From Our Vaults 100 Years Ago: September 10, 1924
Extended church reopens
Bishop Charles Cox of the Transvaal vicariate presided over a sung Mass at the church of La Rochelle in Johannesburg, which had been closed for extension work for two months. It was the second time in six years that the church had to be extended under the leadership of parish priest Fr Peron. It can now hold almost 600 people, but was already overflowing at the reopening Mass.
Anti-Catholic laws remain
The British government has declared that it will not, in the present session, change any latent laws which could be invoked to discriminate against Catholics.
Editorial: Faith of Our Fathers
In his editorial, Mgr John Morris comments on a sermon delivered by a Dutch Reformed minister in Cape Town’s Groote Kerk which called on young sailors to go back to the “faith of their fathers”. There is “no sense or logic” if by that the dominee “means a return to that historic revolt against revealed Truth which today is represented by a bewildering confusion of religious thought”. Instead he ought to “carry these Dutch boys … back to the supreme authority of the Church of Christ which in spite of libel and slander and persecution survives all the crowded controversy of profane centuries”.
