This Work not only gives an account OF
the Catholic Religion in the United States
but in Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy,
South America, Mexico, Canada, &c, &c,
&c. also, an explanation of their articles
of faith. with their Seven Sacraments,
which they hold to be indspensably neces-
sary to their salvation; together with some
very interesting facts concerning a Bishop
who is extensively known in this country
as one of the greatest advocates Of Popery,
with his Oath prior to his coming hither
| 1t also shows to what an extent Popery is
making its ravages throughout the United
States and the world while at the same
| time it exposes the abominable corruptions
of the Catholic Priesthood, and the inhu-
name means used by them to extort money
from their ignorant and deluded dupes.
Their Internal tricks and plans for carrying
out their licentiousness are fully detailed
as also the many ways in which they destroy
their offspring to avoid detection.
In short, all the facts embraced in this
work are well calculated to excite deep
interest in the mind of every friend of true
Religion and they cannot render the cause
a greater service then by aiding in its ex-
tensiqe circulation.
The above e-named work was designed. by
its author, to enlghten the American Peo-
pie on the subject Of Poperv rs it occurs in
this country; and it is disclosure Of events
and of the plans and operations Of that
church, which must be Of interest J0 the
Christian philanthropist and republican.
With the present aspect Of ROmanism in
this country, this is work worthy Of a
place in every Protestant family
We are of opinion that there's embodied
in Hogans writings, more valuable infor-
nation in regard to Romanism in America
then in all the authors put together who
have written on the subject. Some thou
sands of copies of this work have been dis
trsbuted in New England, and have been
received by the Protestant communities as
a standard work on Popery.
We could procure large number Of tes-
timonials in regard to the work but trust
that the certificates given, will be sufficient
to insure it the confidence of the public.
A correct copy Of the Excommunica.
Of VIM. Hogan, Pastor of ST. Mary's
Church, Philadelphia, has been obtain
ed. 1t is as follows:
| BY THE AUTHORITY OF GoD ALMIGHTY,
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and the
undefled Virgin Mary, mother ard patro-
ness of our Saviour, and of all celestial vir-
tues, Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Domin-
ions, Powers, Cherubms and Seraphims,
and of all the Holy Patriarchs, Prophets
and Of all the Apostles, Evangelists, of the
Holy lnnoceDts, who in the sight of the
Holy Lamb are found worthy to sing the
new song Of Holy Martyrs and Holy Confess
sions, and Of the Holy Virgins, aud of all
saints, together with the Holy Elect of
2 God--may he WILLIAM HOGAN, be damned.
We excommuncatc and anathematize
him and from the threshold of the Holy
Church Of God Almighty we sequester him,
that he may be tormented, despised, and be
delivered over with Dathan and Abiram,
and with those who say unto the Lord, ,,de-
part from us for we desire none Of thy
ways"--as fire is quenehed with water so
let the light Of him be put out for eyermore
unless 1t shall repent him, and make salts
faction. Amen
