One of Our U. S. Battleships
Used As a Print-shop and
Press-room For a Roman
Catholic Publication!
'T'HE law of this land guarantees freedom
1 of worship, and freedom to not worship.
But this law is not binding on Roman
Catholic priests, who are taught that free
dom of conscience and of Bible reading is a
deadly sin.
Wherever the priests are in control, they
force the pope’s superstitions upon the help
less.
The priests do this on our battle-ships,
where the Catholic chaplains have been made
officers, at a salary of $2,000 a year.
These priests are sw’orn to persecute Pro
testants, and they are sworn to obey a for
eign ruler, to-wit, the Italian Pope.
Yet this Democratic Administration has
changed the law in their favor, so as to make
them the commanders of our battleships dur
ing certain days.
On those days, these Papal subjects whom
we pay $2,000 apiece, compel Protestant sail
ors to attend Catholic worship, and to keep
the Catholic fasts.
But I did not know that these Roman Cath
olic chaplains have been allowed to turn our
battleships into Papal propagandists, by us
ing them as print shops, for popish literature.
That astounding fact is communicated in a
letter which follows and which tells the tale
with sufficient fullness.
I will only add, that the Chaplain John J.
Brady, calls his popish magazine the “ Parish
Monthly” and that the U. S. battleship, Ohio,
IS THE PARISH.
The magazine is chock full of rotten popish
dope and lies, about “the Virgin.”
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 23, 1914.
My Dear Sir: Many of my friends as well as
myself enjoy reading your Magazine and paper,
The Jeffersonian. We feel that you are right in
all your writings, and desire to express our sin
cere appreciation of your courage and fearless
ness in your publications.
The enclosed was handed to me by a gunner
in the U. S. Navy, stationed at Philadelphia and
on one of the battleships at Leage Island.
They have their press aboard the U. S’. S. Ohio,
and print the enclosed probably at Government
expense.
The priest who edits and publishes it is a new
one. It is hard to think that the Secretary of
the Navy would permit such a pamphlet to be
published on one of our battleships and circu
lated among the sailors.
It makes American blood boil to know and see
what they are permitted to do.
With best wishes for your continued success
and ultimate triumph in the good work, I re
main. Yours truly, T. W. G.

The Supreme Court of Massa
chusetts Passes On Another
Maria Monk Case.
• - 7
\I7HAT will the Roman Catholics say about
the case of Carina versus Beaven, in The
Northwestern Reporter?
The decision was handed down by the Su
preme Court of Massachusetts, on October
24th. 1914.
The ease is new, and yet old. It is new in
that it is the most recent exposure of the im
morality of a bachelor priesthood. It is old,
in that it accords with the putrid record which
these bachelor priests have always made, ever
since Pope Gregory VII. determined that the
Papacy should have the service of men who
had no family ties and affections.
In this Massachusetts case, a priest named
Petrarca, who was known to his bishop
to be a bad, lustful man, was appointed to a
parish, where he had power over young
women.
One of these women was 18 years old and
she excited the carnal desires of the bachelor
priest.
This young Catholic woman was in the
“Sacred Heart” church, doing duty at the
altar, alone, when the priest came out of his
private room, (the vestry) seized her, and
dragged her into the AND RAPED
HER, in the Sacred Heart church building.
There seems to have been no dispute about
the facts. The Supreme Court assumes that
Petrarca did ravish the girl in the sacrilegious
manner alleged.
But she sued the Catholic Bishop who had
appointed Petrarca. Her case proceeded
upon the idea that the Bishop (Beaven) knew
Petrarca’s lustful character, and was there
fore legally responsible for what he did in
the position where the Bishop put him.
Upon the same theory, the law holds you
and me responsible, if we knowingly place
a vicious dog, or bull, or horse where it can
injure other people, without fault on their
part.
That principle is sound, in morals and in
law.
In the case of Bishop Beaven it especially
applied, because the Catholic women of the
congregation had a right to feel certain that
their Bishop would not knowingly put them
in the power of a priest whom he knew to be
vicious.
But the Supreme Court of Massachusetts
stretched the law, and saved the Catholic
Bishop.
In the dicesion of the Court, it is held that
the Bishop could not have anticipated that
Petraraca “would do more than to seek to
seduce the women of his parish into acts of
adultery, or fornication.”
According to this amazing language of the
highest Court in old Masachusetts, the Bishop
would have been a party to the crime, had he
seduced the Carini girl, instead of raping her!
The Supreme Court says that this Catholic
Bishop placed a Catholic parish, and a lot of
Catholic women and girls, in the power of a
priest whom the Bishop knew to be immoral,
and whom the Bishop knew would attempt
to seduce the maids and have sexual relations
with the married women.
Good God! What about the Catholic
women who had already been the partners of
this priest’s vices?
Was the Bishop going to continue to give
this lustful priest a free rein—so long as
nothing leaked out?
Was this Bishop and this priest among the
number who got so angry with me, because I
exposed the secret doings in the church and
the natural vices which corrupt a bachelor
priesthood ?
No doubt Bishop Beaven is one of those
who contend that Maria Monk told lies on the
priests. , •
What is Cardinal O’Connell going io do.
with such a Bishop as Beaven ? >
What has been done to the ravisher, Pet
rarca ?
This crime was committed right under Cat-*
dinal O’Connell’s nose.
What about it, William?
The Supreme Court of Massachusetts
makes a new law to save the Roman Catholic
bachelors. x. >
The Court says, in effect, that the Bishop
cannot be held responsible by the victim of his
appointee, because the Bishop didn’t expect
rapes.
All that the Catholic Bishop expected from!
Petrarca were the usual bachelor-priest seduc
tions, fornications, and adulteries!
It is not the voice of poor Maria Monk!
It is not the voice of Margaret Shepherd.
It is not the accusing voice of Chiniquy, or
Fulton, or Hogan, or McCabe, or Ferrando,
or of the Senate Document 190, of the U. S.
Government.
It is the solemn voice of the highest Judi
cial Tribunal of that grand odd Bay State—-
the State of Lexington, Concord, Paul Re
vere, and Faneuil Hall.
And that awful voice says, that Bishop
Beaven deliberately appointed a priest whose
crimes against Catholic women were known
to him, an dwhose lustful passions made it
certain that he MOULD CONTINUE TO.
SEDUCE CATHOLIC MAIDS, CON
TINUE TO CORRUPT CATHOLIC
MINES!
Have I over gone farther than the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts?
The Anti-Romanist Daily Paper:
It Was Needed.
AT last we have a daily paper that is a
straight out champion of American prin
ciples, liberties and institutions.
The name of the paper is FREE SPEECH,
It is published at Munroe, Wisconsin, price,
$2.00 a year.
The editor-in-chief is W. L. Brandon,
founder of The Sentinel, which is a weekly,
published at the same place.
There has been a most gratifying increase
of anti-Papal books, pamphlets, magazines
and papers, evidencing a general awakening
to the dangers threatened by political Ro
manism. )
Popery is not a religion save to the un
initiated multitude, on the outside.
To the initiated members of the secret so
cieties, it is a plunder-bund, after money, and
a political machine, after power.
It will profess any sort of popular doc
trine, and commit any sort of secret crime, to
get money and to get power, for the priests.
It is a close Italian corporation, made up
of a number of criminal secret societies, such
as the Jesuits, the Dominicans, the Francis
cans, the Hibernians, the Clan-rta-Gael, the
Whiteboys, and the Fourth Degree Knights
of Columbus.
Every local policy is controlled by the local
secret society.
Every national policy is controlled by the
Italian Cardinals at Rome.
The poor old Pope is really a prisoner iri
their hands, very much as the Emperors of
China were prisoners of the governing clique
of Manchus.
The Pope does and says what he is ordered
to do and say; and if he-w’ere to refuse, the
Italian cardinals would poison him. j
They poisoned Pope Clement XIV. because
he dissolved the Jesuit society. It is vehe
mently suspected that some of the many sud
den deaths inside the Vatican, recently, were
the result of poison.
Our people are at last becoming intensely,
concerned about this religious Black Hand
which threatens us from Italy, and I am!
heartily glad that Mr. Brandon has launched
the much-needed daily paper. ' <
