race, and especially against
faith.
To those of us who find time
to keep abreast of the current
thought and opinions of the re-
sponsible Catholic leaders, it is
obvious that the Roman Catho-
lie Church in the United States
Is not the hugh monolithic SUI
perstructure devouring liberties
and enslaving consciences that
the uniformed sometimes make
1t out to be.
AS a matter of fact, we have
discovered in this church far
wider divergence of vie w
among both clergy and laity
than some of the pronounce
ments of its hierarchy might
warrant.
We are quite prepared to
agree with Professor John Ben
net of Union Theological Semi
nary in New York that in the
church "there is strong body
of Catholic teaching that is on
the side of s. liberal and DEM
ocratic conviction in regard to
the civil order" We are further
aware of the deep concern many
Catholic scholars have for our
ancient cleavages and of their
willingness on equal ground to
explore together our differences
and agreements as fellow Chris
tians. This in theological circles
is known as dialogue" which
Is one of the most enheartening
signs among Christians today.
But alas, all hope of sharing
these insights with our Protes-
tant brethren is shattered by the
virus of anti-Catholicism that
plaques the current election.
People whose hearts are poi
soned with mutual suspicious
and hostilities are in no mood
to think deeply on their essen
tial oneness in faith, and If big
otry spreads unchecked and UNI
abated, whoever wins the cleo
ton, Christ will be the loser!
While recent events have
demonstrated that the so-called
religious issue" is by no means
confined to the South, it is the
Southern Baptists who have un-
officially been the most articu-
late, and in the South we are
numerically the strongest reli-

numbers from other Protestant
communions who have remained
discreetly quiet and have been
perfectly willing for the Bap-
fists to carry the ball!
No one can really understand
the South unless he understands
the Baptists and that admitted
ly is not easy. Sometimes we
d ont understand ourselves.
Perhaps brief glance at his
tory will be helpful.
During the Reformation years,
the new religious bodies sep
arated from the Mother Church
(and from one another!) but did
not-for dear life's sake-sep-
arate themselves from their
governments. There were also
the small radical sects, among
whom the early Baptists were
quite prominent, who demanded
complete separation from the
state.
AS q result, while Protestant
prosecuted Catholic and Catho-
lie prosecuted Protestant, these
dissentients were caught in the
crossfire and got it from both
sides. The scars of those battles,
like those of the American Civil
War, have remained long and,
! fear, sometimes fresh.
Many of the same Baptists
who have expressed strong fears
about Catholicism have been
little less wary of their fellow
Protestants. Their reservations
about the National Catholic
Welfare Conference can just
about be matched by their res
ervations about the National
Council of Churches. It was
"only in America" that they
found the soil prepared for what
they had SO unsuccessfully es-
poused in the old countries.
Here, at last and for the first
time, government was set up
which provided in law and spirit
that no religious body would
have preferred status or official
ties with the state. And, here
at last, they have prospered,
especially in the southeastern
area of the nation. Today, in
positions of power and influ-
ence, they can remember old,
unhappy, far-off things-battles
of long ago-and heave a gen.
eral sigh: "Never again!"
While all this is said, not to
justify but to explain why Bap-
fists can so easily get aroused,
it must be pointed out that they
find it hard to accept that one
of the candidates belongs to the
only church in America which
has kept its official ties with the
old country. From the Roman
Catholic point of view this is
the Church Universal. From the
point of view of the Baptists,
it is suspect.
Where do I personally stand
in all of this? l believe as
strongly as Senator Kennedy in
the complete separation of
church and state. Incidentally,
I know of no Baptist who has

Eichmunn Trial Was Fair

trial these Americans became aware of
the fact that no international tribunal
exists and, because of the cold war, none
could be brought into existence to handle
the Eichmann case. They also woke up
to the fact that there is no Germany, but
rather two Germanies and that the trial
could not properly be held in either seq
ment of Germany.
But what is more watching
the Eichmann trial closely, they realized
that Israel was furnishing as just and
fair a tribunal as could be provided by
any country.
They also realized that their Objec-
tionS to holding the trial in Israel by an
Israeli court were based on highly alb
stract conceptions 1t is now obvious that

inally doubted the fairness of the trial

sistent in bringing up at every turn their
demands for direct peace talks with the
Arabs. When IsraePS insistence on this
point was not denounced (as it always
has been and still is being labeled by the
Arabs as propaganda, it was deemed by
others here as impractical" The atti-
tude has been: Why talk about peace? 1t
can't happen. The Arabs won't have it.
With all due respect to the United
States delegation and others practicing
such Super-caution, the Is co-sponSOrs of
the proposal have now replied: But why
not try? The co-SponSorS have, in fact
said: Let us see who will turn this reso-
luton down, Israel or the Arabs or BOTH
The resolution was a challenge.
The mere introduction of the 15-mem-
Der resolution was a mammoth defeat for
the Arabs here Of course they knew
that the draft was being circulated. 1t is
quite possible that they had seen the draft
before it was laid on the table. But they
couldn't halt the move. And they tried.
How they tried There were arguments,
there was cajolery, there was arm-twist-
ing, there were threats, there were even
attempted, albeit polite, briberies in the
sense that one member or another was
told that quid-pro-quo arrangement could
be made whereby his government would
get this if he gave on that.
But the Is stood fast. And they had
others behind them. Truly, they have
initiated a new era. Sooner or later, de-
spite the timidity of many big powers
including even the United States-they
stand an excellent chance of prevailing.

With the Eichmann trial over, the
American public is now realizing that
Israel has given Eichmann fair trial
and that Israel was the proper place for
the trial.
This has been established by study
of the American Jewish Committee Last
May, a month after the trial started, II
per cent of Americans queried in Gallup
Poll thought that Eichmann was getting
fair trial and q per cent had no opinion.
The percentage of those who believe he
received a fair trial is greater now and
includes even Americans who were origi-
nally opposed to the trial being held in
Jerusalem
The AJC report indicates that better
educated Americans were less in favor of
IsraePS undertaking the trial than were
the less educated. The educated non-JeWs
had preferred trial by an international
court However, since the opening Of the

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-SenSation-
al as it may SEEM highly experienced OBJ
servers here are asserting that the United

to Arab-Israel relations. They base this
optimism on the fact that for the first
time since the late 'forties or early 'fifties,
a resolution placed officially before the
United Nations has called for direct peace
negotiations between the Arab states and
Israel
The STEP considered unthinkable un-
til now, was taken before the General
Assemblys Special Political Committee,
which debated the hot Arab refugee is

them from countries in Africa below Sa-
