Church Controversy

Re: priests Graham Boy
colt Called Petty Fascism'."
(The Washington Star. May
IS. 1850.
DR.. George M. Docherty APP
points himself as q spokesman
Of the Protestant Churches in
the case Of FIR. John E. Kelly's
article relative to attendance
by Catholics at Reverend Billy
Graham's New York Crusade.
It is regrettable that one who
obviously knows so little about
the teachings Of the Catholic
Church made the press. AS q
result, errors and erroneous
opinions viii only be COM
pounded and multiplied.
In the first place. DR.. Doc
herty is quoted as saying: ''Dr.
Graham's teaching about
heaven rebutS O dangerous
heresy believed by some Prot
estants and all Roman Cath
olics Glike-namely, the mem
bership Of q particular church
per Sc guarantees admission to
heaven" (emphasis mine). The
Catholic Church teaches Moth
ing Of the kind. Heaven is the
reward Of q life deserving in
the eyes Of God Of such q re-
ward. Salvation by faith
alone" is not q teaching Of the
Catholic Church. Is 1t too
much to expect that DR.. Doc
herty should know this basic
fact Of Catholic teaching? We
certainly have q right to ex-
pect that anyone who attacks
the teachings Of our Church
should at least study the facts
and not fabricate for his own
purposes.
Secondly. Catholics are for
hidden by the First Command
ment to give false worship to
God. Partaking in the re-
ligious services Of others whose
faith and practices differ from
those df the Catholic Church
is forbidden to Catholics. This
Is the reason for FIR. Kelly's
article. It Is q reminder to
Catholics Of their obligations,
not an assault on Billy Ora
ham or the Protestant Church.
Finally. the charge of petty
fascism" Is neither applicable
nor worthy Of the reverend
minister. Fr. Kelly Is q duly
ordained priest Of the Catholic
Church and his writings have
the approval Of his Bishop. It
Is his duty as q priest to teach,
instruct and warn his flock
and to offer them q guide for
the solution Of current prob
lens. The priesthood does not
exercise q fascist domination;
it offers leadership and in
struction in keeping with the
teachings Of Christ himself.

Lowdown on Legends

It is about time this King
Canute legend got Strengthened
out once and for all.
Far from making any claim
that he could roll back the
waves, he became so weary
and disguised by the fulsome
fiattery Of his courtiers. that
one day he ordered q chair to
be taken and set down at the
edge Of the waves. and COM
manded the tide to cease COM
ing Unjust to show his cour-
tiers what utter nonsense they
had been talking. A very diff
ferent story from the one that
seems current these days.
Cinderella. too, is given q
false slant. for far from being
q ragged gutter urchin, she
was the daughter of the baron.
and it was her stepmother who
relegated her to the scullery to
give the ugly stepsisters q
chance. So when the press gets
all weepy when q millionaire
marries q hat-check girl, and
calls 1t another Cinderella
story - what utter nonsense
that Is. too. Folklore.

Ronk-ond-FiIe Paw

Why is it that the admins
tration is concerned about "in-
flationary pressures" only in
connection with considering
pay raises for the rank and
file Government employees? A
year or so ago. 1t supported
whole heartedly o very sub
stantial pay increase ($15,000
to $22.500 yearly for members
Of Congress and Federal
judges. When this legislation
was received at the White
House. the President was
awaiting it with pen in hand.
Similar treatment has since
been given q number Of top
level Government officials.
The judges and congressman
had q prewar salary Of $10,-
900 which means they have
had q l25 per cent increase
since 1871. The average rank
and file raise amounts to about
IS per cent for the same pc
Rod. These very stable raises
for Congress. judges and other
officials were dished out by the
administration without one
word about inflationary pres
sures. Why is it that the Re-
publican bigwigs have all this
concern about imitation every
time . meager little increase
Is proposed for the little fel.
lows? Now as always, the Re-
publican Party Is favoring the
upper-crust without any con-
Germ as to whether the little
fellow who holds the Govern
ment together Is able to meet
his bills. Disgusted.

Lawrence on Indignation

David Lawrence on May II
questioned the wisdom Of the
May II IMMIGRATION" demon
stration in Washington. He
labeled it as q celebration Of
the May II Supreme Court
decision but he failed to note
that this was q prayer pill
grimage in which the people
would thank God for the
righteousness Of the decision
and at the same time pray
that the nation would soon
rid us Of the blight Of segre-
cation in the interest Of the
welfare Of the nation and
peace about the world.
Mr.. Lawrence quoted Jus
tees Brandeis. Holmes and
Stone who upheld the "sepa-
rate but equal" doctrine. but
he failed to note the vigorous
dissent to the Plessy VS.. Fer
guson decision by Justice
John Marshall Harlan. At that
time Justice Harlan wrote:
1.-THE Louisiana (segregation)
laws placed a badge Of servi-
tude' upon the Negro" He
further wrote: "What can
more certainly arouse race
hate, what more certainly
create and perpetuate . feel
ing Of distrust between the
races, than state enactments,
which. in fact. proceed on the
ground that colored citizens are
so inferior and degraded that
they cannot be allowed to sit
in public coaches occupied by
white citizens.
Just as Thomas Jefferson
predicted dire results from
slavery so Justice Harlan
pointed out injustice must
come to an end eventually.
Fortunately Negroes through
the NAACP have always
sought lawful means to Sc
cure justice.
