"Your argument would make it appear so. While there may have been a time when the Catholic Church opposed scientific discoveries it is now highly in favor of education."
"Mr. Agnew, what system of education does the Catholic Church favor?"
"We support the public school."
"I know you do in this country; you are taxed to support it."
"I believe in the public school system. I educated my children in the public schools, and two of my daughters are teachers in the public schools."
"I do not doubt that you do believe in the value of the public schools, and undoubtedly there are many other Catholics who think as you do, but what system of education does your church as a church encourage?"
"The Catholic Church favors parochial schools."
"Then if the Catholic Church could control America we would have parochial schools as the only means of promoting general education."
"I don't think so—in America. I think the church would continue the public school here if she had the power to dictate the system of education in this country."
"Would I be warranted in assuming that what the leaders of your church say is the policy of the church?"
