The Times finds itself in enthusiastic accord
with the movement inougurated by the Knights Of
Columbus to make the purposes and practices Of
Catholicism in America better known and thus re
move from our midst dangerous issue founded on
bigotry and intolerance

seven recommendations
I'VE should lose no proper occasion TO declare
the position Of Catholics, stated the report "and
the teachings Of the church on this matter, namely,
that while Catholics acknowledge the pope 10 be su-
preme in spiritual matters, they do not hold that
he has any authority in civil matters II any spirit.

support the public school system, but feel that re.
ligous instruction is necessary and therefore bear
an extra burden for private schools An opinion
was expressed that in time all general forms Of re.
ligion will be taught in free schools

general forms Of religion will be taught, unQues-
