Attorney D. J. Moran Speaks Hammond Lawyer Discusses the Democracy of the Catholic Church Before the Wednesday Night Club

Attorney D. J. Mora, in an able talk before the Wednesday Night club at the public library last evening, discussed the Catholic church as a democratic institution. His subject was a large one, and his excursions along different lines had to be rather brief. Having expounded that democratic doctrine in the Catholic church, that all souls are equal before God. he entered the material field and dealt with the hierarchy Itself, showing that its form of government was a democratic one. He dwelt at some length on the parochial school system as maintained In the Catholic church, upholding It and at the same arguing for the public school, that it Is the best possible system under the conditions and that religion must naturally be barred In the latter for the reason that Justice could not be done to all the denominations and sects were religion is permitted to enter the public schools. All Churches Democratic. When Mr. Moran had finished his discourse, the question was rn!sf n whether the Catholic church was more of a democratic institution than any other church. This brought the speaker to the point that he wanted to make, namely that the Catholic church is Just like any other ecclesiastical institution, democratic, that it stands for the Ideals 'of government like any other church and that it wants the present system of political government In the United States perpetuated. He tookoccasion to answer the attack that was made on Catholics some time ago when a certain minister in Ohio took occasion to warn President Roosevelt and the whole country to beware of ever placing a Catholic in an executive office for fear that a Catholic might usurp the power rested in him and exchange the United States constitution for a power of attorney from the pope. President Roosevelt at the time put a quietus on such bigotry Mrs. Charles Glasgow, Mrs. Lawrence Long and Mrs. Charles Luthman. At the close of the games the guests were served with a pleasing luncheon. CHANGE OF CHOIR PRACTICE. The regular Friday night choir practice of the St. Paul Episcopal church has been changed to Saturday at 7:15. All members please bear this In mind. VISIT RELATIVES HERE.
