nation of France has swung out from the power of the Vatican, and
is to-day defying the Pope of Rome and daring him to do his worst,
and France is a nation that has always been a Catholic nation and
controlled by her abominations, but she has woke up to the fact that
unless this hellish doctrine is stamped out from her shores that she
will become a nation of mental pygmies and nonentities, as she has
long since learned that Catholicism is nothing more nor less than a
poisonous breath that withers intellect and causes nations to decay
and sink to the level of Romish degeneracy.

It seems as though the Vatican will not learn that the world moves,
as the Vatican is determined that Italy shall not appear above the
horizon of papal abhorrence.

It is hard for the Vatican to learn that the world moves and that
Italy moves with it. In its final resolution, the quarrel between the
Pope and the French government is based on the recognition of the
king of Italy as the sole sovereign in Rome, but the Pope is as
determined that him and his reign of darkness shall be the only
acknowledged ruler of Italy.

President Loubet of France, the executive of this Catholic nation,
gave great offense to the Vatican, by visiting the king of Italy,
who is in the eyes of the church a usurper.

According to the Vatican's standards, the kingdom of Italy is not an
accomplished fact, as the Vatican refuses to recognize any government
in Italy save that which he chooses to establish and build up out of
the filth and abominations of Roman Catholicism.

The Pope declares himself to be the only legitimate sovereign in
Rome, but the Italian government has for a number of years been
learning that the power of the Vatican is a power of darkness,
emanating from the putridness of paganism, and which is detrimental
to any nation that aspires to individual intellectuality, morality
and greatness.

The reader must bear in mind that Italy is the home of the Pope, and
the home of Popes, and that Rome is the city of Popes, archbishops
and cardinals.

This statement can not be denied by any living man, and since it is
true, we want to learn something of the inhabitants of Rome, so that
we may be prepared to judge whether Roman Catholicism is beneficial
or detrimental to those whom she rules.

We make the statement without fear of successful denial, that Roman
Catholicism is a power which withers the hopes and ambitions of any
nation, which is so unlucky
