Recently a Christian fundamentalist high school somewhere in the southern U.S. refused to play basketball in a league with a Catholic high school. The decision seemed to be based only on the fact that it was a Catholic school. What is the basis for this disapproval of the Catholic school by the Christian school? Don't they both believe in the same god, and (almost) the same bible? Bob Stekl ihnp4!iwlc3!rms

In a related topic, Senator Jesse Helms last week postponed the confirmation of somebody as our envoy (ambassador?) to the Vatican until people who had concerns about the separation of church and state being violated could be heard. I read that in last Saturday's Chicago Tribune (2/7/1984). In Sunday's Chicago Tribune (2/8/1984), I read that the same Jesse Helms is proposing legislation establishing a permanent prayer room at the White House. Something seems inconsistent here. Some bigshot in the Moral Majority said that that particular piece of legislation made him "nearly puke". Sorry I don't have his name or the name of the Vatican nominee, but at least you can look it up for yourself in the Tribune. Mark Kohls ihnp4!ihuxw!thor

It sounds like they shouldn't call there school a Christian School.
