feature of Catholic worship
and can be performed only by
an ordained priest.
Both groups have strong So
cial teachings, such as opposing
racial discrimination. Quakers
led the antislavery movement
in this country.
On specific issues, Catholics
stress family solidarity anc
oppose divorce and birth con-
troll. Quakers are known foi
advocating temperance, prison
reform, world service projects
and opposing capital punish
ment and war.
Quakers Have Fought
However, Quakers are not al
pacifists. They've fought ir
every American war. including
the Revolution. Yet many
Quaker pacifists went to Jail ir
World War I.
BY World War II, the Law
allowed conscientious objector;
to serve in -combatant jobs
But it has been estimated that
most eligible Quakers bore
arms. Both Vice President
Nixon and Senator Kennedy
are war veterans.
What are some of the ole
Smears?
One of them, which has
cropped up in the current cam
paign. Is the spurious so-calleC
knights of Columbus Oath,
a forgery from the Know
Nothing era that had its widest
circulation in the heyday of the
Ku Klux Klan.
1t purports to pledge mem
bers of the knights Of Colum-
bus, a fraternal and patriotic
order for Catholic laymen, tc
commit all sorts Of heinous
deeds, such as arson and mur-
der, against non Catholic
"heretics." It is a complete
fabrication.
Another old fraud, still cir.
culated, is Maria Monk" ar

a demented Canadian girl ir

Catholics. Can you tell me
whether Knigts of Columbus
actually take such an oath?"
Answer-I can tell you with
absolute certainty they do not.
This so-called "oath" has
been circulating around the
country for about 40 years.
Where it started we do not
know. 1t was published in the
Congressional Record February
IS, 1918, along with proof that
it was spurious and false.
Several persons who have cir
culated this "oath" through the
mails have been convicted of
criminal libel. A committee of
the Masonic Order-certainly
not prejudiced in favor Of Rom
an Catholics-made an impair
tial investigation of the ceremo-
mails, work and pledges of the
Knights Of Columbus and certi-
fed that nothing even similar
to the so-called oath" is used
by the knights in any way.
The oath" came to you an
onymously because the person
who circulates such false state
ments would not dare to sign
his name for fear Of criminal
prosecution.
