July 1, 1958: A spokesman at the office of Catholic Archbishop Edwin V. Byrne said the office would "officially object" to placing of Protestant Bibles in public schools by the Gideon Society. The society offered to place the Bibles in classrooms here but the school policy committee of laymen has not given approval. The Bible offered is the New Testament, King James version. The objection is that since all faiths attend public schools, no one version of the Bible should be placed in the classrooms.Comments are Temporarily Down
