If a so-called "religion" _forces_ 71,000 American marriageable men and women into hiding places, where they have physical contact with one another but cannot marry, _what happens_? You _know_ what happens. Your common sense tells you what happens. Your own natural passions tell you what happens. Those marriageable men and women--many of them young, handsome, buxom,--are shut off from all the world, by thick walls, barred windows, locked doors. The young buxom men can get to the young buxom women. Either in the day-time or in the night, this physical access can be had, _in secret_. The men have been taught that they are gifted with supernatural powers; and that they can forgive each other's sins. The women have been taught that these men cannot sin, and that in serving these men they will be serving God. Besides, if they _do_ sin with the priests, the priests can forgive the sins. This being so, what happens, when the lustful young priest slips into the cloistered convent, goes to the nun's bed-room and solicits her to yield to _him_, as Mary yielded to the angel? (See "Why Priests Should Wed." Page 103.) The cloistered convent is built like a huge dungeon. The encircling walls about it, are thick and high. No one enters in unto the unmarried women excepting the bachelor priests. _The Law does not enter!_ The Italian Pope draws his line around the dungeons of darkness and mystery, and the civil authorities dare not go in. Everybody knows that young women are caged in those hell-holes. Everybody knows that burly, beefy, red-faced, thick-lipped young priests glide in and out. Everybody knows what _he_ would do, if _he_ had the pick of a score of buxom girls, in a secret place, he being a bachelor and they being without access to any man but _himself_. If you were young and had no wife, you know what would happen, if you were alone in a pretty girl's bed-room, and she were educated to yield to you in _everything_. Yet, these impudent rascals, the beefy Irish, Italian and German priests, ask you to believe that they never even think of touching those 56,000 American girls that are caged inside those walls: Nevertheless, you _know_ it is against Nature for these young men not to want to mate with those women. You _know_ that the cloistered convents would not be built like Bastilles, and the world shut out, if there were not something going on in there which they are afraid for the world to see. You _know_ that where cloistered convents are _built and managed like jails, THEY ARE JAILS_! Yet, those impudent rascals, gliding into the women, and coming out from the women, tell you that although the women are taught to obey the priest in all things, the priest never does say or do what every full-sexed man would do and say, under the same circumstances.
