SECOND
Roman Catholics Worship Idols and
Give Divine Honor to Saints.

Let US see what the Catholic En-
cyclopedia has TO say about doing
honor 20 the saints. In Vol. Will,
on page 20, article on "Interces-
sion" is 60 be found the following:
"The Catholic doctrine Of inter-
ceSsion and invocation is set forth by
the Council Of Trent, which teaches
that the saints who reign together
with Christ offer up their own pray
ers to God for men. II is good and
useful suppliantly TO invoke them,
and to have recourse to their pray
ers, aid, and help for obtaining bene-
fits from God" Further on il is
stated that Prayers to the saints
occur in almost all the ancient litur-
gies."
In the famous encyclical Of Pope
Gregory NNl.. against liberty of con-
science, which was issued Sept. IS,
1889. he SAYS:
But, in order that We may receive
all these blessings, let us raise our
eyes and our hands to the most holy
Virgin Mary, who alone has de-
stroyed all the heresies; who is the
surest foundation Of our hope; nav,
who is all the foundation Of our
hope"
Now, as to the worship Of idols
The practice is so prevalent among
Roman Catholics that nearly all OF
them carry some sort of image or
talisman in their pockets to say
nothing of the pictures and statues
in the churches which worshippers
bow before 10 kiss and rem
der alteration. Even cards, bear
ing inscriptions or pictures are
carried about, in the faith that
they will miraculously protect
the bearer from sickness and mis-
fortune. THE MENACE Office has
received a bushel-basket-full Of these
idols, many Of the cards bearing the
imprimatur Of a bishop and promis-
ing protection from hoodoos Of all
kinds. And what are scapularies but
pocket idols in the crudest meaning
Of the term? Roman Catholics are
certainly idol worshippers as well as
Worshippers OF saints.

Roman Catholics Pay Priests for
Forgiveness of Sins.

The Romish theory Of purgatory
is to the effect that many people die
who are not bad enough to 20 10
hell or good enough TO 90 to hea-
ven. Such people are said TO bs
held in purgatory there to await
purging of venial faults BY means Of
masses said by priests and paid for
by the gullible. Purgatory is prob
ably the most profitable invention
Of popery, all rights reserved with
out going through the patent office
since the proposition is too raw for
any other cult TO cultivate. The fees
for mass, whether so called or digni-
fed with such titles as honorarium,
stipend or aims, are nothing more
or less than money paid to priests
for the forgiveness Of sins.
Cardinal Vaughan states, at page
II of The Meaning and Use of the
Scapular of Our Lady Of Mount
Carmel" Burns & Oates, London:
"The Sabbatine Indulgence, first
published BY John XXII., and then
republished BY many OF his success
ors, means that our Lady will obtain
the deliverance from Purgatory on
the Saturday, after their death, OF
those who during life shall have
worn the Scspular and faithfully
complied with the other conditions
required"
you must ask priest to offer the
Mass for YOU. OF course he is not
obliged, and indeed he may not be
able to do 50. But YOU need have
no delicacy in asking him, because
the relation between the Priest and
the people is regulated BY the Canon

letter Of her teaching and the fruit

theologiGa whose works have been
approved 10 the extent Of canoniz-
ing him a saint, gives the bachelor
confessors explicit instructions 10 pry
into the secret thoughts Of female
penitents, and recall every impure
thought which deoency and pure in
tention would leave untouched.
Liguori goes 20 far as 10 prescribe
a list Of questions TO be asked and
insistently dwelt upon, questions so
suggestive and 80 vile that 10 re-
produce them in these columns
would exclude this paper from the
mails on the ground Of obscenity.
These questions prescribed by
Liquor, and other Romish theolo-
gians, are so destructive Of modesty
and so polluting TO the mind Of in
nocence that we dare say they are
'eldom propounded unless the i'm
mediate purposes Of the confessor
are served by so doing. Their dis
tressing effect can well be imagined.
Father Chiniquy tells Of a penitent
who begged the privilege Of confes-
sion without being subjected 10
these horrible questions, and he car
ried her request TO the archbishop
Of Canada. The archbishop's reply
was in the negative. Said he /:
"Such cases Of the destruction Of fe-
male virtue by the questions Of the
confessors is an unavoidable evil.
Such questions are necessary"
Even Saint Egori recognizes
the effect Of the prescribed queries
when he says: "We must not re-
buke the penitent priest who falls
once a month" What could be
more indecent, more vile and
more immoral than the confess
sional and the uses to which
it is put by priests with the
sanction Of Liguori, the saint whose
writings are so rotten that they are
circulated among the Romish clergy
only in Latin? An English trans
lation Of his denominations could not
legally be transmitted through the
mails, and it is probably well that
il is so; but how can a priesthood
be other than immoral when con-
demned to celibacy and privileged
to ask in the secrecy of the confess
sional questions which are too vile
to be printed?
Rome commands celibacy and
confession, indorses Liguori and his
immoral questions, refuses TO re-
buke confessors who "fall once a
month" from professed purity be-
cause Of the opportunity afforded
by their office. What more is needed
to convict the Roman Catholic
church Of teaching, sanctioning and
condoning immortality? But proof,
even more conclusive, is afforded in
the lives of Rome's anointed. Edu-
cation in the classics is not needed
to discover the immortality of
Rome's fat friars in the Philippines,
Of pricstly monstrosities in Mexico,
and Of their suave fraternity in the
United States.
A typical instance Of Romish i'm
morality, taught by the example of
the priests, is afforded in the April
number Of the Metropolitan Mdgd-
