BY
E@$Priest, Bernard Fresenborg,
Aho for thirty long years tread the sli##ery and deceitful #ath
of abhorrent 5atholicis, but who to$day stands at the
BaticanCs door, with the torch of Protestant wisdo,
and denounces Po#ery with a tongue
li!id with the #ower of
a li!ing God"
%ike a *eteor Fro GodCs Throne,
This great book has stirred 'erica fro center to circuference"
'bout 3-- %arge Pages,
'nd each Page a stinging rebuke to (oan 5atholicis"
Published by

Entered according to act of 5ongress in the year 1D-3, by
;8(TH$'*E(I5'; B88< H8:6E,
In the 8Ece of the %ibrarian of 5ongress, Aashington, )"5"
TranscriberCs ;ote& ' nuber of ty#ogra#hical errors found in the
original te@t ha!e been corrected in this !ersion" ' list of these
errors is #ro!ided at the end of the book"
'uthorCs 'nnounceent"
' structure of enlightenent is to be built in this land, which to
Fnish, e!ery an of intellectual #ower ust contribute"
The structure which I refer to, is the structure of ?6PI(IT:'%
%IBE(TY,? as the s#iritual #art of an ust ha!e roo to e@#and and
grow the sae as any other God$gi!en #ri!ilege that an is blessed
with"
:nless we grow in faith we becoe dwarfs in the worshi# of God"
Those who go forth into the world and #rofess to be the teachers of
en should be giants of intellect and fully #re#ared to contribute to
this onuent of ?6PI(IT:'% %IBE(TY"?
These giants are the ?<;IGHT6 8F THE 6PI(IT,? who stand u#on the
suit of righteousness and #roclai an intelligent God to a sinful
world"
*any say they do not feel that they #ossess the ability to contribute
to this structure of ?6PI(IT:'% %IBE(TY,? but I say, none who #ossess
the #ower to reason are e@e#t, for if they cannot #lace in the arch
of this structure the golden ?key$stone? that shall securely bind
this structure together, they can carry ortar or stones, which is as
i#erati!e in this structure, as the #olished ?5a# stone? which shall
co#lete this great #yraid of eanci#ation"
I do not cra!e to ha!e y nae engra!en in bold letters u#on the ?5a#
stone? of this structure, but I do desire to contribute y ite
towards the co#letion of this grand structure of free thought,
which, when co#leted, will stand out u#on the horiGon of tie as a
towering onuent to 5hrist and his cause"
(oan 5atholicis, as taught by our odern #riests and ins#ired by
the #a#al #ower at (oe is naught but the distant rublings of an
antiHuated chariot of darkness, as the teachings of this *8;'(5HI5'%
creed has naught in !iew but the ensla!eent of reason for the
Fnancial gain and beneFt of the ?(obed? few who clai the right to
think for the asses"
For thirty long years I was bound to this bewitching s#irit of
darkness by the chords of su#erstition and ne!er dared to look abo!e
y blind su#eriors for wisdo, until a ?soething? which I will call
?fate? broke the windows of y ental dungeon and #eritted the
light
of ?6PI(IT:'% %IBE(TY? to Flter through y being which awoke ?reason
and coon sense? fro her long slee# of lethargy"
;ow, what I once thought ?Holy? I detest as aboinableI Ahat I once
worshi##ed, I now hate"
It is not the glitter of gold nor the a##laudits of the #rotestant
world that I cra!e, but it is the *asterCs a##ro!al that I desire"
Therefore I dee it y duty to both God and ankind to #roclai to
the world what I know of the awfulness of (oan 5atholicis, and I
know enough to ake y #oor soul often wonder if I shall e!er be
#eritted to sing with the blest around that G(E'T AHITE TH(8;E in
the ;ew 9erusale"
's you #eruse these #ages, I #ray that you ay whis#er a #rayer to
God in y behalf, as I a now Ffty$si@ years old and only a child in
wisdo"
Aith #ity for the blind hosts of 5atholicis and a #rayer u#on y
li#s for their deli!erance fro the trenches of #aganis, I dedicate
this book to the world as coing fro a heart which #oured out its
youthCs !itality u#on the barren Felds of su#erstition, and wasted
its !igor in ser!ing only the god of yths" Aith a feeling of
brotherly lo!e for the entire world, I a,

?The dawn of Protestantis u#on E@$Priest Fresenborg
after thirty years in the (oan 5atholic 5hurch"?4
5ha#ter I"
Aho I ', Ahat I ', and Ahy I ' Ahat I '"
*y #arents were 5atholics, and for this reason I su##ose, is why I
becae a 5atholic Priest"
I was born in Gerany, in 123K, thus you see I a now alost what
the
world would call an old an$$J. years old"
' few years ago, I was of the o#inion that y life had been well
s#ent, but to$day I Frly belie!e that the ajor #art of y life has
been s#ent in erroneous doctrines and nonsensical teachings, as the
broad light of wisdo and inde#endent thought has #enetrated the
dark
resources of y bewildered conce#tion of right, and has caused e to
look u#on things in general in an intelligent anner" Therefore, I
feel that y youth and the !igorous years of y anhood ha!e been
s#ent in what one ight ter idolatry"
Fro this tie forward I a going to endea!or to undo, as near as
#ossible, what I ha!e hel#ed to acco#lish in the #ast"
In the Frst #lace, I desire to gi!e the reader an idea of who I a,
as the reader is entitled to this knowledge, and in the second #lace
I want the reader to understand what I a, and in the third #lace to
understand why I a what I a, as there ust be a reason for all
things"
*y ancestors cae fro 6weden, but becoing tired of religions
warfare under Gusta!us 'dol#hus, <ing of 6weden, they settled in a
5atholic colony in Gerany, in the southern #art of the )ukedo of
8ldenburg, near the (i!er Haase"
The reader, if he be a Protestant, is failiar with Protestant
aEliations, and I a led to belie!e belongs to one of the any
Protestant denoinations, known under the head of *ethodist, Ba#tist,
5hristian, :nited Brethren, Presbyterian, Free Ba#tist, or soe one
of the any other Protestant 5hurches" Therefore you can easily see
why it was that I becae a 5atholic, as I was taught it fro y
infancy"
*y father, like his ancestors, li!ed in Essen, 8ldenburg" Essen is a
town of considerable trade in grain, in Fne 8ldenburg horses and
Holstein cows, in fact, it is a town noted for its Fne stock"
The beautiful town of Essen has a considerable #o#ulation" Two Fne
ri!ers, which unite their ra#id waters in its !ery idst, ake it an
ideal s#ot to li!e"
*y relati!es were aong the Frst and best failies of the )ukedo"
These failies were by nae )ickann, *eyer, 9unker and
*ohlenka#,
who are at the head of the intellectual and aterial o!eents of
that #lace" They are all related by arriage and interarriage to the
Fresenborgs" *y #arents had ten children" This, howe!er, ay not
interest the reader, so I will conFne yself to y own biogra#hy"
The school to which I was sent was one of the leading schools and had
a world$wide re#utation, es#ecially of sending any scholars and
students to the gynasiu and afterwards to uni!ersities for
di=erent branches of sciences"
It sees as though all of those who attended this school becae
successful in their indi!idual careers, as lawyers, doctors or soe
other of the chosen a!ocations of life"
I was raised, I ight say, under the walls of the free 5ity of
Breen, and was ins#ired with the idea of freedo, and this, #erha#s,
ay be the reason why, when I ha!e coe to be an old an, that I
ha!e
shaken o= this eternal bondage of 5atholicis and launched y boat
so late in life u#on the broad waters of Protestant freedo"
's the son of a wealthy faily, I was sent to the Gynasiu of Bechta
for higher studies, where I recei!ed the best education which Gerany
could gi!e to her sons, and fro there I was disissed with the
di#loa of ?*aturity? in 12K-, which was a #ass#ort to any an
holding such a di#loa in any scholarly counity, for a di#loa fro
this institution eant all that it i#lied"
'fter I had gone through a #erfect study of Gynasiu, and after
ha!ing obtained y di#loa, I could then decide for any career that
I ight choose"
'bout this tie cae the disturbance of all of Gerany caused by ?The
Geran$French Aar"? %ike e!ery #atriot, I !olunteered as a soldier,
but the oEcers in the Geran ary were #ractical en and they had
little use for unseasoned ?student soldiers? in the Feld of action,
and I was left in garrisons where uni!ersities were situated, where I
had ilitary #ractice for a few hours each day, and then could follow
y studies at the sae tie"
Peace followed Huickly after the Aaterloo of ;a#oleon III at 6edan,
and this #eace was restored Huickly in the ?fatherland,? as not one
!ictorious Frenchan had crossed the ?(hine"?
I followed y fa!orite study, forestry and agriculture, for soe
tie, but as y #arents and y forefathers, both on y fatherCs and
otherCs side, had been de!out 5atholics, I had an earnest longing to
becoe a 5atholic Priest, as I desired to go forth in the world and
#roclai the cause of 5hrist, belie!ing that 5atholicis was the
only church which had a right to establish her doctrines, and, of
course, cast y lot with this church, and to$day Fnds e an old an
with e!ery !estige of childhoodCs faith shaken fro center to
circuference, as I ha!e li!ed in 'erica so long and seen so uch of
the intelligence of Protestantis, and so uch of the dece#tion of
5atholicis, I could not reain in the 5atholic 5hurch and be true to
y conce#tion of what was right and wrong, therefore I laid aside,
with a degree of regret, the relics of 5atholic barbaris"
I discarded the 6ca#ular and e!erything that has no ore intelligent
eaning to it than the cungering de!ices of the heathen has towards
the u#lifting of huanity and the ci!iliGation of the world"
*any, any years ago y faith was shaken by what I had seen with
y
own eyes and heard with y own ears, but I nursed y religious belief
fro y otherCs bosoI y religion was born and bred in y bonesI
e!ery dro# of blood in y #erson was electriFed in childhood by the
cungerings of 5atholic legerdeain, and I was taught at y otherCs
knee to belie!e that there was no other church that had a ghost of a
chance of eternal sal!ation but the 5atholic 5hurch, and I was taught
that all Protestants were heretics and aboinable in the sight of God
and sure of eternal danation, unless they turned fro their sins and
joined the 5atholic 5hurch"
8ftties I would ha!e y faith shaken by the actions of soe lustful
#riest, but I clung tenaciously to the religion of y other and
refused to look beyond the horiGon of 5atholic su#erstition"
'bout the tie that I had fully ade u# y ind to becoe a #riest, I
had y faith shaken in the #riesthood to a great e@tent by a
scandalous ha##ening near the 5ollege of Bechta, which concerned
and
strictly in!ol!ed one of the great dignitaries of 5atholicis in y
college town, but I fought this feeling of dislike down and forced
yself to belie!e that what a #riest or bisho# did was all right in
the sight of God, but at the sae tie I had a feeling of distrust,
as I could not reconcile yself to belie!e that God would look with
co#assion u#on the acts of a dignitary ore readily than he would
u#on the transgressions of his blind and du#ed followers, but
ne!ertheless I went ahead and #re#ared yself for the #riesthood,
which I followed for thirty years"
(ight directly o##osite the college which I was attending resided the
Bery (e!" Harold" This re!erend gentlean was a high dignitary in the
5atholic 5hurch"
Ae young #riests had often heard it whis#ered about that Priest
Harold had in his house at di=erent ties a nuber of concubines,
which are nothing ore nor less than lude woen" Ae often saw ladies
around the ansion, dressed in the !ery height of fashion, and their
actions led us to belie!e that they were there at the solicitation of
(e!" Harold, as they were seen there at all ties of the day and
night, and this certainly ade a !ery strange i#ression u#on us
young students, as there were so any di=erent facesI one day we
would see two or three young girls, and the ne@t day the sae nuber
would be about the ansion, but di=erent faces" 'll of we young
students endea!ored not to belie!e the ruor, as we were 5atholics
in e!ery sense of the word, and we did not want to belie!e that
anything so degrading would be tolerated in the !ery ansion of one
of the oEcials who were teaching us"
The acts of this dignitary becae so Magrant that e!en the students
who were trying not to belie!e the scandal were forced to belie!e
there was soething wrong about the ansion of this 5atholic
dignitary"
'bout this tie there was a young #riest by the nae of Aulf, fro
(oe, who was sent to Bechta and ade secretary of this dignitaryCs
ansion, who, during the day, worked in the oEce of the ansion,
where court was held in cases of the 5atholic 5hurch and schools"
He was soon failiar in and about the ansion and the surrounding
grounds and was gi!en any #ri!ileges, and the dignitary seeed to
like hi because he did not eddle with his !ile conduct, and the
ladies who freHuented this #lace also seeed to adire hi" There
was
a large lawn surrounding the ansion and at night$tie a nuber of
!icious dogs were unchained to guard it"
The #riest that was sent fro (oe was soon on failiar ters with
the dogs and they would ind hi and becae as obedient as
children,
and he was soon on such good ters with these dogs that he could
a##roach the house at any tie, day or night, and one word fro hi
would cause the to sneak o= to their kennels and not olest any who
desired to a##roach the ansion"
The young #riests of this college were deterined to learn, if
#ossible, if this 5atholic dignitary was guilty of the ioral
conduct that he was accused of, so they went to Aulf and e@#lained to
hi that they desired to ake a #ersonal in!estigation, and got this
young #riest to #roise that he would let the into the grounds one
night and also see that the dogs did not olest the"
Ae selected a dark night and a few of us young #riests sli##ed into
the lawn surrounding the ansion and #laced a ladder u# to the
second
story window, as there was a bright light inside, and we deterined
to learn, if #ossible, what was going on in this roo"
)r" Aulf, the secretary, was the Frst to ascend, and there in this
roo was the dignitary of the 5atholic 5hurch in a half drunken
condition, with two licentious and lude woen, #laying cards and
drinking wine, and the trio were in a half nude condition, and
freHuently this dignitary of the 5atholic 5hurch would kiss these
harlots"
'fter )r" Aulf cae down the ladder and told what he had seen, of
course the rest of us wished to becoe eye witnesses to the #erFdy
of this !agabond of the 5atholic 5hurch"
Ae would take tie about going u# the ladder to look at this sight,
and soeties one would reain so long at the to# of the ladder the
others would becoe restless and urge hi to coe down and gi!e the
rest of us a chance"
It seeed as though this 5atholic dignitary and the woen u# stairs
within had i#licit conFdence in the dogs, and had no fear of
detection in their drunken orgy of iorality" This dignitary seeed
!ery drunk, and the ladies began to undress hi #re#aratory to
#utting hi to bed" Ahen they had hi undressed, one of the #ulled
o= her clothes and went to bed with hi"
The ne@t orning the re#ort in the for of aEda!its was #resented
to the #arents of the girls, which caused a !ery great sensation, and
this bundle of infay and aboination was forced to lea!e the city by
the #arents of these daughters who he had desecrated by his Flthy
touch"
It was afterwards learned that this state of a=airs had e@isted in
this 5atholic ansion for years #ast, and all that had trans#ired in
this ansion would blush the inhabitants of 6odo if it could be
told, but it is so Flthy that it could not be re#eated by any one
who had uch res#ect for hiself"
'fter this dignitary had left the ansion there were a nuber of
childrenCs skeletons unearthed in the #ark belonging to the ansion,
and one childCs skeleton was found in the waters surrounding the
#alace"
;o one was e!er arrested for this awful, awful crie, as this
5atholic dignitary Med to soe onastery and there was concealed
fro the lawCs clutch, as there is no law whereby these onasteries
can be forced o#en and their criinals brought to justice"
' onastery is a 5atholic institution that ay be used for di!ers
#ur#oses, but for one great #ur#ose, and a !ery heinous #ur#ose, is
to hide and conceal 5atholic oEcials who break the laws of their
country, as they can Mee to these onasteries and there hide
thesel!es fro the wrath of the ci!il go!ernent"
It akes no di=erence how !ile the cul#rits ay be, these 5atholic
institutions are always a refuge for the, and es#ecially if the
cul#rit who has oney or friends su##ly the with sae, as the
5atholic 5hurch is and always has been a great oney achine, as
oney, in the eyes of the 5atholic dignitaries, co!ers u# a ultitude
of sins"
You ay not know it, but it is a fact, ne!ertheless, that the
onasteries ne!er allow the oEcers of the ci!il laws to enter, and
su##ose the oEcers did enter, the cul#rit would ne!er be found, as
5atholic institutions are built with the #ur#ose of sheltering her
aboinable faithless in case these criinalsC desire to hide
thesel!es therein, as the con!ents, onasteries and cloisters ha!e a
labyrinth which would ystify any one who was not used to these
underground #assages"
;o one e!er learned where the dignitary of this 5atholic institution
at Bechta went, but we were thoroughly con!inced that he was hiding
soewhere in a onastery"
't this #oint in y religious training I #ercei!ed the nonsense of
celibacy, and the '#ostleCs injunction& ?;e!ertheless, to a!oid
fornication, let e!ery an ha!e his own wife, and let e!ery woan
ha!e her own husband"? OI 5or" K&+"P But the teachings of y
childhood caused e to belie!e that it would be sacrilegious u#on y
#art to e!en allow yself to belie!e that the Po#e of (oe could
#ossibly ake a istake, therefore I did as all true 5atholics are
e@#ected to do, and forced yself to belie!e that all of the
aboinations #racticed by this church were godly"
't this tie I would conceal yself in #ri!acy, and endea!or to
reason why a inister of the gos#el should be e@#ected to do things
which were unnatural and against the direct teachings of God, as we
Fnd in QGen" +1&12Q that our 5reator said& ?It is not good that an
should be alone, I will ake a hel#ate for hi,? but whene!er I
would undertake to study and try to con!ince yself of the
erroneousness of the 5atholic doctrines, her teachings would loo u#
and blind y intelligent conce#tion of things, as I had been taught
that I should not Huestion a single andate that the Po#e of (oe
should see Ft to #roulgate, therefore I ade u# y ind that it was
a sin for e to use the intelligence that God had gi!en e, and I
resol!ed to follow the 5atholic doctrine, regardless of what it ight
lead e to, conseHuently I closed y eyes to reason and coon
sense
and becae a blind and su#erstitious follower of (oe"
Ahen I cae to 'erica I beheld her great ci!iliGation and at once y
conce#tion of intelligent action #resented itself again, but I fought
hard to dri!e these feelings fro y boso, but the ore I fought the
stronger I becae con!inced that I was wrong and that y early
training was wrong, and that the entire achinery and echanis of
the 5atholic 5hurch was founded u#on aboinations and su#erstitions,
but the teachings of y other would #re!ail and I would slink back
into the trenches of 5atholicis, and there I reained until less
than a year ago, when I resol!ed to burst the bands of iniHuity and
walk out u#on the #lains of Protestantis, regardless of the dee#
feelings of res#ect that I had for y early training"
If God is an intelligent God, then we are e@#ected to worshi# Hi in
an intelligent anner, and if he is not an intelligent God, it is
i#ossible for Hi to be a God, and if the %ord of Hosts is an
intelligent 5reator and e@#ects us, as His children, to worshi# Hi
in an intelligent anner, the 5atholic 5hurch and all of her
followers are sinning against God e!ery day, as her ode of worshi#
is stee#ed in the drugs of heathenish su#erstitions"
In this !olue I #ro#ose to set forth nothing but absolute truths,
and I call u#on an intelligent God for y witness, and I a HualiFed
to ake oath before any oEcial that is HualiFed to bind e under
oath that e!ery word that a##ears in this !olue shall be the truth
and nothing but the truth, so hel# e God"
I will gi!e RJ,---"-- to any charitable institution naed by any
state of the :nited 6tates if any 5atholic #riest, bisho# or cardinal
will #ro!e by any of their church doctrines that I ha!e isstated or
isre#resented the teachings of 5atholicis in any letter, word or
sentence"
I want to thoroughly i#ress the reader with the truthfulness of this
!olue, so when he or she has #erused these #ages they ay know
that
it has been written by one who has ser!ed in the ca#acity of a

6oe of the 'boinations of 5atholicis 5arried 8n in the ;ae of
Blessed 6a!iour"
Ahat I will now relate is not hear$say nor soething that I ha!e read
about, but it is soething that QI know aboutQ, and which I
witnessed"
It is a well$known fact that 5atholicis endea!ors to i#ress her
subjects with the iraculousness of latter day iracles, as she will
hold u# the bones of soe su##osed 5atholic 6aint, and declare to her
benighted followers that if they worshi# these relics, they will work
wonders and cure the ailent of any aTiction they ay be #ossessed
of"
For instance, they will take the bone of soe 5atholic 6aint ONP and
adonish the followers of 5atholicis to touch this bone, or to kiss
it, and declare to the that by so doing they will becoe entirely
cured of any alady that ay rack their #erson with isery"
In fact, 5atholicis will resort to all kinds of nonsensical
#ractices in order to co#letely kee# their subjects in darkest
ignorance, which will enable the oEcials to ?hoodwink? their
followers and ake the belie!e anything the oEcials see Ft to
teach the"
I will now relate what I saw in *unster, Gerany" The news s#read all
through Gerany that the ?*other 6u#erior? of the house of 6aint
5leent was li!ing u#on ?Holy 5ounion? only"
;ow that the reader ay understand what ?Holy 5ounion? is, I will
here state that it is a thin wafer, used for sacraental #ur#oses,
which would not weigh ore than the one$hundredth #art of an ounce,
and this is what they claied the *other 6u#erior of the house of
6aint 5leent was e@isting u#on, she only taking one of these wafers
e!ery twenty$four hours"
8f course, this was gi!en out by the dignitaries of the 5atholic
5hurch in order to blind their followers, and I desire to state
right here that I also belie!ed that this was the fact until it was
deonstrated thoroughly that it was an infaous lie and that the
instigators were infaous i#ostors" Howe!er, #ilgriages started
fro all directions to see this ?*other 6u#erior,? and when they
could not see her, they fought for the o##ortunity of #raying in her
cha#el" 6oe stayed for weeks and weeks to see her" '##lications for
intercessions of all kinds of isery were sent to her, as these
si#le ?du#es? of 5atholicis actually belie!ed that this i#ostor
had the #ower to heal any ailent that ight aTict the"
There were thousands of fanatics who !isited *unster and hung their
crutches on the cha#el walls and declared they were cured of their
ailent" The blind claied to see by her intercessions" It was
claied that all, #ossessed of e!ery kind and descri#tion of
ailents, could be cured if the one who was aTicted only had faith
in this *other 6u#eriorCs wonderful #owerN
?The Fnger of God is in the landS? was the cry, and tens of
thousands of 5atholics fro all o!er the country gathered in *unster"
There was a certain an by the nae of Friedho= who doubted the
#roclaied #owers of this *other 6u#erior and boldly declared his
doubt, and the 5atholic world was indignant o!er the audacity of such
a doubt" It was learned that the *other 6u#erior would allow but one
sister of the institution to coe to her roo, and also her Father
5onfessor" By the way, it ight be #ertinent to say that the *other
6u#erior was an e@treely handsoe young ladyI in fact, !ery young
for the #osition she occu#ied"
The guard that was #laced o!er the *other 6u#erior was gi!en
instructions by the *ayor of *unster to watch her closely and see
that she li!ed entirely u#on ?Holy 5ounion"? The Protestant world
took an acti!e #art in this atter and ga!e close attention to the
guard that was o!er this ?*other 6u#erior,? as they were deterined
to learn fro whence originated this bold dece#tion, as they were
thoroughly con!inced that it was nothing ore nor less than a
dece#tion"
The confessor of the ?*other 6u#erior? was changed and the sister
who
waited u#on her was changed, and in a !ery short tie the ?*other
6u#erior? asked for foodI thus it began to dawn u#on the #ublic at
large that they had been grossly decei!ed, and they began to learn
that all of these iraculous cures ONP were brought about and
#roulgated by the leaders of 5atholicis" ;uerous #hysicians were
taken into conFdence and an e@aination was ade of the ?*other
6u#erior,? and it was learned that she was #regnant, and it was
#ro!en that the child belonged to the #riest in charge of the
con!ent, who, by the way, was the one this ?*other 6u#erior?
confessed her sins to"
This ?*other 6u#erior? sat in her roo and ga!e her orders to at
least two hundred sisters who were inates of this institution"
The 5atholic world ad!ertised this ?fake? so thoroughly that e!ery
house in and about *unster was Flled to o!erMowing with #ilgris
who cae there on the strength of this well$ad!ertised ?fake"?
*unster was the *ecca" E!ery train arri!ing brought in hundreds and
added great ultitudes to the already great crowd" 6oe claied that
the sight of the cha#el, or e!en the sight of the hos#ital, healed
the"
E!en the news#a#ers began to re#ort the wonderful iracles ONP that
were #erfored by this ?*other 6u#erior"?
By this tie the Protestants in *unster were getting !ery acti!e and
denounced this worshi# in round ters, and set about to ha!e an
in!estigation ade, which was bitterly o##osed by the 5atholics" The
hotel kee#ers and sho# kee#ers of *unster were bitterly o##osed to
the ProtestantsC denunciation, as they were an@ious for this ?fake?
to be ad!ertised as thoroughly as #ossible, as it was bringing the
in large re!enues, as the thousands who were !isiting *unster were
co#elled to ha!e raient, food and lodgingI but the denunciation of
this ?fake? by the Protestants becae so great that the bisho# was
co#elled, greatly against the wishes of the citiGens of *unster, to
in!estigate, and this in!estigation brought forth enough to startle
the ci!iliGed world" Howe!er, it is only one of the any, any
colossal ?fakes? that are #roulgated by 5atholicis" Howe!er, the
claor of the Protestant world brought things to a crisis, as the
?*other 6u#erior? was ordered to stay in strict conFneent and a
watch was #laced o!er her"
This brought atters to a clia@ and the ?*other 6u#erior? confessed
that one of the inates of the con!ent had secretly carried her food
during all of this tie that she was claiing to e@ist on ?Holy
5ounion"? 8f course, this is only one of the tens of thousands of
such schees that are #racticed by 5atholicis all o!er the world,
and the Protestants were not sur#rised and stated boldly and abo!e
board that they knew there was soe ?scull$duggery? attached to all
of this ?fake? iracle business"
This ?*other 6u#erior? Med fro *unster, and it was learned that she
went to the 5ity (heine, on the ri!er Es, and ga!e birth to a child,
and the father of this child was the 5atholic #riest in charge of
this con!ent, who hel#ed and was the #rie instigator in gi!ing out
to the world that the ?*other 6u#erior? was #erforing iracles,
which was a alicious lie ade of whole cloth and #roulgated in
order to securely bind the followers of 5atholicis to their
idolatrous belief"
This is not the end of the ?*other 6u#erior,? as she afterwards
#racticed in the o#en what she had #racticed in this 5atholic con!ent
at *unster, as she entered a house of ill fae in the 5ity of (heine
in Gerany, and there led a life of shae as a harlot of the worldI
howe!er, she was only li!ing the sae life she had been li!ing when
she was sailing under the nae of ?*other 6u#erior? in this con!ent
at *unster"
;ow, reader, if 5atholicis would #ractice such aboinations u#on the
ignorant du#es of her followers in *unster, Gerany, is it not
reasonable to su##ose that she would #ractice the to$day where!er
she can fasten her hellish belief u#on the inds of the #eo#leN
Hardly a day #asses o!er our heads but what we see in soe
news#a#er
where 5atholicis is braGenly declaring to the intelligent #ublic
that iraculous cures are being #erfored by soe ?hoodoo saint? of
their idolatrous creed"
8ne would belie!e that in enlightened 'erica the (oan 5hurch
could
not wield such an idolatrous inMuence o!er her followers, but when
you sto# to think that the children of 5atholic #arents are brought
u# fro infancy to belie!e all of this ?hoodoois,? it is not strange
that they fall into these idolatrous #ractices"
Ahen 'erica learns that the ajority of the con!ents and
onasteries
of this country are used for the #ur#ose of shielding and #rotecting
5atholic criinals, and for the #ur#ose of 5atholic dignitaries to
glut their lust u#on the feale inates of these institutions, and
will e@act and deand laws that will force a rigid e@aination e!ery
thirty or si@ty days of these institutions, then the world at large
will know and thoroughly understand that these institutions are
#ractically the hoes of de#ra!ity and licentiousness"
To gi!e the reader ore inforation in regard to what 5atholicis
resorts to to i#ress their ?du#es? with their idolatry, we want to
take u# their great agician, ?6t" 'nthony"? The 5atholic #riesthood
teaches their followers that 6t" 'nthonyCs s#irit #ossesses the #ower
to answer all #rayers, in fact, to #erfor any fa!or the su##licant
ay ask"
;ow, to illustrate what I ean, is this& 6u##ose you had lost your
#ocketbook containing RJ-"--I the 5atholic 5hurch teaches that all
you ha!e to do is to #ay a few dies into the #riestCs #ocket and
then get down and #ray to 6t" 'nthony and you will at once learn
where your #ocketbook is"
;ow, bear in ind that this #raying to 6t" 'nthony donCt cut any ice
unless you #ay soething, as e!ery #rayer ust be backed u# by
oney,
and the ore oney #aid the Huicker action you can get on 6t"
'nthony"
The 5atholic 5hurch calls it ?6t" 'nthonyCs Bread Bo@,? and right by
the side of this bo@ they ha!e a large nuber of sall candles, and
you are su##osed to dro# the oney into this bo@ to #ay for the
candles that 6t" 'nthony uses when looking for what is lost, or to
light his #ath on his road to answer your #rayer"
These candles cost the #riest fro one$half cent to one cent each,
and the ?du#e? will dro# in fro ten cents to ten dollars to ha!e his
#rayer answered, so you can see that the 5atholic 5hurch is a good
thing for the candle akers"
Ae will now gi!e you a few idiotic #rayers that are o=ered to 6t"
'nthony by the followers of blind 5atholicis"

?8ur Father" Hail, *ary" Glory"?
Ae will gi!e you an instance of this ?6t" 'nthonyCs? witchcraft
business that cae under y #ersonal obser!ation" ' lady was
standing
u#on a bridge that s#ans one of the any streas that rushes down
fro the 'dirondack *ountains, gaGing at this crystal strea and
watching the Fshes below, and while standing there she was toying
with a beautiful diaond ring that had been gi!en her by her lo!er"
In a careless anner she allowed this ring to sli# fro her Fnger,
and it fell into the waters below"
Aith a sudden cry those who were near her were attracted to the s#ot
and she e@#lained to the her isfortune, and it was not long until
there was Huite a crowd about her, o=ering their sy#athy and also
their assistance"
6oe !olunteered to wade into this strea and search for the ring,
which was done, and a nuber of buckets of ud were carried u# out
of
the strea fro the #oint the lady had stated she had dro##ed her
ring, but the ring could not be found"
't this #oint one of our 5atholic ?du#es? a##eared and e@#lained to
the lady that if she would #ut her trust in 6t" 'nthony and would #ay
RJ--, that 6t" 'nthony would restore to her her ring"
This lady being a 5atholic also, of course, was easily #ersuaded to
do this, so they knelt down and #rayed to 6t" 'nthony and beseeched
hi to restore the lost treasure, and it was not long until all of
those in the crowd that belonged to the 5atholic 5hurch were in
sy#athy with this distressed lady, and they were also kneeling and
su##licating 6t" 'nthony to restore the lost treasure" They #rayed
for an hour, but still the lost treasure would not a##earI then the
ringleader of this barbarous belief infored this lady that the ring
had been swallowed by a Fsh" He #retended to be ins#ired and claied
that he could catch this identical Fsh with the bait of 6t"
'nthonyCs bread" E!erything was soon #re#ared and the line was let
down into the water, and sure enough a good siGed Fsh was caught
u#on this 6t" 'nthonyCs bait, and the crowd went into ra#turous
delight, as they were Huite sure they had the identical Fsh that had
swallowed the ring"
's soon as the Fsh was caught a collection was raised by a #riest
who was in the crowd for the beneFt of ?6t" 'nthonyCs Bread Bo@"?
'll of the 5atholics in the crowd contributed, of course, as they
were afraid not to, for 5atholics belie!e that if they do not do what
a #riest tells the to they are sure to ha!e soething awful befall
the, and, of course, all of these 5atholics belie!ed in the
witchcraft of 6t" 'nthony and belie!ed that he was the actual
restorer of all lost things"
The Protestants in the congregation were deterined to see what was
inside of the Fsh, so they followed the one that carried it to a
butcher sho# and the Fsh was cut o#en, but naught was found in it
but what is usually found in any old Fsh that ne!er saw or heard
tell of a diaond ring"
;ow, this is one of the thousands$$yea, tens of thousands of such
instances that are forced down the throats of the ignorant,
su#erstitions followers of 5atholicis"
;ow, what I relate abo!e is true in e!ery concei!able anner, and not
one sentence or stateent is isre#resented"
This belief in the #ower of 6t" 'nthony is si#ly aboinable and
belongs to the dark ages of heathendo"
I ha!e often wondered when I was acting as #riest in the 5atholic
5hurch why it was that Protestants, when they attended y church,
would look on in wonderent and sur#rise, and I attributed this
wonderent to a desire u#on the #art of Protestantis to ake fun
and
!illify the teachings of the 5atholic 5hurch, but I now realiGe that
this bewilderent cae fro inds which had been ele!ated far
abo!e
the cungerings of the 5atholic 5hurch, and I a now sur#rised that
the Protestants who !isit 5atholic churches are not ore bewildered
and ystiFed, as the teachings of Protestantis are based u#on the
ins#irations deri!ed fro the Aord of God and the teachings of
5atholicis are naught but the rublings of the dark ages"

?The unarried life of the Priestcraft co#ared
to the arried life of a Protestant inister"?4
5ha#ter III"
'll 5hildren of Protestant Parents 're
)eclared Bastards by 5atholicis"
The 5atholic 5hurch declares that all of those who contract arriage
otherwise than in the #resence of a 5atholic Priest, that such
arriages are null and !oid"
5atholicis further declares that your darling child, which is the
fruit of your arriage, is nothing ore nor less than a coon
bastard"
How do you Protestants like to hear thisN How do you feel when you
know that this is the belief and o#inion of all 5atholic dignitaries,
and this belief is taught to all the 5atholic world by those who
#resue to dictateN
Your darling baby boy or girl is branded as an illegitiate o=s#ring
by 5atholicis, si#ly because their #arents were not united in
wedlock by a 5atholic Priest, who #erha#s is as ioral as hell
itself"
The reason why 5atholicis so sternly deands that all should be
arried by the #riestcraft is fro a onetary stand#oint, as the
5atholic #riest gets his fee, as he will not under any circustances
unite any one in wedlock without a fee, and I ha!e known in any
instances where the contracting #arties were unable to #ay a oney
fee, and the gras#ing #riestcraft would refuse to unite the in
arriage until they had gi!en hi soe article of intrinsic !alue,
and I ha!e often seen jewelry, sil!er$ounted #i#es, watches and
any
other things conFscated by the #riestcraft before they would #erfor
the cereony"
It is strange to e, indeed, that 'erica, which is and should be by
e!ery law of justice and right, a Protestant nation, is so
unconcerned and so listless o!er the insults that 5atholicis daily
o=ers Protestantis, for if it is not a ost danable insult to
stigatiGe your o=s#ring as bastards, then we are unable to discern
and distinguish between a braGen insult and a Mattering co#lient"
Ahene!er 'erica learns the actual and true eaning of 5atholicis
and her teachings, there will be an awakening aong the Protestant
world that will ake the four corners of the go!ernent of the :nited
6tates treble with a righteous indignation"
;ow, if the o=s#ring of that dear old other is a bastard, then she
is nothing ore nor less than a coon whore, and you cannot arri!e
at any other rational conclusion" This is only reasoning fro
intelligent deductionsI therefore, whene!er 5atholicis calls the
children of Protestant #arents bastards si#ly because these #arents
were not united in wedlock by a 5atholic #riest, they !illify the
sacred nae of father and other, and trail in the slie of disgrace
the sweet eories of that sturdy old father and that angelic old
Protestant other"
I a at a loss to know and to understand how Protestantis can sit so
unconcernedly by with folded hands and allow this !ulturous foe of
huan rights and huan #ri!ileges to braGenly rear its institutions
in Protestant 'erica, and teach such danable doctrines about those
who ha!e ade 'erica all she e!er was, and is, or e!er will be"
' creed or doctrine that e@ists u#on the dwarfed abitions of its
followers is undoubtedly an institution which e@ists u#on the carrion
of huan iseries, and is a enace to a nation, which #ossesses the
godly abitions that #ereate the inds of Protestantis"
Ae ha!e in this country scores$$yea, hundreds of Protestant fathers
and others who allow their children to attend 5atholic schools, when
those who are teaching the in these 5atholic institutions braGenly,
Magrantly and o#enly declare that those children are the o=s#ring
of iorality, as they do not hesitate to say that all children are
bastards whose #arents were not arried by the #riestcraftI but still
these Protestant #arents allow their children to be taught by those
who !illify and defae their #arentsC naes"
This is one of the strangest things that has e!er coe under y
obser!ation in the :nited 6tates, as the Protestant world in general
knows that 5atholicis teaches these things, and the Protestant
world also knows that under no circustances nor conditions would
5atholicis allow their children to attend a Protestant college, but
Protestant #arents go right ahead and allow their children to be
taught by a class of en and woen who will boldly declare to these
children that their own #arents are ioral, and that the teachings
of their youth were erroneous and would lead to e!erlasting
danation"
Is it not about tie that the Protestant world was arousing
thesel!es fro this lethargetic slee# of unconcern, or do you
#ro#ose to allow 5atholicis to con!ince you, by her doctrines of
degeneracy, that she is right, and that you acknowledge her as right
by you sending your children to her institutions of learningN
5atholicis has always ade her boast that if she can control the
children until they are K to 1- years old, that they will control the
go!ernent in the future, and it sees as though Protestant 'erica
is #erfectly willing to risk the conseHuences, but let e sound a
warning in your ears in this cha#ter, which ay not arouse you fro
your national stu#idity, but which, in after years, will ruble down
the a!enues of the future the truthfulness of this assertion that
will ake the Protestant world shudder" It is this& ?Q:nless you
guard the goddess of your 'erican liberty with the #atriotis of you
Protestant anhood, it will not be long until you will Fnd this
go!ernent face to face with a #roble ore #er#le@ing than the
go!ernent of France is wrestling with to$day, on account of this
(oish beast, whose jaws are dri##ing with the blood of dooed
abition"Q?
5atholicis is like a thief in the night, as she goes about her
de!astation of huan rights with the tread of a thief and with the
cunning of a bold decei!er, which she is, and this country ust
station trustworthy en u#on the ra#arts of this go!ernent to
watch
her #rogress and batter down her foundation of su#erstition and
ignorance, or within the ne@t Ffty years 'erica will Fnd herself
bound hand and foot by this (oish creed of aboinations, which has
caused e!ery nation on the face of the earth that she has e!er
controlled to wither and decay under her touch, like the tender #lant
under the broiling rays of a tro#ical sun"
I ha!e a right to sound this warning, as I know whereof I s#eak, as I
ha!e tra!eled this (oish road of des#air for thirty years, and I
know her cunning and dastardly dece#tion so well that her history and
her teachings are to e like the #rier is to the school boy or girl"
The warnings that I now sound in the ears of Protestant 'erica are
not sounded by an alarist, nor one who does not know whereof he
s#eaks, but these warnings coe fro one whose back has been
lashed
for thirty long years with the whi# of a 5atholic tyrant, and I know
the history of 5atholicis fro beginning to end, for if one cannot
learn the history of an institution in thirty yearsC de!out study,
then #ray tell e of what use it is for an to a##ly hiself to the
study of anythingN
I was once as de!out a 5atholic as I a to$day a Protestant, and I a
only a Protestant to$day because I was forced to becoe such, after
ha!ing the scales of 5atholicis brushed fro y eyes, which had
been blinded by the su#erstition and fearful doctrines of this
aboinable creed"

I ha!e been a careful obser!er of e!ents through y entire life, and
I ne!er was ore thoroughly con!inced than to$day that we stand near
the threshold of Po#ish #ower in 'erica, and I ask of the reader,
and of the Protestant world at large, 're we about to realiGe the
#rediction ade by the father of our countryN 're we nearing the tie
when liberty shall be bound to the stake by 5atholicisN 're we
nearing the great (oish chas that has swallowed u# the ho#es of
any nationsN 're we nearing the crater of a (oan !olcano that
#ours
out its desolation and de!astation u#on free enN 're we nearing the
inky night of ser!itude, where no light is #ossible, but the di and
treacherous la# of idolatrous 5atholicisN 're we nearing the
stretch of waste lands that contains no friendly oasis for hi who
seeks libertyN 're we building our own se#ulchers to bury all the
ho#es of liberty cherished by our forefathersN 're we willingly
carrying fuel for our own funeral #yres, there to be consued by the
greedy and relentless ghouls of 5atholicisN
These are Huestions that deand an answer and deand an answer at
once, as we are far along the road to the end of huan rights in
Protestant 'erica, unless we call a halt and kindle anew the Fres
of #atriotis that ha!e so long been unnoticed by those who ha!e
been
left in charge to guard our interests"
5atholicis is a !ile decei!er and a rank hy#ocrite, therefore we
ust diligently watch her ser#entine o!eents, for she will a##ear
where you least e@#ect her, as she wra#s about her the 'erican Mag
and other sybols of #atriotis and goes about as a lab in wolfCs

I ha!e no reason for writing this book only a desire to hel# undo

burned at the stake by 5atholicis for #roclaiing to the world the

5atholicis is taught her cunning fro her childhood, as she is

The nations of the earth ha!e had wars fro the creation of the

Ahene!er you tear the cloak of su#erstition and idolatry fro the

The en of science and of reason, all o!er the world, boldly accuse
the (oan 5atholic 5hurch of being the eney of science, detesting it
and desiring to s#read the antle of ignorance o!er all those who
she controls"
The 5hurch sees not to understand that e!erything Fnds its source
at the fountain of reason, as all things ust originate fro God,
and ost assuredly the 6u#ree Being is an intelligent, reasonable
and rational God" The 5atholic 5hurch ust resist, as a atter of

in disgrace, for ci!iliGation and reason is a nightare and an
e!erlasting eney to 5atholicis, as ?scientiFc thought? akes her

If the world is to de#end u#on the (oish 5hurch for her
intellectuality, and for her #hiloso#hy, and for her scientiFc
resources, she will always be gro#ing her way in darkness, as the
Po#ish church has ne!er ad!anced one$hundredth #art of an inch fro

any aterial way been instruental in ad!ancing a single interest of

Ahene!er an institution coes to belie!e that it is infallible and an

whene!er this ha##ens, the indi!idual who belie!es this becoes a

(oan 5atholicis originated"
To deonstrate to the reader and gi!e hi or her soe idea of the
tyrannical rule of (oanis, we will take the history of Galileo,
which e!ery child, #erha#s, is acHuainted with"
Galileo declared that the sun did not o!e, and this declaration
greatly insulted Po#e :rban, who grew !ery angry, as this #o#e had
taught that the sun did o!e and that the earth stood still"
The teachings of Galileo so angered the #o#e that he called together
an inHuisitorial board and had Galileo tried by this (oish
tribunal, and Galileo was sentenced to i#risonent for what
5atholicis tered a heretical doctrine"
Aho was right$$5atholicis or GalileoN ;ot a school boy or girl si@
years old in this land but what knows that 5atholicis was wrong, as
she usually is, but she would not ha!e acknowledged her wrong had
not
the world$at$large been thoroughly con!inced of her error, which
would ha!e brought her to the !ery feet of ridicule had she #ersisted
in teaching the doctrine #roulgated by Po#e :rban that ?the sun did
o!e, and that the earth stood still"?
The 5atholic 5hurch is always desirous of e!ading Huestions which are
susce#tible to debate, and which, by ature thought and deliberation,
can be analyGed, as she does not desire to coe into contact with the
brains of any nation, but is satisFed to #rey u#on the ignorant and
su#erstitiously inclined, as those are her du#es and the ones fro
who she deri!es her re!enue, and ?re!enue? is one of the ain
#erHuisites of the 5atholic 5hurch, as this (oish institution is run
for the sole #ur#ose of aking serfs of en and controlling the
destiny of nations, so that the inhabitants ay be forced to disgorge
their sustenance in her la# of greed, and it atters not how low she
brings her followers, nor what ay be the hardshi#s they ha!e to
endure, just so she acco#lishes her diabolical end"
The reader ay think it strange that a an who was born and raised a
5atholic, and who for thirty years oEciated in the ca#acity of a
5atholic #riest, could turn his back u#on the creed of his
forefathers and so !eheently endea!or to destroy e!ery !estige of
his childhoodCs doctrines, but this is no ore unreasonable than it
was for Paul, in the twinkle of an eye, to turn fro his wickedness
and becoe one of the chosen '#ostles of 5hrist"
*any years before I cut loose entirely fro the 5atholic 5hurch y
faith in her aboinations was at ties alost threadbare, and I ha!e
declared tie and tie again that ne!er would I enter another
5atholic 5hurch in the ca#acity of a #riest, but as often as I
declared and ade these resol!es, just so often I broke the, as y
early training and y su#erstitious fears would get the better of y
con!ictions, and I would be whi##ed back into the trenches of
su#erstition"
I ha!e often tried within the #ast ten years to ?nag? those oEcials

but it a##eared as though they discerned by intentions and they would
not do as I desired, and at last I ade u# y ind that I would swing
out u#on y own account fro the dark shadows of this su#erstitious
belief, and e!ery word of this book has been written without a single
charge #referred against e by the 5atholic 5hurch, therefore the
5atholic 5hurch cannot declare that I was not in good standing as a

Ahat I ean by ?good standing? is that the robed onarchs who boldly

Ahy I so earnestly desire to i#ress this u#on the inds of the

about and I know full well that the 5atholic oEcials will at once
endea!or to ake the world belie!e that I a an outcast and in bad

This book is being written in the year 1D-,, and I will ake oath

stateents herein set forth, and I will gi!e ten thousand dollars to
any charitable institution in 'erica if any #riest, bisho# or

do so, but y whole training and long association would in!ariably
get the aster of y reason and better judgent, and I would be
forced by y su#erstitious training back into the ystiFed
labyrinths of y childhoodCs education"
I stood it until I becae tortured day and night by the #rod of
reason, then I Huietly left the church and bade farewell to the
heathen 6ca#ular and the ten thousand other trinkets of blind
#aganis, and resol!ed to break the chain of this ?Qsla!e of the
soulQ? and ?Qtyrant of reasonQ"?
In this cha#ter we want to gi!e the reader soe idea of the
nonsensical and unreasonableness of the clais of 5atholicis, so
that you ay ore fully understand how disgusting it is for a an who
endea!ors to use his God$gi!en abilities to subit to such
aboinations"
The 5atholic 5hurch de#ends ore u#on the sa!ing #ower of the
6ca#ular than it does u#on the sa!ing #ower of 9esus 5hrist" ;ow,
this is a broad e@#ression, but I know whereof I s#eak and I a
#re#ared to back u# the assertion with facts"
The 6ca#ular is a !eil or ca#e, which co!ers the shoulders" It was
worn as such by *onks and ;uns, o!er their dress, but which is best
known aong 5atholics as two little #ieces of cloth worn out of
de!otion, under ordinary garents, and connected by a string which
goes around the neck and hangs down, allowing this ?trinket? to rest
u#on the breast"
5atholic children, fro their infancy, are taught that this trinket
is a #re!entati!e against accident and disease, and they actually
belie!e it, and should they lose this ?nothing? they at once becoe
iserable and will undergo any hardshi# to #ossess another"
It was through the 5arelites O*onksP that this de!otion began and I
belie!e that the history that I will relate in regard to it is the
Frst history e!er re#eated in this or any other country by an
e@$#riest that e!er li!ed or died"
' an by the nae of 6ion 6tock was elected to the generalshi# of
the 5arelite 8rder, and this sae 6ion 6tock was considered a
6aint, and it is taught by 5atholicis that the Birgin *ary a##eared
to 6ion 6tock in a !ision and e@hibited this 6ca#ular and ga!e 6tock
to understand that it was to be worn by the 5atholic world in the
future as a #re!entati!e against accident, disease and sudden death"
There is another story which is told in regard to this 6ca#ular, as
follows& It is said that the Birgin *ary a##eared to 6ion 6tock in a
!ision in behalf of the 5arelite 8rder, which at that tie was in
great trouble, and ga!e to 6tock a 6ca#ular, which she bore in her
hand, in order that it could be worn, and which she guaranteed was
an order direct fro God 'lighty that the 5arelite 8rder should
wear this ?trinket,? which would be a #re!entati!e fro any e!il
o!ertaking any of those who did wear it, and further stating that all
of those who wore this 6ca#ular ?Qshall ne!er su=er eternal
burningQ"?
It is further stated that Po#e 9ohn LLII, in his faous 6abbatine
Bull, declared that the Birgin *ary had a##eared to hi and infored
hi that all the ebers of the 5arelite 8rder who wore this
6ca#ular should be gotten out of #urgatory by her on the 6aturday
after their death, and this Po#e winds u# his declaration with the
following sentence& ?I acce#t, corroborate and conFr, in the nae
of 9esus 5hrist, for our Glorious Birgin *ary, who has granted this
great #ri!ilege to those who wear the 6ca#ular"?
This aboination is nothing ore nor less than a ?tale of Fction,?
and #roulgated by en who know that it is a #ositi!e lie, but they
do it in order to ystify the ignorant and to co#el the to reain
in darkest ignorance"
;ow, to con!ince the reader that 5atholicis is as densely ignorant
to$day as it e!er was, we will bring her history u# to date"
Po#e %eo, in the good year of 1D-,, on his death bed, ordered this
5arelite !eil brought fro *ount 5arel, that he ight ha!e
assistance fro it in his dying hour, and declared that by the
assistance of this ythical 6ca#ular that when he died he would go
straight to Hea!en"
You can take the history of the (oan 5atholic 5hurch fro the
earliest days of its cussedness u# to the #resent tie, and you will
Fnd that the sae heathenish su#erstition that surrounded it
centuries ago still follows it to$day"
Is there any #roof that the Birgin *ary a##eared to 6ion 6tock and
ade to hi the #roise abo!e relatedN ;o #roof whate!er, only the
cungered u# #roof of the oEcials of 5atholicis, and the 6abbatine
Bull of Po#e 9ohn has no ore sense nor righteous eaning in it than
the ghost dance of the 'erican Indian"
The 6ca#ular that we abo!e refer to is not the only eble of
heathendo that 5atholicis resorts to, but we ha!e a nuber of
others which the Protestant world knows but little about, and
es#ecially the Protestants in 'erica, as the 5atholic oEcials do
not want ?this 6ca#ular business? talked about too uch in this
country, for fear that the Protestant world will gi!e it the
deser!ing ridicule that it should ha!e" Howe!er, we ha!e started out
to show u# the teachings of 5atholicis as they actually e@ist, and
the ore light we turn u#on this subject the ore #roinent her
aboinations will becoe, conseHuently we want to ention these
other
6ca#ulars"
The Frst that we will ention is, ?The Trinity of Ahite %inen with
(ed 5rossI? the second is, ?The 6ur!ite 6ca#ular of 6e!en )olors,?
which is of black woolen stu=I the third is, ?The Iaculate
5once#tion,? which is of blue woolen cloth, and the fourth and last
6ca#ular is one that was originated in 123. by a 6ister of 5harity in
Paris, France, who is said to ha!e recei!ed a re!elation fro God
'lighty, and this one is called ?The (ed 6ca#ular of the Passion"?
Ahile 'erican 5atholics are a class far su#erior in intellect to the
5atholics of other nations, they still tenaciously cling to the
inert 6ca#ular and belie!e in its eEcacy and #owerI howe!er, the
5atholic 5hurch is getting to ha!e Huite a nuber of these 6ca#ulars,
which is causing the intelligent 5atholics to becoe a little
doubtful as to which has the greatest ?#ulling #ower,? and any of
the, in order to ake no istake, wear all F!e of the in a bunchI
thus they are assured that if one fails to get in its work another
will coe to the rescue, and should they fall o= of a train o!ing
.- iles an hour, this little bunch of woolen goods will sa!e the
fro a bruise, or should they drink a Huart of the essence of
strychnine they would be sa!ed fro instant death by one of these
F!e 6ca#ulars"
You ask a 5atholic to e@#lain the erits of the 6ca#ular and all they
can tell you is that if they die during the week that the Birgin *ary
will then take the to hea!en on the 6aturday following, but if they
ha##en to die on a 6aturday, bear in ind that the Birgin *ary gi!es
the a cold shoulder until the ne@t 6aturday" ;ow, this is the only
e@#lanation that you can get a 5atholic to gi!e you in regard to a
6ca#ular"
Is it any wonder that the #ower to reason is shattered by these
cungering de!ices of 5atholicis, and do you wonder that the dense
ignorance of 5atholic nations are co#letely under the #ower of this
angel of darknessN
%et us re#eat, in conclusion of this cha#ter, that (oanis is the
e!erlasting eney of science and indi!idual intellect, as she knows
full well that when the broad, e=ulgent light of Protestantis dawns
on the benighted inds of her followers that she at once loses her
gras# u#on her ?hood$winked? du#es, as it is i#ossible for the
teachings of 5atholicis to e@ist side by side with the teachings of
Protestantis, #ro!ided that those who belie!e in these (oish

Ae desire to #reface this cha#ter with coon$sense arguents, so
that the reader ay thoroughly understand how co#letely the feale

Priests are, as a rule, en of ore than a!erage intellect, and, as

ake good i#ressions u#on their ebers, they of course becoe
cunning in their art, es#ecially with the feale ebers of their

Priests always try to i#ress their ebers with the idea that they

this for any reasons" First, in order that they ay ha!e their
congregations in huble subission to any of the deands of the

It is no #leasant task to dwell u#on this ost distasteful and ost

would be treating the subject in a anner that would not do justice

He further states ?that not only do the thoughts, feelings, eotions,

The iorally inclined and licentious #riest is not satisFed with

This !ery sae #riest was caught in the act of adultery with a
arried woan in his oEce in East 6t" %ouis" He was at that tie,
besides being #astor, the editor and #ublisher of a !ery i#ortant
5atholic #a#er called ?QThe 5atholic ProgressQ"? This iorality of
Priest <uhlan becae #ublic #ro#erty and fored such a nasty ess
that the 5atholic bisho# had to take soe notice of it and the case
was tried before the Bisho# of 'lton, Ill", and <uhlan was
e@counicated for life"
This arried woan ga!e testiony that was !ery daaging to the
(e!"
<uhlan and ga!e her e!idence before a notary #ublic, which cannot
be
dis#uted, and it atters not how hard the 5atholic 5hurch ay try to
!illify these stateents, they cannot o!ercoe the truthfulness of
the sae, as there are too any li!ing witnesses at this tie who
know that what I a relating is absolutely true"
(e!" <uhlan was not satisFed with the !erdict of the bisho# of
'lton, Ill", and a##ealed his case to (oe, and the bisho# was indeed
glad to get rid of this dirty case and did not a##ear in (oe to
#rosecute the case, and the (e!" <uhlan won the case in (oe by
default, and this sae (e!" <uhlan becae a 5atholic #riest in good
standing again and was #eritted to oEciate as a inister of the
gos#el, with all of this aboinable slie of iorality clinging to
his #riestly garents"
;ow, bear in ind that (e!" <uhlan, after ha!ing all of this
iorality laid at his door, was #eritted by the Po#e of (oe to go
right ahead with his #riestly duties, but a short tie after he won
his case at (oe there was an aEda!it sworn out against <uhlan by
a an in East 6t" %ouis, a!erring that he had been again caught in
the act of adultery with another woan" This tie the case was
re#orted to Bisho# 9anssen, of Belle!ille, Ill", and also to 5ardinal
*artinelli, of Aashington, )"5", but there was no attention #aid to
it, and this (e!" <uhlan was #eritted to go right ahead in his
#astoral duties and is at the #resent tie the #astor of a church in
East 6t" %ouis and is also the s#iritual director of a con!ent, which
contains any sisters and any #u#ils"
;ow, if what I ha!e related is false, (e!" 5has" <uhlan has redress
at lawI and if I ha!e libeled hi he can ake e su=er for the

It is no #leasant task to relate these !ery nauseating things, but it
is y ai and intention to so #lainly and #owerfully set forth the
deceit, cunning and dastardly deeds of 5atholicis that I ay be able
to o#en the eyes of not only the Protestant world but of 5atholicis
at large, for there are thousands of the followers of the Po#e who
are !ery weak in their faith, and if I can by the righteousness of y
cause, con!ince the that they are following the blind leaders of
#aganis, I a absolutely certain that the Protestant ranks will ha!e
an in$gathering of the hosts of 5atholicis that will cause the
angels in hea!en to shout hallelujahs of thanksgi!ing"
)o not understand e to say, or to intiate, that there are no
sincere #riests, as there areI but their sincerity is founded u#on
su#erstitious beliefs and erroneous doctrines, conseHuently their
sincerity and de!outness only hel#s to fasten the aboinations of
5atholicis ore co#letely u#on huanity, as those who are
candidly
sincere are held u# to the Protestant world as odels of 5atholicis,
when, in fact, they are but e@ce#tions to the general herd of
5atholic oEcials"
To ore #lainly illustrate to the reader how fascinating and #owerful
the teachings of 5atholicis is u#on the inds of an, I would
illustrate this by the #ower that #arents ha!e o!er a child" You
teach a child soe doctrine, it atters not whether it is right or
wrong, and you will i#ress it with the truthfulness of this doctrine
in its childhood, and let it understand as it grows into anhood and
woanhood that this doctrine is absolutely true, and hedge it about
with su#erstitions conFring this doctrine, and the hosts of hell
can hardly con!ince it that its early teachings were wrongI so you
can easily see what a #owerful inMuence 5atholicis has o!er the
inds of its followers, as you ust bear in ind that 5atholicis
takes u# the child when it is only a few days old and continually
hedges it about with ebles of ignorance and su#erstition and ne!er
allows it to gaGe abo!e the horiGon of this ass of erroneous
doctrineI therefore the child is not to blae for its i#licit
conFdence, but the cunning of those who #ractice this dece#tion u#on
this child is to blae, and the doctrine of 5atholicis is what I a
assailing in this !olue, for if I can be instruental in o#ening the
eyes of those who ha!e arri!ed at the years of accountability, I feel
sure that I can be instruental in ha!ing those so reached declare to
their o=s#ring that their Frst lessons ha!e been altogether
erroneous, and if the 5atholic #arents will begin to teach their
children before they lea!e the #arental roof that their Frst lessons
were erroneous it will not be so hard for the Protestant world to
Fnish the job and turn these hosts of darkness into the highways of
intellectuality"
The reason that we ha!e so any disgraceful ha##enings and ioral
incidents in the li!es of the #riestcraft is because of the absolute
conFdence that their followers ha!e in the, as it is a well$known
fact that the feale world has a greater conFdence in huanity than
the ale #o#ulation, so it is an easy atter for any sane an or
woan to understand why an ioral #riest, and one who has no
regard
for honor, has such an easy task in acco#lishing the ruin of those
who he seeks to destroy"
The #aradise of the #riestcraft is inky darkness, as they #refer
darkness to light, and by their actions, their e!ery$day li!es take
on the hue of idnight" If we can read God 'lightyCs hand$writing in
a legible anner, we belie!e that any intelligent an or woan can
discern in the countenance of a ajority of the #riestcraft a look
which is alost eHual to a condenation of their actions, as a large
ajority are lacking of that anly frankness of countenance which is
found in the countenances of godly en"
In conclusion of this cha#ter, I beg to state that the 5onfessional
Bo@ of the (oish 5hurch is one of the darkest #ages of the dark
history of 5atholicis, and if this hideous cha#ter was reo!ed fro
(oanis, three$fourths of her diabolical deeds would be eradicatedI
but when you reo!e the ?5onfessional? you reo!e the char for
that
#art of the #riestcraft which e@ists u#on the carrion of the huan
faily, and whene!er you reo!e the ?5onfessional,? the celibacy of
the church will be abandoned and the #riestcraft will be allowed to
arry, as Protestant inisters are #eritted to do, and when this is
done, instead of ha!ing a (oan 5atholic 5hurch, we will ha!e a
Protestant denoination in its stead, and y #rayer is that a just
God will hasten the day when this ?Q!irtue tra#Q? will be relegated
to the dark recesses of #aganis, fro whence it cae"

The ;ations 5o#letely )oinated by
the Power of the Po#e 're ;ations of Illegitiacy"
In this cha#ter, we ha!e before us the !ision of two countriesI one
is Protestant 'erica and the other 5atholic Ecuador"
Protestant 'erica stands u#on a #lane of orality and chastity,
which is #leasing to conte#late, and for which she can thank only
the #rinci#les of Protestantis, for Protestantis teaches, by both
#rece#t and e@a#le, as she looks to the only true standard of
orality that e!er e@isted, which is the Holy Bible" But 5atholicis
looks only to a standard which the Po#e of (oe sees Ft to
establish, and a standard of orals which is set by ortal an, can
only be, at its best, a !ery inferior standard, as the licentiousness
and lust of unholy an can ne!er co#are with that great and
inFnitely good QbeingQ, the %ord of Hosts"
Broad education of the ind eans a subduing of the #assions, and
QbroadQ education is soething that the 5atholic 5hurch Fghts
against, as she knows full well that to educate her asses would be
eHui!alent to losing her gras# u#on their actions, for no an or
woan of a broad education and an indi!idual intellectuality will
#erit these hosts of darkness to dictate to the"
Ignorance is the greatest breeder of crie known to the intelligence
of an, and it is an established fact that crie breeds iorality,
and iorality of course is the eHui!alent of illegitiacy, and
historical facts will bear e out in the assertion that the countries
which are absolutely under the #ower of the Po#e are countries which
are densely ignorant, and again, as abo!e stated, ignorance leads to
crie, and crie to iorality, and now we are back to the Frst
#ro#osition and ha!e #ro!en without going further that ?The nations
co#letely doinated by the #ower of the Po#e are nations of
illegitiacy,? but we #ro#ose to use historical records to con!ince
without the shadow of a doubt that our stateents are true" Howe!er,
I do not need these historical facts, as I ha!e tra!eled e@tensi!ely
through Euro#e and any other countries, and I know whereof I s#eak,
by #ersonal obser!ation and by coing into #ersonal contact with both
5atholic and Protestant nations" Howe!er, we are not going to be
satisFed with this alone, as we do not want the reader to rely
i#licitly u#on our indi!idual stateents, but we #ro#ose to bring
facts to bear u#on your ind which cannot be o!er$thrown, as
statistics are stubborn and unyielding facts, which none but fools
dis#ute"
Ae #ro#ose to take statistics fro the QPeabody (e#orterQ, which you
can corroborate with the oEcial re#ort of the :nited 6tates
5oissioner of Education" The statistics that we abo!e refer to
follow&
?To e!ery ten thousand inhabitants under the (oan 5atholic school
syste, there are 1,3-- illiterates, 31- #au#ers and 1.- criinals,
while in the #ublic school syste we only Fnd to e!ery ten thousand
inhabitants ,J- illiterates, aking a di=erence of 1,-J- to e!ery
ten thousand"? Thus you see that what we ha!e said in #re!ious
cha#ters of this book in regard to (oanis being founded u#on the
ountains of ignorance is true"
Education in its literal eaning, eans an infusion of intelligence
that lifts u# the inds of an, and it is generally so acce#ted by
the world at large, but education, as far as 5atholicis goes, eans
only a rehearsal of aboinations, which ha!e been #racticed u#on the
followers of this creed for centuries in the #ast, and does not in the
least bear u#on the #rinci#les of true education"
The #ublic school syste is established on the #rinci#le that the
intelligence and !irtue of the #eo#le constitutes the foundation of
free go!ernent"
8ur #ublic schools therefore for one of the chief cornerstones of
our 'erican re#ublicI they are the sheet anchor of our ho#es" The
growth and #ros#erity which ha!e characteriGed the Frst century of
our schools fulFlls their ission"
Education is the watchword of the hour aong Protestants, but ne!er
aong 5atholics" Ae ust educate if we would ele!ate, and unless we
ele!ate the inds of en we will ha!e huanity running riot with !ice
and iorality, and this is why the 5atholic nations of the earth are
found with their orals trailing in the slie of degeneracy"
8ur #ublic schools are to$day the great assiilating #ower in this
country" Ae Fnd in the children of all nationalities, and whether
they be English, Irish, 6cotch, )anish, ;orwegians, French, Italians,
or soe other nationality, when they enter these institutions they
#ass out of the school houses, scattered all o!er this land,
Q'ericansQ, one and all, as it is absolutely i#ossible to ake
anything but a Qtrue 'ericanQ out of a #u#il who has been turned out
of the #ublic schools of this country, and one who has been #eritted
to assiilate the doctrines of broad education taught in these
schools"
The inMuence of the #ublic schools works ra#idly u#on childhood and
is felt through all of their after li!es" ' child who has been
educated in the #ublic schools of this country is always an
unrelenting foe of caste, but the child who is educated in the
#arochial schools is taught to look u# to innuerable su#eriors, and
such an education dwarfs the inds of childhood and teaches the to
continually look to others for their indi!idual ha##iness, but the
teachings of the #ublic schools broaden the indi!idual ind and gi!es
courage, which enables the child to swing out fro the inMuence of
others and becoe a ighty #ower in the echanis of the uni!erse"
Ae touch u#on the #ublic schools in this cha#ter, only in connection
with the doinating inMuence of the Po#e o!er nations which he
co#letely rules, in order that the reader ay thoroughly understand
that ignorance begets crie and crie begets illegitiacy, as we
e@#ect to dwell ore fully u#on the education of nations in the
future, but we want the reader to begin at the ?'l#ha? of reason, so
that when he or she is through with this cha#ter that there will be
no doubt in their inds as to why the #ower of the Po#e breeds
illegitiacy aong his followers"
Ae ha!e contrasted the di=erence in orals of the inhabitants,
which are co#letely doinated by (oan 5atholicis, to that of the
inhabitants of Protestant 'erica, but we ha!e ade this co#arison
in a general wayI but we now want to select a country which for its
absolutis of 5atholic onarchy has no co#arison, and that country
is Ecuador"
In Ecuador the 5atholic 5hurch has such a co#lete hold u#on the
inhabitants that they will not allow Protestantis taught, and the
conseHuence of her tyranny is that out of e!ery 1-- children born in
that country, se!enty$F!e are bastards or illegitiate and ha!e no
idea of their father, and the iorality of the #riestcraft is so
!ile that their actions are absolutely #assed o!er without notice, as
there is scarcely a single #riest to be found in that country but who
is the father of fro ten to twenty$F!e and thirty childrenI but
still the (oan 5hurch continues to forbid her #riests to wed, when
they know full well that celibacy in the 5atholic 5hurch is the cause
of all of this degeneracy"
This state of a=airs is not conFned to Ecuador alone, but the sae
state of a=airs e@ists throughout the length and breadth of all
5atholic nations which are co#letely under the #ower of the Po#e"
Italy, for instance, which is the hoe of the Po#e and which has been
the hoe of the 5atholic 5hurch since the e@istence of her
aboinations, is one of the ost ioral countries that e!er
besirched the face of the earth"
The Frst lesson that a 5atholic child is taught is ?QhateQ,? and
that lesson is directed at ProtestantisI therefore, is it any wonder
that the education of 5atholicis only reaches out far enough to
hoodwink the student and does not ele!ate hi or her abo!e the
festering ess which surrounds itN
Ae want, to re#eat the stateent that the (oan 5atholic 5hurch
does
not want to educate anybody, nor will it do so, where it is not under
the #ressure of Protestant inMuence" Howe!er, the 'erican #eo#le
deand Fgures and facts before they will be con!incedI so as further
e!idence of the truthfulness of what we are telling you, we #ro#ose
to Huote fro a re#ort of the inister of education in Italy, ade
soe few years ago" This re#ort is true in e!ery #articular, and
bear in ind that this inister of education was a 5atholic hiself"
The re#ort follows&
?8f e!ery 1,--- ales in the #ro!ince of %obardy, J,D only were able
to read, and 3.1 did not e!en know their letters" 8f e!ery 1,---
feales, only 3+. could read and JK3 could not read, neither did they
know their letters"
?In ;a#les and 6icily, out of e!ery 1,--- ales, only 1.J were able
to read and 2,J could not, and out of e!ery 1,--- feales, only .+
could read and D,2 could not read and did not know their al#habet"
Taking this re#ort, you will Fnd that out of e!ery 1--, only about
1- were able to read"
?In 12.3, out of +1,---,--- #eo#le, only ,,J--,--- could read and
write, and the rest did not know their al#habet, and to$day 6#ain,
another country which is co#letely doinated by the #ower of (oe,
has a #o#ulation of ignorant du#es, as 2- #er cent of the #o#ulation
of 6#ain cannot read and write"
?In Ireland, where the (oish 5hurch is doinant, this sae record is
re#eated, as in other 5atholic nations" In Euro#ean countries where
Protestantis is taught there is but one out of e!ery ten that cannot
read and write, but in the sae countries, where 5atholicis has
absolute sway, there is but one out of e!ery 1+J that can read and
write"
?In si@ leading Protestant countries of Euro#e there are ,1J
inhabitants to e!ery news#a#er or agaGine, while in si@ (oan
5atholic countries in Euro#e there is but one news#a#er to e!ery
+,K1J #eo#le"
?It is estiated that at least se!en$eighths of the twenty illion
inhabitants in 6#anish$'erica, which consists of the countries of
*e@ico, 5uba, 5entral 'erica and the north and west #arts of 6outh
'erica, are unable to read, and in *e@ico alone D- #er cent of the
inhabitants cannot read nor write, neither do they know their
al#habetI? thus you can see what (oan 5atholicis does for the
countries which she controls"
Ae are writing this book, belie!ing that an intelligent class of
#eo#le will read it, and if such is true, we belie!e that it is
useless for us to try to deonstrate further why the countries which
are co#letely controlled by 5atholicis are countries of
illegitiacy, for an intelligent reader knows full well that
ignorance is the greatest brooder of iorality known to an, and, of
course, iorality eans illegitiacy, and we belie!e that we ha!e
thoroughly deonstrated to the ind of the reader that 5atholicis
s#reads a cloak of ignorance and su#erstition where!er she is allowed
to rule su#ree, and if this is the case, then the natural
conseHuences of such a state of a=airs is illegitiacy"

The Power of the Po#e in 5uba, Porto
(ico and the Phili##ine Islands"
It akes y heart sick when I realiGe that the Go!ernent of the
:nited 6tates has s#ent hundreds of illions of dollars u#on the
Islands of 5uba, Porto (ico and the Phili##ine Islands, and, after
all, these Islands are still in the gras# and the Flthy ebrace of
the Batican at (oe"
;ot only fabulous aounts of oney ha!e been s#ent by the :nited
6tates u#on these Islands, but hundreds of our noble boys in blue
ha!e gi!en u# their li!es in battle and by the scourge of disease,
and still 5atholicis has absolute sway in these far$away countries"
These islands ha!e been under the iediate control of Po#ery for
hundreds of years, but when the Go!ernent of the :nited 6tates took
charge of the, their inhabitants had ad!anced no further in
intellectuality and the freedo of free en than they were centuries
ago"
It ay sound strange to the a!erage reader when I declare that all of
the li!es lost and all of the oney e@#ended by the :nited 6tates
u#on 5uba, Porto (ico and the Phili##ine Islands was brought about by
the tyrannical rule of (oe, for it was by her aboinations that 5uba
rebelled, which was the #rie cause of the interference by the
go!ernent of the :nited 6tatesI therefore you can readily see why it
is that I clai that 5atholicis is to blae for the #art that the
go!ernent of the :nited 6tates took in the a=airs of these
countries, and what #uGGles e so uch is why the go!ernent of the
:nited 6tates still #erits 5atholicis to control the destinies of
these countries, when the oEcials of this go!ernent know full well
that had it not been for abhorrent 5atholicis that 5uba would ne!er
ha!e rebelled and that Porto (ico would ha!e been satisFed, and that
the Phili##ine Islands would not to$day belong to the :nited 6tatesI
but, instead of this go!ernent trying to reedy the great wrong
done to the inhabitants of these countries, it went right ahead and
allowed the bone of contention to reain, and to$day Fnds this
go!ernent not only #eritting 5atholicis to continue to #ractice
her aboinations in these countries, but this go!ernent is
instruental in sending 5atholic teachers o!er to these countries,
when, if this country would do its whole duty, it would not #erit
5atholicis to take any #art in the a=airs of these countries"
'rchbisho# 5ha#elle was shi##ed to the Phili##ine Islands with all
the #o# of a ruler, and so was 'rchbisho# 9"9" Harty, who I a
#ersonally acHuainted with, and who I ha!e been on intiate ters
with for a nuber of years, and this an Harty is to$day in the
Phili##ine Islands ruling with the sae tyrannical hand that has
characteriGed (oanis for centuries #ast, and whose rule is only
sybolic to ruin, as the interests of the inhabitants of these
countries are ne!er considered, as it is (oeCs abition and only
desire to kee# the under the heel of #er#etual tyranny"
Ae would like to know why 'rchbisho# 5ha#elle should be gi!en the
best stateroo in a trans#ort shi# sailing for *anila, while our
#ure$blooded, honest, sincere Protestant boys who wear the blue were
huddled together like so any cattle"
'h, this is the reason& 'rchbisho# 5ha#elle is an eissary of the
Po#e of (oe and stands ready at all ties to ser!e the wishes and
obey the orders of that Italian #onti=, and our oEcials were aware
of this fact and they did not want to stir u# the 5atholic oEcials
for fear of losing a few !otes, as both of our old #arties ha!e sunk
so low into the Huagire of Flth that they would allow their country
to sink to the le!el of (oish aboinations if they thought by so
doing they could control the 5atholic !ote for either #arty"
Aas one of your boys on this trans#ort shi#N Aas your kith and kin
aboard this !essel that showed this ungodly discriination between

injustice done to these bra!e lads in fa!or of this 'rchbisho#

disease and death to hel# #lant the eble of liberty u#on the
ra#arts of these far$away Islands, and this sae 'rchbisho# 5ha#elle
was on his way to destroy the inMuence of these boysC ission"
The tie is not far distant until the Protestant world will wake u#
to the realiGation that they ha!e been hubled before this Italian
#onti= for the si#le reason that our oEcials are willing to cater
to 5atholicis in 5uba, Porto (ico and the Phili##ine Islands for the
sake of !otes"
Ae do not care whether you are a (e#ublican or a )eocrat, this
cha#ter should Fre your blood to the fullest e@tent, for I a
telling you truths, and if you ha!e got the coon decency of the
ost ignorant liberty$lo!ing 'erican you will right now ake a
resol!e that Protestant 'erica ust redee her #ledge to 5uba,
Porto
(ico and the Phili##ine Islands to liberate the not only fro the
hardshi#s #laced u#on the by a foreign nation, but liberate the
fro the bonds of 5atholicis, which not only binds the body, but
chains the soul with the fetters of ignorance and su#erstition"
Ahen it becae known that the go!ernent of the :nited 6tates was
to
interfere in the a=airs of 5uba, the 5atholic 5hurch #ut all of her
achinery to work iediately in order to fool :ncle 6a and cajole
hi into dealing only with the go!ernent of 6#ain, which would
#erit 5atholicis to e@ist in these Islands, and the #ages of
history only tell us too well how successfully she laid her #lans, as
to$day we ha!e the awful s#ectacle of beholding the go!ernent of the
:nited 6tates #laying the #art of ?#rotector,? while she is Huietly
aiding the identical institution which caused the isery in these
far$away countries"
Ahat I tell you in this cha#ter is true, as I was a 5atholic #riest
and was on the inside of the workings of 5atholicis at that tie,
and what I relate is not guess work nor iagination, but it is #lain,
un!arnished and unadulterated truths, and the 'erican #eo#le will
sooner or later wake u# to the realiGation of these awful truths, for
just so long as the :nited 6tates #erits 5atholicis to control the
destinies of 5uba, Porto (ico and the Phili##ine Islands, just that
long turoil and isery will reain in these tro#ical regions, for
5atholicis has sworn by all of her iaginary saints that
Protestantis shall ne!er rule these countries, and so far she has
carried out her threat truly and well, as Protestantis to$day has no
ore control o!er the inhabitants of these islands than she did
before the danable creed of the Po#e was olested by the
a##earance
of )eweyCs guns at *anila"
5an you e@#ect these countries to grow in greatness, and can you
e@#ect the inhabitants of these countries to becoe giants in

Ae want to gi!e the reader an insight in this cha#ter to what
5atholicis #ractices in this country and in other countries that are
not near so densely ignorant as 5uba, Porto (ico and the Phili##ine
Islands, and then you can ha!e an idea of what the inhabitants of
these countries ay e@#ect in the way of ad!anceent fro
5atholicis, and what I will re#eat is the aboinations that I ha!e
hel#ed to #ractice yself for thirty yearsI therefore I know whereof
I s#eak and no an dare dis#ute"
Ae will take a 5atholic ceetery, for instance, and in order that the

who belie!e in the 5atholic faith a bisho# ust sanctify this earth
and consecrate it before it is Ft to conceal the body of one of the

return to earth that it would ha!e to be consecrated by a huan
being, as any an or woan of intelligence knows full well that what
the %ord our God has ade cannot be i#ro!ed u#on by the idiotic
chant and su#erstitious rant of a 5atholic bisho#"
It atters not how godly nor how #iously a Protestant ay ha!e li!ed,
5atholicis teaches that it is an aboination to bury a Protestant in
a 5atholic ceetery, and one of her laws is that to bury a heretic
Owhich eans ProtestantP in a 5atholic ceetery is unlawful, and the
5atholic Po#es instruct that the reains of any Protestant buried in
a 5atholic ceetery shall, if they can be distinguished, be reo!ed,
and if they can not be distinguished, that the ceetery shall be
cleansed by s#rinkling holy water o!er the ground, and bear in ind
that this holy water is to recei!e its cleansing #ower fro soe
#riest or bisho#, who #erha#s is as ioral as hell"
In 5anada, soe tie since, the laws of that country forcibly
e=ected the burial of a Protestant in a 5atholic ceetery, and the
bisho# of that diocese, by the nae of Bourget, declared that #ortion
of the ceetery as ?Qdesecrated and FlthyQ? and forbade any #riest
to ste# his foot u#on the ground"
;ow, do you e@#ect an institution which teaches such doctrines to
ele!ate a nation abo!e their own doctrineN If you do, you are
e@#ecting soething unreasonable, and if the inhabitants of 5uba,
Porto (ico and the Phili##ine Islands are not to be ele!ated abo!e
such aboinations can the future hold anything for the but iseryN
There is but one thing that beats a bisho#Cs consecration of a
gra!eyard, and that is oney, and oney onlyI but a few dollars will
turn the trick and will o#en u# the ground in a 5atholic ceetery for
a heretic, and enough oney will turn the entire ceetery into a
Protestant gra!eyard"
In the 5ity of 6t" %ouis there is a 5atholic ceetery called
?5al!ary,? and lots twel!e feet sHuare are sold at fro RJ- to R1,---
each" ' lot was bought by a Protestant whose son died and who was
ba#tiGed in his last hour by a 5atholic nurse" Ahile his #eo#le were
Protestants, they consented, since he had been ba#tiGed into the
5atholic 5hurch, that they would gi!e hi a 5atholic burial, and a
#riest by the nae of Aard #erfored the cereony" ;ow, bear in
ind
that the father of this young an had bought a lot large enough for
his whole faily to be buried there, when they should die, as he, of
course, wanted his entire faily to be buried together, but the
5atholic 5hurch would not consent to consecrate any #art of that lot
but the gra!e in which the young an was buried that was ba#tiGed on
his death bed, si#ly because the reainder of the faily were
ProtestantsI but for oney they consecrated a #ortion of this lot,
four feet wide and si@ and one$half feet long, but the reainder of
this lot was not consecrated, therefore you will see that oney in
the 5atholic 5hurch has as uch #ower to consecrate the earth as
doth
the bisho#ric and #riestcraft"
'h, what aboinationsS but still this Go!ernent e@#ects 5uba, Porto
(ico and the Phili##ine Islands to be ele!ated to the standard of
anhood and woanhood by this class of ghouls"
;ow, if we could halt with the recital of only a few aboinations, y
task, #erha#s, would not be so disgusting, but had I the endurance to
li!e on, until I were a thousand years old, and could write what I
know and ha!e e@#erienced in the ranks of 5atholicis, I would be
unable to #ortray to the reader all of her aboinations"
The 5atholic 5hurch is a church of show and glaor, and of
nonsensical doctrines, and not a church of God and of holy worshi#"
*any belie!e that 5atholicis has taught all of her cungerings for
centuries #ast, and this is the case, but bear in ind, that
5atholicis often has to ha!e new ?fakes,? in order to ake the oney
slide out of the #ockets of their ?du#es? ore easily, so they get u#
new intrigues and odern shows for this #ur#ose, and the fake that
works the best is the one that they work the hardest, as I solenly
declare that the 5atholic 5hurch as a whole is a oney #ro#osition
u#on the #art of those who teach her aboinations, and I further
declare that it is a ?graft? concei!ed by inds that are ore cunning
and dece#ti!e than any class of en u#on the face of the whole earth"
The 5atholic 5hurch changes its for of worshi# like chea# cho#
houses change their bills of fare, as they are after ?suckers,? and
if one bait will not get the, they throw out another, and the #o#
and show of the church is to catch the eye and not to sa!e the soul"
;ot long since, the 5atholic 5hurch, with singular de!otion, turned
its attention to the F!e wounds of 5hrist, and iediately after
gi!ing these F!e wounds their solicitous attention, they bade their
followers to ha!e recourse to the sacred heart of 9esus, and in
hundreds of 5atholic 5hurches you will Fnd to$day a statue ade in
the likeness of 5hrist, with a heart attached o!er the breast, and
this heart is illuinated by electricity or candle, and the followers
of 5atholicis absolutely worshi# this echanis of an, and it has
#ro!en a great drawing card, and you can rest assured that
5atholicis is #ushing the schee along good and hard, and ?The 6t"
'nthony Bread Bo@? hoa@ is another schee that is not !ery old, but
which the 5atholic 5hurch has found to be another great #aying
in!estent, and they are working ?6t" 'nthony? for all that he is
worth"
;ow, can any an or woan of intelligence belie!e that the
inhabitants of these islands can e!er e@#ect to becoe en and
woen
of a=airs$$en and woen of indi!iduality$$and en and woen of
intellectualityN If you can gi!e a rational reason why these
countries should e!er e@#ect to be ele!ated to the standard of
greatness under such inMuences and under the tutelage of such an
institution, then the road to greatness ust be a !ery easy one to
tra!el"
The 5atholic 5hurch is conducted on about the sae #rinci#le as )unCs
and BradstreetCs ercantile agencies, as they go into the inutest
detail to kee# record of the a=airs of the country, so that they ay
know the weakest as well as the strongest #oints of their creed, so
that they ay at all ties be #re#ared to e@ercise the greatest
inMuence at the #ro#er tie, and what akes this creed so dangerous,
is that they i#ress u#on their du#es that the church is ?eternal
law,? and they hold out the crown of glory on high as a reward for
following their doctrine, and this is the ost dangerous and danable
schee e!er #er#etrated by ortal, for when you force a an or
woan
to belie!e that you hold in your hands their future destiny, you ha!e
the to the #oint where you can force the to do your bidding, and
this is e@actly what 5atholicis does to her followers, and this is
the reason why 5uba, Porto (ico and the Phili##ine Islands can ne!er
e@#ect to go higher in the scale of orality and intellectuality
than they are at the #resent tie, if the Go!ernent of the :nited
6tates #erits this troo# of ghouls to continue to be their asters"
Ae belie!e that we ha!e in this cha#ter ade, it #lain to the reader
why the inMuence of 5atholicis should be reotely reo!ed fro
these islands, and if I a right, the Go!ernent of the :nited 6tates
is e!erlastingly wrong in #eritting 5atholicis to retain her hold
u#on the throats of the inhabitants of these islands, and I
undoubtedly a right, as I know whereof I s#eak, as I ha!e trod the
dece#ti!e road of 5atholicis for the #ast thirty years, and I dare
not tell in this book all that I know of her cunning in regard to
these far$away countries, as I would ha!e to use language so #lain
that I could not e@#ect this !olue to #ass through the ails, as the
#riestcraft in 5uba, Porto (ico and the Phili##ine Islands are an
ioral set, as a whole, and treat the feale #o#ulation of these
islands in a anner that breeds iorality fro generation to
generation, and the awful #art of this iorality is that those who
coit it with the #riestcraft do not consider that it is a wrong, as
they ha!e been taught that it is no sin to do as the #riestcraft
deands, therefore it is ten thousand ties worse than if the sin was
coitted with the knowledge of the fact that it was a sin, as the
other or father who is aware of the fact that they are sinners will
not teach their o=s#ring to coit the sins that they are guilty of,
but when they are not aware of the fact that they are coitting a
sin, of course, they allow their children to belie!e that their
actions are in harony with the teachings of God, therefore this
danable #ractice goes on and on, fro generation to generation, and
this is why the orals, intelligence and #rogress of 5uba, Porto (ico
and the Phili##ine Islands, are to$day on the sae #lane of de#ra!ity
as they were centuries ago, and no one is to blae for this carnality
and debauchery of the inhabitants of these islands but the (oan
5atholic 5hurch, and until the Go!ernent of the :nited 6tates shall
declare and back u# her declaration by Protestant anhood, the
inhabitants of these islands will ne!er know of the beauties of
chastity and orality and the wonderful blessings that are held in
store for the by ebracing Protestantis"
*ay the %ord of Hosts hasten the day when the eyes of those who rule
in Protestant 'erica ay be o#ened to the awful sins they are
coitting, by allowing (oanis to ho!er o!er these islands with her
!ulturous and carni!orous a##etite of de#ra!ity, and ay the tie
soon coe when the Go!ernent of the :nited 6tates shall #roclai to
the Batican at (oe that this !eil of aboination shall be lifted
fro the inhabitants of these islandsI and when this is done, the
goddess of liberty that has ade Protestant 'erica what she is
to$day, will ho!er o!er these far$away islands of the sea, and new
life will #ulsate in the !eins of these (oish$ridden countries"

*onasteries 're 8ften the 'bode of 5riinals, and
;unneries the 6laughter Pens of Birtue"
Ahen I was li!ing beneath the folds of the black banner of
5atholicis, I sincerely and de!outly belie!ed that to shield a
5atholic criinal was a righteous and Godly calling, as I belie!ed
that to #re!ent the ci!il law fro taking hold of the criinal career
of a 5atholic oEcial, for his short$coings, was but an act of
Godly justice"
I also belie!ed that anything that was done between the walls of a
;unnery was sanctiFed by the a##ro!al of those who were higher in
authority in the 5atholic 5hurch than yselfI therefore, the things
which I now realiGe are both criinal and ioral, as well as utterly
detestable, I at one tie considered righteous, si#ly because y
education had been conFned to the narrow channels of bigotry, and
the e=ulgency of Biblical knowledge had ne!er #enetrated y
(oish$ins#ired #erce#tibilities"
I belie!e that I will ake any assertions in this cha#ter that ha!e
ne!er been ade before, but there will not be an assertion ade but
what is trueI howe!er, there will be any that will arise fro the
trenches of 5atholicis to denounce the truthfulness of the, but I
know whereof I s#eak, and I defy any ortal an to successfully
dis#ute what I ay state"
This cha#ter will relate to onasteries and nunneries, which in olden
ties were called ?asylus"?
These asylus are used by 5atholicis to scuTe criinals of their
following into, in deFance of law and justice, as these asylus are
notorious aong those who are on the inside workings of this creed,
as to #laces where 5atholic criinals can be concealed without fear
of ha!ing the ci!il law bring the to justice, as these #laces are a
retreat for 5atholic criinals who are #ursued by the inisters of
justice, and where, so long as they reain, they cannot be arrestedI
but in order to ele!ate these ?asylus? to the #lane of religion,
they, are called by di=erent naes which are QisnoersQ, and are
only raised to the le!el of religious institutions to co!er u# the
infay of their actual issions, as 5atholicis has learned that as
long as she can throw around and about herself a religious glaor,
that she is #eritted to go ahead and !iolate the laws of an without
olestation"
The ?asylus? of olden ties were intended as retreats for those who
were #ersecuted for their religious belief, but the ission of these
institutions becae useless, under the s#lendid and godly #rogress of
Protestantis, as Protestantis #lanted her banner of enlightenent
under the glorious leadershi# of *artin %uther, and such institutions
were done away with, but 5atholicis turned these asylus, which
were
once a #rotection to the #ersecuted followers of 5hrist, and
con!erted the into an abode for 5atholic criinals"
There is scarcely a an or woan in 'erica but what has heard of
A" *organ, who li!ed at Bata!ia, in Aestern ;ew York, who, it was
claied, wrote an e@#ose of Freeasonry, and who, the 5atholic
5hurch
clais, was killed by the *asonic fraternity for writing this e@#ose"
The fact of the atter is that this book was #re#ared by the 5atholic
5hurch for electioneering #ur#oses, and it ser!ed their schee well
and truly"
It is history that *organ disa##eared !ery suddenly, and the 5atholic
5hurch ga!e it out that he had been killed by the *asonic fraternity,
which is untrue, as A" *organ was s#irited away, and the trick was
turned by 5atholicis"
?A" *organ? becae the issue for the ca#aign, and it was narrated
around that *organ was con!eyed in a carriage fro Bata!ia to
;iagara
by Freeasons, and there drowned in %ake 8ntario"
' body was #roduced near the outh of the ;iagara (i!er, but a friend
of A" *organ, who knew hi well, by the nae of *rs" A" G" Barr,
denied that the body that was found at the outh of the ;iagara
(i!er, was that of *organ, and a de!out 5atholic rearked at the
#ost$orte e@aination that ?It was a good enough *organ until
after
the election"?
' rigid in!estigation was ade and no one was e!er con!icted of
urdering *organ"
The result of the election was that 5atholicis carried her #oint"
The 5atholic 5hurch had turned by this e@citeent the eyes of the
world towards Freeasonry, and claied that *organCs fate was
caused
by the *asonic fraternity"
Ahen I cae to 'erica, I was gi!en instructions in regard to secret
societies, and the *organ case was gone o!er with e in detail, and I
was gi!en ?The Bulls? of three #o#es, which e@cluded all ebers of
Freeasons fro the 5atholic 5hurch, and all who belonged to the
*asonic fraternity were denied e!en a 5hristian burial by the
5atholic 5hurch"
I was told by a #riest, who was in good standing, that the *asons had
in their eetings a literal de!il concealed in a bo@, and that when
they would eet, they would stick #ins in a #icture of soe su##osed
?traitor? and shriek out in their adness& ?)ie like *organS?
*rs" A" G" Barr was called to identify the su##osed body of A"
*organ, which was found at the outh of the ;iagara (i!er"
Her husband, A" G" Barr, was an old dry goods an and once ran for
go!ernor of the 6tate of <ansas, but was defeated because his wife
had declared ?that A" *organCs body had ne!er been disco!ered at
the
outh of the ;iagara (i!er, and further declared that it was a
Cfake,C #ure and si#le, and gotten u# by 5atholicis in order to
!illify the *asonic fraternity"?
I had always been of an in!estigating turn of ind, and the stories
that were told to e in regard to A" *organ did not sound right, so
I took the train for To#eka, <ans", where *rs" A" G" Barr li!ed, and
this is the story that she related to e in great eotion&
*rs" Barr told e that she was a friend of A" *organ, and that she
was called to identify his body, but instead of Fnding the cor#se of
A" *organ, on the seashore, she found the body of soe one else
and
not that of *organ, and she further told e that A" *organ, before
his disa##earance, had written her that he was #ersuaded by a nuber
of 5atholic #riests to lea!e the *asons, and that he, to his sorrow,
had followed their ad!ice, and that these #riests had written a book,
and insisted that he should #ublish it, but he ne!er did gi!e his
consent, and stated that he ne!er wouldI howe!er, the book a##eared,
and the fact of the atter is that it was a clusy forgery by the
#riestcraft of 5atholicis"
This book a##eared in #rint, and A" *organ becae frightened, as
he
realiGed that should the country at large belie!e that he was the
author of this book, he would be considered as a traitor, and he
becae frightened and did not know what to do, and about this tie
two 5atholic #riests a##roached hi, and #ersuaded hi to lea!e the
country, and they took hi to ?a Tra##ist onastery,? near *ontreal,
5anada"
He reained there Huite a tie, and left 5anada and went to 'sia, and
he was seen and identiFed in 'sia years after 5atholicis had
declared that he had been urdered by the *asonic fraternity"
I do not reeber of e!er reading this history before, and I a under
the i#ression that I a the Frst an$$in fact, I know that I a the
Frst an who was for thirty years a 5atholic #riest that e!er ga!e
this inforation to the #ublic"
;ow, if a onastery in 5anada would be turned into a lie and a
dece#tion in order that the 5atholic 5hurch ight carry out her
diabolical and cunning schees, what can we e@#ect of other
onasteriesN
If this history attaches itself to a onastery like that in 5anada,
what ust be the condition of the onasteries and nunneries of
nations which ha!e not the enlightenent that 5anada hasN
I desire to call to the attention of the reader a little history that
is not e@ceedingly old, and which e!ery boy and girl is acHuainted
with, as it has trans#ired in the #ast ten years$$yea, later"
It was in the afternoon of a )eceber day, in 1D--" ' boy, Edward
5udahy, 9r", was walking to his fatherCs ansion and was in!ited to
ste# into a buggy and was infored that he was under arrest" This
boy was then and there abducted, and this abduction becae known
by
the boy reaining away fro his hoe that night"
The #olice and detecti!es of 8aha and the detecti!es fro 5hicago
and other cities were busy on the case day and night" )ays and weeks
#assed and nothing cae to light e@ce#t letters fro the ones who had
kidna##ed this boy, asking for a ranso of R+J,---, and stating that
if this su of oney in gold was not forthcoing, that the boyCs eyes
would be #ut out and he would fore!er lose his sight"
This last threat startled the #oor, heart$broken other, and as the
tie a##roached for these de!ils to #ut into e@ecution their threat,
this #oor frantic other insisted that her illionaire husband,
Edward 5udahy, 6r", gi!e u# the R+J,--- and sa!e her #recious boyCs
eyesight"
Her husband resisted as long as he could, but at last took the
R+J,--- in gold and ste##ed into his buggy, with the signal lantern,
and dro!e to a certain s#ot, designated by Pat 5row, who is the one
who abducted 5udahy, and with this R+J,--- bought his boyCs liberty,
and this boy was brought fro that cottage on Gro!er street, unhurt,
and Pat 5row ade away with his R+J,--- in gold"
5udahy was called u# a nuber of ties by tele#hone and was
threatened that if he did not withdraw the reward that he was
o=ering for Pat 5rowCs arrest that there would be soething awful
befall hiI but he resisted and would not withdraw his o=er of
reward, conseHuently this ade it necessary for Pat 5row and Eddy
*cGehee, alias Burns, to lea!e the country"
These en were known in 8aha, 6t" 9oe, <ansas 5ity, 6t" %ouis and
5hicago, not only by a nuber of their ilk, but also to the #olice
forces, conseHuently the nets of the law were stretched all o!er the
:nited 6tates for these abductors"
8n )eceber +2 it was re#orted fro %a 6alle, Ills", that Pat 5row
was arrested" <ansas 5ity #olice #roised his arrest before sunset,
but he was not arrested"
There were 2-,---,--- #eo#le looking for Pat 5row, but he took a
Pullan slee#er and tra!eled to ;ew York, and fro there sailed on a
Frst$class ticket for Euro#e and s#ent a good tie in %ondon, fro
whence he went to 6outh 'frica and #layed a dece#ti!e role in the
English$'frican war"
;ow, I a going to relate soething that will ake oneCs blood boil
with indignation and the cold sweat stand out with the clainess of
death, but what I tell you is true"
Priest )e#sey, #astor of 6t" PatrickCs 5hurch in 6t" %ouis, was
#resident of the ?Eet? celebration in the year 1D-+"
'fter a s#eech by 9udge (yan of 6t" %ouis, and a ost eloHuent
address by a #riest, who had been a young Boer oEcer, he ins#ired
Irish #atriotis by an elegant a##eal against ?8ld England"? He was
indeed an orator who, by his recitation, held the audience for an
hour" I was one who was nearest to hi on the #latfor and
congratulated hi on his #owerful s#eech"
'fter the a##lause fro his Irish friends, as he had called the, he
decided to lea!e with e for his hotel, and I was sto##ing at 6t"
PatrickCs #arsonage, so we both had to go in the sae direction"
I had becoe interested in the fellow while he was deli!ering his
s#eech and I becae uch ore interested in hi in our car ride,
together, to the %indell Hotel, and he in!ited e to sto# o= with
hi awhile at the %indell Hotel, and we were soon engaged in all
kinds of discussions, both religious and #olitical" He was a
?)utchan? and had asked his go!ernent of Holland for a lea!e of
absence to Fght in the Boer war, which was granted hi, and to #ro!e
the truthfulness of this assertion he showed e a wound on his breast
which had not yet healed"
He rearked that he cae ?nearly? telling in his address at the
?Eet? eeting about the iraculous esca#e of Pat 5row to 6outh
'frica, and stated that if it had not been for the bad i#ression Pat
5row had ade in 'erica, he would ha!e told of the trick that had
been turned to gain hi his freedo and rob soe one in 'erica of
the reward that had been #ut on his head by *illionaire 5udahy"
The following is his story he told e as near as I can reeber it&
?8ne night I was in 9ohannesburg, 6outh 'frica, and stayed with Pat
5row in the sae roo" I knew that it was Pat 5row and did not intend
to ha!e uch to do with hi, but he noticed e and I becae
interested in hi, and he s#oke to e about atters, and the
illionaireCs boy being abducted, and the ranso that he recei!ed,
and his esca#e to 'frica"
?He rearked that I would realiGe fro his nae that he was an Irish
5atholic, and stated that he had gone through the 5atholic schools
and was a CbrotherC in the cloisters, and stated that this was his
strong #oint in ne!er being caught in his daring undertakings"
?He stated that when they recei!ed their R+J,--- ranso fro 5udahy
that it was di!ided at the cottage where the crie was coitted" He
stated that it cost hi Huite a su of oney to stay with friends a
few days in 8aha, but that he soon disguised hiself as an inate of
the 9esuit 5ollege, a school for 5atholic boys"
?He stated that he tra!eled on a C#eritC as Father 8C5onnor to
<ansas 5ity, and stated that fro there he went to 6t" %ouis,
disguised as a 5atholic #riest, and that the conductors on the train
s#oke to hi as CHow do you do, FatherNC
?Ahen I arri!ed in 6t" %ouis I went to 6t" 'nthonyCs 5hurch, where
you can obtain ost anything fro that saint" I rang the bell for
confession" I confessed all kinds of things" I confessed to urder,
robbery, kidna##ing, and the Father 5onfessor was i#ressed with e
because I was a Cbig FshC in y line, and because I had done no har
to the illionaireCs boy" I told the inates of 6t" 'nthonyCs 5hurch
that I wanted to ake confession and do #enance the reainder of y
life"
?' brother cae with the scissors and I recei!ed the CtonsureC for
the third tie, which left only a circle of hair around y head, and
no Pinkerton detecti!e, or e!en Bertillion hiself could ha!e
identiFed e"
?In a short tie I left this 6t" 'nthony 5hurch in a C5atholic
Habit,C which disguised e as a 5atholic oEcial, and I went to
8aha and #assed yself o= as CBrother 5leent fro 6t" %ouis"C
?Ahen I reached 8aha I had no trouble in #assing yself o= as
CBrother 5leent"C
?'fter I had reained there awhile I e@cused yself and in y
#riestly robes I walked to the banks of the *issouri (i!er and raised
y buried treasure, as I had left a #art of the oney that I recei!ed
fro 5udahy buried near the ri!er, and I took the train to 6t" %ouis,
and fro there to ;ew York, and fro ;ew York I took a Geran
steaer
to 6outha#ton"
?I stayed in %ondon two weeks and read in the #a#ers all about Pat
5row" %ondon was not the #lace for a an like e, as I had been there
before, and they knew eI so I sailed for the diaond Felds of 6outh
'frica, where I a now free, by the syste of CasylusC Owhich are
5atholic onasteriesP of the 5atholic 5hurch" Pat 5row wound u# his
story by telling e that if I e!er needed to try this #lan that I
could do it, and stated that the 5atholic 5hurch was the refuge of
criinals"?
;ow, bear in ind, the reason that the 5atholic 5hurch is such a
refuge for criinals is because no #olice or detecti!e is e!er
allowed to cross o!er the door$sills into these #laces of 5atholic
refuge, where the worst cha#ters of crie ne!er will be told, and
where these criinals Mee to a!oid the #unishent of their cries"
This is the Frst tie in the history of the world that this awful
history in regard to Pat 5row and 5atholicis was e!er gi!en to the
reading #ublic"
5atholicis teaches, and acts accordingly, that if a confessor
forgi!es the sins of these criinals that God has taken away all
guilt fro their heinous cries and that the ci!il laws ha!e no right
to #unish these criinals after a 5atholic #riest has forgi!en their
sins, and on this danable doga, 5atholicis bases her right for the
e@istence of these ?asylus"?
I want to gi!e the reader a little history in regard to the
assassination of 'braha %incoln" Ailkes Booth, a (oan 5atholic, was
the assassin of President %incoln" The (oan 5atholic 5hurch, under
the ask of )eocracy, was always belie!ed to be res#onsible for
this diabolical assassination" In fact, it is belie!ed, and the
belief is well founded, that through the ?inHuisition? in the 5ity of
(oe that a #lot was laid to destroy the re#ublican for of
go!ernent of the :nited 6tates, and the assassination of 'braha
%incoln was the Frst ste#, and the #lotting on this side of the
water was done in 5atholic houses, adorned with cruciF@es, religious
saints, religious statues, religious relics, and rosaries, sca#ulars,
holy water #ots, and edals of 5atholicis innuerable"
It was in the house of *rs" 6urratt, located in the !ery heart of
Aashington, )"5", that the oEcers of this go!ernent #roceeded
after the assassination of President %incoln, and bear in ind that
*rs" 6urratt was a (oan 5atholic, and the occu#ants of this house
were arrested" The ones who were arrested wereI *rs" 6urratt, a
(oan
5atholicI her daughter, 'nna, a (oan 5atholicI *rs" FitG#atrick, a
(oan 5atholic, and *iss Hollahan, a (oan 5atholic" Before the
oEcers had left this house a light knock was heard at the door and
a young an a##eared in disguise, as he was dressed as a coon
laborer and carried a #ick u#on his shoulderI his hands were white
and soft and he was also arrested, and his nae was Powell, another
(oan 5atholic"
9ohn Ailkes Booth, the assassin, was a (oan 5atholic, conseHuently
the belief is undoubtedly well founded that not only the schee to
assassinate 'braha %incoln was laid in the 5ity of (oe by (oan
5atholics, but was carried into e@ecution by the sae set in this
country"
Booth, after the assassination, Med to 6urratts!ille to the hotel of
*rs" 6urratt, and there a (oan 5atholic woan had concealed a
carbine" *r" 6urratt, at Aashington, had warned the folks at the
hotel that the wea#on would be called for the night of 'braha
%incolnCs assassination, which is Q#ria facieQ e!idence of the #lot
to assassinate %incoln" 'fter the assassination Booth Med, but on
the eastern shores of the Potoac he was concealed in a (oan
5atholic 5hurch for nearly a week" 's we relate this history, which
is true, the e!idence becoes ore daaging against (oan
5atholicis"
The Fnale of this national tragedy was that Herald, Powell and *rs"
6urratt were hung, and )r" *udd and 8C%aughlin were coitted to
life$long i#risonent, and all of these were (oan 5atholics"
The Huestion now arises, How did 9ohn H" 6urratt esca#e fro the
sae
fate of Herald, Powell and *rs" 6urrattN QI will tell youSQ 9ohn H"
6urratt esca#ed by the assistance of 5atholic oEcials and went to
5anada, and was concealed in a ?Tra##ist cloister? near *ontreal, and
reained there until 12.J, when, as a Priest, he went to %i!er#ool"
In the s#ring of 12.., *r" A" H" 6eward was infored by a *r" <ing,
at (oe, Italy, that 9ohn H" 6urratt had enlisted in the Pa#al
Guards, under the nae of 9ohn Aatson" He was arrested at Teroli, in
Italy, but esca#ed by #lunging down a ra!ine twenty$three feet dee#"
He was wounded by the fall and crawled o= to a onastery and
reained there until he was healed and then resued his Might"
'fter his wounds healed, he went to Egy#t, as he was not satisFed
with Italy, and was there ca#tured by our inister, *r" Hale, and
sent to 'erica"
I could go on and on, gi!ing you history of lesser i#ortance that
this, which occurs week in and week out, onth in and onth out, and
year in and year out, and which is strictly connected with the
5atholic 5hurch, but what I ha!e gi!en you are truths, and
indis#utable truths, which should be e!idence enough of the awfulness
of onasteries of this and other countries, and a class of en who
will coit such dastardly deeds in the onasteries would not
hesitate to slaughter innocent !irtue in the nunneries of this
country"
I could gi!e you history in regard to the nunneries that would ake
the cheek of !irtue blush with shae, but to gi!e you this history I
would ha!e to use language that I do not desire to use, as I want to
kee# the inds and orals of the girls of this country as #ure as
#ossibleI but fro this cha#ter, Protestant fathers and others ust
know what (oan 5atholicis consists of, and 5atholic fathers and
others who are not e!erlastingly blinded by the false light of this
danable creed should rally fro their lethargetic walks of
debauchery and snatch their children fro the (oish ire of
degradation and #lace the u#on the Protestant highways, which lead
to the beauties of indi!idual and collecti!e greatness"

:n$*arried 5ussedness of the (oan Priest$5raft"
In the Book of Books, we Fnd that the %ord of Hosts declares that,
?It is not good for an to dwell alone,? and our Hea!enly Father also
teaches us that ?E!ery an should ha!e one wife"?
;ow, the Good %ord was either right or wrong when He ade this
declaration, and who is there that would declare that the %ord was
istaken in His injunctionN ;ot oneS Therefore, we ust acknowledge
that either the %ord our God ade a declaration that was nonsensical
and unreasonable, or else the (oan Priestcraft is li!ing a life
which is diagonally contrary to the coands and deands of God
'lighty, for when the (oan 5hurch declares that her Priests shall
not wed, they at once set u# a rule for their teachers which is in
!iolation, to not only the laws of God, but laws of an, as the
silent whis#erings of anCs nature deands a hel#ate" The heathen
nations of the earth who are not acHuainted with the sanctity of the
arriage !ow, ha!e a longing for the co#anionshi# of the o##osite
se@, and this longing cannot be tered anything but ?a godly lo!e,?
as this feeling was #laced in the boso of huanity by a di!ine
being, and whene!er this desire is thwarted, you ha!e disturbed the
ost blissful ins#iration of the huan failyI but the (oan 5atholic
5hurch would ha!e us belie!e that a few of the huan faily ha!e
been
ordained by God to li!e recluses, or, as we ay ter it, ?unarried
herits"?
5atholicis, with all her danable dogas and creeds, cannot change
that God$gi!en i#ulse that was #lanted in the boso of an, when
'da was created in the Garden of Eden, and the ore (oan
5atholicis endea!ors to eradicate that feeling, the greater her sins
becoe, for it is a ost danable sin to try to force an to
eradicate fro his boso this e!erlasting and godly cra!ing for the
lo!e of the o##osite se@, and as long as ?an is born of woan,? just
so long that ins#iration will li!e in the boso of ankind, and just
so long as (oan 5atholicis endea!ors to force huanity to #urge
itself of this blessed longing, just so long the ark of dece#tion,
de#ra!ity and ungodliness will be left u#on the brow of this (oish
deon"
This cha#ter is one that ust be written in a delicate anner, which
#rohibits e fro becoing e#hatic and e@#licit, for should I allow
yself to write e@actly what I ha!e seen, and the truths that e@ist
in regard to (oish hellishness, and the deeds of the unarried
cussedness of 5atholicis, I would ha!e to resort to language that
would be unchaste, but I ha!e in ind a story that was told soe tie
ago, by a young lady, who had s#ent a nuber of years in a con!ent,
which I will relate word for word as she ga!e it, and which will be
only the history o!er and o!er again of thousands$$yea, tens of
thousands of girls who ha!e had the sae e@#erience as this #oor
ortal, only #erha#s had new agonies added to their li!es"
The history of this girlCs life in a con!ent is ore than #athetic,
fro the fact that her father on his deathbed reHuested that she be
#laced in a con!ent by her other, which was done, and her
su=erings, the reader will see, were not a fault of hers, but the
fault of her #arents, who had been raised to belie!e in the
diabolical teachings of (oan 5atholicis, but who did not know that
these teachings were only echoes of the dark ages of #aganis,
therefore you will see that this #oor girlCs history is laden with a
sadness for which she is not to blae, and the fault can only be laid
at the fountain head, as her #arents were sincere in their belief,
and did not, of course, realiGe that they were hel#ing to ruin their
darling girlCs future"
I will now relate her history, as near as #ossible, the way she ga!e
it, which will be sybolic of the history of thousands of other
girls, and which is absolutely true" Her story follows&
?Ahen one becoes an inate of a con!ent, they becoe a #risoner,
as
e!ery act is scrutiniGed by the other su#erior, and you ha!e no
#ri!ilege any ore than if you were a con!ict and #laced behind the
bars for soe heinous crie" Aith this e@ce#tion, howe!er, you are
allowed to recei!e letters fro a #riest without ha!ing the letter
o#ened and read before it reaches you, as there is always soe ark
to distinguish a letter recei!ed fro a #riest, but all letters that
you write and all letters that you recei!e, unless they bear the ark
indicating that they ha!e been sent by a #riest, are carefully read,
and if the contents of either the letter you write, or the one that
has been written to you does not eet with the arbitrary o#inion of
the ?other su#erior,? they are destroyed, and you ne!er ha!e the
o##ortunity of sending the one that you ha!e written, or to recei!e
the one that has been written to you, unless they can #ass the
ins#ection of the ?other su#erior,? who is nothing ore nor less
than an agent of the Po#e of (oe, as she recei!es her instructions
fro the #riestcraft, and they recei!e their instructions fro the
Po#e of (oe"?
Ahen an inate of a con!ent recei!es a letter fro a #riest it is
handed her without being o#ened, as the ?other su#erior? is
instructed not to o#en such letters, and is told that all such
letters, of course, relate to the s#iritual welfare of the nun"
In these letters the #riest will tell the nun what day he will call
to gi!e her a Qgeneral confessionQ" 's soon as such a letter is
recei!ed the nun infors the ?other su#erior? that on a certain day
Priest 6o$and$6o will !isit her, and, of course, this ?other
su#erior? gi!es the #erission, and on the day that the #riest is to
arri!e, this nun is e@cused fro all duties for that day, and when
the #riest arri!es he is shown into what is called the Q(etreat
ParlorQI and no atter how long he reains there, no one will disturb
hi" He is su##osed to be QtalkingQ with his #enitent on the welfare
of her soul" 'h, could any one look through the door, they would Fnd
this #riest with his ars about the for of this fair #enitent, or
#erha#s in a far ore co#roising #ositionS
(ight here the reader ay ask if these nuns are willing to subit to
the ebraces of these #riestsN
I will allow this girl to answer this Huestion in her own language,
and her answer is this&
?I answer that in Ffteen out of twenty cases$$;oS But she is there
hel#lessI the #riest has seen her soewhere in the garb of a nun and
has taken a fancy to her, and whether she be willing or not, he
co#els her to allow hi to satisfy his hellish #assionS?
This girl continues by e@claiing& ?8h GodS Great GodS Ahen I think
of this syste$$this syste born of the de!il and nurtured by
hell$$and realiGe that under the cloak of religion it is stealing
away our liberty, entering into our hoes, ruining our woanhood and
girlhood, and #ainting childish #urity with the brush of iorality,
and deFling e!erything with which it coes in contact, I then becoe
a ad woan, and I becoe as a !enoous ser#ent, wanting re!enge
for
what has been done to e, and it sees as if I cannot reain Huiet,
but, closing y eyes and ears to e!erything, as I ha!e no redress, I
a co#elled to warn thousands who ay coe after e, of their
fate,
should they take u# con!ent life, which is a hell u#on earth and a
blotch as black as the shadows of hell to any land"?
The sae lady who related the abo!e, and a great deal ore which I
cannot tell in this cha#ter, ga!e an account of the su=erings of
another nun, who was in the sae con!ent with her, and I now learn
that the sae story that I will now relate has been told to others"
(eader, you ust bear in ind that con!ents ha!e any tortures
outside of the torturing conscience on account of ha!ing the !irtue
of their inates destroyed" The teachings of 5atholicis lead #eo#le
to #ractice self$inMiction u#on their #erson in order to a##ease a
li!ing God, as they see to worshi# a li!ing God the sae as the
#agans would worshi# a God of stone, or a ferocious God in the for
of soe carni!orous beast, and in order to atone for their sins,
these inates of the nunneries are taught that they ust bear
self$inMictionI in fact, 5atholicis teaches her followers that in
order that any of the shall recei!e absolute #ardon, that they ust
resort to heathenish #ractices"
's stated abo!e, the sae lady who we s#eak of in the Frst #art of
this cha#ter, relates her e@#erience with a sister nun, who endured
self$torture, belie!ing that it was an outward deonstration of
godliness" Her story follows&
?I call to ind a case of cruelty under the guise of de!otion that
ha##ened in our con!ent" ' consecrated #enitent, 6ister *adeline, had

her as she tried to eat the bread and dri##ing we had for su##er"
Failing in the atte#t, I would notice the tears gather in her eyes"

?I took u# the book and did as she reHuested" 6oon she fell into a

her whis#er, C*y feetS oh, y feetSC I arose fro y chair and
reo!ed the sheet with the intention of rubbing her libsI as I did
so her feet were disclosed" ' thrill of horror #assed through y

bruisedI a fearful sus#icion took #ossession of e, and, stoo#ing
down, I #icked u# her inFrary shoes" 8n e@aination I disco!ered in
the #ieces of broken glassI a thrill akin to horror ran through y
whole frae" I held the shoes in y hands and looked at the #ale,
su=ering face of 'deline as she lay there on her bed, and this
e!ening the whole scene rises before e$$the little inFrary with
its clean, white Moor, a few chea# #rints of the stations of the
cross hanging on the otherwise bare walls, the two or three sall
iron bedsteads, then the white wooden altar u#on which was s#read a
white linen cloth ebroidered with redI the two statues, one of C8ur
%ady of )oloursC and the second of 6t" 9ose#h, the #atron of ha##y
deaths" In the center of the altar was a !ase with a few chea# #a#er
Mowers"
?Yes, it coes to e ost !i!idly" There she lay, the sin of her
#ast life being that she, too, had been decei!ed at the altars of
(oe$$a !icti of #riestly solicitation in the confessional" E!en as
she lay there in the last stages of consu#tion, traces of what had
at one tie been a beautiful face were clearly discernible" Ahat had
she not su=ered for yearsS Aho could tell the any weary hours of
heart anguish she had #assed throughN 'nd yet she was young$$hardly
twenty$F!e years old" 6he had gi!en u# all that was near and dear,
and, for the years she had li!ed in the con!ent, she had tried to
a##ease GodCs justice for her early sin by ortifying and chastising
herself in a way that can only Fnd a #arallel in the doctrines of
Buddha" 8h, *adelineS #oor, wounded, betrayed oneS Aho can
wonder, as
you lay there with the fe!er of consu#tion running and coursing
through your !eins, that, in s#ite of all the teachings and #ractices
of self$denial in the con!ent life in which you had li!ed so any
years, yet, when the hour of death drew nigh and your soul was
ho!ering on the borders of the unknown eternity, your thoughts once
ore went back to the old hoe$scenes, and you longed, as only a
child can, for the sight of a otherCs face, the sound of a otherCs
!oice, the cool, soothing touch of a otherCs hand #assing o!er your
browN They tried to crush down the natural lo!e that God #laced in
your heart for your other, but they could not" The use of the
disci#line caused the blood to Mow and ga!e you #hysical su=eringI
fasting and long #rayers ade you weak, and thus inca#able of
e@ercising will$#owerI and, when no other eye but GodCs was u#on you,
when struggling with the desire to lea!e fore!er the hateful #rison
walls of the con!ent, the bitter tears forced their way" Then,
kneeling before the statue of the C*other of 6orrows,C you #leaded
with her to hel# and intercede for you" Ahat cofort did you getN
Ahat ho#eN Ahat consolationN Q;oneSQ You ight ake good
confessions
and counions, #ractice all the self$denials reHuired of one in your
!ocation, and the only thing that the church could gi!e you, the only
glea of Qho#eQ she could o=er, was that, through your works of
su#ererogation, your #urgatory would be lessenedI and now, wasted
through su=ering and consu#tion, dreading the #unishent of
#urgatory, endea!oring in your dying state to do soething to lessen
its #angs, you ha!e walked with glass in your shoes and your #oor
feet gi!e e!idence of the agony you endured" 'nd this is
5hristianityS
?I a##lied cold cloths to her feetI I sat down in the dily$lighted
inFrary by the side of her bed, and, holding the fe!ered and
trebling hand, I, in y ignorance, tried to gi!e her soe cofort" I
#roised to reeber her in y intentions, y counions, and at
the
sacriFce of the *ass" I s#oke to her of the ercy and co#assion of
*ary, the C*other of 6orrows,C and tried to gi!e her ho#e by #ointing
to her as ediator between her soul and 5hrist, but I could see that
she recei!ed no satisfaction, no assurance" Then her eyes closed and
she doGed for a few inutes, only to wake with a oan of #ain$$C8h,
y feetS oh, y feetSC 'nd then again, CIf only I could see y
otherSC would issue fro her #arched and cracked li#s"
?'nd so I sat through the night, soothing her as well as I knew how,
and re#eating as#irations for her, until the dawn cre#t in and the
nunsC bell rang out at 3&,- oCclock, arousing the inates" The
Huietness and dee# stillness still reained throughout the
institution, the sisters and #enitents walking in the dily$lighted
cloisters with soft tread and down$cast eyes, as if in the land of
the silent dead and not the li!ing"?
's I write I wonder how it was #ossible for e to endure the #aganis
of 5atholicis for thirty years, and the only rational reason I can
gi!e for this endurance is that I, like thousands of these #oor nuns
who I ha!e just written about, was raised to belie!e that the
teachings of 5atholicis were right and the only road that lead to
eternal gloryI therefore I look with #ity and co#assion u#on those
black$garbed nuns when I behold the tra#ing the streets of our
large cities, as I realiGe that they actually belie!e they are
#erforing GodCs work, when the truth of the atter is that they are
only following the #ractices of heathen nations"
I could go on and write a thousand #ages u#on ?The :narried
5ussedness of the (oan Priestcraft,? and each #age would be as
black
as the shadows of hell, but I dee it unnecessary, as I ha!e
conFdence in those who ay read this book that they will belie!e
e!ery word of what I ha!e written, therefore it is unnecessary for e
to dwell longer u#on the hideousness of celibacy"
In conclusion, I desire to say that so long as (oan 5atholicis
deands that her #riestcraft shall not wed, just so long the
#riestcraft will reain !ultures of !irtue and just so long con!ents
will be turned into carni!als of !ice"
It is only natural that such should be the case, as both the
#riestcraft and the inhabitants of our con!ents are brought u# fro
childhood to belie!e in the absurdities of (oan 5atholicis, and to
belie!e that all of their any sins can be #ardoned by the cungerings
of this (oish doctrine"
*y #rayer is that the go!ernent of the :nited 6tates ay learn in
the near future that the broad light of Protestant ins#ection ust
#enetrate these recesses of darkness before we can e!er ha!e the
cleansed of their iorality, and this ins#ection ust be ade
often, and I sincerely belie!e that the tie is not far distant when
Protestant 'erica will deand that 5atholicis shall do away with
her onasteries and nunneries, unless she subits to a rigid
e@aination of her actions, and whene!er she subits it will be
because she is forced to subit, and whene!er she is forced to do so,
these onasteries and con!ents will be closed u#, as Protestant
'erica will not allow nor #erit these #lague s#ots to e@ist to
#ollute the fair nae of 'erica when she learns of their actual
ission"

sin, neither can he ake a istake" This clai, if true, would #lace
the Po#e of (oe, who is nothing ore nor less than a huan being,
u#on the sae footing as 9esus 5hrist"
The Bible says, ?There are none #ureI no, not one"? ;ow, if the clai
of 5atholicis that the Po#e of (oe is infallible, is true, then the
Bible is a yth and a ockery"
If 5atholicisCs clai that the Po#e of (oe is infallible, is true,
then God is not an i#artial God, for if He is an i#artial God He
would not bestow u#on any of His ortals the gift of #urity, without
being ready to bestow the sae gift u#on all of those who are
deser!ing, and who by their righteousness deser!e this grand and
#rincely distinction"
Ae want to use a little coon sense and a #hiloso#hy that can be
assiilated by any an or woan of ordinary intelligence"
The Bible does not relate in any !erse or cha#ter that any one can
reach the #oint of infallibility during life" ;ow, is not this trueN
'nd if it is, then the clai of 5atholicis that the Po#e of (oe is
infallible is a lie, wo!en in the de!ilCs loo"
Ae want to #ro!e to our readers that this clai is one founded u#on
fallacious grounds, as the Po#e of (oe is elected by the cardinals
of the 5atholic 5hurch, who are huan and who are often as ioral
as
the de!ilI therefore the infallibility of the Po#e rests in huan
hands, for it is by these cardinals that the Po#e is created,
therefore you will see that by the ballot of these cardinals the Po#e
deri!es his infallibility, and not fro any #ower of God 'lighty,
conseHuently this #roclaied infallibility of the Po#e rests in the
hands of these cardinals"
;ow, to illustrate this danable doctrine and show it u# in its rabid
ignorance, we will su##ose that when Po#e Pius L was elected Po#e of
(oe that if soe other #riest had recei!ed a ajority of one of the
!otes of the cardinals, Po#e Pius L would ne!er ha!e had this
blessing fro God, but he would only ha!e issed it one !ote,
therefore you will see that this infallibility which was about to
rest on Po#e Pius L, but did not, would ha!e been snatched fro hi
by the failure of one cardinal to !ote for hi"
;ow, any an or woan of ordinary ?horse sense? can see that God
'lighty has nothing whate!er to do with Flling the oEce of the
Po#e, and this infallibility rests altogether with the #ulling #ower
that the candidate for Po#e e@ercises o!er the cardinals, as it is an
indis#utable fact that there is as uch #olitical chicanery in the
election of a Po#e as there is in the election of a justice of the
#eace at a townshi# election"
Ae want to learn just how far this infallibility of the Po#e goes"
If a an is infallible he can not ake a istake, and I can #ro!e by
e!ery an of broadindedness and intelligence that the Po#es of
(oe,
for centuries #ast, ha!e ade nothing but istakes, and their
istakes ha!e been not only ruinous to those who they #rofess to
teach, but their istakes ha!e had a tendency to #aralyGe the
righteous abitions of e!ery nation to which their inMuence has
e@tended" If the clai of 5atholicis is true that her Po#es are
infallible, then we ust acknowledge that this great gift was
recei!ed fro God 'lighty, and we cannot belie!e such nonsense
when
we are aware of the fact that these Po#es are elected by the
cardinals, and the election of a Po#e de#ends u#on the tactics and
schees of these cardinalsI then, #ray, tell us how any an who has
been raised u# under the arch$light of Protestantis, or who has had
the searchlight of Protestant intelligence #enetrate his soul, can
for a oent belie!e in the infallibility of the Po#eN
I sincerely belie!e, in fact, I know that there are illions who
belie!e this danable doctrine, as I can honestly say that I at one
tie belie!ed it yself" But those who do belie!e it are those who
ha!e been raised beneath the dark shadows of su#erstition, and y
ission in writing this book is to brush the cobwebs of ignorance
fro these dwarfed inds and hel# to #oint the to ?Qthe %ab of God
who taketh away the sins of the worldQ,? and if I can be instruental
in this ission I will not only o#en the eyes of the followers of
5atholicis, but I will #ut sti=ening into the backbone of
Protestantis and hel# the to brand this idolatrous doctrine of
5atholicis where!er she ay dare to rear her aboinable head"
The great danger in teaching that the Po#e is infallible is in aking
thie!es and urderers of our citiGens, for if 5atholicis is right in
teaching her followers that the Po#e of (oe is infallible, this
doctrine is bound to ha!e an inMuence that is awful in its e=ect,
for whene!er a an or woan belie!es in the infallibility of the Po#e
they are bound to belie!e in the infallibility of all things that he
createsI therefore you will see that this doctrine is far$reaching in
its e=ects, for if a Po#e is infallible the bisho#s which he
creates are infallible, and if the bisho#s which he creates are
infallible, the #riests which they create are infallible, and
whene!er we teach a nation this aboination we ha!e a nation of
#eo#le which belie!es that there is no sin so heinous which they ay
coit but which ay be forgi!en by the #riesthood, as they ha!e
learned to belie!e that all things created by the Po#e are
infallible, si#ly because they ha!e been created by the Po#e, and
whene!er you #reach a doctrine that has such e=ect u#on the
inhabitants of any country you will ha!e a set of inhabitants who
will coit crie without hesitation, as they are assured that by
#aying a few dollars into the co=ers of the #riest they can ha!e
their sins #ardoned, and whene!er you cause a nation to belie!e this,
you at once ha!e a nation of criinals"
It is, in y estiation, absolutely i#ossible for an indi!idual who
belie!es in such a danable doctrine to becoe a #ure, #atriotic
'erican citiGen" ;ow, this ay see to the reader a !ery broad
assertion and one that ay a##ear too broad to be substantiated, but
I #ro#ose to deonstrate to you that it is only a natural
conseHuence, and if we fail to ake this #oint clear to the readerCs
ind we will not ask the to belie!e it"
In the Frst #lace, we desire to say that the 5atholic religion$$if
religion it can be tered$$is founded u#on the rock of su#erstition"
E!ery code of their church doctrine teaches that the Po#e is
infallible and cannot err, which is absurd, and not only absurd, but
a festering lie, for no an or woan who belie!es in the teachings of
the Holy Bible can belie!e in such a doctrine, and whene!er a an or
woan does belie!e in the infallibility of the Po#e and belie!es that
the Po#e cannot err, he or she belie!es that the Po#e is su#erhuan,
and such we know cannot be the case as long as there is life in the
body, as we are all liable to the 'daic sin, as the world at large
was cursed with the 'daic sin in the Garden of Eden"
;ow, we want to deal in si#le facts and truths that are so si#le
that the coonest an of ordinary intelligence can understand"
;ow, if the Po#e of (oe is infallible, he is iortal, and if e!ery
action of this Po#e is #ure, then e!erything that is created by hi
ust be #ureI and if such is the case, I was at one tie as #ure as
9esus 5hrist Hiself, as I for thirty years was a (oan 5atholic
#riest and a creature created by a (oan 5atholic Po#e" E!ery an
and
woan of !ery ordinary intelligence knows that neither I nor any
other #riest e!er was #ureI in fact, that an has ne!er li!ed or died
who could clai infallibility and #urity so long as life was left in
his body"
If the doctrines of 5atholicis are correct then we ha!e no use for a
God any longer, as we already ha!e a Po#eI and should Po#e Pius L die
to$day the cardinals to$orrow, or soe day in the near future, would
elect another Po#e, who would take the #lace of 9esus 5hrist Hiself,
according to their doctrineI and if such doctrines are true, then the
huan faily in the future and the unborn illions could be sa!ed as
easily without God as they could with Hi, as the Po#e would #erfor
that ission hiself"
There are thousands$$yea, tens of thousands, who send handkerchiefs
and trinkets each year to (oe to be blessed ONP by the Po#e, and
who belie!e that by ha!ing soe article which has been blessed ONP by
this #resu#tuous !agabond will #re!ent the fro being o!ertaken
by
bad luck, ill health or any other isfortune that besets the #ath of
an"
;ow, if the Po#e of (oe has the #ower to bless and sanctify a #iece
of cloth, a ring, or any dead and inert object, he undoubtedly is
?Qthe real thingQ,? and if such is the case the Bible is a lie, the
gos#el a fallacy, and God 'lighty becoes a hireling, and we ha!e no
further need of a God"
Ahat can we e@#ect of the followers of 5atholicis who belie!e in
this hellish doctrine, and what can we e@#ect of a nation which is
controlled by those who teach and #reach such aboinationsN
'n institution which will teach such danable ignorance and #ractice

The 5haracters of the Followers of 5atholicis 5o#ared
to the Followers of Protestantis"
I belie!e that I a not #resuing too uch when I consider yself
authority on the subject of ?5haracter,? as I ha!e had the #ri!ilege
of studying the characters of the followers of both 5atholic and
Protestant countries, as I ha!e tra!eled e@tensi!ely o!er both Euro#e
and 'erica and ha!e had occasion to co#are the characters of the
followers of the Po#e to the characters of the followers of 9esus
5hrist, and the co#arison is one that will lead any sane an, or
woan, and one who desires to reach a true !erdict, to arri!e at the
conclusion that it is a #hysical i#ossibility for any an or woan
who de#ends u#on ortal wisdo for their ins#iration to e!er attain
the broadness and #urity of character that the an or woan who
li!es beneath the shadow of the 5ross, and who looks to a li!ing God
for their wisdo"
5haracter is not a s#ontaneous fungus which grows without #ro#er
care, as character is an essential that ust be culti!ated in the
fertile soil of orality, as there is no code of orals which will
stand the crucial test of godliness unless it s#rings fro the
eternal injunctions laid down in the Holy Bible, and without orals
an indi!idual as well as a nation loses its identity aong the good
of the land, and when this ha##ens, society in general is the loser,
for whene!er we degrade society we degrade oursel!es, for there is no
an or woan so strong and #owerful in their indi!iduality but what
they can becoe besirched and containated, to a degree at least,
by
the association of those who ha!e been lowered in the scale of
orality by the lack of this ost #recious jewel of the huan faily"
Ae are aware of the fact that Protestantis is not e@e#t fro sin,
as we are well aware that we will Fnd sinners of all degrees in the
Protestant ranks, but we ake the assertion, without fear of
contradiction, that the characters in general of the followers of
Protestantis are any ties su#erior to the characters in general of
the followers of (oanis"
Ae will take the large cities in the :nited 6tates as an
illustration, and we will Fnd that the saloon$kee#ers, co#arati!ely
s#eaking, are fro the ranks of 5atholicis, and to engage in the
saloon business is no bar to a eber of the 5atholic 5hurch, for if
this saloon$kee#er, no atter if he runs a wine$roo in connection
with his saloon and is res#onsible for the downfall of an ary of
#recious girls, he is considered a Ft subject for hea!en by the
5atholic 5hurch #ro!ided he liberally donates to the su##ort of this
danable institution"
6tatistics show that ninety$four bar$roos out of e!ery one hundred
in 'erica are owned and controlled by the followers of (oanis" 's
5atholicis establishes and builds character out of oney, she akes
oney her god, and as long as her followers liberally su##ort the
great ary of 5atholic dignitaries they are taught that they ha!e
#erfored the essential #art in the establishent of characterI thus
you can see what the result of this doctrine would lead to, and you
ha!e deonstrations of this doctrine in this country, and ore
es#ecially in other countries where 5atholicis is solely res#onsible
for the condition of the inhabitants"
E!erything that is not in the Bible is taken by the 5atholic 5hurch
fro the heathens and the 9ews, and you will Fnd the doctrines and
the #ractices of 5atholicis founded u#on heathenish #ractices and
not u#on the broad #lane of orals taught by 9esus 5hrist"
Those who ay read this book, and who are not acHuainted with the
characters of the rabble of 5atholicis, we would be glad to ha!e
the go to any of our large cities and !isit soe of the districts of
these cities which are inhabited by the followers of (oanis, and
there you will Fnd a class whose countenances alone would conden
the in any criinal court of the land, as they are en and woen
who
are ade u# of a foreign eleent and fro the criinal districts of
Euro#ean countries, and who are as ignorant as ras and glory in
their ignorance, and who ha!e no idea of #atriotis and of loyalty to
country, and only ha!e an idea and desire to worshi# the iages and
sybols of 5atholicis, and any an or body of en, or any nation,
who will #ractice this heathenish worshi# cannot #ossess character"
I ha!e tra!eled e@tensi!ely o!er the :nited 6tates and o!er Euro#ean
countries which are controlled by the Po#e, and if I could !i!idly
#ortray the characters of 5atholicis and Protestantis the
co#arison would reseble the countenance of the criinal co#ared
to
the innocent and lo!eable features of a girl baby"
5atholicis #oisons the !ery atos#here that surrounds her followers,
and she is not satisFed by conFning her containating inMuences to
her own followers, but she is e!erlastingly stretching her Flthy
gras# to #ull Protestantis down to her degraded le!el" 5atholicis
lowers the standard of #ublic o#inion" 6he akes war on orality and
!irtue, which destroys character" 5atholicis countenances
wrong$doings" 5atholicis tolerates e!il and rewards !ice, and it is
a well$known fact that ?e!il counications corru#t good anners,?
and if this is the case, then is it any wonder that the characters of
the followers of 5atholicis cannot, nor ne!er will, fa!orably
co#are to the followers of ProtestantisN
I a about to ake an assertion that will #erha#s shock those who are
not failiar with the teachings of 5atholicis, but I ake it without
fear of contradiction, as I know whereof I s#eak, as I ha!e tra!eled
the Pa#ist road for thirty years, and I declare to you with all
sincerity and honesty that (oe would not go far wrong if she counted
in her ebershi# DJ #er cent of the en and woen who are on
their
road to hell, and if this assertion is true, and if I ha!e not
o!erdrawn y estiation, then, #ray, tell e what we can e@#ect in
the future in this country should such characters as I ha!e just
#ortrayed be #eritted to doinate this go!ernent"
E!ery (oan 5atholic that is born in the world coes into the world
alienated fro God and GodCs teachings, and is taught fro infancy
not to de#end u#on God 'lighty for guidance, but to de#end u#on
(oanis for their e!erlasting future, and with such doctrines
e!erlastingly funnelled into childhood, what can we e@#ect of the
child when it has grown to aturityN
Protestant children are born into the world of #arents who look abo!e
the horiGon of earthly things for their ins#irations, and these
children are taught fro infancy that they ust look to an all$wise
God for succor and su##ortI but Po#ery ignores all of this and
teaches by heathenish sybols and by #aganic #ractices" Thus it is an
easy atter for any sane an or woan to understand why character
cannot be found in such a class"
The followers of 5atholicis are taught that by the #ayent of a few
dies they can ha!e their sins reitted and #ardonedI thus you will
see that crie has no terrors for such a class, as they belie!e that
when they ha!e coitted a crie all they ha!e to do is to go to the
#riestcraft and ha!e their sins #ardoned, in e@change for #erha#s a
#art of the oney which they gained in their criinal transaction"
To rule such en, no religion is reHuired" ' (oanist does not look
to God 'lighty for his sal!ation, but to the church, and the church
gi!es hi her unbounded sanction to coit sin, #ro!ided that he
returns after he coits the crie and #ays a few dollars to ha!e his
sins #ardoned"
' (oan 5atholic can swear, break the 6abbath, dishonor his #arents,
lie, steal, coit adultery, get drunk and coit any other crie
that he chooses, #ro!ided that he returns to the confessional bo@ and
#ays for ha!ing his sins #ardoned"
;ow, what can you e@#ect of a class of en and woen who belie!e in
this doctrine, and can you e@#ect to Fnd anything but the character
of a criinal or a degenerateN If you do, you are undoubtedly as
ignorant as the followers of (oanis, as it is a #hysical
i#ossibility to reasonably e@#ect a an or woan who has been
taught
these aboinations to e!er ake en and woen of character who
will
adorn this or any other nation"
8ne of the rulers of England, 5harles II, died with #rostitutes about

in hi as one of her con!erts" The ore of (oe a an or woan
#ossesses, and the less of God, the ore the (oan 5atholic 5hurch
gloriFes in hi"
5atholicis is a coward$$yea, a cringing coward$$when not surrounded
by large nubers of her followers, as she has no e@cuse for her
e@istence and cannot defend herself by intelligent and godly
arguents, and the only way she can defend herself is by nubersI
but
whene!er she can resort to #hysical and brutal strength, she then
akes a Fght which crisons the earth with blood, and Protestantis
#ays the #enalty, and the reason why those in the country and in
s#arsely settled districts do not know ore of the hellishness of
5atholicis is because this creed cannot intelligently defend itself
and will not take issue with Protestantis unless she can take issue
by brutal #ower, but in our cities we ha!e an e@hibition of the
diabolical deeds of 5atholicis, as the ajority of our unici#al
elections are controlled by the followers of 5atholicis, as (oeCs
followers congregate in our large cities, because they lo!e darkness
better than light, and they infest the ?tough? sections of our cities
and control our unici#al elections by brute force, which is
sanctioned by the #riestcraft"
Ae will take it for granted that the inhabitants of the :nited 6tates
know ore of *e@ico than any other nation which is #riest$ridden, so
we desire to dwell for a short tie u#on the characters of the
*e@ican #eon" You will Fnd *e@ico, which lays right across fro
Te@as on the (io Grande (i!er, a di!iding line between ignorance and
intelligence, crie and godliness, and orality and ioralityI
howe!er, that #art of Te@as which lays near the *e@ican border has
becoe containated to a great degree by these *e@ican ?du#es?
who
follow the black Mag of (oanisI but the di=erence in character,
in anhood, in woanhood, in intelligence and e!erything which
distinguishes right fro wrong is so arked and so #lain that one
does not ha!e to look twice to see the di=erence, and there is no
cause nor no reason for this great di=erence in character, in
anhood and woanhood but the teachings of (oe"
If we e@#ect 'erica to retain her #lace aong the nations of
intelligence and nations of greatness, and nations of goodness and
godliness, we ust be character$builders, for without character we
can ne!er e@#ect to reach the Genith of godliness, and without

ad!antageous to the coonwealth than religion should
#ro!ide, by the enactent of wise laws, that the oEce of

including conseHuently the contributions of 5atholics, should
contain nothing that stands in the way of their conscience or
runs foul of their religion"?$$QPo#e %eo LIII"Q
Ae could go on and Huote diabolical denunciations of our #ublic
schools fro hundreds and thousands of 5atholic oEcials, as the
followers of (oe ake no ?bones? of declaring their aniosity
towards the #ublic schools of this country, and they are only waiting
for the tie to arri!e when they will be able to wi#e fro the face
of the earth e!ery !estige of our #ublic schools, and #lace in their
stead their #arochial schools, which are nothing ore nor less than
?ills of ignorance? and ?institutions of su#erstition"?
'n institution of learning is soething that is not desired by
5atholicis, for whene!er you educate you destroy the doctrines of
(oanis, as the hosts of 5atholicis cannot stand the searchlight of
wisdo, for whene!er you educate the followers of 5atholicis they
becoe disgusted with their dogas of danation"
8ur #ublic schools are the bulwarks of this go!ernent, and all that
we are to$day, and all that we ay e@#ect to be in the future, has
coe and ust coe by and through the #ublic schools, which are the
dearest institutions that adorn this country"
There ust be no sectarianis, whether #olitical or religious, in our
#ublic schools, but there ust be truth and duty there" The
unchanging and undying a@i of oral rectitude should be taught to
e!ery child" It is not enough that a boy or girl should be educated
entally" The safety of our nation, as well as his own usefulness and
ha##iness, deand that they should be trained to habits of
truthfulness and de!elo# a Fne standard of honor" They should be
ins#ired to for e@alted ideals of anhood and woanhood, charity,
rectitude and godliness, and ade strong in the resolution to defend
the truth, which is ne!er found in #arochial schools, as the 5atholic
doctrine always tends to huiliate her followers"
The tie has coe when the #u#ils of our #ublic schools ust be
taught the lo!e of country, and 5atholicis does not teach this, but
the re!erse" The children of this nation ust learn to lo!e their
nati!e land" To who shall we look for the inculcation of those
#atriotic sentients which should ins#ire the heart of e!ery 'erican
citiGenN ;ot to 5atholicis, by any eans, but to the three hundred
thousand teachers of our #ublic schools"
8!er e!ery school house in halet and city, in country and town, in
the ;orth and in the 6outh, in the East and in the Aest, the 'erican
Mag should kiss the orning breeGe" Place it where twenty illions
of children will see it e!ery day, and learn to lo!e it as the eble
of all that is great and good" It will re#resent to us and to all the
world, in a new and #eculiar anner, the great fundaental truth that
the bulwark of our liberties is in the education of our #eo#le"
The war of the re!olution was fought to establish our nationality"
Incalculable blood and treasure ha!e been s#ent to establish and kee#
our national life intact, and the national #olicy with relation to
our #ublic schools is #art and #arcel of that all$absorbing
deterination to secure the #er#etuity of the state" *en ake better
citiGens for being educated" The higher the #o#ular intellect is
raised the ore intelligent and inde#endent will be its !ote" The
stronger the source of go!ernent, the stronger the go!ernent" If
the ?bayonets that think? are the ost #otent, the ?ballots that
think? are the ost beneFcent"
E!ery !ictory which our nation has won has been a !ictory of the
#ublic schools and a death knock to 5atholicis" They ha!e been the
nursery not only of our statesen, but of our #atriots and soldiers"
They are an 'erican institution and are destined to li!e as long as
the re#ublic sur!i!es" There is no other 'erican institution that
'erican #eo#le would sooner Fght for and die for than that which
secures an educated and intelligent nationality" %et us aintain
in!iolate our #ublic schools to the end that our nation ay e!er be
the hoe of liberty, ?the land of benedictions"?
In the unbounded uni!erse of GodCs doain there are anifold
di!ersities, and yet there is an essential unity that binds the world
togetherI there is a coon #oint where all atter unites"
's there is great freedo and di!ersity #eritted in the unity of
nature, so, in our country of religious and #olitical freedo, we
ust grant the greatest latitude #ossible to the indi!idual
conscience in #ersonal, religious and ci!il rights consistent with
good go!ernent" But that there ust be a code of orality coon
to
all as the basis of our ci!iliGed juris#rudence, in which the rights
of all center or unite and are eHually #rotected, e!ery reasonable
ind ust adit" But where do we get our ideas of what is orally
right, and what is orally wrong, as the basis of our coon law and
juris#rudenceN Ahat book or books contain the best code of oralsN
Ae
answer, the Bible" For the e@cellency of the orality of the Bible
has been aditted by the ost distinguished en who ha!e o##osed
its
su#ernatural re!elation, aong who are Gibbon, Byron, 5arlyle, %ord
Bollingbroke, ;a#oleon Bona#arte, Goethe and (enan" Thoas
9e=erson,
s#eaking of 5hrist as a teacher, said& ?He set forth the sublie
ideas of the 6u#ree Being, a#horiss and #rece#ts of the #urest
orality"?
5atholicis says& ?;o Bible shall be taught in the #ublic schools,?
but deands that she be allowed to #roclai her dogas"
Benjain Franklin, F!e weeks before his death, said of 5hrist& ?I
think His syste of orals, and His religion, as He left the, are
the best the world e!er saw or is likely to see"? The ser!ices of the
Bible in behalf of huan rights and freedo, and in reforing and
#urifying juris#rudence and #olitics, ha!e been recogniGed by any of
the ost distinguished historians, jurists and statesen"
's the akers of our laws and the founders of our go!ernent ha!e
acce#ted the oral code of the Bible as the basis of our
juris#rudence, and ha!e forbidden the union of church and state, and
ha!e left e!ery citiGen free to ?worshi# God according to the
dictates of his own conscience,? so long as he does not interfere
with the rights of others or !iolate the oral code coon to all
citiGens, for the law cannot allow a #erson to urder or steal, or
burn huan sacriFces, or be a #olygaist, or coit any other #ublic
crie, e!en if the dictates of his conscience should lead hi into
such a for of religion, because the oral code of the Bible is the
basis of our juris#rudence, and it forbids such things"
Therefore, we deand that the ?book of books? be ke#t where the
rising generation shall coe under its oral teaching without #arty
or sectarian coent, so that all ay understand the fundaental
#rinci#les u#on which the science of our coon law rests, and thus
one of the objects of the order is ?to aintain the #ublic school
syste of the :nited 6tates and to #re!ent sectarian interference
therewith, and u#holding the reading of the Holy Bible therein"?
The arguent that the reading of the Bible in the #ublic school
should be abolished because it is objectionable to the conscience of
soe coes only fro the 5hurch of (oe, and a##lies with eHual
force
against the oral code of juris#rudence, because it is objectionable
to the conscience of the anarchist, and the conscience of the
anarchist is just as sacred and entitled to as uch res#ect, under
the law, in this free country of ours as the conscience of any one
else"
Ae ha!e just as uch right to take the oral code out of our coon
juris#rudence as to take the Bible out of our #ublic schools, because
the oral code of the Bible is the oral code of our coon law"
Ae desire the Bible to be ke#t in the school as the standard of oral
truth, as the dictionary is ke#t there as the standard of words and
their deFnitions" 's the unabridged dictionary contains all the
words of the English language, so the Bible contains all the truths
of 5hristianity" E!ery book has a #art of the words of the
dictionary, so e!ery 5hristian creed has a #art of the truths of the
Bible" 's there ne!er was a book written that contained all of the
words of the dictionary, so there ne!er was a creed written that
contained all the truths of the Bible" Therefore, as the dictionary
and not the books is the standard for words and their eaning, so the
Bible, and not the creeds, is the standard of oral truth" ' an can
take the words in the dictionary and write a bad book, but that is
not the fault of the dictionary, but of the an" ' #erson ay take
#assages of 6cri#ture and isa##lied truths and write a bad creed,
but that is not the fault of the Bible, but of the creed$aker" But
e!ery an who takes the Bible as a whole has a co#lete standard of
oral truths"
It is claied that the Bible should not be read in the school because
there are #assages that are not #ro#er to be read before children, or
a #roiscuous audience, but this is only claied by 5atholicis" Yes,
and there are words in the dictionary that it would be just as
i#ro#er to use and deFne before children or a #roiscuous audience
as any #assage in the Bible" Therefore, it would be just as
reasonable to e@clude the dictionary as the Bible fro the school
roo on this hy#ocritical arguent in fa!or of false odesty"
The anCs conscience that will object to the reading of the Bible in
the #ublic school will ultiately object to the oral code of our
juris#rudence, and such a conscience is dangerous to our for of
go!ernent, iniical to the best interests of society and good
go!ernent, as has been clearly deonstrated in the #ast" The
*orons
claied the right under our constitution to li!e in #olygay, as that
was their religion and the way they ser!ed God according to the
?dictates of their own conscience"? But the su#ree court decided
they could not worshi# God according to the dictates of their
conscience if their worshi# was a !iolation of the oral code coon
to all" Thus all ust subit to the oral code irres#ecti!e of their
indi!idual conscience" 6o the Bible should be read in the #ublic
schools, irres#ecti!e of the conscience of any, until the ajority of
the go!ernent of the #eo#le, for the #eo#le and by the #eo#le shall
say& ?'way with your Bible, away with your 6abbath, away with your
5hristian juris#rudence, and gi!e us inFdel, re!olutionary France,
or lawless anarchy, or the inHuisition of the dark agesS?
8ur #ublic school is the ill that is to grind out this standard of
orality, knowledge and #atriotis coon to all" Hence we ust
ha!e
the Bible in it as the standard of orality, and #riary #rinci#les
of literature, science and art, the standard of knowledge, and the
'erican Mag and its essential #rinci#les as the standard of
#atriotis" 8ur 'erican school syste is like a great #a#er ill,
into which are cast rags of all kinds and colors, but which lose
their s#ecial identity and coe out white #a#er, ha!ing a coon
identity" 6o we want the children of the state, of whate!er
nationality, color or religion, to #ass through this great oral,
intellectual and #atriotic ill, or transforing #rocess, and thus
lose their foreign #eculiarities and coe out not as Gerans, Irish,
English, Huns or Poles, but as 'ericans, ha!ing the coon identity
of orality, knowledge and #atriotis that is essential to true
'erican citiGenshi# and good go!ernent sta#ed u#on their inds,
and when they #ass through this ill of #uriFcation they then begin
to lose conFdence in the heathenish doctrines of 5atholicis"
In a go!ernent where the #eo#le are the rulers, intelligence and
education are necessary to aintain the nationCs stability" :nder
this belief, the #ublic school syste of the :nited 6tates was
founded"
Following are e@#ressions of #roinent 'ericans on the general
subject of #o#ular education&
President Hays& ?I a Frly con!inced that the subject of #o#ular
education deser!es the earnest attention of the #eo#le of the whole

local and state authorities are in any cases wholly inadeHuate to

not, I a##rehend, generally and fully understood"?
President GarFeld& ?;e@t in i#ortance to freedo and justice is
#o#ular education, without which neither freedo nor justice can be
#eranently aintained" Its interests are intrusted to the state and
to the !oluntary action of the #eo#le" Ahate!er hel# the nation can
justly a=ord should be generously gi!en to aid the states in
su##orting coon schools, but it would be unjust to our #eo#le and
dangerous to our institutions to a##ly any #ortion of the re!enue of

The church of (oe wants to rule by tyranny so that she can force her
?du#es? to do her bidding"
;o subject could be of ore interest to 'erican citiGens to$day than
that of foreign iigration to 'erica" E!ery section of the country
has felt, to soe degree, the deoraliGing e=ect of the free
adission of aliens, unsuited orally and entally for #artici#ating
in a go!ernent of the #eo#le"
The consensus of o#inion aong all classes of good citiGens is that
soe restricti!e easures should be ado#ted, and this can be e=ected
only by #o#ular agitation and deand"
(ead what soe #roinent en of the country ha!e said on the

Hon" A" E" 5handler& ?Ae should #re#are oursel!es with wisdo and

5anadian or *e@ican borders, who is a #au#er or likely to becoe
such" 8ne ethod of stricter adinistration should be the reHuireent
that all iigrants before lea!ing their own countries shall obtain
consular certiFcates abroad, showing their right to enter the :nited
6tates"?
Hon" Henry 5abot %odge& ?You ask e for a few words on the subject of

in 5ongress and in re!iew articles, but I a !ery glad to restate it

#resent iigration ought to be sifted and restricted uch ore than
it is, both as a #rotection to the Huality of our citiGenshi# and to
the rates of wages to our workingen"?
Hon" (obert P" Porter, 6u#erintendent of 5ensus& ?The unrestricted
adission of the diseased, half$fed swars of hel#less huanity fro

'erican citiGenshi# and 'erican institutions" There was a tie in
our history when the better class of foreign iigrants and our own
#o#ulation was able to swallow u# the less desirable class, but it
takes no great discernent now to see the congested s#ots here and
there on our body #olitic" In this lies the danger" 6uch a change in

Ahere!er you Fnd a national disturbance, and where!er you Fnd the
s#irit of anarchy in this country, you will Fnd a s#ot where (oan
5atholicis e@ists, as her teachings are anarchistic, as she teaches
her followers a doctrine that is as sure to lead to anarchy as water
is to Mow down hill"
5atholicis teaches her children that our #ublic schools are ?#lague
s#ots? and ?nurseries of hell,? and i#resses u#on their inds that
education, in a broad sense, is not essential, and also teaches the
that they ust look to the #riestcraft for their education, and at
the sae tie the #riestcraft is instructed by the Po#e of (oe that
a broad$gauge education is not #erissible to be gi!en to the
followers of 5atholicis, and the Po#e of (oe teaches her bisho#ric
and her #riestcraft that they ust Fght the #ublic school syste,
and in its stead erect the #arochial schools of (oe, which are
nothing ore nor less than schools of dogas, and these dogas are
incubators of anarchy, for without education and without lo!e of
country, anarchy is as certain to follow as the day is certain to
follow night, but still Protestantis stands idly by and allows
5atholicis to !illify her institutions, and at the sae tie #erits
5atholicis to #lace her followers in a #osition to draw salaries
fro the institutions which they des#ise and hate with the !eno of
hell"
It is y object and y ai to arouse Protestantis to a sense of
their duty, and if I can do this I will feel that I ha!e acco#lished
a task that will e!entually call forth the #laudits of the 'erican
#eo#le, for as sure as God reigns, just that sure our #ublic schools
will be crushed out of e@istence by 5atholicis unless Protestant
'erica raises her !oice and her strong ar in defense of our #ublic

The InMuence of the Priesthood of

'n institution which is allowed to Mourish in this country, should
be an institution whose teachers are in harony with the fundaental
#rinci#les of godliness, orality and liberty, and unless they are,
the teachers at once becoe traitors"
;ow, is not this coon sense logic and e!ery$day #hiloso#hyN
Ae want to in!estigate and see if this logic and #hiloso#hy is not
reasonable and founded u#on coon sense, and if we Fnd that it is,
then any an or woan of intelligence ust acknowledge that if the
teachings and the fundaental #rinci#les of a free country are
correct, then the doctrines of 5atholicis are altogether wrong, and
the sooner the 'erican #eo#le can arri!e at this conclusion, the
better it will be for us, for if the teachings of our Protestant
forefathers are right, and the teachings of (oe are wrong, the
Huicker we can eradicate and sta# out these #o#ish doctrines, the
better it will be for our #osterity"
If this country is a hoe for those who lo!e liberty, then the
inMuence of the #riesthood of 'erica is detriental to the
fundaental #rinci#les of 'erica, as 5atholicis does not teach
#atriotis and loyalty of country, as the burden of her teachings is,
?%oyalty to the Po#e,? and the Po#e of (oe, who is at the head of
the 5atholic 5hurchI is a des#ot #ure and si#le$$yea, he is worse
than a des#ot, as he rules his followers by a su#erstitious belief,
which teaches that not only the body of (oeCs followers is subject
to the Po#eCs e!ery whi, but the soul as well is directly under the
control of this des#otic so!ereign"
' (oan 5atholic for of go!ernent is ore des#otic than a
onarchy
which is ruled by an absolute des#ot, as these onarchs who ha!e
absolute sway in the a=airs of the state only are satisFed with
this absolutis, but not so with 5atholicis, as she haunts her
followers to the gra!e and then deands of their sur!i!ing relati!es
that hoage be #aid her in order to kee# their dead out of the
regions of des#air"
It atters not how strong we are in our endea!ors to do right, the
coission of wrong under our nose will corru#t to a certain e@tent
the orals of the young, and I say without fear of contradiction that
the #riestcraft of this and e!ery other country are, as a whole, a
set of en whose orality is below #arI howe!er, I sincerely belie!e
that there are soe few who are chaste, but I a sorry to say that
this class is greatly in the inorityI and why should it be
otherwise, as the #riesthood is co#osed of en who are ortal, and
the !ow of celibacy which they ust take before they enter the
#riesthood is an unnatural and an unreasonable !ow, and one which is
not ke#t sacred by one out of e!ery FftyI thus you will see at once
that the #riestcraft is a cancer u#on the body of orality, for
whene!er the young and rising generation learns that those who are
su##osed to teach the in chastity and orality, are en who will
coit the !ery sins which they ha!e been taught are heinous" Then,
what can you e@#ect of future generations, and what ust e!entually
be the orals of a country which is controlled by the #riestcraftN
Ae do not ha!e to conFne oursel!es to the recital of the iorality
of the #riestcraft of foreign countries, but we could ention scores
of cases that ha!e ha##ened in this country and which will continue
to ha##en as long as the (oish 5hurch deands the !ows of celibacy
by the #riestcraft"
Ae will gi!e you an instance of the #ractices of (oanis in this

Priest Geo" )" 6ander, of 6t" %eonardCs 5atholic 5hurch, Haburg
a!enue and 9e=erson street, Brooklyn, ;ew York, was known in that
city as a de!out 5atholic #riest, and he was also known in Far Hills,
;ew 9ersey, as a race horse an, by the nae of ?Geo" Aest,? who was
interested in a stock far, on which li!ed a woan known as ?*rs"
Geo" Aest,? but her right nae is *rs" *aie <i##, who forerly
belonged to Priest 6anderCs church, but disa##eared fro Brooklyn
!ery ysteriously, and whose whereabouts had been unknown to her
faily and her friends, until it was learned that she was li!ing on
this stock far at Far Hills, ;"9", and bore the Fctitious nae by
which this #riest was known"
The double life of Priest 6ander began in 1D-1" Then 9os" 5" Peck,
racer and raiser of trotting horses, et this #riest in 'lbany, who
wore the ordinary garb of a citiGen" They et at the race track,
which was not a !ery good recoendation to say the least of it, for
the (e!" Father 6ander" Peck found that this #riest was a keen judge
of horses and their lo!e for horses established a bond of friendshi#
between the"
In Baltiore, a short tie afterwards, these two en again et at the
race track" Peck told Priest 6ander that he had just sold a stock
far at *illington, ;"9", and conte#lated buying another" 6ander
told Peck that he was the owner of a Fne are naed ?Ethel Burns,?
and that he would #lace her on PeckCs far if he #urchased it" He
told Peck that his are had a track record of +&+-$1>3 and a trial
record of +&1."
Peck infored this #riest that he was a bachelor" Priest 6ander
#ro#osed that they should kee# house jointly and said that he would
#ro!ide a housekee#er and share the e@#ense of the establishent" He
was the guardian, he said, of a *rs" *aie <i##, who had had soe
trouble with her husband and who wanted to get away fro Brooklyn"
He
infored Peck that this lady had a young son, and that he would bring
both the other and son to the far at Far Hills, ;"9"
It was ob!ious that the #riest could not indulge in his lo!e for fast
horses, and ake regular !isits to the stock far in his #riestly
robes, as he knew it would cause considerable coentI so this #riest
suggested to Peck that *rs" <i## be called ?*rs" Geo" Aest,? and that
it be gi!en out to the neighbors that she was the wife of a druer
for a large ercantile house in ;ew York, and further stated that he
could !isit this woan as ?George Aest,? and not create any coent"
The trainen becae acHuainted with this #riest and considered hi a
?good fellow,? as he was always soking and #layed the #art of a
?druer? in an elegant anner, and these trainen cae to know
?Geo"
Aest? as PeckCs #artner in the race horse business"
The erchants about Far Hills knew this #riest as the husband of
?*rs" Aest,? and when this #riest would #ut in his a##earance at Far
Hills, the neighbors, of course, thought it was nothing ore than
natural that ?*rs" AestCs? husband should coe to see her whene!er
he
could get an o##ortunity to get o= of the road"
The accounts for the su##lies of the household were billed soeties
to ?Geo" Aest? and soeties to 9os" 5" Peck, thus you will see that
Priest 6ander acknowledged by these bills that he was ?Geo" Aest"?
This story got to be noised about, and the Protestant eleent of
Brooklyn as well as Priest 6anderCs Mock becae !ery uch interested
in the tale, and sent a re#orter out to inter!iew 9os" 5" Peck, and
the Frst Huestion this re#orter asked hi was, ?Is that the #icture
of your sisterN? #ointing to a #ortrait of the woan hanging on the
wall" ?;o,? he re#lied" ?That is *rs" Aest"? The re#orter asked if it
was not the #icture of *rs" *aie <i##" Peck hesitated, his li#s
trebling, and he began to look !ery ner!ous, then he ga!e way
co#letely and said& ?Yes, it is *rs" *aie <i##"? ?How does she coe
here under the nae of C*rs" Aest,C and who is C*r" AestNC? was then
asked, which Peck refused to answer"
Aith these facts in hand, the re#orter returned to Brooklyn and
sought Priest 6ander in his #arlor, in his #arish residence, and the
Frst Huestion he asked hi was this& ?You own a trotting horse out
at Far Hills, ;"9", donCt youN? The answer was, ?Yes"? ?)onCt you own
a string of trotting horsesN? The answer was, ?5ertainly notS Aho
told you thatN? The re#orter re#lied, ?8h, noI you donCt own a string
of horses as Priest 6ander, but as CGeo" Aest,C donCt youN? Priest
6ander tried to look sur#rised, and he folded a sli# of #a#er he
held in his hand and got !ery ner!ous and re#lied, ?;ow, that is a
#retty story, isnCt itI who told you all thisN?
The re#orter laid before hi all the facts he had gathered at Far
Hills, and deanded that he aEr or deny the story" Then this
#riest said, ?I ay as well confessI it will be the ruin of eI it
will take the bread out of y outh, but you ha!e got it absolutely
straight"? The re#orter asked Priest 6ander if he #ositi!ely didnCt
know that this woan who sailed under the nae of ?*rs" Geo" Aest?
wasnCt *rs" *aie <i##"
This #riest, not being content with the dastardly #art that he had
#layed in his ioral conduct with *rs" <i##, absolutely denied that
it was *rs" *aie <i##, and further declared that he knew nothing
about her, e@ce#t that she was the ?housekee#er? at PeckCs far, and
why she was called ?*rs" Aest? he did not knowI thus you will see
that while he was guilty of iorality with *rs" *aie <i##, he also
was a notorious liarI but bear in ind that this sae Priest 6ander
was still at this tie #residing o!er a 5atholic church in Brooklyn"
The re#orter was deterined to lead hi out as far as #ossible so he
re#eated again, ?'re you absolutely #ositi!e that C*rs" AestC at
PeckCs far is not *rs" *aie <i##N?
This #riest re#lied that he was ?#ositi!e,? and stated that this
woan at PeckCs far was PeckCs housekee#er, and further stated that
he did not know anything about her at all, when he knew as well as he
knew that he was li!ing that he had been the cause of her forsaking
her husband in Brooklyn, and also had been instruental in her going
to Far Hills, ;"9", where he could li!e his life of shae without
olestation"
'fter this !agabond had ade this denial, *r" Peck was again seen at
Far Hills, ;"9", and e#hatically stated that Priest 6ander had told
hi that this woan was *rs" *aie <i##, and that he knew that this
#riest was li!ing in adultery with her"
Ahat is the conseHuenceN )id the (oan 5atholic 5hurch
e@counicate
this bundle of #erFdy for ioralityN 'h, noS 's the ?oguls? and
?high u#? oEcials of 5atholicis are cogniGant of the fact that the
#riestcraft are, as a whole, the ost ioral set of en that e!er
infested the face of the earth" ;ow, what can we e@#ect of the orals
of a country which has for its leaders and teachers en of this
caliberN Ae ight as well e@#ect our daughters to becoe woen of
!irtue and godliness, who were raised in houses of ill fae, as to
e@#ect young en and woen to becoe en and woen of orality
and
chastity, who ha!e for their teachers such en as Priest 6ander of
Brooklyn, ;ew York"
There is no denying the fact that 5atholicis has already a strong
hold u#on the a=airs of this country, as we Fnd the hydra$headed
deon in e!ery branch of our go!ernent, and since such is the case,
it is folly to deny the fact that if 5atholicis is what we ha!e
shown it to be, that her inMuence is deoraliGing, and the inMuence
of the #riesthood of 'erica u#on the orals of this country is bound
to be detriental, and who will deny the truthfulness of y
assertions, as I ha!e not isstated a single #aragra#h in this bookI
and if this is true, what shall we e@#ect of the #resent generation
and the generations that are yet unborn, if we #erit 5atholicis to
ake as great headway in the future as she has in the #astN
Ae call to ind another case which belongs to the history of to$day,
and in this cha#ter we desire to refer to the #resent sins of the
#riestcraft, as history tees with the aboinations of the
#riestcraft iorality, but in this cha#ter we want to thoroughly
con!ince the reader that the sae iorality that has e@isted in the
ranks of 5atholicis in bygone centuries, is to$day as degrading and
as ra#ant as it e!er was, and if we can do this, we feel satisFed
that we will i#ress the Protestant world with the i#ortance of
o!erthrowing the #ower of the Po#e, and erecting in its stead the
true s#irit of Protestantis, whose inMuence will not blight the
characters of our boys and girls, but which will ake of the an ary
of giants, e!er ready to battle for the chastity of our 'erican
hoes"
8ne of the ost fashionable (oan 5atholic churches in ;ew York 5ity
is ?6t" 5eciliaCs,? situated on ;orth Henry and Herbert streets"
8nly a few years ago the organist of this church went to the roo of
the #riest in charge, in co#any with a little boy" The #riest
infored this boy to stay down stairs, and in!ited the organist to
his #arlor, near which were his li!ing roos" This #riest locked the
door behind hi, and without a oentCs warning, lea#ed u#on her
like
a beast and atte#ted to bear her down u#on the sofa and coit an
assault, but her cries frightened hi away"
Aith Mushed face she rushed fro this #riestCs roo and #assed the
ser!ant, out into the street, with the #riest begging her to say
nothing about what had ha##ened" Ae want to know if this atte#ted
crie injured the #riest in the estiation of 5atholicisN ;ot by any
eans, as he continued to ser!e the church in the ca#acity of #riest,
after both this girlCs father and other had #ublicly denounced hi
as a seducer of !irtue"
The entire congregation learned of this #riestCs atte#ted assault
u#on !irtue, but this degrading notoriety did not injure hi in the
least, as his ser!ices are just as crowded as they were before" This
outrage was carried before the bisho# of the diocese in which this
church was situated, but nothing was done"
The #riest which we refer to was a drunkard, and he drank as dee#ly
after this atte#ted assault as before, and in a short tie he
assaulted a 1+$year$old girl, and not long after that he assaulted
his ser!ant, who was a girl 12 years of age, and continued his raid
u#on her !irtue until one day, while in a drunken s#ree, he struck
her and injured her, and she ade #ublic the actions of this huan
!i#er, who had been #arading in the robes of a #riest"
)id this e@#osure disgrace hi in the eyes of the 5atholic oEcials
who were abo!e hiN ;ot at all, as he continued to ser!e this ;ew
York church without olestation, and it was a notorious fact, and
known by the ebers of his church what he was accused of, but still
hundreds of boys and girls, young en and young woen, and old
en
and old woen, bowed at the feet of this de#ra!ed de!il and
confessed their sins"
If we cared, we could write fro now until our old ar would becoe
#alsied with age, and each cha#ter would be a new story of the
#erFdy and hellishness of the #riestcraft, as e!ery age reeks with
the stench of their iorality, and the countries which are
co#letely under the #ower of the Po#e of (oe are only the shadows
of what this country will becoe if this deon of darkness is not
halted, for the inMuence of the #riesthood in 'erica u#on the
orals of this country will s#read its blight o!er the face of our
fair land until our nationCs orals will be a nauseating sight to
behold"
(eader, reeber what I tell you to$day& that unless the s#irit of
Protestantis takes a Fr stand in this land against 5atholicis, we
will Fnd our Protestant ho#es and abitions within the near future
#aralyGed by the infusion of (oeCs iorality"

The 5hastity of the Hoe In!aded by the %ustfulness of the
Priest$5raft"
5atholicis begins to teach her children fro their infancy that no
act of their oEcials is i#ureI thus their followers grow u# to
belie!e that any ad!anceent ade by these oEcials are ade in
behalf of the sal!ation of their souls, conseHuently it is an easy
atter for the Priestcraft to ake the feale ebers of their
congregation belie!e that whate!er they ay do or say is done and
said through a righteous oti!e, and no stiga of disgrace can
#ossibly attach itself to the act"
Aith this erroneous doctrine funneled into the inds of the feale
ebers of the 5atholic 5hurch, is it any wonder that the Priestcraft
e@erts a wonderful #ower o!er these ebersN 'nd is it any wonder
that thousands of trusting and conFding wi!es and daughters are
forced to the le!el of iorality by this beliefN
's an introduction to this cha#ter, and in order to ake the conduct
of the #riestcraft in general thoroughly understood, so that the
reader ay know what character of en I refer to, I will gi!e a #art
of a story told by a nun who had been in a con!ent for a nuber of
years"
I re#eat what this nun related in order that the reader ay not be
co#elled to take y stateents alone" Her story follows&
?It was custoary with the sisters in our con!ent to gi!e the bisho#
and #riests of y diocese a grand dinner once e!ery year" 8f course,
this entailed a great deal of e@tra work u#on our #artI howe!er, we
were glad to undergo these hardshi#s, as I thought at that tie that
it was a #art of y religion" The Fnest delicacies of the season and
the choicest wines graced the table" The dinner was always ser!ed in
the dining$roo of the #riest of the house" The bisho# would usually
arri!e along in the afternoon about two or three oCclock" Ae would
s#read scarlet felt u#on the Moor of the cloister in honor of the
occasion, and the drawing roo would be banked with the rarest
MowersI the dining table would groan beneath its rich sil!er and
cut$glass"?
;ow, bear in ind that what I a going to tell you is what ha##ened
when there were a nuber of #riests together with their bisho# in
their idst, and it is a well known fact that ?nubers? is often a
check to the actions and ungodly inclinations of any, but if what
this nun related is true, with an asseblage of a score or ore of
#riests, with their bisho# in their idst, then what could be
e@#ected of one of these #riests alone in the #resence of a feale
who he #referredN I ake this stateent so that the reader can draw
an intelligent conclusion" I will now #roceed with the nunCs story&
?This annual dinner would be ade an occasion for great rejoicing and
recreation on the #art of the holy ecclesiastics" E!erything was all
right as long as the eal was in #rogress, but as soon as the sisters
who had waited on the had withdrawn, after #lacing an abundance of
wine, whiskey and cigars on the table, then all restraint would be
set aside and these holy fathers ONP would then e@change conFdences
as to the latest ites of news they had gathered in the confessional
fro 5atholic ser!ants e#loyed in Protestant failies, and, without
entioning any naes, would re#eat, aid shouts of drunken
laughter,
the sins that soe of their feale #enitents had confessed"
?Ae nuns would often #ut our ears to the key$hole and listen to the
stories that were being told by the #riests, and u#on y word, I
ne!er in all y life heard as any dirty, ioral, Flthy stories
told as these !agabond #riests would re#eat, and it always seeed as
though the bisho# heartily enjoyed the"
?These carousals would #roceed for hours" The whiskey bowl would be
#laced in the center of the table, then these drunken #riests would
sing songs which were !ileness #ersoniFed"?
I feel that it is not necessary for e to go further to con!ince any
one of y readers that the lustfulness of the #riestcraft is a enace
to the chastity of woankind, for if this nun has told the truth,
and which I know fro #ast e@#eriences is true, and which I also know
is a recital that could be intensiFed ten thousand ties o!er, if
the whole truth could be told, but which cannot be told in this
!olue, as I ha!e too uch res#ect for y readers to recite what I
ha!e seen with y own eyes and what I ha!e had re#eated to e by
broken$hearted ?sisters? who ha!e coe to e with tears in their eyes
and with sighs in their throats to tell e of their iseries"
?I know of a nun who s#ent any years in a con!ent, who declared
that
on any occasions the #riests would coe to the con!ent and deand
that a nuber of the nuns e!en do worse than e@#ose their entire
#ersonI howe!er, I cannot concei!e of a deand that would be ore
degrading than this of forcing those benighted souls to #rostitute
their #ersons for the gratiFcation of those who #retend to be the
followers of a cruciFed 5hrist"?
In relating her e@#erience, I understand that a nun who had been
conFned in a con!ent for years ade the following declaration&
?That the su#erior of the seinary would often coe and infor us
nuns that an order had been recei!ed fro the Po#e to reHuest those
nuns who #ossessed the greatest de!otion and faith to #erfor soe
#articular deeds, which he would nae in our #resence, but which no
oral or decent #erson could e!er endure to s#eak of, and I cannot
re#eat what these deands often were, as I would ha!e to resort to
language so Flthy that it would blush the cheek of one who was
hardened in sin"?
;ow, if those who sail under the garb of righteousness would go so
far that the inates of the con!ents, who are there belie!ing they
are doing the work of God, would rebel against the #riestsC
iorality, then what can we e@#ect of the #riestcraft when they are
in the #resence of your wife, daughter or sister, who they ay
#refer, and who has been taught to belie!e that e!ery act of the
#riestcraft is sanctiFed by God 'lightyN
Ae want to bring the history of 5atholicis down as near to the
#resent tie as #ossible, so the reader ay understand the
conFdence the ?du#es? of 5atholicis ha!e in the #riestcraft, for,
as stated in a #re!ious cha#ter of this book, it is a well$known fact
that the feinine world in general ha!e ore conFdence in huanity
than the ale #o#ulation, but to deonstrate to the reader what
i#licit conFdence the ale ebers of 5atholicis ha!e in the
#riestcraft, we call attention to Ed Butler, of the 6tate of
*issouri, who resides in 6t" %ouis"
Ed Butler is a full$Medged 5atholic and belie!es in 5atholicis
twenty$four hours each day" By the way, it ay be necessary for us to
refresh the readersC ind of the fact that Ed Butler of 6t" %ouis,
*o", is considered one of the ost high$handed ?boodlers? in 'erica,
and who has had a nuber of his ?du#es? #laced in the state
#enitentiary and ke#t hiself out of the sae institution by a
?technicality"? But to go back to the #oint that we wanted to ake,
we will just say that a 5atholic #riest in the 5ity of 6t" %ouis by
the nae of 5o=ey had a falling out with Butler o!er soe thing or
another, and in order to get e!en with hi he took sides against
Butler and said any harsh but true things about hi" 8ne day a
re#orter of one of the 6t" %ouis news#a#ers et Butler and called his
attention to what Priest 5o=ey had said about hi, and the only
answer that Butler ga!e this re#orter was& ?Father 5o=ey is a
5atholic #riest and I ha!e nothing to say, and if he should s#it in
y face I would not resent the action, as I was born and raised a
5atholic, and do not belie!e that a 5atholic #riest can coit a
sin"?
;ow, if a an of Ed ButlerCs intellect can be brought u# in this land
of intelligence to belie!e such aboinations in regard to a 5atholic
#riest, is it not reasonable to su##ose that the feale ebers of
the 5atholic 5hurch would ha!e a se!ere task in defending their
!irtue should a #riest desire to destroy it, by telling the ?that no
act of his could deFle the, as it was i#ossible for hi to sinN?
;ow, reader, you ay not know just what kind of treatent fro the
5atholic 5hurch I will recei!e for writing this book, but as soon as it
is #laced u#on the arket the 5atholic 5hurch will ?e@counicate?
eI
howe!er, it ay be #ossible that the reader does not understand what
a
horrible curse this e@counication is, but in order that you ay
thoroughly understand what I ean I will re#eat, word for word, what
soe 5atholic oEcial will declare against e for writing this book,
which will further go to show the reader the !ileness of this danable
creed, and which will also go to con!ince the reader what fear the
followers of 5atholicis ha!e of the #riestcraft, which will ore fully
con!ince you that tiid, unsus#ecting woan, who has been brought
u# to
belie!e in the #aganis of 5atholicis, can be easily led to yield to
the lustful desires of the #riestcraft, for fear that by refusing his
reHuest that he would #ronounce this terrible curse u#on her, which
she
has been taught would fore!er dan her eternal soul"
The curse of e@counication which I a certain to recei!e at the
hands of 5atholicis for writing this book follows&

I ha!e gi!en you the diabolical ?curse? of e@counication, word for
wordI thus you can see how un$5hristlike the 5atholic 5hurch is"
's I ha!e before said in this cha#ter, the foregoing is the curse
that will fall to y lot as soon as this book is #laced u#on the
arket, thus the reader can see that y oti!es for writing this
book ust coe fro a #ure incenti!e, or else I would not willingly
cut yself asunder fro all of those who I ha!e associated with
during y life" This task is not one that I enjoy, as it breaks y
heart to realiGe that I ha!e all through y life been burdened down
with this load of su#erstitious Flth, but I could not in justice to
yself and in justice to a li!ing God refrain fro the task, after I
had had y eyes o#ened to the beauties of Protestantis"
Aith tears in y eyes and with a heart full of sadness, I reeber
the angelic face of y old other, as she conscientiously taught e
y Frst 5atechis and directed y feet in the #aths of what she
sincerely belie!ed righteousness, and belie!ing in a just God, I knew
that He has taken her to His boso in His hoe beyond the skies, for
what she taught e she sincerely belie!ed, as she ne!er had her eyes
o#ened to the aboinations of the creed of which I write, and I do
not belie!e that a just God would dan the soul of a #ure other who
honestly taught what she conscientiously belie!ed, but the
#riestcraft in general are en who are abo!e the a!erage in
intellect, and are en who I belie!e ha!e often had had the sae
thoughts relati!e to the doctrines of 5atholicis that I had long,
long years before I cut loose fro the teachings of (oeI howe!er,
the #riestcraft is not to be e@cused fro their raid u#on !irtue by
ignorance, as they are taught the lessons of chastity in their
childhood, but the bond of celibacy which binds the in an unnatural
way, and the hellish doctrines taught by the 5atholic 5hurch that the
#riestcraft cannot sin, turns the into #irates u#on !irtue"
Ahen we take into consideration the fact that all of the teachings of
5atholicis lead to not only i#licit conFdence in the #urity of the
#riestcraft, but carry with the the cudgel of destruction of the
soul of her followers, if they do not subit to her teachings and
deands, we can then realiGe why it is that the chastity of the hoe
becoes a rendeG!ous for those of the #riestcraft who deliberately
ra!ish !irtue to gratify their inhuan lust"

;ations Ahich Ha!e Been )isgraced
by the Toleration of Po#ish (ule"
There is no nation on the face of GodCs green earth to$day which has
been ensla!ed by the #ower of Po#ery, and which has been burdened
by
an idle and worthless ary of Priests, *onks and ;uns, but what would
ha!e becoe, not only tired, but disgusted with their burden, if they
had e!er been #eritted to ingle and coingle with Protestant
countries, and learn that Protestantis leads to indi!idual
intellectuality and collecti!e greatness"
It is true, howe!er, that there are any countries in 6outh 'erica
that ha!e been Priest$ridden for centuries, and who are as hea!ily
burdened to$day with this ancient #arasite as e!er, who o=er not a
single #rotest, but the only reason for this is that 5atholicis has
always forbidden these #riest$ridden nations to ake any
ad!anceent
towards Protestantis, which has been instruental in kee#ing these
nations under the co#lete control of the BaticanI thus you will see
they ha!e ne!er been #eritted to taste of the grandeur of
Protestantis"
Ae will take France for instance, which was at one tie one of the
ost #riest$ridden countries on earth, but which is to$day
endea!oring to e@tract herself fro the eshes of this danable
creed, as the intelligent statesen of France ha!e learned that
5atholicis is only another nae for ignorance and su#erstition, and
they ha!e also learned that so long as the a=airs of France reain
under the control of #a#al #ower, just that long ad!anceent and
greatness stand aloof fro the #ortals of their country, so in the
#ast two years the go!ernent oEcials ha!e reo!ed tens of
thousands of the Po#eCs hirelings fro authority and ha!e closed u#
hundreds of #arochial schools"
;ow, if 5atholicis is such a glorious creed, why is it that France
is so an@ious to get rid of her inMuenceN 'hS France has learned by
coing in contact with Protestant countries that she need not e@#ect
to e!er becoe a great nation if she #erits #o#ery to control her
a=airs"
Italy, the hoe of the Po#e, has begun to wince under the BaticanCs
rule, as her national back is getting raw by the saddle of this
diabolical creed" The inhabitants of Italy ha!e been for the #ast few
years #rotesting against the high$handedness of 5atholicis, and the
oEcials ha!e begun to take notice of this !ulture of huanity, and
y #redictions are that within a !ery short tie Italy will do as
France has done and close u# the onasteries and con!ents, for just
as long as these institutions are allowed to kee# o#en house, and
dictate to the inhabitants of Italy, just that long we ay e@#ect the
iigrants who coe o!er fro Italy to bear the BaticanCs ark of
!ice, iorality and criinality"
Go to Ellis Island and watch the iigrant shi#s fro 5atholic
nations as they !oit forth their load of huan carrion u#on the fair
shores of this country, and your heart will becoe sick with fear,
as this class that hails fro the nations of #o#ery are a class, as a
whole, that will disgrace and ruin any nation on earth, as these
iigrants are en and woen who ha!e no conce#tion of a free
country, as they are en and woen who ha!e ne!er been taught to
look
abo!e the horiGon of 5atholicisI therefore they land u#on the shores
of 'erica as criinals and not as citiGens, and you cannot ake #ure
'erican citiGens out of the until you boil this hellish creed fro
their syste by the Fre of #atriotis, and this cannot be done as
long as this country #erits 5atholicis to run her ills of
degeneracy unolested u#on our shores"
'll of our large cities are infested ore or less with this
?scarlet$robed hag of hell,? and ore es#ecially our eastern cities,
as this foreign herd of the Po#eCs followers land in eastern #orts
and s#read thesel!es out like a blanket, reeking with a oral stench
o!er the eastern borders of this country, and they ake a s#ecialty
of settling in our eastern cities"
Ae will take Boston, *ass", for instance, as there is but !ery little
di=erence in the ?rabble? of that city and the ioral degenerate
class that infests the densely #o#ulated centers of 5atholic
countries"
6e!eral notorious cases of o#en deFance of ci!il law and !iolation
of ci!il rights by the tools of #o#ery ha!e recently occurred in
Boston" 8ne of these is the esca#e of two girls fro the so$called
?House of the Good 6he#herd,? in (o@bury, and the re$ca#ture of these
girls by a #olicean"
;ow, bear in ind that this ?House of the Good 6he#herd? is a
5atholic institution, #ure and si#le, but these girls who esca#ed
fro this ?#lague house,? were arrested by the #olice and returned to
this 5atholic dungeon without the seblance of law"
8n Huestioning ?The *other 6u#erior,? she said that the girls were
not coitted to the institution by the courts, but by ?the church"?
The Huestion then arose& Has the (oan 5atholic 5hurch the right to
gi!e sentence of i#risonent with hard labor as a #enaltyN For this
is e@actly what i#risonent in this ?House of the Good 6he#herd?
eansI therefore, if these girls so sentenced esca#e, what right has
a Qcity #oliceanQ to arrest and carry the back to this 5atholic
institution, which e@ists without the seblance of a 6tate law and
without an iota of oral lawN 're the #oliceen of the cities of
*assachusetts ser!ants of the (oan 5atholic 5hurchN Ha!e the
courts
the right to sentence #risoners to 5atholic #risons, and after
sentence, ha!e the #risoners no rightN *any of the are ke#t for
life, or until too old to work, and then they are set adrift to
becoe #ublic charges u#on a Protestant country, after the (oan
5atholic 5hurch has ade hundreds of dollars fro the labor of these
unfortunates"
Ae want to call attention to another Magrant case, which ha##ened in
the north end of Boston not long since"
' few onths since, a Protestant Italian faily in the north end of
Boston was about to o!e to ;ew York" There were two children and
the wife soon e@#ected to becoe other again" 6he e@#ressed the
wish that soe one would care for one of her children for a few
weeks, until she got well and was settled in her new hoe" ' neighbor
sent a woan to her who o=ered to care for the children, and when
this little one was turned o!er to her, she took it straightway to
the hoe for destitute 5atholic children, on Harrison a!enue, in
Boston" In a onth the other called for her baby and was told that
it was ?u# in the country,? and was reHuested to lea!e it there for a
onth, and was told that it would be good for the child" 6he
consented to this, belie!ing that the fresh air would be good for her
baby, but she was an uneducated woan and was inclined to belie!e
what others said, as she was an honest lady herself, but she did not
know the trickery of the 5atholic 5hurch, so when she was asked to
sign a #a#er, she readily agreed to it, not thinking that she was
gi!ing her own blood and Mesh away"
In a onth she cae on fro ;ew York to get her baby and was told
that she could not ha!e it, and was further told that she had signed
a #a#er gi!ing it away" Then the husband cae on fro ;ew York and
deanded the child, but was refused" He then a##ealed to the #astor
of the Italian *ethodist 5hurch, on Hano!er street, Boston" The two
went to a !ery #roinent (oanist oEce$holder, who was chairan of
the trustees of this so$called ?5atholic Hoe"? This an draws se!en
thousand dollars #er year fro the city, and is elected largely
through Protestant inMuence, si#ly because Protestantis belie!es
that she can refor 5atholicis by being liberal with herI but ohS
%ibertyS what cries are #er#etrated in thy naeS This Boston
oEcial, after uch talk with this Italian father, told hi to bring
a letter fro a #riest, and that he would see what he could do" The
Italian said, ?I a a Protestant,? at which the oEcial becae !ery
indignant, but after a little ore talk said& ?Bring a letter of
recoendation fro a inister"? This Italian father got a good,
strong letter coending his character fro a Protestant inister in
;ew York, and one who already knew hi, and went this tie alone to
this Boston oEcial"
In about an hour this heart$broken father a##eared before a *ethodist
inister in tears, saying& ?He will not gi!e e y child" He said I
a a bad an for becoing a Protestant, and that by doing so I ha!e
#ro!en that I a unFt to care for y children, and when I ga!e hi
y letter fro the Protestant inister, he said& CI will not take the
word of a Protestant inisterSC?
;ow, if what we ha!e related is true, which I know to be absolutely
true in e!ery #articular, would ha##en in the :nited 6tates of
'erica, ?the land of the free and the hoe of the bra!e,? you ight
know what would ha##en in a 5atholic country which is co#letely
under the tyrannical and danable rule of the Po#e"
' inister infors us that on three occasions lately, children ha!e
coe to hi and told hi that an Irish #ublic school teacher in
Boston had forbidden the to attend Protestant ser!ices, as their
#arents were at one tie (oan 5atholics, and that this talk fro
this (oish school teacher was had during school hours"
Ahat we need in this country is a ?!igilance coittee,? and we need
it badly, and we need it right away, and this coittee should be
instructed to i#each e!ery #ublic oEcial who endea!ors to usur#
the law in fa!or of (oan 5atholicis"
The brightest inds of the #ast, and the brightest inds of the
#resent ha!e #ointed out to Protestant 'erica the dangers of
(oanis, but it sees as though we will not heed their warning,
when
we see u#on e!ery side e!idences of oral decay and national
degeneracy by #eritting this ?(oish hag? to su#er!ise and
su#erintend the a=airs of this nation"
Protestant Euro#ean nations ha!e for any years beheld the des#otic
arch of 5atholicis in 'erica, and this country for a nuber of
years has been the laughing stock of Protestant Euro#ean countries
for #eritting this braGen deon to tread u# and down the a!enues of
our liberties without olestation"
' few years before Bisarck of Gerany died, he, in a #ublic s#eech
deli!ered in the Geran #arliaent, #ointed out that the (oan
5atholic 5hurch was only free in 'erica, and for the beneFt of the
reader we will Huote a #art of this great statesanCs s#eech&
?The Po#e being #urely a religious chief, there is no occasion to
kee# a #eranent #olitical re#resentati!e at his #ort" Things,
indeed, ight ha!e been left Qin status HuoQ had not the #resent Po#e
thought it Ft to re!i!e the ancient struggle of the #a#acy with the
te#oral #ower, and ore es#ecially with the Geran e#ire" The
s#irit eanating the #a#acy in this ca#aign is too well known to
reHuire coentI still we would tell the house a story, which has
long been ke#t a secret, but which had better be ade #ublic" In
12.D, when the Aurteberg go!ernent had occasion to co#lain of
the
action of the #a#acy, the Aurteberg en!oy at *unich was instructed
to ake re#resentations, and in a con!ersation which #assed between
the en!oy and the nuncioI the latter said, CThe (oan 5hurch is free
only in 'erica"C?
This nuncio further stated that the (oan 5atholic 5hurch in all
other countries had to look to re!olution as the sole eans to retain
her #osition" This, then, was the !iew of the #riestly di#loatist
stationed at *unich in 12.D, and forerly re#resenting the Batican at
Paris"
Bisarck further stated& ?I know fro the !ery best sources that the
E#eror ;a#oleon was dragged into the war !ery uch against his will
by the inMuence of 9esuit #riests"?
Aho can deny these stateents, as Bisarck was a an who ade
the
study of 5atholicis a #art of his life, and he was a an who was of
rugged character and undaunted courage, and a an who the world
at
large belie!ed"
There has not been a war for centuries #ast but what the cunning hand
of #o#ery has been i@ed u# with the blood shed in these wars, as
#o#ery ne!er isses an o##ortunity to take sides with the nation
which re#resents 5atholicis, as this creed of aboinations will
resort to bloodshed if by so doing she belie!es she can carry her
#oint and establish her rule of des#otis"
If 'erica will take a lesson fro France she will be taught a lesson
that will sa!e this country fro #assing through the sae ordeal that
France is #assing through to$day, and unless the go!ernent of the
:nited 6tates begins in the near future to su##ress this giant of
darkness, (oan 5atholicis, we will within the ne@t Ffty years ha!e
to resort to the sae eans that 5obes of France is resorting to, to
annihilate the ser#ent of 5atholicis fro our shores, or else eekly
subit to being dragged down to the le!el of (oan 5atholicis,
which
is eHui!alent to losing our identity as a go!ernent, and taking our
#laces aong the nations noted only for either ignorance, !ice or
criinality"
5atholicis does not belie!e in a free country" 5atholicis does not
belie!e in a country of the #eo#le, by the #eo#le and for the #eo#le,
as such a country is not the natural abode for this detestable creed"
5atholicis belie!es in a country which is ruled by a onarch, as
she then only has to control the onarch hiself, and this is why the
5atholic clergy and the 5atholic oEcials, fro the sallest to the
greatest, are in sy#athy with (ussia, as the (ussian go!ernent is a
ost co#lete onarchy, and the e#eror is an absolute onarch,
and
this is why 5atholicis is always ready to toss u# her hat in glee
for the success of the (ussian ary"
5atholic #relates all along the line, u# to the Po#e hiself, ha!e
been trying to ake 'ericans belie!e that (ussia is deser!ing of our
sy#athy, but her solicitude in behalf of (ussia is only a
sy#athetic shriek for her own #olluted carcass"
5atholicis ne!er sy#athiGes with any nation nor any indi!idual who
ha!e for their otto ?Eanci#ation,? as eanci#ation eans to
5atholicis a !ital blow to her teachings, as sla!ery of both body
and soul is (oeCs u##erost desire"
5an we e@#ect 5atholicis to change her aboinations without forceN
*ost assuredly not, as her e!ery ins#iration coes fro a set of en
who know no ore about loyalty to country than her du#es know about
a
li!ing God, as the Po#e is a nati!e born Italian, and her cardinals
are recruited fro the ranks of ItalyCs king$ruled inhabitants,
conseHuently it is i#ossible to e@#ect the Po#e of (oe or those
cardinals to recoend anything in harony with the teachings of
Protestant 'erica, as they are strangers to Protestantis and
'erican anhoodI therefore it would be as reasonable to e@#ect
sunlight in the ca!erns of the earth as to e@#ect (oe to recoend a
doctrine which would be beneFcial to huanity"
Ahen I declare to the 'erican #eo#le that unless this country in the
near future akes a cobined e=ort to sta# out the #olitical
intrigue of 5atholicis, or it will not be long until 'erica will
Fnd her e!ery interest tied tight and fast to the carcass of
(oanisI I do so because I feel that it is y duty to warn this
country of her awful fate, for just as sure as God reigns, just that
sure 5atholicis has 'erica ?s#otted? as her !icti, as this s#irit
of darkness has for any years in the #ast ade her boast that
?'erica is (oeCs future #ossession"?
There is not a nation on the face of the earth which has #eritted
(oe to #lant her banner of infay unolested but what has been
disgraced by the toleration of her creed, and 'erica cannot e@#ect
to eet with a better fate"
The dangers that beset the #ath of 'ericaCs future are in the for
of a #olitical ser#ent, as (oe has learned to know that by holding
out the ?!ote bait? to our #oliticians, that she can retain the
balance of #ower, as she has long since learned that as long as she
can be instruental in kee#ing two #olitical #arties, both largely
ade u# of Protestants, and Fghting each other, that she can
associate herself with one or the other by o=ering this #arty the
undi!ided su=rage of 5atholicis, and by this act she can gradually
get control of the oEces of this land, and this is her ain object,
for if she can control the oEcials, she will see that such laws are
#assed as will enable her to coil her sliy self about the !itals of
Protestant 'erica, and just as long as the Protestant denoinations
allow thesel!es to be ade Protestant si#letons of, just that long
5atholicis will fool Protestant hosts by o=ering the ?!ote bait? to
the #olitician"
Ahene!er Protestantis learns that she has a coon cause to
cha#ion, and a coon eney to Fght, then we will ha!e an
?'erican
#arty? on one side, and a ?5atholic #arty? on the other, and when
this tie coes, 5atholicis will be de#ri!ed of her cudgel of
dece#tion, and will ha!e to Fght her battles without the assistance
of ?QProtestant #artisan foolsQ,? and will cease to belie!e that she
belongs to either this or that #olitical #arty" Protestantis is a
band of 'erican #atriots, and should only ha!e the welfare of
Protestantis at heart"
5atholicis, if left alone without the assistance of Protestant
!otes, could not turn a wheel in the a=airs of this country, but by
#eritting (oanis to ake Protestantis belie!e in one of two
#olitical #arties thus di!iding the Protestant !otes, 5atholicis is
allowed to hold the balance of #ower and dictate ters to a
Protestant country"
6hae, eternal shae u#on the hosts of Protestantis for #eritting
thesel!es to be ade fools of by the (oish 5hurch, as this is
e@actly what the hosts of Protestantis are allowing 5atholicis to
do with herS
;ow, I know whereof I s#eak, as I ha!e been on the inside of #olitics
in our large cities, and es#ecially in the 5ity of 6t" %ouis, and
5atholicisCs schee is always to allow the cities to elect a
Protestant ayor, but they always endea!or to elect the other
oEcials"
8h, could I but whis#er into the ears of e!ery Protestant in 'erica
and ake the understand what I know of the cunning and dece#tion
of
5atholicis I would arch an ary of Protestants to the #olls at our
elections that would re#resent a ighty ary of #atriotisI but just
so long as Protestantis #erits 5atholicis to ake her belie!e that
it is necessary to ha!e two or ore #olitical #arties, just that long
we will ha!e #artisan block$heads, and as long as this state of
a=airs e@ists, just that long the cunning schees of 5atholicis
will be able to control the balance of #ower, which will disgrace the
fair nae of Protestant 'erica"
I solenly declare that there ne!er has been a nation co#letely
under the control of (oanis but what has been disgraced by that
toleration, and 'erica will li!e to realiGe the truthfulness of this
assertion unless she becoes ?Protestant #atriots? instead of
?#rattling #artisans"?
To gi!e the reader a better idea of what ha##ens in countries
absolutely controlled by 5atholicis, and to ore thoroughly con!ince
the reader that what I ha!e said is true in regard to nations which
ha!e been disgraced by the toleration of #o#ish rule, I desire to
re#eat a little history that is not any onths old, which ha##ened
in the :nited 6tates, where it is su##osed that an and woan can
worshi# God according to the dictates of their own conscience, and if
what we are going to relate ha##ens in this free land, what do you
su##ose is the condition in 5atholic countries that are co#letely
under the control of the Po#eN
In Aorcester, *ass", not long since, a 1D$year$old girl by the nae
of *aggie Barry recei!ed a #ublic whi##ing fro her other for
attending ser!ices of the 6al!ation 'ry"
*iss *aggie Barry, who is 1D years of age, had been for soe tie
occasionally attending the eetings of the 6al!ation 'ry, and was
desirous of becoing a eber of the cor#s, ha!ing been con!erted a
short tie since"
Her #arents were Irish (oan 5atholics and insisted that *aggie
should reain a (oanist" They regarded the 6al!ation 'ry, which is
#urely non$sectarian, as a Protestant organiGation, and they were
deterined that their daughter should ha!e nothing to do with it, and
forbade her attending any of the eetings"
8n a 6unday e!ening not long since she attended the ser!ices of the
6al!ation 'ry at ;o" J 5oercial street, where there were at least
+J- #eo#le #resent" Ahile the coander of the cor#s was reading
fro
the Bible, *iss BarryCs other cae through the doorway and down to
the front row of seats near the corner of the #latfor, where *aggie
was sitting, and grabbed her daughter by the ar and began to #ound
her o!er the head, and at once #roceeded to #ull the girl fro the
hall and down the stairs into the street, all the tie unercifully
beating the #oor girl o!er the head and shoulders"
The incident ha##ened so Huickly that for a oent the audience
could
not realiGe what was taking #lace, but as soon as the audience could
gather their wits, there was a rush ade for the street"
'fter the eeting had adjourned any of the attendants found *iss
Barry in the street wee#ing like her heart would break and afraid to
return to her hoe"
6he told the audience that as soon as she reached the street where a
nuber of relati!es were waiting for her that she broke away fro her
other and Med"
' #olicean was called into consultation relati!e to the case and
stated that as *aggie was under twenty$one years of age, that she
had better be taken to her #arents at 1+J 6ale street, and two
#oliceen acco#anied her to her hoe"
It is stated that *iss Barry has recei!ed any unerciful beatings
because she attended these religious eetings, and her old (oish
other, while dragging her down the stairs that 6unday night,
threatened to do her bodily har if she e!er attended these eetings
again"
' few days after this disgraceful and un$'erican s#ectacle ha##ened
in the streets of Aorcester, a notice in the 5entral )istrict 5ourt
a##eared that ?Q*iss *argaret Barry was charged with being a
stubborn
child and was sentenced to the AoanCs Prison at 6hearborn" 6he
a##ealed and furnished a bail" The girl was arrested on the co#laint
of her other because she would not stay away fro the eetings of
the 6al!ation 'ryQ"?
;ow, reader, you ha!e a case right in the :nited 6tates of 'erica
where a #oor girl was sentenced to #rison for attending a Protestant
eeting" Ahat do you think of a judge of a court who will sentence a
child to a 6tate #rison for attending a Protestant eetingN
Ae know what you think if you are a #ure Protestant, and we know that
your blood boils with #ure indignationI but you cannot e@#ect any
relief fro this state of a=airs and you can only e@#ect to see
things grow worse if you continue to be ?#artisans? instead of
?#atriots"?
If such things are now ha##ening in the 6tate of *assachusetts, how
long will it be before the Protestant churches in this country will
be closed u# by the order of the Po#e, and how long will it be before
those who attend Protestant eetings will be liable to arrest and

Ae can only judge the future of nations and institutions by the #ast
and #resent, and if we are to judge 5atholicis by her #ast, and if
we are honest with oursel!es, we cannot #aint a future without
#roducing a #anoraic !iew that is dreadful to behold, as 5atholicis
in the #ast has been an institution which always endea!ored to rule
by the tyranny of o##ression, and her decisions and andates to$day
are the sae as they were during the inHuisitorial days when our
Protestant forefathers were burned at the state for disobeying the
coands of 5atholic oEcials"
5atholicis akes her boast that she ne!er changesI then what are
we
to e@#ect the future to bring forth, if her dogas of danation are
allowed to fasten her intolerable hold u#on this country& for if she
?ne!er changes,? and we are co#elled to judge her future by her
#ast, which is the only rational conclusion that can be arri!ed at,
then we can e@#ect nothing ore than to behold her future trail
stained with the blood of Protestants, as such has been her history
of the #ast"
It is our #ur#ose in this cha#ter to gi!e the reader an authentic
e#itoe of a few of the doctrines and facts which we defy (oan
5atholicis to successfully deny, as what we #ro#ose to gi!e you is
(oan 5atholic law, and if such is (oan 5atholic law, then we will
ha!e no trouble in establishing the fact that no loyal 5atholics can
#ossibly be loyal 'erican citiGensI therefore should not be #laced
in a #osition where they can carry out the andates and dictates of
the 5hurch of (oe, for whene!er they are #laced in #ower and
thoroughly belie!e in the laws of 5atholicis they can not #ossibly
be naught but traitors to our 'erican for of go!ernent"
Ae #ro#ose to gi!e the reader ?5anon %aw? to establish our
stateents, as we are as well acHuainted with the laws that go!ern
(oan 5atholicis$$yea, better than we are with the laws that go!ern
this country, as we for Ffty$si@ years ha!e been directly inMuenced
by this ?5anon %aw,? and for the #ast thirty years, or since we
becae a (oan 5atholic #riest, ha!e been a ser!ant and an
e@ecutioner of this lawI therefore, I know whereof I s#eak, and no
an dare deny y stateents"
The Frst declaration of this ?5anon %aw? is& ?Q'll huan #ower is
fro e!il and ust therefore be standing under the Po#eQ"?
You will thus see that the Frst declaration of the ?5anon %aw? is to
#lace the huan faily as a whole, under the tyrannical control of
5atholicis"
'nother declaration of this law is& ?QThe state has not the right to
lea!e e!ery an free to #rofess and ebrace whate!er religion he
shall dee trueQ"?
In this declaration, you will further see that (oan 5atholicis
would, if it was within her #ower, take fro the 'erican citiGen
the right to worshi# a true and li!ing God"
The ne@t law that we will refer to is as follows& ?QThe state has not
the right to establish a church se#arate fro the Po#eQ"?
'gain you will see that (oeCs idea is to force all of huanity to
bow at the feet of her creed"
'gain she declares in her ?5anonistic %aws&? ?QThat the state has not
the right to assist the inates of onasteries and con!ents to
abandon theQ"?
'gain you will see that 5atholicis desires to usur# the rights of
the courts and establish #risons of their own without a seblance of
law"
8nce ore this ?5anonistic %aw? thunders forth her onarchial law as
follows& ?QThe (oan 5atholic church has the right to reHuire the
state not to lea!e e!ery an free to #rofess his own religionQ"?
'gain the reader will see that (oan 5atholicis with her iron hand
deands this nation to force and co#el e!ery an, woan and child
that li!es under that old red, white and blue Mag, which was bought
by the blood of our forefathers, to hubly bow to this heathenish
creed"
The ne@t, and one of the ost danable laws found aong the
?5anonistic %aws? of 5atholicis, is as follows& ?Q(oan 5atholicis
has the right to e@ercise her #ower without #erission or consent of
the stateQ"?
Aithin this (oish law any one can easily discern her onarchial
designs, as she boldly and Magrantly declares that she has the right
to do as she sees Ft, without e!en being olested or Huestioned by
the laws of this country"
Further on in the ?5anon %aws? of 5atholicis we Fnd the following&
?Q(oan 5atholicis has the right to #re!ent the foundation of any
national church not subject to the direct authority of the (oan
#onti=Q"?
Thus the reader will see that the Protestant churches of 'erica
e@ist only by and through the nuerical #ower of Protestantis, but
should (oanis e!er becoe #owerful enough in this country she
would, within the twinkling of an eye, destroy or conFscate e!ery
Protestant church now in e@istence"
Further along in this (oish ?5anon %aw? we Fnd that she strikes at
the dearest institutions of our land, as follows& ?QThe (oan
5atholic church has the right to de#ri!e the ci!il authorities of the
entire go!ernent of the #ublic schoolsQ"?
The reader will see by this declaration that should 5atholicis e!er
coe in control of the a=airs of this go!ernent that our #ublic
schools, which are the bulwarks of our 'erican go!ernent, would
ha!e their !ery foundations rooted u# and scattered to the four winds
of the earth"
The ost de!ilish and danable law, in y estiation, that is to be
found u#on the statute books of 5atholicis is the following& ?Q(oan
5atholicis has the right to reHuire that the (oan 5atholic religion
shall be THE 8;%Y (E%IGI8; of the nation, to the e@clusion
of all othersQ"?
Ae ha!e the entire #rinci#les of 5atholicis ebodied in this last
?5anonistic %aw,? as (oan 5atholicisCs ai and intention is to #ut
this declaration into e=ect as soon as she can becoe #owerful
enough to e@ecute her #lans"
In y estiation, the ne@t ?5anon %aw? that I will Huote, is the one
ost detriental to our 'erican for of go!ernent, as it is a law,
when #ut into e@ecution, that will throttle e!ery abition and
strangle e!ery ho#e that now #ereates the boso of Protestantis,
and it is one that should freeGe the !ery Mesh and blood of
Protestantis to the boneCs arrow" It is as follows& ?Q(oan
5atholicis has the #ower to reHuire the nation not to #erit free
e@#ression of o#inionsQ"?
In this last law, which is found u#on the statute books of (oan
5atholicis, we ha!e a declaration fro her rulers that would de#ri!e
you and your #osterity fro e@#ressing an o#inion in regard to (oan
5atholicisI that is, if that o#inion did not coincide with her
aboinations, and an institution which would #lace such a law u#on
her statute books is an institution which would burn and May ali!e
those who would disregard this lawI thus the reader ay ha!e soe
idea of what he or she ay e@#ect should their #osterity e!er li!e
to see 'erica #ass into the ungodly clutches of this unholy deon"
The history of (oan 5atholicis in the #ast #lainly deonstrates
what she has done and how well and awful she has carried out her
laws
herein Huoted, and 5atholicis akes her brags that she ?Qne!er
changesQ,? conseHuently the only reason why these laws are not #ut
into e@ecution in the :nited 6tates is the lack of #hysical #ower,
and whene!er (oan 5atholicis reaches the #oint in the history of
this country where she #ossesses this #hysical #ower, Protestantis
will feel her tyrannical heel u#on their necks"
That the reader ay thoroughly understand and realiGe that (oan
5atholicis of to$day is the sae as (oan 5atholicis was hundreds
of years ago, we desire to Huote a letter written by Po#e %eo LIII
during his reign, which will thoroughly deonstrate to the reader
that (oan 5atholicis of the #resent retains all of her harshness
and cussedness that she #ossessed when our forefathers were burned
at
the stake and our others were #unished for worshi#ing a true and
li!ing God, Po#e %eoCs letter follows&
?QThe teachings gi!en by the '#ostolic 6ee, whether contained in the
syllabus and other acts of our illustrious #redecessors, or in our
encyclical letters, has gi!en clear guidance to the faith as to what
should be their thoughts and their conduct in the idst of the
diEculties of tie and e!ents" There they will Fnd a rule for the
direction of their inds and their work"Q?
The reader will see fro this letter fro Po#e %eo LIII that he
reiterates to his followers the ?5anonistic %aw? laid down by his
#redecessors, aking it obligatory u#on the followers of 5atholicis
to #ut in #ractice to$day the hellish doctrines of (oan 5atholicis
of the #ast"
If 5atholicis de#ends u#on nubers and #hysical strength to
acco#lish her ends, then what ust this country e@#ect when such a
tie arri!es, as 5atholicis can go!ern by the #ower of #hysical
strengthN
Aill we ha!e any one to blae for what 5atholicis does to this
country when such tie arri!esN 'h, ;oS ;o one but Protestantis,
for if 'erica, which is a Protestant country, sits idly by and
#erits (oanis to reach a #oint where she can control the a=airs
of this go!ernent, it will be on the account of the lethargy and
ibecility of Protestantis, as we ha!e it within our #ower to$day to
halt this E#eror of )arkness before that tie arri!es, but the
Huestion is, will we do itN
The history of other nations which ha!e been controlled by
5atholicis should be enough, not only to frighten the Protestant
hosts, but to #aralyGe the with fear, as the #ages of history tee
with the awfulness of (oeCs rule, where!er she has been #eritted to
becoe aster"
France, which has been #riest$ridden for centuries, is now at this
tie in the throes of a national con!ulsion, brought about by the
tyranny of (oanis"
;ow, if (oe is such an aboinable aster and such a tyrant that
France has to de#ort the #riestcraft and close u# her institutions,
is it not tie that the :nited 6tates was taking soe ste# to
#rotect her o=s#ring fro this !ulture of huan rightsS
This country is undoubtedly a Protestant country, and if it is a
great country, which no an dares to deny, she surely owes her
greatness to Protestantis"
8ur soul is #oured into this cha#ter, as we ne!er were ore in
earnest than we are at this tie, as we can shade our eyes and look
down the a!enues of the #ast and behold naught but skeletons of
#rotestant des#air on e!ery byway which has been tra!eled by
(oanis, and when we behold this ighty waste of des#air we can
not
concei!e how the :nited 6tates of 'erica can e@#ect to fare better
than ha!e the nations of the #ast, unless she e@erts her 'erican and
Protestant anhood and gi!es (oan 5atholicis to understand that it
is tie to halt, and, in the nae of an intelligent God, forbid her
to transgress further u#on the rights of this country"
In this cha#ter we will endea!or to be e@#licit and abo!e all
truthful, and we ask God to gi!e us courage to #resent facts in a way
that will fan to life again the #atriotis that has been lulled to
slee# by the bat$like wings of (oan 5atholicis"
Ae ho#e that this little !olue ay arouse unconcerned Protestantis
to a realiGation of the fact that our #ublic oEcials are year by
year forcing her nearer and nearer the great chas of (oan des#air,
and if we can be instruental in this great undertaking we will feel
that when our race is done, that we ha!e fought a good Fght, and
will be reebered by the Protestant world as a an who taught a
doctrine which was the sal!ation of Protestant 'erica"
(oan 5atholicis has no #olitics, as she is e!er ready and willing
to join hands with any #arty that will guarantee her ore co#lete
control of national a=airs, as she teaches her followers that
whene!er they Fnd that the (e#ublican #arty will grant her reHuests
that they should be (e#ublicans, and she also teaches the that
whene!er the )eocratic #arty or any other #arty will enter into a
contract with her and grant her the right of way of de!astation, that
they should be )eocrats, or be adherents to whate!er #arty grants
the the ost #ower"
(oan 5atholicis wra#s herself about the saller oEcials and
wheedles herself into the good graces of the sall oEcials by
#roising the the 5atholic !ote, and by so doing she is able to
control the oEcials higher u# in #ower, and in this anner she
reaches the highest oEcials of the land, as we Fnd to$day the
boa$constrictor of 5atholicis wra##ed about e!ery oEcial at
Aashington city, fro the President of the :nited 6tates on down"
6u##ose that the Po#e and his tribe of liberty$destroyers realiGed
that the oEcials of 'erica were Protestants, and i#licitly
belie!ed and li!ed u# to the teachings of ProtestantisI do you think
that she would #resue to a##roach our Protestant oEcials and
deand their su##ort in behalf of her danable creed, or do you
su##ose that she would dare to send her eissaries into the halls of
our national congress and braGenly a##roach those Protestant
oEcialsN 'h, ne!erS as 5atholicis is a base coward and ne!er
akes her a##earance only where she is assured that her o!ertures
will be gracefully recei!ed"
Protestant 'ericaS do you not belie!e that you ha!e granted
(oanis
her reHuests long enough, and do you not realiGe that unless you
throttle this carni!orous beast of huan rights within the near
future that your #rotests will only be recei!ed with ridicule and
jeersN
Protestantis fro this day forward should resol!e that her ballot in
the future should be a Protestant ballot, and whene!er she has
reasons to belie!e that there is one #lace u#on their ticket that is
tainted with the aboinations of (oanis they should be dro##ed as
though they were a #oisonous re#tile"
It atters not what the oEce ay be that is to be Flled and what
#ower it carries with it, Protestantis should Fnd out whether or
not the a##licant belie!es in Protestantis, and learn, if #ossible,
whether they or their faily are tainted with the !irus of (oan
5atholicis, and if you should Fnd that the taint e@tends to any
#art of their faily then scratch the o= your ballot, and by so
doing you will hel# to woo back the s#irit of both Protestantis and
#atriotis, as one is sybolic of the other"
It ay see strange and also untrue for e to ake the stateent
that
there are cities in the :nited 6tates which are as co#letely under
the control of the Po#e of (oe as (oe herself, but such is the
case, and the city of 6t" %ouis, *o", is one of the, as (oanis
rules the inhabitants of that city with a des#otis that is only
eHualed in a nation where the #onti= of (oe is an acknowledged
ruler"
)uring the last election in the city of 6t" %ouis I was a 5atholic
#riest, and was in the 5atholic conFdence, and I declare to you as a
an of truth and before a li!ing God that it was understood between
the 5atholic church and those who controlled the )eocratic #arty
that the Protestants should elect the #resent ayor, (olla Aells, but
that 5atholicis was to be #eritted to nae the other oEcials, or
at least enough to control the city go!ernent"
;ow, is there any #olitics in such an agreeentN 'h, noI but the
only object in this secret agreeent was a desire u#on the #art of
(oan 5atholicis to control the re!enues of the city of 6t" %ouis,
as 5atholicis is a oney achine and endea!ors to kee# her
e@cheHuer
full by #reying u#on the ignorance of her followers"
I ha!e entioned 6t" %ouis only for the si#le reason that it is a
recent ha##ening, but there are a score of other cities in the :nited
6tates of 'erica which are controlled by 5atholicis on the sae
#rinci#le, as (oanis joins hands with either the (e#ublican or
)eocratic #arty if she sees a chance to #ut her hellish schees and
dogas into #ractice"
That the reader ay know what eleent controls the unici#al
go!ernents of our cities we desire to call attention to the fact
that o!er one$half of the oEcials of our large 'erican cities are
direct re#resentati!es of (oan 5atholicis, and o!er two$thirds of
all the #oliceen of these cities are the Po#eCs followers"
Ahy does this state of a=airs e@istN 'h, it is because the
Protestant !oter has ?#olitics? instead of ?#rinci#les?I therefore
you yourself are to blae for this awful state of a=airs"
Yes, I say that you are to blae, for you are a !oter and you #retend
to re#resent Protestantis but still will #erit yourself to be ade
tools of in behalf of (oan 5atholicisI then a I not right in
declaring that you are to blae for this state of a=airs that e@ists
in our large citiesN
In our unici#al elections you will Fnd (oan 5atholicis courting
the #olitical #ower which has the greatest chance of electing their
candidatesI it atters not what #arty it ay be, as (oan 5atholicis
has no #olitics, as her only desire is #ower, and it does not atter
fro what source she recei!es it, so long as it is granted her, as
(oanis is like a chaeleon, as she will change her #olitical color
to suit her surroundings if she is assured that she will be #eritted
to inject her deadly !irus into the !eins of Protestantis"
If (oan 5atholicis can e@tract a #roise fro a (e#ublican
candidate they are (e#ublicansI but, on the other hand, if they can
ake a )eocrat do their bidding, they are )eocratsI and if they
can ?wiggle? into the Po#ulistsC fa!or, they are Po#ulistsI in fact,
they are any and e!erything that will ser!e their #ur#ose and hel# to
bind and throttle Protestant #rinci#les"
The nation of France is aking history to$day, and each line and #age
of this history is a warning to Protestant 'erica, as e!ery #age of
this history is co!ered with the slie of (oan 5atholicis, for had
it not been for her tyrannical des#otis, France would not ha!e had
to close u# the onasteries and con!ents of that nation, but on
account of her teachings, and in order to #rotect the rising
generations fro her inMuence, not only ha!e the con!ents and
onasteries had to be closed, but the schools which teach her
danable dogas ha!e been closed"
Ae do not ha!e to cross the ocean and !isit Euro#ean countries to
learn of (oan 5atholicisCs de#ra!ity, but we can stand u#on the
southern shore of the :nited 6tates, alost in hailing distance of
5uba, and there behold the shores of a country which had to rebel
against the hellishness of (oan 5atholicis, as 5uba would to$day
belong to 6#ain had it not been for (oan 5atholicis, as it was her
aboinations that continually ke#t 5uba in a fe!erish ferent"
It was 6#ainCs ungodliness that brought about the 6#anish$'erican
war, and 6#ainCs ungodliness was taught her by (oanis"
The Aest India islands were the #rogenies of 6#ain, and the 6#anish
go!ernent #eritted the Pa#ists to control these islands with her
dogas of instructions, which were directly instruental in
continually kee#ing the s#irit of anarchy ali!e"
The only reason that (oan 5atholicis does not control this country
with her tyrannical hand is on account of nuerical nubers, for did
(oe belie!e that she could rule this country to$day, before the sun
would set to$orrow night this would be a nation of serfs instead of
a nation of inde#endent en and woen"
I #erha#s ha!e ade y declarations broader and stronger than any
an
of the #resent day, but I a fresh fro the ranks of 5atholicis and
I know her cunning, and since I ha!e forsaken her blind leadershi#
and drank dee# fro the well of Protestantis, I ha!e resol!ed that
no stone shall go unturned that will hel# e to con!ince 'erica of
her great danger which shadows her future by #eritting this (oish
des#ot to Mood this country with not only her blind followers, but
by being #eritted to braGenly denounce e!erything that is near and
dear to this country, as her braGen denunciations of our 'erican
institutions is nothing ore nor less than treason, and which should
be treated as such"
To gi!e the reader soe idea of what (oan 5atholicis will do if she
e!er has the #ower, we Huote an article which a##eared in a 5atholic
journal known as ?QThe 5atholic 5itiGenQ,? of *ilwaukee, Ais"

In 9uly 12K3, Eugene %awrence, in the coluns of ?QHar#erCs AeeklyQ,?
ade a #rediction that ought to con!ince e!ery sane an and woan
in
this land that the woes of France are directly traceable to the (oan
5atholic church, as *r" %awrence was a historian of national re#ute,
and a an who was a #atriot who the 'erican eagle was #roud of,
and
for the beneFt of the readers of y little book I desire to Huote in
full this #rediction ade thirty years ago, as to$day Fnds *r"

coe true" *r" %awrenceCs article follows&
?The Pa#al church is chieMy res#onsible for the decadence of
the French ind" The #riests ha!e long controlled the
education of the nation and ha!e stri!en to shut it out fro
all contact with the culture of 'erica, Gerany and England"
:nder the rule of ;a#oleon III, the 9esuits obtained the
guidance of nearly all the secondary collegesI Protestant
schools were sedulously discouraged, and nothing was taught
that could o=end the ediae!al tastes of (oe" Ahen, two
years ago, the French re#ublicans had resol!ed to found a
free and co#ulsory syste of instruction for all France as
the chief want of the nation, the #a#al bisho#s and #riests
su##ressed the easure by all their arts" They were resol!ed
to ha!e no education which they could not control" The
re#ublican o!eent failedI Bisho# )u#anlou# and his
associates succeeded once ore in shutting out the light of
knowledge fro the #eo#le, and ha!e sown the Fres of
warfare in the #lace of ental #rogress and oral culture"
?France, which has often ade the ost ra#id #rogress toward
refor, has also been the ost successful leader of odern
reaction" Its re!olutions ha!e set in otion all other
nations, but ha!e failed to #urify itself" It is ensla!ed by
a single church and ruled by (oan su#erstition" 't the
recent assebly at Paris, of all the hierarchy of France, of
9esuits, )oinicans, *onks and #relates, it was resol!ed that
all the strength of the #a#al #arty should be gi!en to an
e=ort to gras# the control of the higher education of the
#eo#le, and ake e!ery college and seinary the teacher of
the worshi# of the 6acred HeartI to conFne instruction
within the liits of (oan theology, and shut out ore
strictly than e!er before the light of odern #rogress" 't a
great and #owerful eeting of all the (oan 5atholic editors
of France, a siilar #olicy was resol!ed u#on" By a strange
re!ulsion of sentient the #ress was ade to ad!ocate its own
restriction or re#ression" The #a#al editors a##arently sigh
for a return of the ediae!al #ractices when Francis I"
burned ardent #rinters in Paris, and the 6orbonne would ha!e
banished the #rinting #ress fro France fore!er" The (oan
5atholic #a#ers in!oke the restoration of the Bourbons and of
the te#oral #ower of the Po#e, and in the ardor of a new
s#irit of artyrdo o=ered thesel!es u# to a s#iritual
bondage that ust end in their own slow destruction and the
death of the national intellect They would enforce anew that
#olicy if isolation which has Flled France with i#urity,
and left it the #rey of e#erors and arshals, #rinces and
#riests"
?France has thus dis#layed, since its Frst re!olution, a
ost rearkable contest" The s#irit of freedo has ore than
once #laced its #eo#le in front of huan #rogress, and e!er
again the s#irit of reaction has dragged the back into the
abyss of ental and oral decay" Its #riests ha!e in!ariably
triu#hed o!er its reforers" The (oan church has always
held a su#reacy abo!e the law" 8f all the national
institutions, it has alone #reser!ed its freedo of action
uni#aired" It recei!es an enorous subsidy fro the state"
Ahile all other associations are held under a strict
subjection, while #olitical eetings are scarcely allowed,
while the #ress is silenced, while Protestant churches can
hold no asseblies or synods e@ce#t by the conni!ance of the
go!ernent, while Protestant churches are forbidden to ha!e
either bell or stee#le, the (oan #riesthood hold their
councils and asseblies unrestrained, and co!er the land with
their sodalities, their societies, their #rocessions, and
their #ilgriages" The church is the only well$organiGed
#olitical #arty" Its agents are acti!e in e!ery coune" Its
se!ere disci#line #roduces order through all its hosts of
9esuits, onks and #riests" Its confessors rule in the
#alaces of the wealthy and the ho!els of the #easants" It
forbids education, it stiMes thought, it inculcates a
#itiless se!erity against Protestants and reforersI and with
natural indignation the leading (e#ublicans #oint to the
doinant church as the chief source of all the woes of
France, as sacriFcing the orals, integrity and ental
ele!ation of the nation to the single #ur#ose of aintaining
the ascendency of a foreign Po#e" The French (e#ublicans ha!e
been forced to see that the Pa#al church is the necessary foe
of freedo" It would be well if our own #eo#le could learn
fro their e@#erience, and guard with strict !igilance their
institutions fro the secret and o#en assaults of a foreign
#riesthood"
?There is no doubt, at least in the inds of the French
(e#ublicans, that to the intrigues of the Pa#al faction is
due the disordered and ho#eless condition of the nation"
GabettaCs #a#er, Q%a (e#ubliHueQ, assures its readers that
the assebly is ruled by a #arty de!oted wholly to the
ecclesiastical interestsI that they labor only to reduce the
whole country to an abject subission to (oe, and are ready
to acco#lish their ais by easures fatal to the #eace of
France" It asserts that the #riesthood fors a league as
rigorous as that o!er which the Guises ruled and against
which the Huguenots struggledI that the church has its
yriads of societies, coittees, agents, an o!erMowing
treasury, the fa!or of the go!ernent, a single ai$$an
infallible ruler" It calls u#on the #eo#le, if they would be
free, to strike down the hydra that #reys u#on the state" The
#olicy of Bisarck, indeed, Fnds its best defense in the
condition of France" If the interference of the #a#al faction
#ro!es so disastrous to the welfare of the French #eo#le, it
is #lainly the interest of Gerany to crush it fore!er by all
the resources of statesanshi#" If the rule of #a#al (oe be
so intolerable to its friends, what ight it not acco#lish
in the doinions of its o##onentsN France ay yet learn fro
its neighbors o!er the (hine the only #ath to freedo" Ahat
it sees ost to need is a Bisarck"?
If in 12K3, *r" %awrence, after aking a thorough study of the
conditions of France, could so accurately #ro#hecy what would ha##en
thirty years hence, the conditions at that tie ust ha!e been indeed
!ery #al#able, but no ore so than they are in 'erica to$day, as
(oan 5atholicis within the #ast ten years has ade greater strides
in strangling 'erican liberties than she e!er has in any twenty$F!e
years, before, as this creed of aboinations has been losing its
hold u#on not only the throats of France, but of Italy as well" 's
she has ade the e=ort of her life to #lant the seeds of anarchy and
re!olution in the boso of her followers in the :nited 6tates, in
order that she ay at the #ro#er tie, and as soon as she belie!es
she is nuerically strong enough to o!ercoe by #hysical force, to
strike a blow that will #aralyGe e!ery abition of Protestantis in
this country"
Hundreds of the best and wisest en this country has e!er known
ha!e
been for years warning the :nited 6tates of her dangers fro
(oanis, but it sees as though we will not heed the warning, but
bear in ind that unless this country does heed this warning and halt
the 5Gar of )arkness, we will li!e to see the tie when we will ha!e
to resort to ars to #rotect our Protestant interests"
The nation of France has swung out fro the #ower of the Batican, and
is to$day defying the Po#e of (oe and daring hi to do his worst,
and France is a nation that has always been a 5atholic nation and
controlled by her aboinations, but she has woke u# to the fact that
unless this hellish doctrine is sta#ed out fro her shores that she
will becoe a nation of ental #ygies and nonentities, as she has
long since learned that 5atholicis is nothing ore nor less than a
#oisonous breath that withers intellect and causes nations to decay
and sink to the le!el of (oish degeneracy"
It sees as though the Batican will not learn that the world o!es,
as the Batican is deterined that Italy shall not a##ear abo!e the
horiGon of #a#al abhorrence"
It is hard for the Batican to learn that the world o!es and that
Italy o!es with it" In its Fnal resolution, the Huarrel between the
Po#e and the French go!ernent is based on the recognition of the
king of Italy as the sole so!ereign in (oe, but the Po#e is as
deterined that hi and his reign of darkness shall be the only
acknowledged ruler of Italy"
President %oubet of France, the e@ecuti!e of this 5atholic nation,
ga!e great o=ense to the Batican, by !isiting the king of Italy,
who is in the eyes of the church a usur#er"
'ccording to the BaticanCs standards, the kingdo of Italy is not an
acco#lished fact, as the Batican refuses to recogniGe any go!ernent
in Italy sa!e that which he chooses to establish and build u# out of
the Flth and aboinations of (oan 5atholicis"
The Po#e declares hiself to be the only legitiate so!ereign in
(oe, but the Italian go!ernent has for a nuber of years been
learning that the #ower of the Batican is a #ower of darkness,
eanating fro the #utridness of #aganis, and which is detriental
to any nation that as#ires to indi!idual intellectuality, orality
and greatness"
The reader ust bear in ind that Italy is the hoe of the Po#e, and
the hoe of Po#es, and that (oe is the city of Po#es, archbisho#s
and cardinals"
This stateent can not be denied by any li!ing an, and since it is
true, we want to learn soething of the inhabitants of (oe, so that
we ay be #re#ared to judge whether (oan 5atholicis is beneFcial
or detriental to those who she rules"
Ae ake the stateent without fear of successful denial, that (oan
5atholicis is a #ower which withers the ho#es and abitions of any
nation, which is so unlucky as to fall under her tyrannical tread, as
(oanis is a #ower for e!il, uneHualed by any creed of de!iltry and
diabolical cunning e!er concei!ed by ortal an"
Ae ha!e ade the stateent that the city of (oe was one of the
ost
ioral and ungodly cities under the shining cano#y of Hea!en, and
we
ha!e also ade the stateent that (oe is the hoe of #o#es,
archbisho#s and cardinals, and we #ro#ose to #ro!e to the reader
that, while (oe is the hoe of (oan 5atholic oEcials, that she is
also the hoe of the libertine and ioral"
Ae also #ro#ose to #ro!e that the iorality of the inhabitants of
(oe is taught the by the 5atholic oEcials of (oe, as we are not
writing of what we ha!e learned fro the outh of others, but we are
writing of what we know by the #ower of sight, as we ha!e !isited
(oe ore than once in the oEcial ca#acity of (oan 5atholicis,
and we ake this stateent with a li!ing God as our witness, that
(oan 5atholicis is res#onsible for the iorality found in the city
of (oe, and this iorality is not conFned alone to the city
outside the walls of the Batican, as this atos#here of iorality
and degradation #ereates the !ery atos#here of the Batican, as
illegitiacy is found within the walls of the Batican, as well as
without"
(oe is a city of #o#es, cardinals, archbisho#s, #riests, onks,
friars and ecclesiastical students"
In the city of (oe, which is the hoe of #o#es, there are ,D
cardinals, ,J archbisho#s, 1,3.D #riests, +,2,+ onks and friars,
+,--- nuns and 1,--- ecclesiastical students, aking in all K,JK.
teachers of this aboinationI and for e!ery 3,,KJ children born in
the city of (oe, ,,1.- are bastards, and for e!ery KJ- #eo#le in the
city of (oe, there is a urder coitted during the yearI thus you
will see that this herd of 5atholic teachers are not only teachers of
iorality and degradation, but are also res#onsible for urder, as
such a #estilence of iorality will lead to urder"
Is it any wonder that France and Italy are to$day struggling with
this #olluted beast in order to free thesel!es fro her Flthy
gras#N Is it any wonder that France has closed u# the onasteries,
con!ents and schools of this aboinationS
Aith such nations as France and Italy declaring to their inhabitants
that 5atholicis is not only a nuisance but a enace to intelligence
and orality, what can this go!ernent e@#ect in the future if she
#erits (oanis to continue to Mourish in the future as she has in
the #astN
This book is not written by a an who seeks notoriety, or a an who
is writing fro a #rejudiced stand#oint, but we are writing fro what
we know of the awfulness of 5atholicis, as Ffty$si@ long years ha!e
rolled into eternity since I began to worshi# at the feet of this
ioral hagI therefore, the reader ust know that it is not a
#leasant task to acknowledge before the world that we ha!e been not
only Ffty$si@ years a follower of this creed of aboinations, but
for thirty long years we hel#ed to fasten this creed u#on the huan
faily"
I wish that it was within y #ower to becoe a s#irit, which would
enable e to na!igate the air and whis#er y warnings into the ears
of Protestant 'erica, for no nation on the face of the earth needs
the warning as badly as the :nited 6tates, as day by day, week by
week, onth by onth and year by year the BaticanCs shadow grows
longer and longer u#on our shores, and where!er this shadow of
#aganish darkness stretches itself you will Fnd the withered ho#es
of an, as (oan 5atholicisCs only abition is to #lace huanity at
her feet, which will enable her to bind her followers with the cords
of su#erstition and ignorance, as she e@ists u#on the blasted ho#es
of those who she rules"
If what I ha!e told you in the #ages of this book is true, then is it
not tie for Protestant 'erica to arouse herself fro her lethargy
and buckle on the aror of righteousness and #atriotis and go forth
to battle this ?6tru#et of 6in? with the !alor of our 'erican
forefathersN
I ha!e #rayerfully endea!ored to lay bare the sins of (oan
5atholicis, and the only hindrance I ha!e encountered in y e=orts
is on the account of not being ore failiar with the English
language, as I a a Geran born, and y #ower of e@#ressing yself
in
the English language is aterially hindered by being educated in
Gerany, but thank God that education does not stand in the way of a
li!ing God hel#ing the foreign tongue to e@#ress itself in a anner
which can be understood"
I ha!e endea!ored to infor the reader who I a, what I a, and why I
a what I a, and ha!e taken u# the aboinations of 5atholicis and
treated these aboinations in a anner that I ho#e will carry
con!iction to the hearts of the reader, as I a HualiFed to go
before not only any oEcial who has the #ower to adinister an oath
and to ake oath to the truthfulness of e!ery assertion ade herein,
but I a willing to eet y God around the great white throne in
Hea!en and stand u#on the declarations herein contained"
I ha!e endea!ored to gi!e the Protestant reader to understand that
his o=s#ring are considered bastards, and their #arents #ersons who
li!e in iorality, by not belonging to the (oan 5atholic 5hurch and
being arried by the #riestcraft"
I ha!e endea!ored to tear the ask of ignorance fro the bleared and
#olluted features of (oanis and show her u# in all of her
detestible ugliness"
I ha!e in y weak anner endea!ored to try to warn our 'erican
fathers and others of the great danger of the ?confession,? as the
confessional is the ste##ing stone that leads to (oish aboinations,
as it is there that the seed of ioral thought is #lanted and it is
there that the #urity of girlhood is Frst tarnished, and if I can
arouse Protestant others and fathers of this land to these awful
sinks of iniHuity I will consider that I ha!e been instruental in
hel#ing to obliterate one of the greatest e!ils known to the huan
faily"
I ha!e endea!ored to #oint out to Protestant 'erica the awful
istake ade by the :nited 6tates in #eritting (oan 5atholicis to
continue her debauchery in 5uba, Porto (ico and the Phili##ine
Islands, as I declare to the reader with eyes wet with grief that not
only the Mower of our ary is being sacriFced in these far away
islands, but that illions of dollars are being s#ent u#on these
islands and that (oan 5atholicis is being beneFted by this great
e@#enditure of Protestant oney, as the Po#e of (oe is as #owerful
in these islands to$day as he e!er was, and e!ery intelligent
Protestant in this land who has ade this subject a study knows full
well that had it not been for (oan 5atholicis and her outrages,
that the 6#anish$'erican war would ne!er ha!e been fought"
I ha!e earnestly tried to ake the reader understand that the
onasteries in this country are often the abodes of criinals, and
the nunneries of this land are the slaughter #ens of !irtue, and I
trust that y readers will read it in the s#irit that I ha!e written
it, and if such is the case I know that this little book will be
instruental in not only o#ening the eyes of drowsy Protestantis,
but it will be instruental in turning thousands of (oan 5atholics
fro the error of their ways and #ointing the to ?the %ab of God
that taketh away the sins of the world"?
I ha!e endea!ored to deonstrate to the reader that celibacy u#on the
#art of the #riestcraft is one of the ost danable cries known to
ci!iliGation, as it is the unarried cussedness of the (oan 5atholic
#riests that is instruental in the slaughter of !irtue"
I ha!e endea!ored to #ro!e to the reader that the (oan 5atholic
5hurch is a li!ing infaous insult to an all$wise God, by claiing
that the Po#e of (oe is an infallible being, and I belie!e that if
the reader has read y book with a deterination of discarding that
which is bad and holding to that which is good, that he or she will
close this book with an enlightened conce#tion of this de!ilish creed
which would ha!e its followers belie!e that the Po#e of (oe is on an
eHuality with 9esus 5hrist"
I ha!e endea!ored to lead the reader fro clie to clie, so that he
or she ight behold the characters of the followers of (oe, and by
co#arison I ha!e endea!ored to con!ince the reader that the
characters of the followers of (oan 5atholicis are not nor ne!er
can be on a #ar with the character of Protestantis, as (oan
5atholicis follows the teachings of #aganis, born in the kennel of
Flthiness and surrounded and led by a class of en who glut their
lust u#on the !irtue of their ?du#es,? while Protestantis is led by
the lowly ;aGarine, whose teachings ha!e ade Protestant 'erica all
that she is to$day or e!er will be"
I ha!e endea!ored to #oint out to the readers of this little !olue
the sin of Protestantis, #eritting 5atholicis to control our
#ublic schools and teach our children doctrines that will be
instruental in strangling their abitions and #aralyGing their
as#irations, which is near and dear to Protestant 'erica"
I ha!e fro the botto of an honest heart endea!ored to i#ress u#on
the reader the awful inMuence that the #riestcraft of 'erica has
u#on the orals of this country, and I trust that this task has not
been a useless one, for 'erica has no #lague that is so deadly to
#atriotis as this black$garbed ary of #riests, who tra# u# and
down the length and breadth of this land, seeking who they ay
de!our"
Aith e!ery dro# of blood in y old !eins electriFed with a desire to
ser!e a li!ing God, I ha!e endea!ored to warn Protestant 'erica of
the lustfulness of the #riestcraft, who without a blush of shae
in!ade the chastity of our 'erican hoes, and by the hellishness of
this (oish doctrine #ollute the wi!es and daughters of this fair
land"
I ha!e #ointed out the dangers which beset this nation by the
toleration of Po#ish rule, and ha!e co#ared Protestant nations with
the nations which ha!e been orally daned and disgraced by
(oanis,
and I trust that y co#arisons will lead an intelligent #ublic to
see the dangers that beset this country unless (oanis is relegated
to the e!erlasting haunts of obli!ion"
In conclusion I desire to say to the reader that he or she will ne!er
know of the diabolical cunning of this (oish doctrine, for it is
i#ossible for ortal an who has tra!eled this road of debauchery
to e!er #ortray in #rint to the #ublic what he has seen along this
journey of ignorance, su#erstition and iorality, as no an who has
the welfare of the young and rising generation at heart would sink so
low as to write all of the awfulness that I ha!e seen u#on y journey
for thirty years u#on this (oish highway of carnality, as e!ery turn
in the #ath that leads through this desert of desolation is strewn
with the bleached bones of abition"
There is not an oasis in this !ast stretch of (oish desolation, as
her e!ery abition is to rule by su#erstition, ignorance and tyranny"
'gain I would warn Protestant 'erica that we are nearing the
trenches of #hysical strength, and unless we infuse into our
Protestant anhood the liHuid Fres of Protestantis, the tie is not
far distant when the Bunker Hill that was ade faous by the blood of
our forefathers will ha!e her base dri##ing wet with the blood of
Protestantis, in defense of the #rinci#les that ha!e ade 'erica
all that she e!er has been, all that she is, and all that she ay
ho#e to be"
5an we e@#ect anything else should (oan 5atholicis e!er becoe
nuerically strong enough to rule by #hysical strengthN The answer to
this Huestion ust coe fro the #ages of (oish history, and this
history has e!ery #age wet with Protestant blood shed by this *onarch
of )arkness, as KJ,---,--- Protestants to$day slee# beneath the sod
of the uni!erse, bearing the scars of (oish torture"
*y task is doneI y warning has been soundedI y #rayers ha!e been

For the sake of right, I bade farewell to the associations of y
