God will hasten the day when this "_virtue trap_" will be relegated
to the dark recesses of paganism, from whence it came.

Chapter VI.

The Nations Completely Dominated by
the Power of the Pope Are Nations of Illegitimacy.

In this chapter, we have before us the vision of two countries; one
is Protestant America and the other Catholic Ecuador.

Protestant America stands upon a plane of morality and chastity,
which is pleasing to contemplate, and for which she can thank only
the principles of Protestantism, for Protestantism teaches, by both
precept and example, as she looks to the only true standard of
morality that ever existed, which is the Holy Bible. But Catholicism
looks only to a standard which the Pope of Rome sees fit to
establish, and a standard of morals which is set by mortal man, can
only be, at its best, a very inferior standard, as the licentiousness
and lust of unholy man can never compare with that great and
infinitely good _being_, the Lord of Hosts.

Broad education of the mind means a subduing of the passions, and
_broad_ education is something that the Catholic Church fights
against, as she knows full well that to educate her masses would be
equivalent to losing her grasp upon their actions, for no man or
woman of a broad education and an individual intellectuality will
permit these hosts of darkness to dictate to them.

Ignorance is the greatest breeder of crime known to the intelligence
of man, and it is an established fact that crime breeds immorality,
and immorality of course is the equivalent of illegitimacy, and
historical facts will bear me out in the assertion that the countries
which are absolutely under the power of the Pope are countries which
are densely ignorant, and again, as above stated, ignorance leads to
crime, and crime to immorality, and now we are back to the first
proposition and have proven without going further that "The nations
completely dominated by the power of the Pope are nations of
illegitimacy," but we propose to use historical records to convince
without the shadow of a doubt that our statements are true. However,
I do not need these historical facts, as I have traveled extensively
through Europe and many other countries, and I know whereof I speak,
by persona
