How the Mexican Priests De-
ceived Theodore Roosevelt.

WHENEVER and wherever converts and
monasteries have been 8uddeH1y I'M
covered, the actual truth about them has been
revealed.
1t was SO in the time Of the English Refor-
nation, as you may learn from the histories
Of Bishop Burnett, James Anthony Fr0ude,
&c.
It was 50 when the Grand Duke of Tus-
cany Investigated italian converts, as related
in Count De Lasteyrie's history of Am5cu1ar
Confession.
1t was 50 in Portugal, several years ago,
when the nuns came out Of the converts, some
leading their children. some with babes at
the breast, and some presenting unmistakable
evidence of being in a certain condition.
Mr.. Roosevelt rushes into print to tell
mankind that some of the Mexican nuns are
about to become mothers"
All right, Theodore
Don't you worry-they are used to it.
This time the converts were suddenly
seized by the revolution, and the lid came of
before the priests had time to c0gcr things
up.
The clustered concubines of the monks and
the priests were suddenly compelled to come
forth and show themselves.
Hence, the truth came out.
Some Of them acere about to become moth
ers.
But who were the men in the case?
Not Villas soldiers.
Veritable assaults on women do not produce
children.
To become mother woman has to con-
form to the principles of reciprocity.
In every real case of rape, the victim COM
plains at once.
In this Mexican case, the ladies waited too
long.
1t was only when they were "about to be-
come mothers" that they complained and laid
it on Villas soldiers
A complaint that waits until the nun can
no longer conceal her condition. ought not to
have imposed upon the impulsive credulity
of Theodore Roosevelt.

The priests contend that the Jews, right
then and there, ate Christs body and drank
his blood.
That as Transu6Stamtiotion!
Was there ever a greater insult to common
sense?

what did he eat?
II the Disciples at the table ate Christ and
drank his blood, what was it, that agonized
and sweated blood in the Garden?
What was it that the soldiers nailed to the
Cross, and pierced with the spear?
Ii the Disciples actually ate Christ's body
and drank his blood, by what power does the
recreation, and continual eating and drink
ing OF Christ, come dorm to our Darn day?s
1t the Disciples drank Christ's blood,
where did the Popes get that bottle of it,
which they used in the fake miracles of the
Middle Ages?
When the Disciples ate and drank Christ,
at the passover, did his flesh and blood mingle
with the other food in their system?
When the Roman Catholics now swallow
Christ, does his body" thus taken into their
stomachs go through a process of digestion
and elimination. like other food?
We are told that those Catholics Of TODAY
who fail to attend Mass and to eat their
Savior, commit deadly sin. How about the
millions of Catholics who, for more than 800
years after Christ celebrated his Last Supper
IN the same manner that we Protestants now
do?
Did those Catholics commit sin. bv having
bread, fish, and wine on the table. and by
leislrel y eating the meal just as they ate other
meals?
If the present miracle of changing bread
into God was always in the power of the
priests, why did it take them nearly 900
years to find it out?
And why, after Pascasius announced his
Jaczass doctrine, did it take the Church
another three hu91dred yeor8, to endorse and
adopt it?
Not until the Lateran council of 1915. was
Characterization made an article of faith!
Therefore, the literal truth is. that this
"5nfa7z56ze" Church no3o admits that 1t aoas

1900 gears, and has been right about it, only
700 years!
Erasmus, Scotus, Bruys, Sirmond, Mabillon
and Bellarmine, all of whom are eminent and
orthodox Catholic scholars and authors. con-
cede that the dirty old fanatic, Pascasius,
originated the modern, cannibaIistic doctrine
Of God-eating: and Pascasius lived in the 9th
century.
Sometime ago, Mr. w. W. Prescott, the
Editor Of the Protestant Magazine, proposed
to the priests that the bread which they claim
to turn into Christ be submitted to chemical
analysis.
He thought it would be fair to let an ex-
pert test the pan cake. after the priest had
pretended to change it into Christ.
But the priests were shocked and indig-

As TO EATING CHRIST.
Here Is a Fair and Pleasant
Proposition TO line Roman
Catholic Priests.

his cell IN france. ana began to teach the
doctrine of Transubstantiation.
This big word means, that the bread and
wine of the Supper were changed into flesh
and blood after the priest had talked Latin
to them.
In those days the crazier a man was, the
more apt was he to make common sense
ashamed Of itself.
For example, a maniac named Peter the
Hermit, made Europe howl because the Inf
dels were cruel to the pilgrims who tramped
to Jerusalem to see the empty tomb of
Christ.
Peter not only howled about it. in a truly
dismal manner, but he said it was the qUiU of
God, that Europe should send armies to the
Holy Land, and capture that empty grave.
At that time, whatever the priests said was
the will of God, had to be accepted, else you
would die suddenly and in great pain
So when this very crazy and very dirty old
monk, Peter preached the Crusade, Europe
dropped its common sense, and began to send
armies Eastward to seize that hole in the
ground
Even the women and children caught the
craze, and one army Of little boys and girls
persisted miserably in this mad enterprise.
For 200 years, the Roman Catholic Church
kept up that disastrous mania; and when at
last 1t passed away, the Pope and his priests
owned the bulk of the wealth Of Christendom.
The kings, and the nobility had i'm
poyerished themselves fitting out those expen-
siye expeditions, while the cunning Popes
stayed at home, and gathered in the ducats.
Now. when the crazy old monk Pascasius,
crawled out Of his dirty old hole, and declared
that it had been revealed to him that the
Lords Supper must consist of eating and
drinking the Lord, the doctrine sounded so
very crazy that it became fascinating
It was an age when learning and intellect
had been subjected to Papal superstition, and
when the average mind crayed the miracu-
lous.
The physician who could cure by natural
methods, was desplsed: the priest who cured
by touching the sick with nasty old bone,
was venerated
Therefore, the simple Commemoration of
Christ's last celebration Of the Jewish pass
over-which had been kept in the Roman
Catholic Churches for eight centuries-was
changed into the modern Eucharist, for the
reason, mainly, that the Supper was so plain,
simple, and reasonable.
The Eucharist, being mysterious subtle,
and defiant Of reason, captivated the media
val minds, qcbich demanded m5raculous food
such as you will find in Romanist histories,
legends, fables, miracles, apparitions, &C., Of
that era
(See DR.. Dollinger's Fables Of P0pes IN
Middle Ages.)
"This is my body" said Christ; and the
Papists now claim that he meant it literally.
They admit he spoke fgu9ati0ezy, when he
said he was grape vine, and sheep keeper,
and house door, and a lamb, and candle,
and highway
All these expressions were plainly fgura-
tive-aohy?
Because our common sense tells lis that
Christ could not be God, and Man. and
