PenalisingCatholicsintheSix-CountyState

"OutsidethePalloftheLaw"

ThethreattotheCatholicSchoolsintheSixCountiestookdefiniteform lastmonth,whenLordCraigavonmov-edthefirstreadingoftheAmending BilltotheEducationActof1923.

BeforetheintroductionoftheBill,aninfluentialdeputation,including theBishopofDerryandMr.JosephDevlin,M.P.,interviewedLordCherie- monkMinisterofEducation,whosereplywasunsatisfactory.

CardinalMacRory,inaspecialinter- viewgiventoarepresentativeofthe Dublin"Standard,"madethefollow- bigstatementconcerningtheBill:

"Themeasureisutterlyunsatisfactorytous.Ithasbeenintroducedin ordertosatisfytheProtestantconscience,butitmakesnoattemptwhat- ver'tosatisfytheCatholicconscience. willprobablyleadtothetransferenceofmostofthenon-Catholic schools,whichwillthenbekeptupat theexpenseofthetaxpayer;thatis, attheexpenseofeveryCatholic,no lessthan,ofProtestants.

"Theessenceofthegrievanceisthis: TheActof1923virtuallysecularised theschools.Now,theProtestantconsciencedidnotacceptthatposition. Neither,ofcourse,didtheCatholic conscience.BothProtestantsandCa- tholicshaveclearlyexpressedtheirdis- satisfaction.Butwhilethepresent BillisframedtosatisfytheProtest ants'demands,itutterlyignoresours. UndertheBillthefeaturesoftheedu- cationalsystemsetupin1923thatare objectionabletoCatholicsremainwhol- lyunamended.

"Moreover,newobjectionablefeeturesareintroduced.Forinstance, whereasSection16oftheoriginalAct requiresonlyaCommittee'approved bytheMinister,'thenewbilldemands a'Four-and-Two'Committee.Italso demandsthatwhereanycontributiontowardstheprovisionorequipmentof anewvoluntaryschoolismadethe schoolpremisesshallbevestedintrus- teesapprovedofbytheMinistry,and thesetrusteesaret6havethenomina- tionofthetrustees'representativeson theschoolcommittee.

"Onemaytrulysay,thereforethat anychangesaffectingCatholicsthat havebeenproposedintheAmending Billarechangesfortheworse.Itis deplorablethatthemeasuremakesno attempttomeetourconscientiousde- mandsandfears.Ineedhardlysay thatthecontrastbetweentheprovi- sionsmadefortheProtestantandthe Catholicconscienceislikelytodeepen ourpeople'ssenseoftheinjusticethey areforcedtoendure.

"Isittoomuch,"theCardinalasks inconclusion,'tohopethat,inthein- terestofjustice,peace,andcharity, evennow,attheeleventhhour,the Catholicconsciencewillbetakeninto account?"

OutsidethePaleoftheLaw.

SpeakingataConfirmationceremony inSt.Paul's,Belfast,MostRev.Dr. Mageean,BishopofDownandConnor,referredtothenewNorthernEdu- cationBill,anddeclaredthatatpre- sentCatholics,judgingbythelegisla- tionthatwasbeingpassedagainst them,seemedtobeoutsidethepaleof thelaw.Inacountryunderafair Governmentallsectionsofthe'corn- inunityshouldbetreatedequally.

Whatdidtheyfind?Catholicswho wereaverylargesectionofthecommunity,tookuponthemselvescommon charges.Theypaidtheirfairshareof theratesandtaxes,andyet,when thelawswersbeingmadeforthegood ofthecommunity,itseemedtobethe desireofthelegislatorstoruleCatho- licsoutofthebenefits.Iftheypaid theirfairshareoftheratesandtaxes, andiftheirschoolsattainedthesame standardofefficiencyastheothers, (whichheclaimedtheydid,thenwhy shouldtheynotreceivethesame grantsastheirneighbours?

Justicedemandedit,yettheyfound alawintroducedgivingtothetrans- (erredandprovidedschoolsfullgrants fortheerecting,extending,andequip- pingoftheschools,andtheCatholic schoolswereexcludedfromthese grants.

Theycouldnottransfertheirschools, andcouldnotacceptsimpleBibleteaching,whichwasbasedonthefundamentalprinciplesofProtestantism

The1923Actsecularisedtheschools, andtherecentBillwentfurtherand aimedatmakingtheirschoolsProtestantbygivingthefullgranttothe schoolsinwhichreligioustrainingwas basedonthefundamentalprinciplesof Protestantism.

WhyshouldCatholicsnotgetthe samegrants?UndertheoldlawCa- tholicsandProtestantswereonequal footing,butnow,evenifCatholicsac- ceptedthe"FourandTwo"CommitteesProtestantswouldbefarabove them.

TheStatehaditsrightsineducation, andhewouldbethelasttodispute them,butithadnorighttointerfere inthereligiousteachingofthechil- dren.

"IfProtestantschoolsinaCatholic countrywereplacedinaninferiorposi- tiontherewouldbeloudoutcriesfrom Protestantcontroversialists,andIfail toseehowtheprinciplesofreligious libertycanjustifyusinputtingRoman Catholicschoolsinthiscountryinan inferiorpositiontoothers. Allcitizens,whethermembersoftheChurch ofEnglandorRomanCatholicorNonconformists,equallypayratesand taxes,andtheyshouldshareequally inthemasregardstheeducationof theirchildren.

"'Aone-sidedreliigouseducationis unfair.Asecularsystemofeduca- tionwillbedisastroustoanycountr4y thatadoptsit,andtheonlyfairbasis fortheorganisationofeducationisthat childrenshallbetaught,sofaraspos- sible,inaccordancewiththereligious beliefsoftheirparents.IfaGovern- mentwouldhavethecouragetomake thisthefundamentalbasisoftheiredu- cationalsystem,therewouldultimately comepeaceandunityintothetrou- bledworldofeducation.'"
