when I behold them tramping the streets of our
large cities, as I realize that they actually believe they are
performing God's work, when the truth of the matter is that they are
only following the practices of heathen nations.

I could go on and write a thousand pages upon "The Unmarried
Cussedness of the Roman Priestcraft," and each page would be as black
as the shadows of hell, but I deem it unnecessary, as I have
confidence in those who may read this book that they will believe
every word of what I have written, therefore it is unnecessary for me
to dwell longer upon the hideousness of celibacy.

In conclusion, I desire to say that so long as Roman Catholicism
demands that her priestcraft shall not wed, just so long the
priestcraft will remain vultures of virtue and just so long convents
will be turned into carnivals of vice.

It is only natural that such should be the case, as both the
priestcraft and the inhabitants of our convents are brought up from
childhood to believe in the absurdities of Roman Catholicism, and to
believe that all of their many sins can be pardoned by the cungerings
of this Romish doctrine.

My prayer is that the government of the United States may learn in
the near future that the broad light of Protestant inspection must
penetrate these recesses of darkness before we can ever have them
cleansed of their immorality, and this inspection must be made
often, and I sincerely believe that the time is not far distant when
Protestant America will demand that Catholicism shall do away with
her monasteries and nunneries, unless she submits to a rigid
examination of her actions, and whenever she submits it will be
because she is forced to submit, and whenever she is forced to do so,
these monasteries and convents will be closed up, as Protestant
America will not allow nor permit these plague spots to exist to
pollute the fair name of America when she learns of their actual
mission.

Chapter X.

A Brazen Insult to God.

Catholicism teaches that the Pope of Rome is infallible and cannot
sin, neither can he make a mistake. This claim, if true, would place
the Pope of Rome, who is nothing more nor less than a human being,
upon the same footing as Jesus Christ.

The Bible says, "There are none pure; no, not one." Now, if th
