Ex-Priest Slattery Lecture At Tomlinson Hall
Rev. Joseph Slattery, once a priest, spoke to about 800 at Tomlinson hall on Thursday night explaining why he left the Catholic Church and what he saw in the priesthood. The audience was orderly and few Catholics attended, while patrolmen were unnecessary. He attacked the belief that a priest must intend salvation in baptism to prevent loss of the child. Catholic leadership criticized the city for permitting the lecture, and Bishop Chatard urged parishioners to ignore Slattery, saying the church endures assaults and one man cannot do it harm.
