"Thirty Years In Hell" Or, "From Darkness to Light"

Anti-Catholicism; Catholic Church -- Controversial literature; Catholic ex-priests
Of course, this was given out by the dignitaries of the Catholic
Church in order to blind their followers, and I desire to state
right here that I also believed that this was the fact until it was
demonstrated thoroughly that it was an infamous lie and that the
instigators were infamous impostors. However, pilgrimages started
from all directions to see this "Mother Superior," and when they
could not see her, they fought for the opportunity of praying in her
chapel. Some stayed for weeks and weeks to see her. Applications for
intercessions of all kinds of misery were sent to her, as these
simple "dupes" of Catholicism actually believed that this impostor
had the power to heal any ailment that might afflict them.
There were thousands of fanatics who visited Munster and hung their
crutches on the chapel walls and declared they were cured of their
ailment. The blind claimed to see by her intercessions. It was
claimed that all, possessed of every kind and description of
ailments, could be cured if the one who was afflicted only had faith
in this Mother Superior's wonderful power?
"The finger of God is in the land!" was the cry, and tens of
thousands of Catholics from all over the country gathered in Munster.
There was a certain man by the name of Friedhoff who doubted the
proclaimed powers of this Mother Superior and boldly declared his
doubt, and the Catholic world was indignant over the audacity of such
a doubt. It was learned that the Mother Superior would allow but one
sister of the institution to come to her room, and also her Father
Confessor. By the way, it might be pertinent to say that the Mother
Superior was an extremely handsome young lady; in fact, very young
for the position she occupied.
The guard that was placed over the Mother Superior was given
instructions by the Mayor of Munster to watch her closely and see
that she lived entirely upon "Holy Communion." The Protestant world
took an active part in this matter and gave close attention to the
guard that was over this "Mother Superior," as they were determined
to learn from whence originated this bold deception, as they were
thoroughly convinced that it was nothing more nor less than a
deception.
The confessor of the "Mother Superior" was changed and the sister who
waited upon her was changed, and in a very short time the "Mother
Superior" asked for food; thus it began to dawn upon the public at
large that they had been grossly deceived, and they began to learn
that all of these miraculous cures (?) were brought about and
promulgated by the leaders of Catholicism. Numerous physicians were
taken into confidence and an examination was made of the "Mother
Superior," and it was learned that she was pregnant, and it was
proven that the child belonged to the priest in charge of the
convent, who, by the way, was the one this "Mother Superior"
confessed her sins to.
