You Hear Strange Things
Not Ca '
Yes, you can hear some strange
things about Catholics.
You hear it said that Catholics
believe all non-Catholics are head
ed for Hell ... that they believe
non-Catholic marriages are invalid.
Some think Catholics believe the
Pope is God ... that he can do no
wrong... that they owe him civil
allegiance and that he should have
the political power to rule America.
It is &aid that Catholics want
religious freedom only for them
selves... that they oppose public
schools and separation of Church
and State as evils which should be
destroyed.
The claim is made that Catholics
pay the priest for forgiveness of
their sins ... that they must buy
their departed relatives and friends
; out of Purgatory ... that they adore
Rl statues ... are forbidden to read the
R 1 Bible... use medals, candles and
Ai holy water as sure-fire protection
il 1 against the loss of a job, lightning
igi or being hit by an automobile.
2 But what is worse, some say,
Ai Catholics corrupt the true teach
, ings of Jesus Christ with the ad-
Ai dition of pagan superstitions and
ilpractices that are nothing less than
A i the inventions of the devil.
