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.,
sc. also, IN explanation Of their articles
of faith. with their Seven Sacrnments,
which they hold to be inlispensably neces-
sary to their salvation; together with some
very interesting facts concerning Bishop
as one of the greatest advocates Of Popery,
with his Oath prior to his coming hither.
1t also shows to what an extent Popcry is
making its rayages 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 lcentiousness 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
c interest in the mind Of every friend of true
T. Religion; and they cannot render the cause
= n greater service then by ailing in its ex-
ten,iqe circulation.
The above-namcd work was designed, by
: its author, to enlighten the American Peo-
plo on the subject Of Popery as it occurs in
!, this country; and it is a disclosure of events
and Of the plans and operations Of that
church, which must be of interest to the
Christian philanthropist and republican.
With the present aspect Of Romanism in
this country, this is work worthy Of n
: place in every Protestant family.
}, We are ofan opinion that there's embodied
in Hogan's writings, more valuable infor-
D nation in regard to Romanism in America
c then in all the authors put together who
have written on the subject. Some thou
d sands of copies Of this work have been dis
: trsbutcd in New England, and have been
received by the Protestant communities as
:, a standard work on Popery
