to the result bill by calling all
catholic voters to reject
lawmakers who supported rectus result
bill
okay then pastoral letters were read in
masses
voicing opposition bishops threatened to
close
down catholic schools if the bill was
approved
so senator rector stood his ground and
dared the catholic church to shut down
their schools
knowing that this was only an eagle
threat since the catholic learning
institutions were its major source of
income
okay
[Music]
so after a month-long standoff a
compromise bill was filed so the car

religious reasons okay however the law
still requires the reading of the
unexpirated
versions of results novel so
okay so it also provided the funding of
