The ungl ateful Protestants even went
far as to disfranchise the Catholics in
1858 Baltimore gained control and re-
vived the liberation act.
Such papers as the Menace deal 10
falsehoods regarding the
Catholic church, yet thousands who
have never taken the trouble to inves-
tigate for themselves believe the Cath
