Says Expert In Field PAMPHLETS AUTHOR KNOWS LITTLE ABOUT CANNON LAW A \2-page pamphlet entitled "Catholic or President” has been published and widely distributed by Harry F. Borleis of Baltimore, a partner in an electroplating firm. The pamphlet argues that canon law prevents Catholics from honestly taking the oath of office of President or Vice President of the United States. Mr. Borleis. who says he is a Lutheran, said the pamphlet has been sent to news media, Masonic lodges, persons and groups in states where primary elections have been scheduled, and will be given to delegates to presidential nominating conventions of both parties. Following is a comment on the pamphlet by Father John J. McGrath, assistant professor of Canon Law, the Catholic Univer sity of America. Washington, D. C. Father McGrath is also co ordinator of the university’s school of law and has been admitted to practice before the Allegheny, Pa., County Court, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and the Supreme Court of the United States. (By Father John J. McGrath) (Written for the N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) The pamphlet’s author ob viously knows very little about canon law, for his work is not only filled with errors, mistakes and misrepresentations, but it is a clumsy and bad law. For instance, canons 1572 to 1593 legislate the structure of Church courts on the diocesan level. One of this group, canon 1574, requires that judges of these ecclesiastical courts be priests who are learned in canon law. Mr. Borleis writes of this canon: “Canon 1574 decrees that a layman cannot be a judge in court. In the United States, all judges must be laymen.”- Now why did Mr. Borleis put these two sentences together? Did he really believe the canon was giving the requirements for judges in the courts of our country? If Mr. Borleis, who said he studied canon law for a long time before writing his pam phlet, was knowledgable in Church law, why didn’t he cite canon 139 which forbids priests to be judges in civil courts? Another illustration. Canon Law, like the laws of France, Germany, Switzerland and many other countries, is based upon Roman law. Roman law pro vides for trial by judges. Mr. Borleis writes: “Canon law ordains that all cases in court must be tried by a judge or several judges. In criminal cases, the Constitution of the United States guarantees to the accused the right of’ trial by jury.” This is another scrambling of the difference between Church and State. Again we wonder why Mr. Borleis put two such sentences together. Canon law says nothing about the trial of cases in American law. And, the U. S. Constitution, in its First Amendment, does not dictate how any church shall handle violations of its own laws. The First Amendment, guard ian of religious freedom, leaves every church free to judge its own law by any system of juris prudence it may choose. One should not mix up Church and State; it violates canon law and the Constitution of our country. An even more surprising thing happens to canon 16. This canon discusses in two paragraphs the effect of ignor- The result of extensive re search in the ready-mixed paint field — Precision One-Coat Outside Paint has been formulated to withstand the hazards of extreme climatic conditions.

CHAMBLEE, GEORGIA GLENDALE 7-2577 Bigotry Threatens Unity Of lation, Protestants Warn WASHINGTON (NC)—Thir teen Protestant church leaders have issued a statement declar ing that the introduction of anti- Catholicism into the 1960 presi dential campaign “can only lead to injurious dissent among our people.” The statement refers to no candidate by name. But Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachus etts, a Catholic, is a leading can didate for the Democracy presi dential nomination. The statement, issued here (May 2), declares that “some times openly, more often secret ly, one of the candidates has been attacked (and, by some, supported) merely because he is a Roman Catholic. “We find this profoundly dis turbing; and quite apart from what our attitude toward the Roman- Church may be, to clas sify any candidate for public office in this way threatens the mutual forbearance and the hard Woa tolerance upon which rests our democratic govern ment and the broad unity of oui people.” Declaring the bigotry will hurt both “Protestant and Cath olic alike,” the Protestant lead ers add: “Thus may the co hesion of our people be smashed into factions of hate, and old issues resurrected that have precious little to do with the worth of any candidate or his fitness for leadership.” Among those signing the statement are the Rev. Edwin T. Dahlberg, president of the National Council of Churches of Christ; Methodist Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam of Washington, D. C.; the Right Rev. Arthur Lichtenberger, Presiding Bish op of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the U.S.A.; the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, minister emeritus of the River side Church, New York; the Rev. Dr. John C. Bennett, dean of Union Theological Seminary, New York, and the Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, Stated Clerk of the United Presby terian Church in the U.S.A. Weekly Calendar Of Feast Days ance of law upon a person who breaks church law. Mr. Borleis writes: “Canon 16 states that the force of the canon law is absolute as to their legal effect.” Canon 16 says no such thing. It even admits that ignorance of the law is a possible defense. Now why did Mr. Borleis write that sentence? Did he e-den read the canon? A final example of the pam phlet’s approach is this: In 1928, the Sac-rod Congrega tion of the Holy Office, in Rome, stated that cases of marriage may not be brought into Church courts by non-Catholics. Since such persons are not members of the Church; the Catholic Church courts are not competent forums for their cases. This seems to make sense to all. But Mr. Borleis writes: “The Holy Office of the Cath olic Church declared, on Jan uary 27, 1928, that non-Cath olics, whether baptized or un baptized, are barred from at tacking their marriages and act ing as plaintiffs in their own matrimonial cases; they cannot sue for separation or annul ment.” What court is Mr. Borleis writing about? Does he really believe that non-Catholics would want to be plaintiffs in our ecclesiastical courts? But enough of this pamphlet. The examples cited above are enough for any man to know that there is nothing in the pamphlet worthy of the time it takes to read it. There is no conflict between canon law and American law. Every Catholic can take, with out reservation, a solemn oath to God to uphold the Constitu tion of the United States. His religion binds him in con science to keep that oath. (N.C.W.C.

Methodists Vote ' ] Down Catholic Resolution DENVER, Colo., (NC)—The general conference of the Meth odist Church has refused to go on record as being “uneasy” about a Catholic President. Delegates to the conference voted down by a show of hands a resolution expressing concern over the possibility that a Cath olic might be elected to the nation’s highest office. The resolution expressed'ap proval for a recent article in a national magazine in which two Protestant leaders listed reasons why some Protestants are “un easy” over a Catholic becoming President. The article was writ ten by Methodist Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam of Washington, D. C., and the Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, Stated Clerk of the United Presbyterian Church. Urging defeat of the resolu tion, the Rev. Alfred Brown of Fort Worth, Tex., commented: “We talk about separation of Church and State. I’m sure we don’t want the Methodist gen eral conference to interfere with who shall be a candidate for office.” Earlier, a “state of the church” message submitted to the meeting by the Methodist Council of Bishops—made up of 74 active and retired Metho dist bishops—declared that the Catholic Church has a right to its views on the immorality of artificial birth control. It added, however: “We must deny its right to make that posi tion a mandatory interpretation of Christian ethics or the ground for thwarting the major ity will toward a more enlight ened approach to an overwhelm^ ing challenge.” DR.
