The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1894-08-24
Dominant Catholicism.

A leading New York paper says;
"Someone has been looking up the re-
ligious proclivities of the ofiiceholders of
Chicago and finds that the Catholics have
ments, postmaster, city attorney, ten
judges and clerks Of all the courts, forty
Ave Of the sixty-eight aldermen, 80 per
cent. of the flremen, and sixty-seven per
cent. of the teachers in the public schools.
The latter secure their positions through
a competitive examination open to the
public. Eighty per cent of their pupils
are of non-catholic belief"
1t is so Of Boston, New York and 9TH
er large cities, all being completely under
Rome rule, subject to the dictation of
priests and politicians, for they both
work together in the interest of each
other. A fair Illustration of priestly in
reference in political matters here in the
United States, is the fact that all state,
municipal, and Presidential elections are
more or less under the direct control of
Catholic dictation, and politicians, both
great and small, bow in humble submits
sion to the will of the Vatican at Rome
"But is there any danger that the Cath
olics or any other les or isms will ever
attain this supremacy No mot par
ticle !" says "T, Ruth" in reply to az.
A. S."
hope not, but the writer of this, who
has made the subject careful study for
more than twenty-five years, who has
watched the trend of Catholicism, and
noted its many and varied movements
cannot agree with ct. R." that there is
"not particle of danger" that the Catho-
lies will ever attain supremacy here in
the United States. This feeling of fan
cied security ON the part of "T. Ruth is
not shared with him by the majority of
people. Any one at all conversant with
the policy of the Catholic Church knows
that the oath Of allegiance taken by it's
members, upon becoming citizens of the
United States, is of no account whatever
to them, especially when it comes to a
question of anything that concerns the
interest of the church, as at. r." will
please observe by the following taken
from the "Tablet," Romish paper,
which plainly says
"The Roman Catholic citizen of the
United States owes no allegiance to any
principal of the government which is con-
demned by Church or Pope"
Cardinal Manning, replying to Glad
stone, said:
"No pledge from Catholics is of any
binding force to which Rome is not a
party"
Listen to DR.. Bronson, the great apos-
tie of Popesy:
''This is our country. As it is to be-
come thoroughly Catholic, we have a
deeper interest in public affairs than any
other citizens"
The Duke of Richmond, when ON a
visit to Canada, vouchsafed the follow
ing information for the benefit of the
public:
1.-THE government of the United States
ought not to stand, but will be destroyed
by subversion, and not by conquest. The
plan is this To send over the surplus
population of Europe; they gain more
| by emigration, more by inter-marriage
adoption and conversions of Protestants
| With their exclusive views of salvation
and peculiar tenets, as soon as they have
a majority this becomes Catholic coun
try, with Catholic government, witt
the Catholic religion, established by law.
Priest Hecker, of New York ,lalso adds
''We will take this country and built
our institutions over the graves of Prot
estantism."
And yet we are told that there is NJ
need of the A. p. A., that the country i
perfectly safe from Catholic rule; tina
no danger threatens our public institu
tions; that there is no cause for alarm
etc. 1t looks like it, after reading tn
above extracts. Oh, yes. And speaking
of the A. p. A., | have often wonders
why so much has been said against it
and so little in opposition to the Jesuit
and other secret Catholic organizations
Have not the A. =. AS as much RICH
to organize as the Catholics ? If not
why not ? Is the church of Rome t
have everything all it's own way in thi
country !! With the apparently utter in
difference manifested by most Protest
ants in regard to the bold encroachmen
of Roman Catholicism, the indication
are that the prediction made by Thoma
Jefferson may yet prove true, and that II
that eff this government is eyer destroy
ed it will be by the work of Cathoii
priests" l.. A. S.
