...demands segregation," says New Orleans' Mrs. B. J. Gaillot Jr., president of segregationist Save Our Nation Inc. She is a Roman Catholic, and when Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummel, 85, ordered full desegregation of New Orleans parochial schools for next fall, Mrs. Gaillot responded with picketing and loud protest. She was not alone. Leander Perez, influential political boss of Plaquemines Parish and also a Catholic, suggested reprisals against the clergy: "Cut off their water. Quit giving them money to feed their fat bellies." And State Representative Rodney Buras of New Orleans proclaimed that he would fight Arch, bishop Rummel...
Last week the archbishop answered some of his loudest parishioners with firm letters of "paternal admonition." The letter to Mrs. Gaillot, mother of two children in Catholic schools, was a "fatherly warning'' of automatic excommunication if she continued promoting "flagrant disobedience to the decision to open our schools to ALL."

...Europeans of Algeria last week were neither soothed by words nor pacified by bullets. From every quarter came appeals to reason.

Last week the archdiocese announced that "all Catholic children" may now apply to all Catholic schools. Cried Political Boss Leander Perez, a segregationist and Roman Catholic: "What can the people do? They can stop putting their money in the collection plate and feeding those bishops and priests who are destroying our children...
...John Knox, the great Scottish reformer, made him an architect of the Kirk's bulwark against the papacy. In 1647, Scottish delegates to the Westminster Assembly wed their church to a Confession of Faith that described the Pope as "AntiChrist, man of sin, son of perdition." The Archbishop of Canterbury's 1960 visit to Pope John tested the ground for all Protestantism, and last May a resolution was put before the Kirk's General Assembly that the Moderator-"when in Rome"-should call on the Pope...
