Cardinal O’Connell has not remained indifferent to the statement of Professor Albert Einstein that he was “indifferent and cold” to the opinions the church leader expressed last Sunday on the New Unitary Field theory.
In a statement Cardinal O’Connell issued today he elaborated his views, charging that “behind the Einstein cloak lurks the spectre of atheism.” Einstein, he said, is not “a true scientist.” and added that since the delivery of his address on Sunday he had gathered new facts and is now convinced that Einstein’s theory is “false in its construction, plagiaristic in its main statement and atheistic in its tendencies.”
