Catholics Holding benes ui
Lectures For Informing
Public Of Church Program
Father Lawrence C. Newman,
pastor of St. John's Catholic
Church, has extended an invitation !
, to everyone in the community to
attend a series of informal dis
cussions on what Catholics believe
and why.
These talks are held In the rec
reation room of the Church each
Monday and Thursday evening at
7:45 p.m., and time is allowed af
ter each talk for questions by the
audience, either written or from
the floor. Some of the questions
asked and answered at the first
meeting Monday night were the
follqwing:
"Is it true the Catholic Church
chained the Bible in the 13th cen
tury?" "Why are there so few
Catholics in North Carolina?" Ex
plain -the quotation: "Many are
called but few are chosen." "In the
annullment of marriages, why does
it appear that only the wealthy are
granted this privilege such as the
O'Dwyers, and how is this han
dled?" "Is it true the Catholic
of Mr. and Mrs. Will Leatherwood.
Mr. and Mrs. Way Ratcliffe*1and
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Kuykendall
have purchased TV sets.
W. W. Jones'has painted his barn
roof red.
T. T. Muse, Jr., is now living in
Seattle, Wash. He is working as
Church discourages the reading p'
the Bible?"
Purpose of the discussion,- ex
plains Father Newman, is to ere
ate better understanding betweet
the people of our community. Hf
invites fair-minded people, "ir
the name of my parishioners tc
come and learn the truth from ar
authoritative Catholic course, t(
discover how totally false some o'
the common beliefs about Catholic
are, and to see for yourself thf
reason Catholics are so loyal anr
faithful to their Churdh and coun
try."
Father Newman intends to dis
prove such ignorant expressions a'
"Catholics adore Mary," "th<
Catholics worship statues,"
"priests can pray people out of
Hell," "the Catholic Church is try
ing to take over the U. S." or "e
Catholic is the same as a com
munist." v
In an open letter to the com
munity Father Newman empha
sizes that any person may fee'
free to visit his church at any
time either for devotions or pri
vately. The doors are always open,
and attendance at the current free
lectures places visitors under no
obligation.
