Students Protest
Teacher Dismissal
WASHINGTON (NC) — More
than 1,200 Georgetown Univer
sity students have signed a pe
tition asking the Jesuit* school
to reconsider its dismissal of
English professor Francis E.
Kearns.
Kearns was told last June that
his contract at Georgetown
would not be renewed. He has

said he believes his dismissal
stems from articles he publish
ed in Catholic magazines cri
ticizing Georgetown for its at
titudes on race relations and
academic freedom.
THE STUDENT petition said
the teacher's dismissal is
“bound to be widely interpret
ed as a punitive measure.”
The student council of
Georgetown College meanwhile
adopted a resolution urging the
administration to clear up its
stand on the issue.
Five students met with Father
Gerard J. Campbell, S.J., un
iversity president, to present
the petition. Thomas Anselmi,
senior, said after the meeting
that Father Campbell stated that
faculty and administration re
ports on Kearns* case are con
fidential.
Kearns has asked the Ameri
can Association of University
Professors to investigate what
he called the “questionable cir
cumstances” surrounding his
dismissal.
“FOR long years, dear
sons,” the Pope told the priests
in English, “you ha ve been pre
paring yourselves for the min
istry of the Word, and today
you are truly stewards of the
Gospel. The medem world hurls
its challenge at you, and to it
you mi st proclaim the Gospel,
the word of Christ. Give your
selves to your priesthood com
pletely because you have within
yourselves the power to sanc
tify all things ...We congratu
late you and we welcome you
into this mo at glorious and
grand ministry.”
To the parents he said: “You
have given your sons to the
Church, and for all time you
Will share in their work. Pray
that they may reap a rich har
vest for the Church and that
their example may attact men
of all nations to the way of
our Lord. In this you will find
you' happiness and your con
solation. We know what sacri
fices you have made for this
day, and we thank you from our
heart for the gift you have giv
en us.”
Inquiring about the home town
of each new priest, the Pope
gave them, their families and
diocese a special congratulation
and blessing.

BALTIMORE (RNS) — A suit
to end real estate tax exemp
tion for churches and sy
nagogues — started by Mrs.
Madalyn E, Murray of Balti
more, a professed atheist —
was dismissed by Circuit Court
Judge Wilson K. Barnes here.
He said he would file an op
inion explaining his reasons at
a later date. The suit was
dismissed "with prejudice,” or
closed at the circuit court level.
Plaintiffs, however, have 30
days to file an appeal in the
Maryland Court of Appeals,
MRS, Murray initiated the
case on the grounds that re
ligious tax exemption constitut
ed public aid to churches and
synagogues in violation of fe
deral and state constitutions.

VATICAN CITY (NC)--Pope
Paul Vi’s 1964 Christmas mes
sage to the world warns against
excessive nationalism, racism,
and militarism as obstacles to
obtaining the great reality of
braotherhood to all mankind.
In his December 22ndbraod-
cast over Vatican radio, the
Pope said his recent trip to
India confirmed “what Chris
tianity has been sahing for cen
turies ...all men are brothers’*.
To foster brotherhood the
Pope urged promotion of pru
dence by magnanimous disar
mament and at the same time,
a drive to overcome the world’s
hunger, misery, sickness and
ignorance. Moreover he calls
for respect for the beliefs of
others and the true freedom
of the exercise of the religion
of one's choice.
The Pope began by extending
Christmas wishes to all the
faithful and then also "to all
men of all ages, of all coun
tries, and of all beliefs...this
year the message we address to
all hearers is one of brother-
She also launched the Mary
land case which resulted in the
1963 Supreme Court decision
against prayer and Bible read
ing in public schools.
In the tax exemption case, she
was joined by her mother, Mrs.
Leddie Mays, the Freethought
Society and Lemoin Cree, a tax
payer, Defendants were the City
of Baltimore and the State of
Maryland, but several religious
groups intervened in their sup
port.
THESE included the Balti
more Roman Catholic archdio
cese, the Protestant Episcopal
Maryland Diocese, the Lutheran
Church in America's Maryland
synod and Temple Emmanuel,
Judge Barnes also said that
the plaintiffs had “sufficient
stature to maintain the. suit”
and to raise the constitutional
question of church - state
separation before the court.
This ruling voided the con
tention by defendants that plain
tiffs had no legal standing to
initiate the litigation.
Acting as attorney for the
plaintiffs was Leonard J. Ker-
pelman, who served in the same
capacity in the prayer case.
hood, a brotherhood which is
more meaningful, is more ac-
c pted, more universal than
the type which now unites men.”
Among other obstacles to
brotherhood, the Pope listed
class barriers and the spirit
of division and strife which to
day are stamping our society
"with tragic and bitter marks
of division and hatried. Men
are not happy because they
do not live as brothers”.
The Pope noted that some may
ask “is not religion a motive
for the division among men?
And especially the Catholic re
ligion, so dogmatic, so demand
ing and so discrimating?”
His answer was "yes” but
he added: "it is not of its very
nature a devisive element — it
is not the nature of religion
to oppose itself to people. It
is in behalf of people, of their
fundamental aspiration to God
and their right to manifest this
externally in a worthy form of
worship” that religion works.
He added: It is for the Church
to express its sorrow when
these activities "impeded, hin
dered, forbidden, and even pu
nished by forces of public po
wer”.
As for racism, he declared it
"separates and opposes the dif
ferent branches constituting the
the great human family, re
sulting in pride, mistrust, ex-
clusiveism, discrimination and
sometimes even oppresslsm,
thus reuining the mutual respect
and due esteem which ought to
turn the diverse ethnical groups
into apeaceful concert of
brotherly people”.
