New York Times Publishes
Reply to Open Letter Sign
ed by ‘150 American Prot
estants’
Mr. and Mrs. Bart
Married Fifty Years
Parents of Sister Marie
Therese Observe Jubilee
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
One hundred and fifty leading
American Catholics from every sec
tion of the union replied to the open
letter in the New York Times signed
by 150 Protestants attacking the re
cent Pastoral Letter issued by the
Hierarchy of Spain. The open letter
m reply, after outlining the situa
tion in Spain, asks, “Do American
Protestants accept and endorse a gov
ernmental regime that is composed
predominantly of radical socialists,
Communists, Syndicalists and An
archists? Does American Protestant
ism champion a regime ’’at has con
sistently violated in theory and in
practice the fundamen principles
of liberty and democracy guaranteed
by the United States?”
The letter asserts that the conflict
in Spain is primarily'civic and sec
ondarily religious, that the people of
Spain were only exercising the right
of self-defensive and of self- preser
vation ip taking up arms against
forces which were seeking to crush
them, and that the inspiration of the
acts against which die people of
Spain revolted came from Soviet Rus
sia. The letter accuses the signers of
the original letter of misrepresenting
the position of the Spanish Bishops,
who gave their suppor' to the re
public, only to have those who finally
seized control of the government turn
on them and the Church for anti-re
ligious activities.
MSGR. READY, general secretary
of the National Catholic Welfare Con
ference also issued an answer to the
open letter of the 150 Protestants in
which he quoted the Spanish Bishops
as saying in their Pastoral Letters
“The Church has neither wished for
nor provoked it. . . Whoever accuses
her of having provoked the war or
of having conspired for it, or even
of not having done all that in her
power lay to avoid it, ignores or
falsifies the reality.”
(Special to The Bulletin)
ATLANTA, Ga. — Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene Bart renewed their marriage
vows they pledged fifty years ago at
the chapel of the Sacred Heart Con
vent at an impressive ceremony. The
Very Rev. J. T. Reilly, S. M., pastor
of Sacred Heart Church, celebrated
the Mass. Assisting at the Mass with
Mr. and Mrs. Bart were their son,
Joseph J. Bart, and his wife, and
their daughter, Sister Marie Therese,
a member of the faculty of Sacred
Heart School.
Mr. and Mrs. Bart came to this
country from France in 1861,, Mrs.
Bart, then Marie Rose Houe, arriv
ing in May of that year and settled
with her family in Atlanta. When
in November, Mr. Bart with his
father and mother came to Atlanta,
they were the guests for some time
of the Houe family. The friendship
then formed by Marie Houe and Eu
gene Bart developed into the ro
mance which culminated in their
marriage in 1887.
When Mr. and Mrs. Bart lived in
Augusta, Mr. Bart was a master me
chanic at the U. S. Arsenal. For
the past twelve years they have lived
in Atlanta, where they have made
many friends.
Among the messages of congratula
tion that arrived during the day was
a letter from His Excellency, Gerald
P. O’Hara, D. D.. Bishop of Savan-
nah-Atlanta, bestowing upon them a
special blessing for the occasion.
A VINCENTIAN FATHER, the
Very Rev. Charles A. Gounot, C. M.,
superior of the Grand Seminary at
Montauban, France, has been named
Archbishop Coadjutor of Carthage
with the right of succession.
