inely constituted judge_."--_Ibid._

"I never think of publishing any thing in regard to the Church
without submitting my articles to the Bishop for inspection,
approval, and endorsement."--_Ibid._

In view of the foregoing, and other facts and arguments which we will
hereafter present, we cannot be mistaken in our views of Roman
Catholicism. We cannot tamely surrender our dearest rights as
Protestants, without a struggle. We cannot cry peace, peace, when there
is no peace!

"Protestantism, of every kind, Catholicity inserts in her
catalogue of moral sins; she endures it when and where she
must; but she hates it, and directs all her energies to effect
its destruction."--_St. Louis Shepherd of the Valley._

"Religious liberty, in the sense of a liberty possessed by
every man to choose his religion, is one of the most wretched
delusions ever foisted on this age by the father of
deceit."--_The Rambler_, 1853.

"The Church is of necessity intolerant. Heresy she endures when
and where she must, but she hates it, and directs all her
energies to its destruction. If Catholics ever gain an immense
numerical majority in this country, religious freedom is at an
end. So say our enemies. So say we."--_Shepherd of the Valley._

"The liberty of heresy and unbelief is not a right.... All the
rights the sects have, or can have, are derived from the State,
and rest on expediency. As they have, in their character of
sects hostile to the true religion, no rights under the law of
nature or the law of God, they are neither wronged nor deprived
of liberty, if the State refuses to grant them any rights at
all."--_Brownson's Review, Oct., 1853_, p. 456.

"The sorriest sight to us is a Catholic throwing up his cap,
and shouting, 'All hail, Democracy!'"--_Ibid, October, 1852_,
pp. 554-8.

"We think the 'masses' were never less happy, less respectable,
and less respected, than they have been since the reformation,
and particularly within the last fifty or one hundred years,
since Lord Brougham caught the mania of teaching them to read
and communicate the disease to a large proportion of the
English nation; of which, in spite of all our talk, we are
often the servile imitators."--_Shepherd of the Valley, Oct.
22, 1853._
