A Typical Jesuit breaches TyDi-
cal Jesuisry, ON the Subject OF
s'CathOliC Church the Champion
OF Civil and Personal
Liberty

7 WO years ago, Prince James, of Balti-
more, preached most edifying homily,
to prove that the Pope's dungeons, racks,
wheels, Gre-piles, Albigensian crusade, St.
Bartholomew massacre, burnings under
Bloody Mary, Thirty Years War in Ger
many, and the butchery Of Huguenot colonists
IN Florida, had all been done for the adj
vancement Of religious liberty, and larger
sense Of brotherly love.
Of course, nobody would think of accusing
Prince James Gibbons of being the most un,
scrupulous Jesuit liar In America, for the
simple reason that there are other Jesuit liars
IN America who are equal to Prince James.
One Of these Jesuits, who is the peer of
Prince James, is a papal bachelor, named
Albert Biever, who has been rejoicing
Beelzebuh greatly, here of late, by the preach
ment of sermons In Houston, Texas.
Prince James, of Baltimore, never saw the
day when he could more smoothly reel off
whoppers than his brother Jesuit, Albert
Biever
Let me quote part of Albert's sermon:
Ever since the Savior of the world has pro-
claimed the brotherhood of man and the father
hood Of God, the Catholic church has fought for
liberty.
She fought for liberty for herself. Never did
she bend her glorious head under the yoke of
temporal prince and the rulers that lifted their
nandS TO ROB neF or her dlV1n6ly given liberty,
to grief. The Catholic church fought the
battles of personal liberty against slavery and
serfdom.
The colossal monuments of her battles for the
inalienable rights of man stand out in gigantic
relief in the history of Christandom Around
the slave she drew the circle OF her protection
and did not hesitate to bestow her dignities upon
slave and serf
FOUGHT FOR CIVIL LIBERTY.
She fought the battles Of civil liberty. For GEN.
turtles she the arbiter of nations and did not
hesitate to depose rulers who trampled upon the
liberty OF their people. "She freed Europe from
Roman depotism and barbarian feudalism. Her
bishops parties to all the charters of liberty
Wrenched from absolute monarchs. Trials by
jury and parliaments were her institutions, and
now she is accused Of befriending despotism and
Of crushing out free insttutions.''
You will see that The Jeffersonian dares to
do with the Jesuits what the Jesuits never
dare to do with The Jeffersonian-to-wi
quote IN full.
The Jesuits do not dare to quote me at all
they are afraid to do more than fling foul and
cOwardly abuse at me, Just as they have flung
ltla every other man who has exposed them.
Preaching to mixed audience, few of
whom are familiar with the plain facts of
history, such men as Gibbons and Biever
consider themselves safe In making the most
audacious statements in behalf of the church
qohioh has ruined every nation 1t euer ruled.
But when those sermons come to be printed,
it is different: somebody who knows the facts
is sure to convict the impudent Jesuits who
preached the sermons.
Biever says, that ever since the time of the
Savior, "the Catholic church has fought for
liberty"
1t was some other church, then that
wheedled the Emperor Constantine into pass
ing law which forced Roman subjects into
the church, ursde1 penalty Of death.
