Billy Graham Partial
NEW YORK (NC) Billy Graham s “crusades are
definitely Protestant services” and Catholics who take part
in them are endangering their Faith, a priest has warned.
The judgement was made by Father John E. Kelly in
an article entitled “Part Way to God Via Billy Graham.”
appearing in the May 1 issue of
The Homiletic and Pastoral Re
view.
The review, a magazine for
.priests, is published here. Evan
gelist Graham will begin a cru
sade in Madison Square Garden
here on May 15 that will last at
least six weeks.
Father Kelly, who is director
of the Bureau of Information of
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference in Washington D.C.,
said there that the article repre
sents his personal views only.
Warning I hat “Billy’s teachings
about the Church are not the
same as Christ's teachings,” Fa
ther Kelly says in his article: "If
past performances are an index,
there will be some thousands of
Catholics listening to and pray

minister. For them, and for all
Catholics who listen to him. Billy
is a danger to the Faith.”

Referring tn Graham's book,

slates, holds that a person does
not have to belong to any one
church body to be saved, and
that theological differences in
churches are accidental.
Graham s book states that once
“you have accepted Christ as
your Saviour and put your trust
and confidence in Him..you have
already become a member of the
great universal church. You are
a member of the household of
faith.” the priest adds.
Father Kelly concludes: “Cer

would be much more effective if
they were administered with
even half the efficiency of the
Graham team.
“Catholics, both clerical and
lay. may well imitate Billy's ded

all who fail under the spell of

If to give continuity to the
mission of Christ is the equiva

fully lived up to his motto. His
function was to represent Christ
as teacher, priest, and master.
He was mindful at all times of

classroom, or the office. There

“The death of Bishop Ready
brought a loss to all of us. His

From John M. Vorys:

He was a great man. a spiritual
statesman, my friend. I saw his
war work in Washington, wit
nessed his consecration as Bish

service in Ohio to his church and
the people of all faiths. His
friendly, magnetic personality,
his strong character, his unifying
leadership in community and na
