Segregation Must Disappear,
Says Catholic Archbishop
NEW ORLEANS. La., — In a
letter read publically at services
in some area churches last
Sunday, Most Rev. Joseph F.
Rummell, D. D., Catholic Arch¬
bishop of New Orleans, called
for an end to segregation on
racial lines in Catholic worship
in the Archdiocese.
“The lines of segregation
must disappear in Our church¬
es,” the Archbishop said, “not
only physically but in the true
spirit of Christian brotherhood,
in the seating accommodations,
at the confessional, at the
communion rail and in general
in the reception of the sacre-
ments and sacrementals of the
Church.”
Archbishop Rummell urged
also “fair compensation” for
Negro workers and equal edu¬
cational opportunities for Ne¬
gro children.
The principles of Christian
charily and justice “should
prompt us to cooperate in
breaking down painful lines of
segregation in the ordinary re¬
lations of human life and in
the fileds of education, indus¬
try and opportunity,” he said.
