MiIitariism and EcCIesiastiCism

Ex77 ARE ALL more familiar, perhaps, with persons
lW than we are with the principles which control
BID them. We know our neighbOrs better than we
L4 know their character We know their faces bet
ter than we know their plans and ambitions. And it
was that at the beginning Of the great war, knew
more about the Kaiser of Germany than knew about
kaisersm which not peculiar to confined to Ger
many, or to Prussia, or to the HOhenzOllerns.
There was an emperor of Austria and sultan of
Turkey, for instance who kasers in practice, who
believed in kaisers and who had to be fought to make
the world safe for democracy KaiSerism the thing
common to the three auOcrats whose armies threatened
civilization.
Every schoolboy who has wrestIed with lessons in
Latin knows that kaiser and caesar" are the same
word differently pronounced The kaisers of Germany
inherited their title from the caesars of Rome while the
pOpes of Rome inherited their throne from the decayed
empire of the caesars.
The logical result is that kaiseris, caesaris and
popery fundamentally IDENTICAL Each and all amount
to the thing which is called mOnarchism or
rule Kasers caesars and pOpes of present and past
history, assert divine right to rule mankind and they
do with the help Of arstocracy which is variOusy
named.
The German kaisers aristocrats included such char.
acters as Hindenburg Ludendorf, Mackensen and the
like whom may designate military arist0crats; and
when their operations considered find that they
were actuated by another Of the isms which call
militarsm.
Therefore, when American soldier boys marched in
to the trenches in France they confronted not the kaiser
and kaserSm much the kaSers generals and mill
there to fight for conquest while kaiser and kaiser
ism directed the operations from their throne
Now there is an exact parallel and duplication of
aristocrats who carry on the popes operations in this
country His arstOcrats are not generals in the military
sense and their activities not of military nature.
Instead Of generals the pope has his cardinals and bish
ops who constitute the papal arisOcracy Chief among
these is the sOcalled cura at Rome which is comparable
to the general staff of the kaiser These agents of the
pope ecclesastcs; and we have another ism
ecclesasticism which is comparable with the mitarism
of German generals.
The moral of all which is that eccIesastcism from,
Rome has invaded America to achieve the same ultimate
purpose which inspired mlitarism from Germany to in
wade Belgium and France The papal monarch by means
of his arisOcratc clergy has invaded America to con-
quer national ideals and thereby achieve control of
this nation by persuasion just as the kaiser of Germany
invaded neghbOring nations by Of his arstOcratic
generals to achieve control Of the invaded countries and
ultimately of the earth.
Our soldier boys have fought and defeated the mill
tarsts of the kaiser what will they do concerning the
eccesastics of the pope? They have checked hostile
mtarsm: what will they do with hostile eccesiasti-
csm? One was military problem that had to be settled
by wars the other is political problem that has to be
settled by citizens in civil life.
THE CURIA AT ROME

more about the German arstocracy and its mill
LCl tarism it would undoubtedly have been better
prepared for the assault that came SO Unexpectedly
in the of 1914 If the people of the United States
knew about popery-mOre about papal eccIesias-
cis they would not be Indifferent to the invasion
of American politics and civilization that has been SO
u long in progress.
To the end of securing information concerning these
things, let submit the testimony of an eminent Eng
ishman, Lord Robert Montagu who is competent TO tell
much that is unknown concerning popery and its aris
tocracys administration at Rome-the Roman curia.
Says he:
