HERE REV, DR. ", v. CASE RESTS HIS CASE.

not done that to add in low voice, to-day

is telling the truth
Peter {. Yorke may not know of the above
authorities. His reading seems limited to a
few Catholic schoolbookS. He has read moth
ing of history except little squibs about his
native Ireland. He seems to know little or
nothing OF the expulsion of the Jesults from
every civilized nation except the United
States. He doesn't know that Cardinal Man.
ming wrote a work called Vatican DEGREES in
Their Bearing on Civil Allegiance" which,
like Mr.. Gladstone's work of exactly the same
name, is quoted "Vatican DEGREES" He
doesn't seem to know anything but his native
billingsgate, "You a liar," "you are q
liar" This he brought with him from the
bogs of Ireland. 1t is his birthmark; but
then this is in keeping with the majority OF
Roman priests who profess TO follow the meek
and lowly Jesus.
People who lived in Mexico at the time of
the expulsion of the priests from that country
tell us that in 1S4S and 1867 scores OF priests
were hanged there because or their treason,
and the sight of their carcasses looked like
that of beeVes hanging up at slaughter-houses
and in front ot meat markets. 1t must be re-
mem bered that it was the Catholic people VINO
were thus compelled to take such summary
action against those Jesuit priests. In Catholic
France the tyranny, oppression and devices OF
the priesthood led, in 1892 and 1898, to such
extremes that the people rose i'll their fre my
and guillotined the priests and threw them in
piles for the soap watts.
7. c. Iorke in his ommunlcat1on refers TO
the "Bovard- Brewer Case Hubbell-Morgan-
Outflow, ct al" controversy. This Saint Bill
ingsgate, editor OF the religious paper (?) called
the Monitor, forgets that he is not in ireland
and that the holiday season in California Is
not fair time at DonnybroOk. The motto OF
the festive Mick in his native bog, when you
see a head, hit it, is, however, being consist
emily followed ty Saint Billingsgate, the
apologist for Rome.
Priest Yorke (Saint Billingsgate) suggests
that he cannot "meet this moral leper' with
out instinctively raising the cry, "unclean,
unclean."
Very well, Father Mick, and may you keep
crying "unclean, unclean" so long as the
police permit you to live outside the pest
house. You evidently intend TO apply these
words to me, but out OF thine own mouth
shalt thou be judged, thou wicked servant.
In Holy Writ we read that when he who had
leprosy met another in the way the leper was
obliged to cover his mouth and issue the warn
ing cry, "Unclean, unclean." When he had
suffered from his loathsome disease for many
years, this cry became doubtless instructive" }"
Even SO, when z. c. YOrke meets the business
manager of the Patriot he complies With the
law of Moses, and. conscious OF his own hlthl-
ness, he cries. "Unclean, unclean." When he
meets Rev. Mr.. Bovard, minister OF God, he
turns aside into wilderness OF his own
imaginings crying, "Unclean, Unclean." When
by DR.. Case, the man of God, he hears men
toned the words Light and TRUTH" he
shrinks back in TO his own loathsome self, cry
ing, instinctively, "Unclean, unclean."
And again, Mr.. Editor, of what value is
priests oath when the following may be the
measure OF his moral character according to
astical Law" by Smith, standard work in
this diocese: "Question-Is it allowable to
transfer priests of bad morals from one parish
to another instead of deposing them?
"Answer-If the character OF such priests Is
unknown in the new parish, and if there is a
reasonable hope that by the change they will
reform, 1t is unquestionably lawful to transfer
them to another parish"
Imagine, If you please, the moral value OF
the word OF priest VINO comes lnto new
parish because Of his bad morals Imagine
such man in the confessional putting ques-
tions to and sitting as judge over your wife
and daughters and the good sisters OF charity,
who live devoted and unseltisE lives.
Why was K. Becker, the parish priest OF ST.
Helena, Cal, removed TO Green Bay (Mich.)
diocese? For his health? If P. C. Yorke does
not know, possibly he might ascertain upon
inquiring of his Archbishop.
Postscriptum-Now, Mr.. Editor, we might as
well allude in closing to p. c. Yorke's facility
for crying liar, liar, as very natural result.
1t is shown in this communication that the
Jesuit code justifes dissem bling and lying as q
means 10 an end. And il Jesuits can lie, why
not Romish priests? The answer is, they can
and they do. And P. c. Yorke is but sample
copy.
Some OF your readers. we are told, are making
scrapbook collections. For their benefit the fol-
lowing narration is quoted from a well-known
not only permissible, but enjoined by the
Romish church when the members OF that faith
are thereby benefited.
THE LIE TAUGHT.
s'Father Razzi of the Order OF Camaldoti re-
lates that certain youth having lost his
father, was sent by his mother to the court OF a
prince. The mother, who had great devotion
to Mary, when she parted with him made him
promise TO recite every day Hail Mary and
add these words: Blessed Virgin, help me in
the hour OF my death The youth arrived at
court, but soon began to lead so dissolute life
that his master was obliged to send him away.
"In despair, without means OF support, he
went into the country and became highway
robber; but even then he did not omit TO
recommend himself to Our Lady, as his mother
had directed him. AT length he fell into the
hands of justice and was condemned to death
Being in prison the evening before his execu-
ton and thinking OF his disgrace, the grief Of
his mother and the death which awaited him,
he fell to weeping bitterly. The devil, seeing
him so oppressed by melancholy, appeared TO
him in the form OF q beautiful young man,
and said to him that he would release him
from death and prison if he would follow his
directions. The convict engaged to do all that
he required Then the pretended youth made
known to him that he was the devil and had
come to his assistance. In the first place he
ordered him to renounce Jesus Christ and the
holy sacraments The youth consented
"He then required him to renounce the Virgin
Mary and her protection. This, exclaimed
the young man, Il will never do and turning
mother had taught him: Blessed Virgin, help
me in the hour of death st these words the
devil disappeared. Inc youth remained In
great affiiction for the wickedness he had COM
mitted in denying Jesus Christ. He invoked
the Blessd Virgin and she obtained for him, by
her own prayers, great sorrow for all his sins
so that he made his confession with much
weeping and contrition.
"On his " ay TO the gallows, happening to pass
before a statue OF Mary, he saluted her with
his usual prayer: Blessed Virgin, help me in
the hour of my DEATH And the statue, in the
presence OF all, inclined its head and saluted
him. Deeply moved he begged 10 be allowed
to kiss the feet OF the image. The executoners
refused but afterward consented on account
of the clamor of the people. The youth stopped
to kiss her feet, and Mary extended her arm
from that statue, took him by the hand and
held him so strongly that no power could move
him. At this prodigy the multitude shouted
Pardon. pardon! And pardon was granted.
Having returned to his country he led an eX-
emplary life, and was always most devoted to
Mary, who had delivered him from temporal
and eternal death" ["Glories of Mary" PIP.

Postcriptum No. Pin regard to Roman
priests oath, we find one recorded in "Roman-
ism; The Danger Ahead - by A. J. Grover, page
49, that is as bad as that given to THE CALL
readers recently, because it has in 1t this dam
nable and consistent clause with Romanish
hatred to our system of government as follows:
'That the zeal of the priest is TO be against all
heretical kings, princes. states or powers" In
confirmation of the above, Archbishop Man.

ture," published in 1867 on page 416: more

the supreme sovereignty, which the POpeS, as
