Resume of the Long and Bitter Struggle
Between Freethinkers and the Popes
For Civil Power and Freedom.
PART 3.
(By Judge Parish B. Ladd.)

(By Judge Parish b. Ladd.)
In this long struggle, the intrepid forces
of Freethought were led by Atheists, who,
in their early moves were obliged to carry
on this warfare in disguise, against an
enemy far superior in numbers, led on by
an INSCRIPTIONS priesthood headed by popes
1t was a struggle by thinkers-reasoning
men, against multitude of men of the most
ignorant class, differing from the cattle
only as bipeds.
The word pope comes from the Latin
pa pa (father) at first applied to all bish-
ops; from the fifth century it was applied
only to the leading bishops of Rome. BY
series of forgeres the church makes Peter
the first pope, and alleges that he received
his credentials from Christ, who, as we
now know, was a pure myth. This man
Peter like Christ was none other than
shadow foated by popedom as the first OF
a long line of popes. The material out or
which Peter was made, was none other than
vague oral tradition, and that from Ca'ho-
lie sources alone, is all we have as to the
existence of such a man; even that tradi-
ton contradicts itself as to the mans
natlN1ly, his ldDOIS, anu WHICH, 40 "Sii 10
where he died The epistles ascribed to
him have been pronounced spurious by the
Higher Criticism; they belong to the long
line of Catholic forgeries. This myth was
not made by the church until the time
of Innocent (402-417) who was in fact, the
first pope The church in founding this
dynasty created Peter out of nothing and
threw his time back over 400 years; he is
the product of a long series of forged de-
cretals, practice ever in common use with
the Catholic Church.; it was applied to each
and every piece of writing in the New Tes
lament The whole system Of popish
Christianity was of slow growth, most OF it
made to fit the times. In fact, the forgeries
of that church mark its pathway all along
the line of its history, from its birth TO the
present time In its early history paganism
obscured the life of the church and nearly
blotted out what little history then existed,
for not single scratch of writing of the
first century concerning Christianity, it's
mythical head as the church has come
down to our time; all of which purports to
come from the first century is of much later
date, thrown back to give age and credit
to the system; like whskey, the older the

Striking a Balance Sheet

sible men, as the most trivial nonsense, the
most of which still adheres to the devout,
who never tires in devotion 10 their Totem.
The wrangles between the Eastern and
Western churches being finally put an end
to, by deceit, fraud and force, all went over
to Rome, where the scarlet beast, the
pontificial dragon laid his plans to rule the
world.
At the end of the fourth century, Siricius
claimed, or is made to claim, Roman su-
premacy over all Christnendom The civil
powers under the guidance of Freethought
largely Atheist, saw in this claim the i'm
pending struggle The church held the nu-
merical force, the embodiment of piety and
ignorance, force to be moved at the will
OF the pope-the Devil leading his coharts
of hell. The civil governments were in the
hands of unbelievers. 1t was the force of
numbers under the control of the pope,
against intelligence of unbelieves-Chris-
tianty arrayed against Freethought The
contest was a long and bloody one. Sue
cess perched alternately on the banners of
the contending parties The sacking of Rome
by the Virigoths, who had espoused Chris
tianity, contributed vastly to the strength
of Innocent l. With this increase of power
he boldly proclaimed supremacy of the
church over all the civil governments Of
Europe (4O2-417) but it was one thing to
make this claim and quite another to en-
force it, at any rate the struggle was on
to stay for ages Innocent was followed
by Leo l. 440-461, Common Era Here we
have the invasions of the Huns and Van

maintain the claim of his predecessor

stantinople; but the pope was the civil as

Theodore while nominally civil ruler of the
Italian States, was, for a tine, disposed to
allow the church to have its own way. The
conquest of Italy by Justinian put check
on the ambition of the Pontiffs scheme or
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, the pope being treated as
a rebellious subject. The imperial power
becoming weakened, was taken advantage
of by the Lombards, who invaded Italy, thus
allowing the pope to regain his losses under
the Emperor This invasion brought face
to face the ecclesiastical and civil powers

had become pope (59O-6OD; the latter I'M

Feeling his temporal power weakening,
Gregory applied all his force to strengthen
his hold on the church, even to all the out

BLUE GRASS BLADE

Innocent / 402-417 being the first histori-
cal pope, leaves over 400 years of vacuum
back to mythical Peter, which the church
filled in with the Isidorean forged decretals,
these decretals with other Catholic forgeries
were found in the Vactican, but not until
the fifteenth century were they found to
be base forgeries, now so admitted by all
scholars, Catholic as well as Protestant.
On lies, forgeres, frauds, prosecutions tor
lures, fagogts, fire, forced conversions and
hell the Catholic church has been built up.
now sustained by the dregs Of combined
ignorance, she raises her hydra head wreak-
ing in the blood of her victims and de-
clares to the world that Christianity is
the embodiment of all goodness purity,
virtue and intelligence, and this is echoed
from the pulpits of Protestanism in all
lands, and gulped down by the Christian
world.
With Innocent l. was born the idea of
making the church mistress of the world,
civil as well as ecclesiastical. To this first
conception the church has ever been true,
never relinquishing her grasp till forced by
the civil powers after long centuries of
strife. Let there be no mistake on this
point 1t is power, not an honest belief
in its religion which Mr.. Lecky and some
few less noted writers, claim, that the
church is after That this terrible strife
is for power the whole history Of the
church and it's popes is too clear to admit OF
a doubt for some of the popes who were
the most violent prosecutors and persecu-
tiers were avowed now believes in Chris

auxiliary to his empire. murder of all
rivals, including his wife and relatives, he

for twelve centuries followed in the bloody
footsteps of its founder.
Constantine was man of policy, the
empire was his ambition; all religions were
alike to him, things with which to control
the rabble, the church in following in the
footsteps of it's founder, succeeded during
some twelve hundred years, In numbering
nearly one-third of the people of Christen-
dom. Constantine removed the seat of
empire from Rome to Bizantium; but the
head of the church remained on the banks
of the Tiber The Christians, long before
Constantine put them on the road to power,
were not only divided in their beliefs, but
engaged in the most deadly struggles among
themselves over, what now appears to sen.
