to-day wherever
she can fasten her hellish belief upon the minds of the people?

Hardly a day passes over our heads but what we see in some newspaper
where Catholicism is brazenly declaring to the intelligent public
that miraculous cures are being performed by some "hoodoo saint" of
their idolatrous creed.

One would believe that in enlightened America the Roman Church could
not wield such an idolatrous influence over her followers, but when
you stop to think that the children of Catholic parents are brought
up from infancy to believe all of this "hoodooism," it is not strange
that they fall into these idolatrous practices.

When America learns that the majority of the convents and monasteries
of this country are used for the purpose of shielding and protecting
Catholic criminals, and for the purpose of Catholic dignitaries to
glut their lust upon the female inmates of these institutions, and
will exact and demand laws that will force a rigid examination every
thirty or sixty days of these institutions, then the world at large
will know and thoroughly understand that these institutions are
practically the homes of depravity and licentiousness.

To give the reader more information in regard to what Catholicism
resorts to to impress their "dupes" with their idolatry, we want to
take up their great magician, "St. Anthony." The Catholic priesthood
teaches their followers that St. Anthony's spirit possesses the power
to answer all prayers, in fact, to perform any favor the supplicant
may ask.

Now, to illustrate what I mean, is this: Suppose you had lost your
pocketbook containing $50.00; the Catholic Church teaches that all
you have to do is to pay a few dimes into the priest's pocket and
then get down and pray to St. Anthony and you will at once learn
where your pocketbook is.

Now, bear in mind that this praying to St. Anthony don't cut any ice
unless you pay something, as every prayer must be backed up by money,
and the more money paid the quicker action you can get on St.
Anthony.

The Catholic Church calls it "St. Anthony's Bread Box," and right by
the side of this box they have a large number of small candles, and
you are supposed to drop the money into this box to pay for the
candles that St. Anthony uses when looking for what is lost, or to
light his path on his road to answer your prayer.

These candles cost the priest from one-half cent to one cent each,
and the "dupe" will drop in from ten cents to te
