfu1 'Easter people,' as Saint Augustine has described us, to translate our Faith into good and kindly deeds, and to do so with enthusiasm and generos­ity." .

"The need is very great," the prelate told the Bishop Connolly High School gathering. "Our slo­gan this year reminds everyone,

foreseen 'Your gift can do so much for so many."

-'Let's examine this little phrase. I suggest that we first look back to the 1981 Catholic Charities Appeal when your gifts did do so much for so many.

"After deducting modest ex­penses from our record-setting Appeal a year ago, we found that $11,4 mi'llJion was made avaH­able, through the generosity of contributors, for diocesan works of charity: our social service apostolates, our educationa1 en­deavors, our programs for young­sters, for the retarded, for sick folks, our pastoral activities.

"We are proud of the lovely Family Life Center opened dur­ing the year in Nol'th Dartmouth, serving folks from every area of the Diocese. This attractive and efficient facility is the focal point for our new, growing outreach to

families, hurting families and healthy families, engaged couples, newlyweds, parents, chHdren, golden agers, to all who populate that blessed unit of society, the family. .

"We feel that we have im­proved our social service aposto­late in the Attleboro area with the refurbished regional office. Here Catholic counseling is avail­able to troubled souls, gentle as­sistance is provided for unwed mothers, and our agencies have helped in the settlement of refu­gees from war-weary Southeast Asia..

"Funding for our Nazareth Aposto'late for scholarship grants for pupfils has been at a record 'level. The St. Vincent de Paul Camp, serving underprivileged youngsters and retarded boys and girls, has required unprece­dented subsidies to maintain its

15,000 at NCEA meet

By NC News Service CHICAGO (NC)-Catholic edu­

cators at their annual convention here last week extolled the spir­itual vision of parochial schools while President Reagan addressed the financial burden of parents who send their chi:ldren to such schools. (Reagan story below.)

NCEA officials estimated that nearly 15,000 people attended the 79th annual convention which had as its theme "Values and Vision."

They included Father George W. COleman, director of educa­tion, who headed a delegation of some 12 school principals from the Fall River diocese.

Holy Cross Father Theodore M. Hesburgh tOld the delegates that "most of us can trace our own religious and cultural allililnce to that of our family but, in larger measure, it has been weakened or strengthened by our educa­tion."

Without Christian education, "it is highly unlike'1y. that suffi­cient people wilf be formed in the manner that will insure the continua') growth and expression of the kingdom of God," Father. Hesburgh, president of the Uni­versity of Notre Dame, said in his address on "The Catholic

Church and Education." Father Hesburgh praised Rea­

gan, saying that every president had to find his own set of priori­ties and he thought it was high time for tuition lEjX credits to be considered in the whole politica! process.

Futurist Robert Theobald quizzed Catholic educators on whether education today is pre­paring young people for tomor­row. A majority indicated that it was not.

"Our educational system was designed to turn out people who would take orders," Theobold said. "Now, nobody can survive unless they can think for them­selves.

"If we were to treat children as twice as bright as we think they are we would solve half of our educational problems tomor­row morning,". Theobold con· tinued. "We must understand that the whole system of educa­tion is obsolete· - we divide everything into nice tiny . little pieces. We have to learn to think in new ways."

He encouraged the educators to trust the children they work with and said it was easy if they looked at what they were doing

'Matter of equity' CHICAGO (NC)-To the cheers

of Catholic educators President Reagan unveiled his proposal for tuition tax credits April 15, say­ing the credits were "a matter of tax' equity" for working class families.

Reagan's proposal, st;1I in draft form and to be sent to Congress in "a few weeks, would give par­ents tax credits for half the tui­tion paid for each child in a non­pub'lic grade or high school.

The credits woUld be phased . in over a three-year period, with

maximum credits of $100 per student in 1983, $300 per student in 1984 and $500 per student in 1985 and beyond, Reagan told the annual convention of the Na­,tional Catholic Edut:ational As­sociation.

The proposal "marks a major development in the effort to ob­tain justice for thousands of fam­ilies struggling to defend their right to freedom of choice in education," said Father Daniel F. Hoye, general secretary of the

America: Try To Be Neutral The current British-Argentine affair is one of those

comic adventures that so often, as history testifies, turn to tragedy. The concept of a tin-hat dictatorship claiming its rightful inheritance by means of force is ~omewhat alien to the American mind, always putting aside the facts of our own national revolution.

The escapades of a military junta gain little popularity amid our populace because those strangers. to the south are so "foreign" to all that we say we stand for in the free world. How can we possibly have one shred .of sympathy for people who don't even speak English? .

On the other hand, we forget our struggle for national \ sovereignty as soon as the Union Jack is' unfurled. The fact is that we never .really won oUI:, own revolt against the mother country. The British simply let it appear. that way. Thus, when the fleet sailed from Portsmouth it might as well have been the same port in New Hampshir~. Americans, in general, are such anglophiles that they feel Britain must be right in all her undertakings.

The present adventure in the South Atlantic would not have occurred were it not for Britain's original need of a coaling station for her once glorious fleet.

Church g~dens? As Mark Twain said,

"Everybody with a new idea is a crank until he succeeds." So bear with me until I con­vince you <that.a parish can profit by putting in a community gar­den.

Thousands of groups across the country have taken unused land or wide expanses of lawn, turned it into gardens for apart­ment dwellers and found the pro­ject a great community builder.

With spring upon us, it's worth considering for <the parish with: 1) a lot of retirees who are watching their food dollars and missing garden fresh vegetables; 2) a significant number of apart­ments and condos filled with parishioners and others who sore­ly miss their backyard plots; 3) a desire to build closer parish relationships among the non­joiner types, especially men; 4) land presently used for lawn or being held for future building; and 5) a hope to reach out to others in the form of ex­class harvest in that faU. Or any of the above.

I was struck by the possibility when I saw it working in our

own community, where last sum­mer I saw dozens of people work­ing <together on unused land across from the library. In <the long sunset hours, apartment dwellers, young and old, men and women, each working his or her own plot, worked, talked, and enjoyed a love of growing. Many who had lived in the same build­ing for years grew to know each other for the first time as they discussed fertilizer, bugs and each other's gardens.

I suspect these friendships en­riched the dreary winter days as well.- I know that several got to­gether at harvest time to can and freeze excess produce for downtown soup kitchens. . In addition, we have an out­

A :do,ubtful dream Here in a nutshell is

President Reagan's proposal ror . tuition tax credits an­nounced at the National Catholic Educational Association convention in Chicago Apri!l 15:

-A tax credit for parents of up to $100 per child in 1983 based on one-half of tuition paid. That means that if the tuition bill for one child is $150, the maximum credit that can be taken for that child is $75.

-The maximum credit per child rises to $300 in 1984 and $500 in 1985, again based on one­ha,lf of tuition paid.

-No cash payments for dow­income individuals who pay little or no tax.

-No credits for college tuition. -No credits for taxpayers

with adjusted gross incomes of $75,000 or higher. Only partial credits for those with adjusted gross inromes between $50,000 and $75,000.

-No credits for children in racially discriminatory schodls. The schools must also be private and non-profit.

Even before Reagan announced his ,proposal, one of the biggest objections in Washington was its cost. Simply stated, credits mean fewer dollars for the Treasury and Huger budget deficits.

aut administration officials stressed that the president want­ed to fuWlI ·his 1980 campaign promise to work for tuition tax credits for parents who send their children to private and .pa­rochial schools.

Officials also use words such as "negligiljle" and "minimal"

,to describe the proposal's impact on the budget. .

That may make the proposal more palatable to Congress, at least compared to the other ma­jor tuition tax credit proposal, the Packwood-Moynihan bill which in its· first year would ,have added $2.3 'billion to the deficit had it been approved by Congress. But the Reagan meas­ure, since it does not include col­lege tax credits or cash refunds for the non-taxpaying poor, is only supposed to cost $100 mil­Hon in ·the first year, $600 milHon in the second, and $1.5 bi'llion in' 1987.

o :But even if Congress were to

find the Reagan measure accept­able, the other big question in Washington is whether it comes too late for the current Congress, which by September will be itch­ing to go home for the election campaigns.

... ritual of planting, weeding and harvesting. Such projects work like this: the community (or par­ish) plows the land, divides it in­to plots and offers it free of charge to people on a first-come basis. They are expected to plant, weed and harvest. If they have excess produce, needy outlets are furnished. As valuable as this is to others, it also pays off in community building. Much shar­ing takes place while weeding and watering.

I envision a parish with the up­keep and water expenses of a two acre lawn putting it to bett~r

use in these days when so many . are in need. I see it inviting peo­ple to become an active and visi­ble part of the parish life through tilling together. I even see it turning its church kitchens over some Saturdays for canning, freezing and the pleasure that comes for working hard together for others.

Administration officials insist it is not too late for the 97th Congress to enact tuition tax credits. But Sen. Robert J. Dole (R-Kan.), who as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee will have' major control over progress of the legislation, said he did not think it would reach the Senate floor before Congress adjourns. Moynihan said nearly the same thing.

Another major problem is that the Reagan proposal is only a "draft," to be further ,refined in consu'ltation with congressional I

leaders before going to Capitol Hill "in a few weeks."

College hopes fade

The speaker of the House, Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., at­tended a Washington party last month where he met Ms. Frankie Brewer, a guidance counselor at the Winder-Barrow High School in Winder, Ga. After suitable apologies, Ms. Brewer mentioned 'to the speaker the hardships imposed on students who had expected to go to col­lege on money from Social Security survivor education bene­fits, one of the many programs leveled by Ronald Reagan and approved in the Gramm-Latta budget "reconciliation" process.

She mentioned in" particular Debby Davis, head cheerleader and honor student at Winder­Barrow, who just wouldn't be able to make it ,to college under the Draconian provisions laid down under the new law. At 17, Debby is on her own, her father dead and her mother in another city. Having learned finally that the Socia.) Security system would be sending survivor benefits only to those enrolled in college full time by May 1, she was about ·to give up the whole idea.

The speaker was moved by the story, so moved, in fact, that when he went to the White House two days later, he reo counted it to the. president of the United States.

Ronald Reagan, instantly sym­pathetic, turned to counselor Ed­win Meese and said, "Find out about this, let's see what we can do."

The speaker said, "No, no, Mr. President. I'm not talking about one individual. I'm talking about thousands, who expected to go to college on their parents' Social Security. We made a mistake in Congress when we cut them off, and we ought to correct it. These kids will never be on welfare. They would be contributing members of society."

The chances of reversing the law are dim. The most that can be hoped for is a delay until Oct. I. Rep. Tom Downey, D-N.Y., has introduced such a bill. So far, he hasn't been able to get a hearing on it. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., lined up 20 co-sponsors for a similar bill on the Senate. The Reagan cutoff, however, would save $2.2 billion, and high school seniors do not have a lobby to compete with groups trying to stop slashes in Medicare, food stamps and the like.

Debby Davis' story has a rela­tively happy ending. Frankie Brewer and other good people of Winder pervailed on her to make the try, and now she attends high school three days a. week for six hours and attends night classes at a nearby community college four hours a night.

She's a little tired, but maybe not quite so tired as Sally Peck, a 17-year-old senior at George­town Visitation School, who is also' attending full time Mont: gomery Junior 'College. She esti·

mates she drives 80 miles a day to keep up in both places. Made· line !Lacovara, the school's stu­dent counselor, sent a letter to ,President Reagan, pointing out that Sally is Illn orphan who lives with an aunt and uncle who have six children of their own.

She has received no answer. Ronald Reagan' said recently

in an interview, "I'm Scrooge to a lot of people, and if they only knew it, I'm the softest touch they've had in III long time."

He probably is. He tells us that he falls for every hard-luck story he hears and gives a tenth of his income to individuals. He hears about a Debby Davis and his heart goes out to her. What he cannot relate to is the horde behind her - some 250,000 other high school seniors who have no hope of relating their dashed hopes to him face to face or having the speaker speak for them.

The cut tells a great deal about Reagan's feeling about the desir­ability of college education for the maximum number of Ameri­cans. The decision was made on the basis that many whose sur­vivors did not pay that much into the system - and further rationalized on the grounds that ,those who ,lose out can apply elsewhere. But that won't wash, because Reagan proposes to gut the Pell Grants, a program for middle and low-income stu­dents, and! to cut the student loan program by $1.7 billion by 1984.

What takes the denial of high­er education to so many out of the too-bad mode and into the shameful one is the way it was done. High school seniors had to read the papers to find out that. their college days were im­periled. The Social Security Ad­ministration neither notified them ,that the end was nigh nor told them that even if they en­roBed in time, their annual pay­ments would be cut by 25 per­cent annually - to zero by graduation year. Downey took it upon himself to tour his Long Island district alerting guidance counselors. Levin says that one Social Security regional office sent out thousands of outdated brochures that promised high school seniors that they were en­titled to benefits at a "post­secondary" institution.

Downey says the stealth of the action represents "an in­defensible breach of government faith."

Reagan doesn't care what his fellow citizens think of govern­ment. He does care what they think about him. If !le's going to convince them he's the "softest touch they've had in a ·long time," he could start by being fair to high school students, who have not only been <Jeprived, but cheated.

Emotional tr~uma amo~g physi­cians and medica" staff members who perform second trimester dilatation and evacuation abor­tions pose one of the biggest problems for' the procedure, ac~ cording toOB/GYN. News, a medical neWspaper based' in Rockville. In' a recent article, physicians said that method of abortion 'ma~es the physician acutely aware of his act. Medi- ' cal staff members take out their frustrations ,by getting angry with patients and physicians. Some report an increase in abor­tion-related dreams and night­mares. '

ALAS vs. GSL Congress is considering a

Reagan proposal to end par­ticipation of graduate and professional students in the federal Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL)'program. One-half of the over 100,000 graduate students in New England presently depend heavily on the ,GSL program.

"The Administration's pro­posal, if passed, will inflict considerable harm on New England's knowledge-intensive economy,': according to state Senator Gerard D'Amico, vice chairman of the New England Board of Higher Education, and a member of the Finan­cial Aid Council of the New

,England Board of Higher Edu­cation.

Advanced training, warns , John C. Hoy, president of the

New England Board, must not become the "exclusive right" of weaithy U.S. or fo~­eign students.

The Reagan proposal would' make graduate students eli­gible only for Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students (ALAS) ob­

, tained from banks. ALAS loans have an interest rate" of 14 per cent and repayment be­gins 60 days after the money is received; even though the student is still in colIege.

GSL loans are available at 9 per cent interest, with re­,payment postponed until after

. a student graduates. The present federal assist­

ance of needy graduate stu­dents, argues Hoy, is a wise investment benefiting the economy. "In addition, the student after graduation earns more and pays higher federal income taxes."

"Citizens - should exercise their democratic right," urges Hoy, "and express their views to their legislators in Wash­ington. It is not too late to be heard." A vote on the GSL program is expected this month and Hoy' urges that int~rested citizens express their views to their legislators promptly. •

Parish marks centenary With balloons and trumpets,

with liturgy and feasting, the Fall River parish of Saints Peter and Paul, last weekend marked it~ 100th birthday. The celebra­*0 was' the high point of a year pf jubilee for a parish which rose phoenix.ilike from a disas­trous 1973 fire.

Events got under way last Friday when 55. Peter and Paul schoolchildren in white and green T-shirts designed by stu­dent Lori Pacheco released bal· loons bearing word of the 100th birthday party. They were later rewarded by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin with an extra day out of school.

On Saturday came the centen­ary Mass with Bishop Cronin as principal celebrant and nearly 30 area priests as concelebrants. Many of the priests had been as­sociate pastors at 55. Peter and Paul.

Joining the observance were Pastor Gerald Blais of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Rev. James Hornsby of St. Luke Episcopal Church. Both are active in the Niagara Neighborhood Associa. tion, an ecumenical group seek­ing with 55. Peter and Paul to improve the quality of life in their area of Fall River.

In his homily Bishop Cronin recalled the parish history, be· ginning in 1882 when Father Patrick Doyle was named first pastor by Bishop Matthew Har­kins of Providence.

During Father Doyle's ll-year pastorate a small church build­ing and the present rectory were burlt. A souvenir booklet distribu­ted to parishioners includes a re­production of an 1895 ticket on a raffle designed to benefit the building fund. For 25 cents, a purchaser had a chance to win a $325 'grand piano, a $50 gold watch, or a $10 gold chain, not to mention a chest of tea, a bar­rel of ~our, a ton of coal, a silk umbrella or a plush album.

Through the years, recalled

the bishop, "the faith continued to grow and mature here under the pastoral care of a successive number of devoted pastors; men of faith, one and all: Father Ber­nard McCahill, Father WiII.iam Curley, Father Thomas Kelley, Monsignor George Maxwell, Monsignor John Kelly, Father David O'Brien, Father Francis Coady, and your present Pastor, Monsignor Patrick J. O'Neill. We . give thanks today to the good Lord for these wonderful priests."

The pastors were assisted over the years by "a host of able and dedicated coworkers," continued the bishop.

"Many have since gone to their eternal reward. However, we con­tinue to be blessed with a goodly number of former assistants. Who can ever forget Fath,er Bernard Unsworth, Father Wil­liam O'Connell, Father John Driscoll, a native son of this grand parish, 'Father John An­drews, Father John Moore, Moore, Father Ronald Tosti, and the good priests currently assist­ing Monsignor O'Neill in the pastoral care of souls here: Father Stephen Fernandes and Father Edmund Fitzgerald.

Of the "bad times," the bishop said: "Your faith was put to the test on that tragic day: of April 10, 1973, when the impressive and much loved church structure in which this Family of God had worshipped for generations was suddenly and without warning destroyed by fire.

."Although such an event was indeed shocking and painful, the faith of this believing community remained strong and in truth be­came even stronger. Through that sad event and through the events which followed upon it, this community showed itself, in a remarkable way, to be "of one heart and one mind" - united in strong bonds of faith with its liishop, its parish priests and one' another . . .

"This community of faith in­deed believed and through care­

. ful and rather extensive pastor­.al planning, this parish commun­ity experienced a new birth. On April 27, 1975 - less than two years /after the sad destruction of the former church building, it was my happy privilege to bless the new church, the new parish center and the eight grade parish school, all located in the former school building which had been beautifully re­fashioned and remodeled.

"And almost five years to the day of the dedication of your new parish facility, we gathered again to celebrate the termina­tion of the parish debt and the burning of the parish mortgage.

"My dear people, the faith of this community was put to the test. It was literally tried by fire. However, your strong faith, the strong faith of this believing people, sustained this community

. through the bad times, brought you through them, and has' brought us to this glorious mo­ment, ,this wonderful occasion on which we give heartfelt thanks to Almighty God for 100 years of faith!"

Music for the centenary Mass ~as by the parish choir, re­hearsed by Father Fernandes and directed for the occasion by Glenn Giuttari, director of music at 51. Mary's Cathedral; the folk group, directed by Edmond Ma­chado; and first grade pupils, who sang an Easter hymn.

Mrs. Thomas Farren was or­ganist and brass and percussion were provided by Steven Dube, Joseph Mendonca and Mike Alves.

A dinner dance folIowed the Mass.

longing, an awareness of sup­port, a recognition that we have much in common - here there is community."-Evelyn and James Whitehead

Continued from page one U.S. Catholic Conference; pub/lic policy arm of Ithe U.S. bishops.

Father. Hoye said non-public schools "are supported at. great· financial sacrifice by. people whose taxes help pay the cost of the nation's pul;lic schools."

Reagan emphasized that his tuition tax credit proposal, ·prom" ised during the 1980 election campaign, would not aid the rich and would be specially benefi­

.' cial to minorities and the poor. The proposal does not offer

tax credits for college tuitions. "I wish we co~d include college as well, but you know the budg­etary constraints we are working

. under," Reagan said. Families with adjusted gross

incomes of more than $75,000 would not qualify for the credits.. FamrIies with incomes between

.$50,000 and $75,000 would re­ceive only partial credits.

While the mood in the conven­tion hall for the most part was

The New England Passion Play . joyful, ·Regan also found himself face-to-face with elements of the ''THE CHRI TUS" Catholic anti-war movement.

Perhaps as many as 100 to 150 people, many wearing purple rib. bons symbdlizing opposition to

nuclear war, stood in protest dur­ing the speech.

Their· presence prompted Rea­gan to depart from his prepared text to say that he shared their desire for peace.

Thomas McLaughlin, religious education director at a Chicago .school, said ffater that while Cath· olic educators are' teaching their students what the church is say­ing about. war, "we need to let the president know what we think."

Reagan administration officials who briefed reporters in Wash­ington on the tuition tax credit proposal said that at least ini­tially the' president's proposal would have only a small impact on the federall deficit.

Gary L. Jones, deputy under­secretary for planning in the De­partment of -Education, said the 1983 revenue loss because of the tax credits would be only $100 mrllion and would increase to only $600 million in 1984.

'Presidential assistant David Gergen added that since the ·tax loss was so small R~agan "thinks We can find room for it." despite the current effort to trim the federal defiCit.·

Some concern was expressed that the proposal might have come too late for passage in the current session of Congress. But Jones said, "It's never too late. This is on~y April."

Tax credit opponents were not pleased :by the president's ad­dress.

Sen. Erriest Hollings (D-S.C.) said Regan's plan violates the doctrine ·of separation of church and state and "starts a new hemorrhage" of federal spending.

Demonstra·tors outside :the con­. vention haH also reitlilrated argu­

ments that tax credits would harm public schools and subsi­dize religion.

Christian 'Brother Francis Hue­ter, . executive secretary of the Christian Brothers National Com­mittee on Peace and Justice, said Catholic schools provide a view of life that has meaning and Catholic school students need to know that and see it in action.

Schools can create a just at­mosphere by conveying a struc­ture and an order, Brother Hue­ter said.

·But Father Charles Beirne, headmaster of Regis High SchoOlI in Brooklyn, N.Y., warned that

. the "peacef.ulness" settling on Catholic schools can be danger­ous.

"We have survived the 60s and 70s. We've made it. It looks ,like our schools wrIlsurvive," he said. "However, this peacefulness can become a plateau, a complacency preventing the further maturing of the chuN:h since Vatican (Council) II."

Father Beirne urged educators . to look at the shifting national

priorities and to speak out posi­tively.

Auxiliary 'Bishop Eugene A. Marino of Washington told edu­cators that "we work at improv­ing CathOlic schools, not because the public schools are horren­dous, but because we feel values such as sacrifice, courage and faith which spell the difference

. are missing." .

Archbishop· Pio Laghi, apos­tolic delegate in the United States, told NCEA seminary de· partment delegates that the U.S. church "has brought commend­able energy and practical wis­dom to the renewal of seminary programs.':

Archbishop John oR. Roach of St. 'Paul-Minneapolis spoke to the National Association of Boards of Education and the Na­tional Forum of Catholic Parent Organizations.

"A board must be absolute'ly clear, about its mission and au­thority," said the president. of the National Conference of Cath­olic Bishops. "It must define pre­cisely the role of pastor, princi­pal and the board's relationship to a diocesan board of educa­tion or, if it is a diocesan board of education, that board's 'rela­.tionship to the bishop."

The NCEA Religious Educa­tion Congress and the Catholic Library Association meeting were ·held in conjunction with the NCEA 'convention.

. Combined confirmation

Dear Editor: I had the great pleasure of .be­

ing sponsor at the combined con­firmation at St. Mary's Church in Taunton. I thought it was beautiful.

At first, I was doubtful of its success because it limited the number of people who could at­tend, but with 250 confirmation candidates, their sponsors and their parents, this was something I'll remember for a long time.

The five different colored robes, the many priests, the beautiful music and of course the bishop himself all added to­gether with the newly decorated interior of St. Mary's Church really made for a night to re­member.

I hope everyone who was there on ,that Wednesday evening en­joyed it as much as I did.

Ecumenism Dear Editor:

The flaw in the 'logic of Brother Hector and' the Catholic sector of the Taize ecumenical community (Anchor, April 2,) as they attempt to present a "visi­ble sign of reconciliation" to fa­cilitate unity is that they place the Catholic Church in the same footing with heretical sects and in so doing obscure the true Catholic ecumenical sense.

For "the only Catholic and practical form of ecumenism is to present the faith, courteously and clearly to Protestants as in­dividuals, doing everything possi­ble to clear away misconceptions without co~promising the truth.

"What the Church teaches is true and it follows that ~here

Protestants reject Catholic teach­ing they are rejecting the truth, however sincere they may be in' their beliefs. No one is more in­jured by the policy of Catholic ecumenists in obscuring the truth to please Protestants than are the Protestants themselves. ONLY FULL·L1NE RELIGIOUS
