aiding the identical institution which caused the misery in these
far-away countries.

What I tell you in this chapter is true, as I was a Catholic priest
and was on the inside of the workings of Catholicism at that time,
and what I relate is not guess work nor imagination, but it is plain,
unvarnished and unadulterated truths, and the American people will
sooner or later wake up to the realization of these awful truths, for
just so long as the United States permits Catholicism to control the
destinies of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands, just that
long turmoil and misery will remain in these tropical regions, for
Catholicism has sworn by all of her imaginary saints that
Protestantism shall never rule these countries, and so far she has
carried out her threat truly and well, as Protestantism to-day has no

Can you expect these countries to grow in greatness, and can you
expect the inhabitants of these countries to become giants in

We want to give the reader an insight in this chapter to what
Catholicism practices in this country and in other countries that are
not near so densely ignorant as Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands, and then you can have an idea of what the inhabitants of
these countries may expect in the way of advancement from
Catholicism, and what I will repeat is the abominations that I have
helped to practice myself for thirty years; therefore I know whereof
I speak and no man dare dispute.

We will take a Catholic cemetery, for instance, and in order that the
ground may be sanctified and fit to receive the dead bodies of those
who believe in the Catholic faith a bishop must sanctify this earth
and consecrate it before it is fit to conceal the body of one of the
Pope's followers.

Our Savior has declared that "From earth we came, and to earth we
shall return," and there was no proviso made that before we should
return to earth that it would have to be consecrated by a human
being, as any man or woman of intelligence knows full well that what
the Lord our God has made cannot be improved upon by the idiotic
chant and superstitious rant of a Catholic bishop.

It matters not how godly nor how piously a Protestant may have lived,
Catholicism teaches t
