Campaign For Racial Justice
Bv Catholic Press Is Praised
NEW YORK—(NO)—The Cath
olic press will continue its battle
for racial equality and understand
ing in the United States, accord
ing to James F. Kane, executive
secretary of the Catholic Press
Association of the United States.
Speaking at the New York Cath
olic Interracial Council’s observ
ance of Catholic Press month, Mr.
Kane said “Catholic editors in all
fields of our press believe that
interracial justice can’t wait. They
have shown their eagerness to ap
ply the command of Jesus Christ,
Our Lord, love one onother’ direct
ly to the interracial question.”
“The zeal of Catholic editors for
interracial justice proves their
fundamental courage in reporting
to their readers all the facts their
readers need to know in order to
lead thoroughly Catholic lives,” he
declared.
“Catholic editors have never hes
itated to take a determined edi
torial stand for interracial justice.
They have done so without pussy
footing or soft-pedaling they have
definitely not remained in the
cozy realm of carefully couched
generalities but have applied our
Catholic principles of interracial
justice to concrete cases, and.
sometimes to explosive situations.”
A highlight of the meeting was
presentation to Mr. Kane of a com
mendation of the Catholic Press in
the United States by the Officers
and directors of the Catholic In
terracial Council.
The statement lauded the “con
tribution made by Catholic pub
lications throughout the country
to make better known the teach
ings of the Church with regard to
equality of all men. regardless of
race or color and in emphasizing
that the racial problem in America
is fundamentally a moral problem
and for devoting space to inter
racial problems, programs and
achievements.”
In accepting the commendation
on behalf of the Catholic Press
Association, Mr. Kane declared
that the work of the Catholic in
terracial Councils throughout the
country was “an expression of
Christian living.” He declared that
the 19 councils had done a service
to the Catholic press in keeping
its editors “alert and informed on
interracial progress and day-to
day developments.”
Outlining the scope and influ
ence of the Catholic Press, Mr.
Kane stated that the readers of
its nearly 500 publications num
bered about 45 million people, a
figure which did not include the
readers of Catholic books, book
lets and pamphlets. He cited in
stances of the work of these pub
lications and of the N.C.W.C. News
Service in support of the cause
of interracial justice and declared:
“If all the American press had
been as zealous for interracial jus
tice as our Catholic press, full in
terracial justice in America would
no longer be a goal still to be
gained, but a happy reality.”
-------------o-------------------
Beyond the selfish motive is
the fundamental spiritual and
moral concept of the equal worth
before God and man of every var
iant of mankind in race, color and
creed.

LOS ANGELES—(NO An or

Supreme Court the establishment
of atheism as the nation’s “re

emeritus of Yale University divin

the fourth annual Southern Cal
ifornia Ministers’ Convocation.
Dean Weigle, a Lutheran, said
there is a disposition on the part of
atheist groups to expel God from
government and education as an
“illegal entry.” He said this is
being brought about by trying to
have the First Amendment of
Constitution interpreted, so
tremeiy “as to confine God to
Church and outlaw Him in
state.”

Parish Promotes Catholic Press

This Catholis Press Month exhibit was arranged by girls of the eighth grade at Christ the King
school, Columbus. They received permission from Sister Josephine, O.P., principal (shown above), and
the Rev. Leo R. Brehm, pastor, to place the display in the parish meeting room, where all pupils see
it every day, and where adult members of the parish see it at their organization meetings. Four of the
eighth-graders are shown with Sr. Josephine. They are, left to right: Joen Miller, Martha Webster, Jean
nine Gartner, and Patricia Holzmer. Adult visitors at the right are Mrs. Franklin Holzmer, left, and Mrs.

full religious freedom,’’ Dean
Weigle told the ministers. “When
the state through the Supreme
Court threatens to exclude
from tax-supported schools
commits them to atheism, this
denial of religious freedom.”
Dean Weigle said the decision of
the Supreme Court in the McCol
lum case, which outlawed a releas
ed-time religious instruction pro
gram in Champaign, Ill., was “un
warranted and mischievous.” He
said the decision proclaimed an
“impossibly absolute doctrine of
separation of church and state
which throws doubt upon the in
clusion of any religious element in
government and in education.”
“The court has set up the sec
tarianism of atheism as the estab
lished religion,” Dean Weigle said.

Born in 1877 at Bordighera,
Italy, Father Petrarca earned a
Master's degree in music at the
age of 19, and at 24 he was a
Doctor of Medicine.
He was ordained at Ugento Lec
ce, Italy, in 1899 by Bishop Aloy
sius Pugliese. Before coming to
Columbus he served at other par
ishes in Old Forge, Pittston, and
Scranton all in Pennsylvania, and
at Milford, Mass.
He won a reputation for his
ability to compose and arrange his
own church music, and he was
widely known also for his mastery
of English, Italian, French, Span
ish, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.
Dean Weigle said separation of
church and state in America means
that “the church is to have its full
chance to live and worship, to
work and teach it means that be
licvers are to educate their child
ren in schools that will at least
not impair their faith.”
He declared that when the pub
lic school omits God from its teach
ings, it gives “a distorted and tin
true view of history and of litera
ture and of human society.” He
said such a school “puts itself into
the anomalous position of attempt
ing to perpetuate and advance a
our
that
cul-
culture without informing
children concerning the faith
inspired and sustained that
ture.”
“The public school is not
filling its primary purpose of
cation for citizenship in American
democracy if it maintains a policy
of silence with respect to faith
in God,” Dean Weigle said. “There
is nothing in the statue of the pub
lie school as an institution of the
state to render it godless. There
is nothing in the principle of re
ligious freedom or separation of
church and state that prevents it
from recognizing faith in God.”
