"RidingForaFall"

PoliticalBigotry,HypocrisyandCant.

AUnitarianministerandreligious editor,inthecourseofameetingat theUniversityofVirginia(U.S.A.)in foundedbyJefferson,championofreligiousliberty,challengedthefitnessof aCatholictobePresidentoftheUnitedStates.

Hehadnosoonersatdownthanhalf adozenprominentpersonspresent wereclamouring,someindignantly,to answerhim.Thechairmanwasforced toconfinetheircommentstothree minuteseach.Ingeneral,theycondemnedtheassertionsmadeandthe raisingofthesubjectatall,andone roundlyattackedthe"politicalparsons,"who,hesaid,arebreeding"politicalbigotry,hypocrisyandcant"in thecountry.

TheRev.Dr.AlbertC.Dieffenbach, ofBoston,Unitarianleaderandeditorof"TheChristianRegister,"isthe manwhoprecipitatedthediscussion. Helaunchedoutuponanattack againsttheCatholicChurchandthe fitnessofaCatholictobecomePresident,mentioningdefinitelyGovernor Smith.ofNewYork,whoisaCatholic. Hesaidthathedidnotquestionthe honestyorabilityofGovernorSmith, butopposedhimbecauseofhisCatholicity,declaringmanypersonsaredisturbed"notsomuchwithMr.Smith, aswiththeHierarchyofwhichheisa member."

Ingeneral,hisargumentwasarepetitionandextensionofthatmadeby CharlesC.Marshalllastwinter,which GovernorSmithanswered.Hesaid theCatholicChurchis"monarchic"in thereligousfield,andattemptedto showthataCatholicmust,asaresult, be"monarchic"inthepoliticalfield. HealsosaidmanyAmericansbelieve that"theRomanCatholicsystem wouldprohibitthefreeexerciseofreligionbyotherfaithsthanitsown."

TherewasapplauseastheRev.Mr. Dieffenbachconcludedhisremarks.It stoppedinstantly,however,whenDr. JohnH.Latane,ofJohnHopkinsUniversity,roseimmediatelytomakea reply.Othersalsosprangtotheir feet,sothatthetimehadtobedivided amongthem.

"Ineverexpectedtoseetheday comewhenitwouldbenecessaryfor anybodytorise.inoneofthehallsof thisinstitution,overwhichthespirit ofJeffersonstillpresides,tosayaword inbehalfofreligioustolerance,"Dr. Latanedeclared.

"AndreSiegfried,thegreatestcommentatoronAmericaninstitutions sinceDeToquevilleandBryce,says thattheUnitedStatesto-dayisthe mostpriest-riddencountryinthe world,andhereferstovariousparsons ofdifferentsects.
