the child is not to blame for its implicit
confidence, but the cunning of those who practice this deception upon
this child is to blame, and the doctrine of Catholicism is what I am
assailing in this volume, for if I can be instrumental in opening the
eyes of those who have arrived at the years of accountability, I feel
sure that I can be instrumental in having those so reached declare to
their offspring that their first lessons have been altogether
erroneous, and if the Catholic parents will begin to teach their
children before they leave the parental roof that their first lessons
were erroneous it will not be so hard for the Protestant world to
finish the job and turn these hosts of darkness into the highways of
intellectuality.

The reason that we have so many disgraceful happenings and immoral
incidents in the lives of the priestcraft is because of the absolute
confidence that their followers have in them, as it is a well-known
fact that the female world has a greater confidence in humanity than
the male population, so it is an easy matter for any sane man or
woman to understand why an immoral priest, and one who has no regard
for honor, has such an easy task in accomplishing the ruin of those
whom he seeks to destroy.

The paradise of the priestcraft is inky darkness, as they prefer
darkness to light, and by their actions, their every-day lives take
on the hue of midnight. If we can read God Almighty's hand-writing in
a legible manner, we believe that any intelligent man or woman can
discern in the countenance of a majority of the priestcraft a look
which is almost equal to a condemnation of their actions, as a large
majority are lacking of that manly frankness of countenance which is
found in the countenances of godly men.

In conclusion of this chapter, I beg to state that the Confessional
Box of the Romish Church is one of the darkest pages of the dark
history of Catholicism, and if this hideous chapter was removed from
Romanism, three-fourths of her diabolical deeds would be eradicated;
but when you remove the "Confessional" you remove the charm for that
part of the priestcraft which exists upon the carrion of the human
family, and whenever you remove the "Confessional," the celibacy of
the church will be abandoned and the priestcraft will be allowed to
marry, as Protestant ministers are permitted to do, and when this is
done, instead of having a Roman Catholic Church, we will have a
Protestant denominatio
