as to fall under her tyrannical tread, as
Romanism is a power for evil, unequaled by any creed of deviltry and
diabolical cunning ever conceived by mortal man.

We have made the statement that the city of Rome was one of the most
immoral and ungodly cities under the shining canopy of Heaven, and we
have also made the statement that Rome is the home of popes,
archbishops and cardinals, and we propose to prove to the reader
that, while Rome is the home of Roman Catholic officials, that she is
also the home of the libertine and immoral.

We also propose to prove that the immorality of the inhabitants of
Rome is taught them by the Catholic officials of Rome, as we are not
writing of what we have learned from the mouth of others, but we are
writing of what we know by the power of sight, as we have visited
Rome more than once in the official capacity of Roman Catholicism,
and we make this statement with a living God as our witness, that
Roman Catholicism is responsible for the immorality found in the city
of Rome, and this immorality is not confined alone to the city
outside the walls of the Vatican, as this atmosphere of immorality
and degradation permeates the very atmosphere of the Vatican, as
illegitimacy is found within the walls of the Vatican, as well as
without.

Rome is a city of popes, cardinals, archbishops, priests, monks,
friars and ecclesiastical students.

In the city of Rome, which is the home of popes, there are 39
cardinals, 35 archbishops, 1,469 priests, 2,832 monks and friars,
2,000 nuns and 1,000 ecclesiastical students, making in all 7,576
teachers of this abomination; and for every 4,375 children born in
the city of Rome, 3,160 are bastards, and for every 750 people in the
city of Rome, there is a murder committed during the year; thus you
will see that this herd of Catholic teachers are not only teachers of
immorality and degradation, but are also responsible for murder, as
such a pestilence of immorality will lead to murder.

Is it any wonder that France and Italy are to-day struggling with
this polluted beast in order to free themselves from her filthy
grasp? Is it any wonder that France has closed up the monasteries,
convents and schools of this abomination!

With such nations as France and Italy declaring to their inhabitants
that Catholicism is not only a nuisance but a menace to intelligence
and morality, what can this government expect in the future if she
permits Romanism to continue to
