It Seems to Heywood Broun

Broun, Heywood | September 18, 1929 issue

Religious liberty in America is much more honored in oratory than in practice. With the school year starting it develops that once again the fight must be made against the introduction of religious instruction. Church manager devoted a recent sermon at St. Patrick's Cathedral to this subject. It would seem to an outsider as if the parochial school system should satisfy the Catholics, but probably the church grows anxious over the fact that a very sizable proportion of its parishioners send their children to the public schools.
