Thanks for your summary of the Protestant-Catholic debate [TIME, Sept. 12] . . . My reaction to the controversy is this: let both Protestants and Catholics see the beam in their own eye. Let both remember: "By their fruits shall ye know them." . . .
It seems to me that Protestant-Catholic "tension" exists mostly in the minds of the church leaders. An ex-Presbyterian, I married into a Catholic family who welcomed me with open arms, and have never high-pressured me to join their church . . .
Father Murray's haughty assertion that the Pope will never consent to sit as an equal among the equals at the World Council of Churches shows how far the Roman Catholic Church has deviated from both the spirit and teaching of Christ and the practice of the early church...
It is regrettable that Father Murray refuses to answer in a serious manner the expressed dangers to traditional American ideals posed by the Roman Catholic Church . . . Romanism at present is bearing the brunt of Communistic attacks against religion, and is needing the aid and sympathy of all Christian people.
The conclusion seems to be that though one may be saved which not a member of the Catholic Church he can do so only through the agency of the Church. Bernard Ballyn '46
