We say to all Protestants, remember, that in placing your children
under the care and influence of Catholic teachers, and Priests of that
Church, you lend your aid to obscuring their minds, and, in
accordance to your own belief, shutting out from the eye of faith
God's own eternal truth. They go to men as "intercessors" instead of
to Christ the Lord--the Son of God, who redeemed them with His own
precious blood--who alone can intercede for them. And you also aid in
re-establishing universal sway to the ever-intolerant Romish Church.
The time may come when--driven from the Old World--her central power
will be on this continent: and, erecting here her gorgeous temples
from the estates you leave to your children, the Pope will ascend the
throne of the American Vatican--under and around which will be the
dark dungeons of the Inquisition--and thence thunder forth his
"_Bulls_" and _Anathemas_ against the feeble followers of the blessed
Redeemer. That Church is by far the most intolerant of all the
professed Christian organizations on this globe. Their members are not
even allowed the privilege of attending religious worship anywhere
else than under their own instructions, and we opine, that should any
one of them do so without "dispensation," they are held as having
committed a sin, for which they must soon repair to the Priest, make
confession, do penance, receive absolution from him, and pay the
price.
Behold the avarice of this "whore of Babylon!" Not content with
tribute paid to her--perhaps weekly--through a long lifetime by her
deluded followers, when nature yields to the fiat of the Eternal One,
mortality drops to moulder into dust, and the spirit returns to God
who gave it, so completely are the minds of all her adherents under
the control of the Priests, that they can still lay _penance_ upon the
dead, and demand and obtain _tribute_ from the living offspring.
In closing our remarks upon this subject, we submit, for the
reflection of all Protestant ministers and members in every quarter of
the world, the following, a portion of the Pope's address to the
English clergymen, who presented him an address signed by some
eighteen hundred clergy, April 20th, 1869. After examining the
document closely, following other remarks, he said:
