Has the Roman Catholic Church Been
Slandered ?
(Continued from Page One.)
dared its independence of Popish control; anti
which, in 1745, had given a final blow to the ef¬
forts of the Catholic Stuarts to “come back.”
The Battle of Culloden was fought in 1745,
only 30 years before Charles Carroll got his chance
to strike at the Protestant monarch of Protestant
England.
How many Romanists helped found our gov¬
ernment, when the Constitution of 1787 was made
ai d ratified ?
How many Romanists have ever subscribed to
• ur basic principles of government?
Those principles are, the Sovereignty of the
People, their right to rule themselves, their right
to freedom of conscience, their right to freedom of
wtrship, their right to free speech and free press?
How many Papists can now subscribe to the
principle of complete separation of Church and
State?
How many of them can now say, honestly,
that they believe in the right, of the State to con
trol edcation?
Will this anonymous writer in the Times
News, sign his name to a declaration that Amcri
ean Papists acknowledge the validity of Protestant
marriages 1
No! He dare not!
'1 he Pope’s law’ and the Pope's Encyclical let¬
ters denounce your marriage and mine, as filthy
children concubinage, and they lay upon the graves of my
the foul “ slander ” of bastardy.
Every Protestant grave is desecrated- with that
Popish, devilish slander.
I he Law of t he Roman Church, reproclaimed
bv Pope Pins X. in 1867, denounces the separation
of Church and State: denounces civil and religious
liberty: denounces State education, when not con¬
trolled by Papist teachers; denounces freedom of
speech and of press.
I his Law of the Church—first codified at the
Council of Trent, in the 16th Century—was re
sanctioned and re-published by the Pope who ruled
during the War between the States and continued
to rule until 1873.
That horribly medieval, reactionary, despotic
law has never been modified, and is the law of
every “good Catholic” of today.
To supplant our laws with these autocratic
laws of Rome, is the aim of the Knights of Colum¬
bus, of the Anci-mt, Hibernians, of the American
Sinn Feiners, of the Clan-na-Gael, and of eveiy
Jesuit.
The priests arc sworn to this: the bishops are
sworn to it: the Cardinals are sworn to it!
Can our system of modem civilization be
reconciled with Popery?
Pope. Pius IX. said “No!” and he made it a
separate clause in the Syllabus of 1864. officially
sanctioned in 1867.
What, then, is perfectly plain to all intelli¬
gent Americans?
This is: that our system must surrender to
homes, , must combat it,

less energy displayed by Martin Luther, John
C ilvin, John Knox, Gnstavus Adolphus, Count
Manfred, William the Silent, Admiral Coligny,

Our Constitution is anti-Catholic: our Go

hence, there is no mention of God in its organic

Old Mister Lloyd George—a mere Welsh

hold all the loot she has ever obtained by force,
fraud, hes, cheats, swindles, and ruthless blood¬

THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL, HARLEM, GA.
1» rest by the perpetual misuse of the name of God.
The Roman Church is not like any other: its
machinery it political: its ambition is political: the
aims of its Jesuits are political: it seeks to subdue
the mind of the layman, in order that its control of
him shall be political.
The Roman Church is an Italian Secret
Society, aspiring, to rule the world, by the prosti¬
tution of religion.
The Popes have been Italians, ever since
“Columbus discovered America”—excepting a few
months when Charles V. secured the election of his
old Flemish schoolmaster—who soon ate something,
or drank something, that disagreed with him.
Then he died.
The majority of the Electoral College are
always Italian Cardinals, and have been so for 400
years; and will be so, for another 400 years.
Close corporations, self-renewing, never com
mit suicide, never abdicate, never voluntarily suv
render their monopoly.
This Italian Mafia is at deadly antagonism to
all democracies, all republican institutions, all in¬
dividual freedoms of thought, belief, and action.
Popery is the Black Hand menace to modern
civilization and progress: it can sing low, until its
time comes: it can walk humbly, till its time
comes: it can wear the mask of humility, virtue,
and amiability, until its time comes; and when its
time does come, Woe to the Protestants !
So late as 1895, it burnt to death ten Mexican
‘ i eretics,” in Mexico, on the public of Tex
square
acapa, under the Law of the Roman Church; and
three of the “heretics” thus publicly burned were
women , while one was an infant child.
The names of these victims of the Popes’ law,
■were Nicholas Hernandez, Juan Tomas, Martin
Santiago, Caspar Hernandez, Jose Manuel, Juan
1 <. mas, Jr., Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena, Maria
Conceptione, and the unnamed infant.
The fact of the tragedy was published as a
news-item, in the Sunday New York World, Nov.
.1, 1895: and it was re-published, in the Thrice-a
Week World, Nov. 4, 1895.
So late as 1896, the Roman Church shot Dr.
Jose Rizal, in the open at Manilla, Philippine
Islands.
So late as 1909, it shot Professor Ferrer, be¬
cause he was introducing Modem Schools in Jes¬
uit-ruled Spain.
And only four years ago, it shot William
1 lack, in Texas, for lecturing against its abomina¬
tions.
It prosecuted me, for five years, because I
re published a portion of its own obscene “Ques¬
tions for Women at the Confessional .”
And it is now threatening my life, for writing
just such articles as this!
Yet, the anonymous Jesuit, who fills a whole
page in the Times-News .professes to be pained and
surprised at the prairie-fire of wrath that is raging
as :.inst the despotic and murderous byste^of
Popery.
Nobody has the slightest inclination to deny
religious liberty to Papists: but when the Italian
Ecclesiastical Black Hand endeavors to control our
government, change our institutions, intimidate our
speakers, silence our writers, poison our literature,
falsify our history, papalize our schools, annul
i li marriage laws, exempt its priesthood from the
jurisdiction of our courts, and put the brains of
free-men under the shaven crown of bachelor lib¬
ertines of Romo, then we owe it to our heroic
ancestors to combat this systematized cam
paign which seeks to re-enthrone a degrading super¬
stition that has blighted every nation it has domi¬
nated.
It is a case of American liberty's self-defense
against, the ,
foreign Italian Secret Society,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Hon. Jas. H. Boykin Endorses Plan for Meeting.
The suggestion which has been made to have
a mass meeting at Thomson to protest against the
acceptance of the League of Nations by this COU1I
try and to have Hon. Thos. E. Watson'as the prin¬
cipal speaker, meets with general approval.
As September 5th is Mr. Watson’s birthday,
I believe that date would be the most appropriate
time to have the meeting. His friends throughout
Georgia should get busy and make the occasion a
great success.
Laying aside all prejudice and looking the
facts squarely in the face, it must be admitted that
Georgia’s brilliant statesman—the “Sage of Hick¬
ory Hill”—has done a great work in the interest of
the masses of the people. He has at all times been
the able and fearless champion of true Jeffersonian
democracy and his record of achievement is one to
be proud of.
But right now he is doing the greatest work
of his life in exposing the rottenness of the so-
