DANGER OF
CATHOLICISM
Some Interesting Facts as to the
Practices aGd Power ofR0me
Her Influence and Strength
in America

There are var Gus opinions a!
to the influence and power Of
the Roman Catholic church or
the social, political, moral anc
religious life Of the people of the
United States. Some do moi
think they will ever dominate
or, to any extent, control these
questions, while others, and
quite a number of the leading
and thinking men of America,
are alarmed over the inroads
they are making on our institu-
tions and fear that in the COM
ing future the iron heel of the
Pope will be upon the neck of
the American people.
We herewith give a few ex-
tracts from the pen Of the men
who have studied the question
and who are in position to speak
with some degree of knowledge.
From Plain Truth" published
in Ark nsas, the following is
taken:
THE NEW CARDINALS IN AMERICA
News dispatches tell us that
at Rome, when the Pope gave
the new made American
and English cardinals the red
hats, they each took the regula.
ton Romanish oath to obey the
Pope in all things, then KISSED
HIS FOOT, and then he gave then
red hats and made them 'prin-
ces of the church . The Pope
was carried around on bedeck-
ed throne, carried on the shoul-
ders of his servitors, he is so
humble and Christ-like.' y
Then the Pope sent his bles
sings 10 the American people" "
as if they had asked him for
the farce!
Then the new cardinals, all
Irish, began to blow and boom
the home coming" In Boston
and New York the military
formed an escort. - in imitation
of Pagan kingly glory, to attend
the red-robed, red hated, relig-
io-political Pope made princes
to the cathedrals.
In London, simultaneously
The new cardinal had a tremen
dous procession to Westminstel
cathedral, the first time such
thing has been permitted since
the reformation.
In Boston it is Cardinal O'Con
nell, in New York Cardinal Far
ley, in London Cardinal Bourne
all Irish.
The Pope is Haunting the ret
flag of Popery in the faces O.
Professionalism and the Ameri
can and English constitution
and flags.
We have told our readers hov
the president. vice-president
Speaker Clark, ex-Speaker Can
non, ex-President Roosevelt an'
Chief Justice White all bowe'
to Rome together last June il
Baltimore to eulogiZe Cardina
Gibbons in red hat and robes.
What does all this mean? TT .
both England and America ar
being Romanized. and govern
ment officials in both countrie
are bending the knee to Rom
for votes.
1t is a betrayal of religion
and political liberty. for ever,
one of these officials knows tha
Romanism is a sworn enemy 0
both.
The constitution of the Unit
ed States prohibits the reception
of any title of nobility, by an.
citizen of this country from an,
foreign prince, potentate or pov
er, and yet here are these Rom
ish cardinals in red togs, confer
red by the Pope, who consider
himself the worlds politica an'
ecclesiastical lord and master
calling themselves princes o
the church, y with parades, pro
cessions and military escorts, d
flying our constitution and il
sulting this republic.
Something is going to happel
in America.
