“Oh, dear,” she said upon
learning I represented a nation
al, Catholic news service. She
gave me an embarrassed, not
unfriendly smile.
Like the rest of the approx
imately 500 men and women at
tending the meeting sponsored
by POAIJ (Protestants and Oth
er Americans United for Sep
aration of Church and State),
she had listened in respectful
silence to a 45-minute attack on
the Catholic Church by Dr. Roy
L. Laurin, Baptist minister and
head of the Los Angeles POAU
chapter.
Tall, dignified, urbane, and
articulate, Dr. Laurin drew
gasps of surprise and alarm
from his attentive audience
v/ith references to “Romanism,”
“power conspiracy,” and “raids
on the public treasury.”
To the respectable looking
solid citizens who turned out to
hear him and to fill the collec
tion plates with generous con
tributions (a woman in front of
me rolled up two five-dollar.
bills as her offering), he appar
ently was persuasive. After the
meeting I heard one man mur
mur to another: “If a Catholic
gets in there (the presidency),
we’re sunk.”
When I asked Dr. Laurin af
ter the meeting if he would
clear up some misconceptions,
he gave me a stony look. “Ri
diculous!” he said. “I know
what I know. The question is
closed.” He turned away and
fiddled with his brief ease.
Two lighted candles flanked
the open Bible in the center of
the sanctuary of the modern
church. Above and behind the
sanctuary was an illuminated
stained glass window showing
Christ praying at Gethsemane.
From the pulpit came the
words of Dr. Laurin: “Religious
freedom is the greatest of all
freedoms. Deny this, and you
shackle the mind. When this
freedom is gone, every other
freedom goes.”
But this freedeom does not
belong to the Catholic Church,
Dr. Laurin went on to explain,
because the Church is really “a
power conspiracy operating be
hind the facade of a spiritual
faith to achieve certain political
aims.”
Dr. Laurin hastened to as
sure his listeners that he was
not referring to the pastor of the
parish church on the corner,
nor to the “Fine Roman Cath
olic family that lives next door
to you.”
His shafts were intended, he
said, for “the hierarchy,” which
hp described as “an intransig
ent, immobile, monolithic sys
tem that plunges forward
steadily.”
As Dr. Laurin’s address
plunged forward, however, it
became quite clear that it
would be down right foolhardy
to vote for any member of that
“fine family next door” even
for dogcatcher, since it would
simply advance the “power
conspiracy” of “Romanism,”
which already is making “im
mense raids on the public treas
ury.”
A Roman Catholic president,
according to Dr. Laurin, would
be “a threat and a peril to re
ligious freedom.”
He offered some questions
that “we have a right to ask
anyone who would be a candi
date under the banner of
Rome.” Some of the questions
were:
Would he give his first al-
legiate to Washington or to
Rome?
Would he be guided by Con
stitutional law or by canon law?
Would he be partial to the
Roman Catholic Church or be
impartial to all churches?
Would he exert his influence
to oppose union of church and
state or “would he follow the
Roman Catholic practice of
seeking the destruction of the
principles of separation of
church and state?”
At the same time, Dr. Laurin
also made it clear that a Cath
olic candidate could not possibly
pass the test of such questions.
He referred to U. S. Sen. John
Kennedy of Massachusetts, who
told Look magazine that he did
not favor sending an ambassa
dor to the Vatican, that he
stood for separation of church
and state, and that he did not
favor tax support for parochial
schools.
Admitting that these replies
seemed favorable to Protestants,
Dr. Laurin nevertheless warn
ed his audience: “It is not nec
essarily true that, what the Sen
ator says publicly, he means
privately.”
The speaker provided several
more examples of his unwill
ingness to allow the Church
credit for any good on any
score.
—Item: “If the Roman Cath
olic Church is opposed (to birth
control) on the basis of moral
and spiritual principles, that’s
one thing. But I have a sneak
ing suspicion that it is a device
foisted on the people by the
hierarchy to outnumber the rest
of us.”
—Item.: “The Knights of Col
umbus . . . spread their ads as
traps for the unwary and the
gullible . .
—Item: “The Roman Catho
lic Church uses immigration
quotas to admit larger numbers
of Catholics than Protestants to
the U. S.”
—Item: “Uncounted numbers
of Christophers infiltrate mass
media ... to lead men and wo
men toward the orbit of Rome.”
There were questions after
the lecture, with William A.
Cook, former superintendent of
North College Hill schools; to
answer them.
Among the written queries
sent' up to the platform there
were none asking for documen
tation of any of Dr. Lauren’s
charges.
Nobody asked him , why he
criticized the Catholic Church
for seeking converts while at
the same time he defended re
ligious liberty.
No one asked him if the Bap
tists, reputed to have the largest
birth rate of any religious group
in the U. S., were trying to
“outnumber the rest of us.”
No one seemed interested to
inquire where he learned of the
Church’s “policy” of seeking a
Vatican ambassador and of
“seeking the destruction of the
principle of separation of church
and state.” If anyone knew
these charges had been tho
roughly discredited after Paul
Blanshard had given them wide
currency a decade ago, he did
n’t bring it up at the meeting.
The only one of the 500 who
raised any question of disagree
ment was myself. Dr. Laurin
didn’t appreciate it.
As I left the auditorium, the
elderly woman smiled at me
and asked where she could get a
copy of the- paper carrying it.
Everyone else was busy, picking
up free “literature” on such top
ics as “The Rising Tempo of
Rome’s Demands,” “If the IJ. S.
Becomes 51 per cent Catholic,”
“Should Parochial Schools Be
Given Federal Aid?” and so on.
One POAU pamphlet asked,
“What’s the Biggest Issue?”
Then it suggested three issues:
integration, labor controls, and
communism. But the issue that
“tops them all,” it was indicat
ed, is “Should we give public
funds to the Roman Catholic
Church?”
