‘Pope’s Secret’

delivered in WV

HATE LITERATURE denouncing the Roman
Catholic Church, which takes special aim at the
papacy, has surfaced in West Vancouver.

Pamphlets have been
randomly tossed into
backyards, onto driveways,
and placed on the wind-
Shields of some cars at the
Park Royal shopping centre.

One man, who requested
anonymity, told the North
Shore News he found the
pamphlet entitled ‘‘The
Pope’s Secrets’’ in_ his
backyard.

“‘It was carefully stapled
so whoever wanted to see
what it was, would have to
open it up,’’ said the man.
‘“‘I’m certainly not a
Cathohc, but this is what 1
would cal) hate literature |
found it terribly offensive "’

The literature was pro.
duced by an Arkansas group
called the Tony and Susan
Alamo Christian
Foundation In a telephone
conversation Monday, a
member of the Foundation
from Alma, Arkansas, who
tefused to be identified, said
the group 1s composed of
born again Christians, with
members throughout
Canada and the United
States

“Most people im the
Cathoble Church don't krow
about the  attowstres the

North

Vatican has committed over
the years. Some _ former
Jesuit priests helped us with
some of our research. It’s all
documented information,’’
he said. ‘‘The reason why
we're attacking the Catholic
Church is because they’ve
been attacking us for years
through areas like the labor
movement, the FBI and the
U.S. Department of
Labour."’

Father Patrick Tepoorten,
vice-chancellor for the
Vancouver diocese said the
literature has surfaced
dramatically throughout
Vancouver during the past
few months. He attributes
the distribution of the liter
ature to the Pope’s upcom
ing visit to Vancouver in
September

Tepoorten added = reports
of the hate hiterature have
occurred in eastern Canada,
as well

Father Craig Scott of
West Vancouver's Sto An
thony Parish said he has no
idea how the literature os
