a long way since then. But the Specter
of religious intolerance came into view
again on st. Patrick'S Day in Columbus
when Glenn Archer, Executive Secre-
tary of the Protestants and other
Americans United for the Separation
of Church and State, addresSeda
group of our fellow citizens at the
First Baptist Church on East Broad
Street.
Mr.. Archer, whose coming had been
announced on radio, TV and In the
press, followed the usual POAU line
by protesting against the repair of the
Pope's summer home by the us. gov
eminent as part of war reparation;
against federal aid to Sectarian hos
pitfalls; against the Church in Spain,
Latin America, France and Old Next
co; Philippine war damage reparationS;
and certain Catholic textbooks which
allegedly oppose the public school sys-
tenn.
HE CHARGED the Catholic Church
with e k e n ing the separation of
Church and State by asking for funds
for parochial school children, stating
that Pope John XIII told people how
to vote when he instructed Italians to
vote anti Communist, and citing pur-
ported attempts to control state legis-
latures by Catholic governors.
Mr.. Archer magnanimously said
POAU would endorse Kennedy for the
presidency if the Catholic hierarchy
would: treat Protestant missionaries
like fellow Christians in Latin America
and similar countries; allow the film
Martin Luther to be shown any,
where; stay out of the area of censor
ship, show real concern for "our lib

and totalitarian attitude.
Afterwards some questions were
answered, not all, and pamphlets OF an
anti Catholic nature were on sale at
the rear of the church.
WE ARE WEARY of replying to
these moss-covered charges. We men,
ton this to lament the fact that such
Scurrilous allegations were made on
st. Patrick's Day, when many Irish
Catholics were celebrating their free
dom from what has been described as
the most Severe prejudice and dis
elimination. a gainst any religious
group in US. history.
A hundred years ago, sympathy
came from a Protestant clergyman
who offered Bishop Kenrick asylum in
his home. Other moderate Protestant
leaders denounced the anti-Catholic
riots as an outrage.
