Romanism is not good enough 10
Romanists. because the Bible is SC
aside for Popish decretals. It t,lo
rates swearing, lying and theft. l
proof OF this / quote from Liglor
1t was Liguori VINO said that it wa
very rare to End a good priest. Arch
bishop Purcell said, In his debat
with Alexander Campbell, that b
had no doubt some Of tne Popes wer
in hell. Campbell charged tn,
priests were allowed to keep concr
bines. Purcell denied that Liguo
ever taught anything so abominabl
The book was brought into the churc
and this passage was read thereiron
"A bishop, however poor he mI
be, cannot appropriate to hin
self pecuniaIy f-es without Il
license Of the Apostolic See; b,
he ought TO apply them to pious use
which the Council OF Trent has la
upon resident clergymen, or upC
those clergymen who keep concl
bines." Did the placing Of the BishC
10 this position cause him to own Il
TRUTH continued the preacher, Il,
from it, because his oath permit,
him to deny what hurts Rome and
admit only what helps it.
The speaker further claimed tn
Romanism substitutes Mary iorChris
and thus rejects the chief conversion
Hc read from the "Glory Of Mary
by Liguori, and exhibited the insert
ton on a Catholic medal and car,
The preacher also quoted from D
Binney, Of London, who advised b
younger brethren in the ministry
study Popery anew; for" said b
the proper remedy against the Unfit
o. Papal power is to read afresh Il
tenets Of the Papaoy, to understand |
errors, to chronicle Its crimes and
mark well that its character is immu
able" In conclusion DR.. Fultl
claimed that Romanism is not 20,
enough for Romanists. because II
not American-it is the enemy of Ii
erty. Romanists with US are bless
by the enjoyment Of those free instit
tons which are the outgfowth Of d
teachings Of the Word Of God. Tn
owe it TO themselves to accept
Christ, who came, as Mary said, to
the day spring from on high, to I'll
light to them which dwell 10 dar
