Everything that is not in the Bible is taken by the Catholic Church
from the heathens and the Jews, and you will find the doctrines and
the practices of Catholicism founded upon heathenish practices and
not upon the broad plane of morals taught by Jesus Christ.

Those who may read this book, and who are not acquainted with the
characters of the rabble of Catholicism, we would be glad to have
them go to any of our large cities and visit some of the districts of
these cities which are inhabited by the followers of Romanism, and
there you will find a class whose countenances alone would condemn
them in any criminal court of the land, as they are men and women who

European countries, and who are as ignorant as rams and glory in
their ignorance, and who have no idea of patriotism and of loyalty to

grasp to pull Protestantism down to her degraded level. Catholicism
lowers the standard of public opinion. She makes war on morality and

a well-known fact that "evil communications corrupt good manners,"
and if this is the case, then is it any wonder that the characters of
the followers of Catholicism cannot, nor never will, favorably
compare to the followers of Protestantism?

I am about to make an assertion that will perhaps shock those who are
not familiar with the teachings of Catholicism, but I make it without
fear of contradiction, as I know whereof I speak, as I have traveled
the Papist road for thirty years, and I declare to you with all
sincerity and honesty that R
