Presbyterian Minister Accuses
Catholics of Stealing St. Patrick
Err LOUIS CASSELS
Washington-OA-A Presby
terian minister accused Cath
olics t'oday of stealing St. Pat
rick from the Protestants.
" 'T is an outrageous falsifi
cation," replied a Catholic
priest whose ancestors hailed
from County Roscommon.
The larceny charge was
made by the Rev. Frank A.
Lawront.-e, pastor of Gray
stone United Presbyterian
church, Indiana, Pa. He's a
courageous fellow who loves
Irishmen, Catholics and good
'noisy rorvs.
In an article for Presbyte
rian Lil'e magazine entitled
"Patrick: Stolen Saint," Law
rence asserted that the Irish
saint, whose memory is being
celebratcid today by wearers
of the green, "is firmly link
ed with the Protestant church
of Ireland, not with the Ro
man Catholic church."
Kissed Blarney Stone
This was too much for ra
ther John E. Kelly, informa
tion direct or of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference
and a loyal grandson of the
Ould Sod.
"It is evident," said Father
Kelly, "thjit Mr. Lawrence
has made a t least one trip to
Ireland-to kiss the Blarney
Stone."
. Lawrence, whose ancestors
came from Germany, explain
ed that he h;ls been brooding
over the "theft" of St. Patrick
since he studied church his
tory years ago at the semin
ary. His study, be said, convinc
ed him that St. Patrick's spir
itual kinship is with Protes-

tantism rather than Roman
Catholicism.
"In the Fifth Century, A.D.
-when Patrick preached in
Ireland-Rome and the Pope
did not hold the position they
achieved in later eras," Law
rence said. "It was not until
alter the Norman Conquest in
1066 that the church in Rome
was able to make its influence
felt in Ireland.
"Patrick preached a simple
message of salvation by faith
in Jesus Christ. Unlike those
in the Roman church, he be
lieved in the Bible as the su
preme authority in matters of
faith." In the Irish church of
Patrick's day, there was no
mass, no invocation of Mary
or of the saints, and priests
were allowed to marry. Never
once did Patrick mention the
Pope or Rome in his writ
ings." Lawrence said further evi
dence is the fact that St. Pat
rick s reputed grave is at the
Cathedral of Down in North
ern Ireland, a part of the
church of Ireland which, in
turn, is a branch of the An
glican communion.
Father Kelly suggested that
St. Patrick doubtless would
turn in his grave at the very
idea of being called a Protes
tant. "St. Patrick lived nearly a
thousand years before anyone
ever heard the word Protes
tant," he said. "He was Cath
olic through and through."
This is the second St. Pat
rick donnybrook touched off
by Lawrence. Last year, he
suggested to his predominant
ly Scottish Presbyterian con
gregation that they -rename
their church "St. Patrick's."
"That shook the pillars of
the church," he recalled fondly.

Over-Population
Claimed Threat To
National Survival
New York-Science Service)
Only if the American peo
ple understand the nature of
over-population can this threat
to the nation's survival be
eliminated, Dr. Chauncey D.
Leake, president-elect of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science, has
warned here.
He urged the nation's sci
entists and leaders to take
the people into their confi
dence on over-population and
give the public knowledge on
major social problems. Nine
other major problems listed
by Dr. Leake are:
Conservation Problem
1. Control of nuclear en
ergy; 2. Water and air pollution;
3. Conservation of our na
tural resources and preserva
tion of the inherent beauty
of the earth;
4. Removal of the continu
ing threat of authoritarianism;
5. Preservation of the dig
nity of individual human beings;
6. Promotion of individual
responsibility for self-suffic
ient old age;
7. Promotion of optimum
physical and mental health;
8. Preservation of our com
forts, conveniences and clean
liness, with equal opportuni
ties of all in decent living; and
9. Understanding and con
trolling our individual and
group prejudices, fears, anx
ieties and ambitions, so that
we can enjoy the good life
possible for us.
These problems, Dr. Leake
said, are amenable to to a
scientific approach. He sug
gested that they be handled
in this general way:
"Top priority should be giv
en to more support, sympathy,
appreciation, and better social
recogntion for basic scientific

"It is essential then to an
