ger to America today?
The Catholic archbishop of
Cincinnati, John T. McNich-
ols, thinks it is. He argues
that America’s diluted reli-
gion, spread throughout the
educational system by non-
Christian and non-Catholic
exponents, is breeding com-
munists and dangerous radi-
cals among the younger gene-
ration.
1 It is entirely natural for a
Catholic prelate to defend his
faith and to promote Cathol-
icism. It is logical for him
also to believe that any ag-
gressive Christian activity in
the schools would be an in-
fluence for good.
But we are not so sure that
complete direction of a na-
tion’s schools by the church
would be a guarantee of per-
fection. Spain’s schools were
parochial. And witness poor,
bleeding Spain today, torn to
shreds by brothers.
