IS certainly a proof Of the extreme care
lessness with which some intelligent people
read papers and magazines, that [ should be
accused of the authorship of that attack upon
the Masons. which was made in 1910, by the
HNew World" the official organ of Arch
bishop Quigley, of Chicago.
| distinctly stated that this attack
the Masons was made in the paper, which car.
RES on its face, the official sanction, not only
OF Archbishop Quigley, but of the pope and
John BonzanO, the popes ambassador to our
Government.
This attack on Masonry was copied into the
magazine which is known as "Life and
Action" and which is published by the Indo-
American Company, Of 222 North Kedzie
Avenue Chicago, Illinois
The date of it's appearance in the Chicago
magazine, Life and Action, was the summer
of 1910. their July-August number It be-
gins on page 100 of that issue of Life and
Action, and runs to page 116.
just before the beginning Of the article
which it took from the New World, Life and
Action quoted from me as follows:
"Roman Catholicism threatens the very
foundation Of our institutions, it stries at the
very root of our liberties.
A good Catholic is 6ou,ed to believe that
supreme sovereignty in inherent in the holy
pope at Romeo, and that the pope has the
power, as the vice gerent Of Christ, to depose
kings and rule nations That has always been
the Catholic doctrine, and the cbttr0h boasts
that 1t 4eveY changes 1t can wait, it can dis
semble, it can wheedle and hoodwink and de-
ceiye, but it doe snot change It's purpose is
ever the same and wherever it has been
master, it has been a slight"
At the close Of the article, on page 116, Life
and Action has another quotation of mine,
divided off by space and marks from the
attack on Freemasonry, and SO enclosed in
quotations marks that there was no excuse
whatever, for any one installing my stuff
for that which was being copied from the
Roman Catholic paper, the New World.
That quotation from me is taken from the
Foreign Missions book, and is credited that
way
Gin the United States Roman Catholicism
is sweeping all before it. Fourteen millions
of our people profess its creed. A few months
ago, American prelates assured Pope Plus
that our Republic would soon belong to
Rome. Not many weeks since, an American
Catholic bishop declared that his church
meant to capture the Presidency. It is al
ready the power behind the throne. Cardinal
Gibbons is a potentate whom Cleveland dared
not offend, and Roosevelt has been VIGOROUSLY
controlled in various instances by the same in
sidious, irresistible influence. The greater
number of our large cities are ruled by a COM
bination Of the priests and the saloon-keep-
ers'
In order that our readers may again see
what the Roman Catholics have published
against Freemasonry, in one of their great
weekly papers which has the official sanction Of
the pope, the papal ambassador and of Arch
bishop James E. QuigIey will again publish
the article, and [ trust that everybody will
understand that the remainder of this article
is not written by me at all, but is being copied
from Life and Action" which, in it's turn
