An Answer To Charges From Harper Editor Letter
A long reader letter from Harper reflects reluctance to disturb peace in the community and defends Catholic and Protestant relations. It cites a 1917 Harper Herald piece urging unity for freedom and welfare, warns against religious factionalism, and calls for truth and charity in public discourse.
Catholic Church Lobbying Debate Cited in Herald Reply
An editor's reply argues space limits hinder full response but defends the Catholic Church’s role in influencing legislation as a duty to protect moral law and welfare. It notes Protestant groups already maintain lobbying offices in Washington and questions the claim that Catholics are uniquely powerful.
