The idea of the Papacy existing, except in embryo, insidiously coming up, without a Pope, a Cardinal, an Arch-bishop, a Bishop, a Priest, a Nun, or Sister of Charity, for centuries after Christ, is one of the most preposterous things ever imposed on the credulity of mankind. Yet the very mention of these dignitaries is lacking in all the writings of several of the early centuries, either in the Bible or out of it. There is not a trace of them in any writing of the period of which we speak, Jewish, Christian, Infidel or Pagan. There is nothing clearer than that the Papal religion came up too late to have the least claim to be the true religion. The same is true of the Mohammedan religion. The true religion was in the world long centuries before Mohammedanism had an existence. It was born too late to be the true religion. The true religion was born in Jerusalem. The Papacy was born in Rome. Rome has been its seat—its Eternal City. It did not begin in Jerusalem, but in Rome. Mohammedanism was not born in Jerusalem, but in Mecca. It did not originate with Jesus but with Mohammed. A religion not known till hundreds of years after Christ and his apostles, most unequivocally is not the true religion. We need not trouble the reader with the mention of any religion, born at a later date, in another place, or originating with another person. Such a religion certainly has no claim to be the true one. The true religion originated with Jesus, in Jerusalem, and in the time of Christ and the apostles. Any religion that did not originate with Jesus, in Jerusalem, and in the time of Christ and the apostles, and that does not appear in the accounts found on the pages of the New Testament, nor any writings of the first three centuries, is out of the question. If the very name of any religion, the person with whom it originated, and other important matters connected with it, are not found in the Bible, nor a trace of it in history for hundreds of years after Christ, it is out of the question.
