able to provide likewise for those and dcar 10
HIM Dangers presented naught 70 territy him, ana

Catholic Church, and tnoso who profcssed the
Catholic religion were reduced to condition of
slavery. Wherever tho English language spoken
there came to bo liked way OF viewing the Catholic
Church. We more easily swayed by prejudice than
