Catholicism makes her boast that she never changes; then what are we
to expect the future to bring forth, if her dogmas of damnation are
allowed to fasten her intolerable hold upon this country: for if she
"never changes," and we are compelled to judge her future by her
past, which is the only rational conclusion that can be arrived at,
then we can expect nothing more than to behold her future trail
stained with the blood of Protestants, as such has been her history
of the past.

It is our purpose in this chapter to give the reader an authentic
epitome of a few of the doctrines and facts which we defy Roman
Catholicism to successfully deny, as what we propose to give you is
Roman Catholic law, and if such is Roman Catholic law, then we will
have no trouble in establishing the fact that no loyal Catholics can
possibly be loyal American citizens; therefore should not be placed
in a position where they can carry out the mandates and dictates of
the Church of Rome, for whenever they are placed in power and
thoroughly believe in the laws of Catholicism they can not possibly
be naught but traitors to our American form of government.

We propose to give the reader "Canon Law" to establish our
statements, as we are as well acquainted with the laws that govern
Roman Catholicism--yea, better than we are with the laws that govern
this country, as we for fifty-six years have been directly influenced
by this "Canon Law," and for the past thirty years, or since we
became a Roman Catholic priest, have been a servant and an
executioner of this law; therefore, I know whereof I speak, and no
man dare deny my statements.

The first declaration of this "Canon Law" is: "_All human power is
from evil and must therefore be standing under the Pope_."

You will thus see that the first declaration of the "Canon Law" is to
place the human family as a whole, under the tyrannical control of
Catholicism.

Another declaration of this law is: "_The state has not the right to
leave every man free to profess and embrace whatever religion he
shall deem true_."

In this declaration, you will further see that Roman Catholicism
would, if it was within her power, take from the American citizen
the right to worship a true and living God.

The next law that we will refer to is as follows: "_The state has not
the right to establish a church separate from the Pope_."

Again you will see that Rome's idea is to force all of humanity to
