SHEER, RANK INJUSTICE

Blackburn makes a mass protest
The burden of £50,000,000 imposed upon Catholics by the 1944 Education Act is " rank, sheer, outrageous injustice," said the Rev. J. Linehan, parish priest of St Mary's, Blackburn, at a mass meeting in St. Alban's Hall on Sunday afternoon.
The meeting followed exhortations on the subject in all the churches during Mass.
The State has no right to say and Catholics should resist it to the utmost-that " What is good enough for one is good enough for all," said Fr. Linehan.
" It is a persecution of the Catholic faith and an attempt to make Quislings of loyal Catholics.
We shall have no Quislings in Our Church."
He urged Catholics to go out into the streets, visit non-Catholics and press upon them the urgency and fairness of the Catholic claim. Sixty thousand signatures from Blackburn approving the claim, and similar numbers from all over the country, would carry weight with the authorities.
