Catholicism makes her boast that she never changes; then what are we to expect the future to bring forth, if her dogmas of damnation are allowed to fasten her intolerable hold upon this country: for if she "never changes," and we are compelled to judge her future by her past, which is the only rational conclusion that can be arrived at, then we can expect nothing more than to behold her future trail stained with the blood of Protestants, as such has been her history of the past. It is our purpose in this chapter to give the reader an authentic epitome of a few of the doctrines and facts which we defy Roman Catholicism to successfully deny, as what we propose to give you is Roman Catholic law, and if such is Roman Catholic law, then we will have no trouble in establishing the fact that no loyal Catholics can possibly be loyal American citizens; therefore should not be placed in a position where they can carry out the mandates and dictates of the Church of Rome, for whenever they are placed in power and thoroughly believe in the laws of Catholicism they can not possibly be naught but traitors to our American form of government. We propose to give the reader "Canon Law" to establish our statements, as we are as well acquainted with the laws that govern Roman Catholicism--yea, better than we are with the laws that govern this country, as we for fifty-six years have been directly influenced by this "Canon Law," and for the past thirty years, or since we became a Roman Catholic priest, have been a servant and an executioner of this law; therefore, I know whereof I speak, and no man dare deny my statements. The first declaration of this "Canon Law" is: "_All human power is from evil and must therefore be standing under the Pope_." You will thus see that the first declaration of the "Canon Law" is to place the human family as a whole, under the tyrannical control of Catholicism. Another declaration of this law is: "_The state has not the right to leave every man free to profess and embrace whatever religion he shall deem true_." In this declaration, you will further see that Roman Catholicism would, if it was within her power, take from the American citizen the right to worship a true and living God. The next law that we will refer to is as follows: "_The state has not the right to establish a church separate from the Pope_." Again you will see that Rome's idea is to force all of humanity to bow at the feet of her creed. Again she declares in her "Canonistic Laws:" "_That the state has not the right to assist the inmates of monasteries and convents to abandon them_." Again you will see that Catholicism desires to usurp the rights of the courts and establish prisons of their own without a semblance of law. Once more this "Canonistic Law" thunders forth her monarchial law as follows: "_The Roman Catholic church has the right to require the state not to leave every man free to profess his own religion_."
