...Program. Obviously enjoying the controversy he had provoked, Bishop Pike remarked blandly: "The asking of [my] question does not militate against any particular Roman Catholic candidate who, as an American citizen, and hence not subject to ecclesiastical force, can disavow the policy which the hierarchy of his church has proclaimed." At week's end, a spokesman for the aid-dispensing International Cooperation Administration said that not a penny of U.S. foreign aid had been spent to spread birth control information overseas, added that "no such action was contemplated." Hence, said he, the controversy was actually "very academic...
Torch for the Church. About the only countering voice still around comes not from moderates but from a brand of leftist nationalists who do not like the U.S., but will go along with the Reds only to a point. The top anti-Communist influences are labor leaders and the Roman Catholic Church.

But parochial schools get no direct tax support: the First Amendment, as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court, forbids it. Catholic parents (as well as Protestant and Jewish parents who send their children to church schools) are taxed for public schools, while their own schools grow short of money, teachers, classrooms. What should Americans...
...case, it cannot provide the collective training in supernatural awareness that Catholics and patrons of other church schools insist upon for their children. Not that the parochial school is an "all-week Sunday school." It covers the same academic ground as the public school, teaches religion formally for only brief periods (about 30 minutes daily in Catholic elementary schools). But the parochial school does exist primarily for one reason: "To develop the morally intelligent person." And so "the primacy of the spiritual" suffuses all subjects ("Faith is never departmental: all things fall within its purview"). "Christian or Christ-centered culture...
