The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1902-01-18

Freeman's Journal: Some one has
sent us from Washington the resolu-
tons unanimously passed by Council
No. , of the American Protective as
ISOLATION, Washington, d. c., Oct. 2
1901" If ever work is written on the
"Curiosities of Bigotry," these resolu-
tons will certainly deserve place in
it. That there are persons who will
believe the statements found in them
is something unexplainable. Does it
not seem incredible that there are in
dividuals outside of an insane asylum
who are convinced that the assassina-
ton of the late President Mckinley
was the outcome of Jesuit plot?
| Yet the men who framed these A. P.
A. resolutions in the city of Washing
ton on the second day of October be-
lieve that such persons do really exist.
They tell their dupes that "the general
of the Jesuits Called the Black Pope)
| gives the order to remove Mckinley"
As proof positive that this order was
promptly obeyed the A. P. A. dupes are
reminded how soon this murder fol-
! lowed on the event of this mysterious
Ineeting-at Rome-of Cardinal Glib
hons, Archbishop Chapelle, Nozaleda
and Ireland" When these plotters had
! laid the train it only remained for
Czolgosz to set it off.
! If we are to believe the trainers of
the A. p. A. resolutions, the Jesuits are
adopts in this assassination business.
| Before they removed PRECEDENT Mckin
ley they had assassinated many other
distinguished men. among whom were
several Popes. Here is history as she
is wrote by \. p. A. bigots: The use
of the knife or the bullet of the Jesuit
is not confined to heretical rulers. They
have killed even some of the Popes!
Among their victims were Pope SiXtus
V. 1880; Clement WILL 1905; Clement
TX, 1869: Clement XIII. 1863; Clement
XIV, 1774, who all died for opposing
the Jesuit order" With such a record
as this the JesuitS would not, of course,
scrupie to take hand in the assassi-
nation OF Lincoln, GARFIELD and McKin-
ley. That they were instigators of the
assassination of these three American
presidents we have it on the veracious
authority of the author or authors of
the A. P. A. resolutions we are crit
lcising.
These same resolutions condemn
the horrible doctrine promulgated by
a former Pope and Endorsed by Leo
XIII that it is no murder to kill a Prot
estant,"' and they also demand that
none of the children of this republic
should be permitted to attend at any
parochial schools of any ecclesiastical
organization which breeds anarchists
and assassins; and to this end we rec
ommend the passage of laws in every
state to the effect that no citizens who
shall have. attended such schools shall
ever hereafter hold any office, either
civil or military in the United States"
We have quoted from these A. P. A.
resolutions for the purpose of showing
how anti Catholic bigotry in its most
ignorant and brutal form can reduce
men to intellectual slavery Which
makes them ready to accept as Cos
pei truth the most transparent lies told
about the Catholic Church. There is
no doubt that the deluded bgots who
are still to be found in the thinned
ranks of the A. p A. place implicit
faith in every word of the wretched
stuff found in the resolutions to which
we have called attention.
