CoWardIy Censorship Of Books by Popery

y
THE POPE and his thousands of enthroned prelates
could conceal all the truth from all the people every
where all the time, the papal empire would soon be
able to blot liberty and intelligence from the EARTH While
masqueradng in the guse Of religion this cruel mediaeva
engine Of darkness every where and necessarily devils
ing methods to the press the magazines the
theatre the moving pictures and school and college text
books.
Why do not the Methodist and Baptist and other
churches engage this WatOn censorship and suppression
of truth7 Because they believe with the Lord that the
truth makes people free Roman prelaes and priests be-
eve that too but freedom of the people would be the end
of papa oppression That is why the fighting politicians
of Rome are so determined to suppress every instrument
and close every forum ofpublic discussion.
While the suppression Of current literature history
and art is chiefly wrought in secrecy by the fifty fraterna
hordes Of papa agtators in country diocesan organs
o the enhroned preates occasionally disclose to their
bengted readers the methods and scope of the wicked
and degrading censorship Several times within the last
year. the Bulletin of Catholic Federation has set forth the
raids being made newsstand book stores and pictures
In St Louis by Federation minions under command Of
Archbishop Glennon the enthroned Irshman who pre-
sumes to rule that city from his papal throne.
Now comes The Baltimore Catholic Review diocesan
organ of Cardinal Gibbons and In its issue of July 26
makes known to its papa readers that the Federated Col
ege Catholic Clubs have started in to the truth still
more completely out of the text books used in American
colleges and universities Many of those books have all
ready been ruined by emasculaton at the hands Of the
lpapal censor.
No historian get our school and college pub
fishing houses to place the market text mediaeval
or modern history till Roman priests buepenc the life
out of the book This paper has not such school book
that dares let the pupils know that title to ireland was
vested the British by the sale of that island to
king Henry III by Pope Adrian w With all the Wild
eyed papal ranng about Ireland Rome has studiorsly
and successfully kept this fundamental truth from all
students in high Schools colleges and universities Yet
the Catholic Encyclopedias admits that It IL true.
No school history is permitted by the censor to state
the fact that Roman preaes and priests and papa cor
operations led in the traffic in young women during the
Dark Ages Since it is longer possible to conceal the
atrocous and codbooded of whole cities and
provinces and the torture to death Of of thousands
of Christian men, women and children past centuries by
the papaI hierarchy and politicians the censor compels
historians to condone those monsrous beasates by the
misleading statement that Protestans were likewise
guilty No Protestant practced the prosecutions that
Rome had taught him after the transition period wherein
ne had not yet found his way from papa darkness the
light of truth and Christian liberty.
But the Baltimore paper says emissaries of Rome will
begin nationwide crusade against noxious obscene and
anti books pamphlets and literature in general
that is present being used nfrequenty in the larger
nonsectaran universities and colleges throughout the
United States If the welestabshed facts Of history
not true why the hundred enthroned preates Of
Rome in this country afraid answer repeated courteous
invitations Of the Free Press Defense League to submit all
the law and evidence to all the people debate? Censor
ship cannot expunge the revolving crimes Of popery
