Religion: Mrs. Thomason's Position
Six followers of Boston's heretical Father Leonard Feeney, excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church for insisting that salvation is impossible for non-Catholics (TIME, March 2), were jailed in Chicago last week for disorderly conduct in front of Samuel Cardinal Stritch's office. They were promptly bailed out by one Mrs. Mary Thomason, Catholic but non-Feeneyite. "These boys are unwise in their approach," said Mrs. Thomason. "I should hate to feel that Senator Taft is not in heaven because he is not a Catholic. I know he is in heaven."
