There was never a convent until a thous~

Because priests took wives.
The Greek Catholics compel their priests
to take wives-why?
Because the priest who hasn't got wife

The Greek Catholic Church has never had
the ex-priest and eX-nun scandals, producing

Bishop Benz. Kelley is the only citizen OF
Georgia who arrogates to himself the pre-
rogative of saying that he will not recognize
and obey the laws of the State.
He applied the law of the Italian church
to the legal marriages of Frank Boifeulllet
and Bernard Browll-both citizens of Geor-
he, Bishop Kelley, nullifed those marriages,
perpetrating a highhanded and most cruel
outrage upon those Georgia women.
He applied the law of his italian sovereign
to the statute which requires the inspection
of all institutions where citizens are held
under restraint; and he nulllfied the Georgia
law in compliance with the foreign statutes
of his Italian sovereign.
Is this the man who should be chosen for
Orator of Memorial Day?
Is treason to be glOrified!
Does the fact that Kelley served in the War
excuse his present attitude of defiance to
law?

that Pat Cleburne and Raphael Semmes were

What's that got to do with the question Of

against State zegiszation2
The Catholics of 1860 had not been taught
by the Pope that all Protestant marriages
were cOncublnous.
Neither General Cleburne, nor Admiral
Semmes would have told General Lee that his
marital relation was "legalized prostitution"
Not until 1908, did we have that infamous
Ne ten1ere decree proclaimed in America, and
perfectly legal marriages disrupted by it.
Not until the last few years did Catholic
prelates put on all the pomp of foreign
princes, ana lnsolently proclaim their defiance
of American law.

Why WAS THAT?
The Catholic Daughters of Atlanta waited

who puts Rome's laws above ours.
The Macon Daughters waited till this year,
to discover that Kelley was the orator needed.
These honors are showered upon Kelley,

bar by the supreme court of the
District of Columbia in 1871. lie
