VIII. and Elizabeth, a wicked , church, a cursed church, established on the spoil of the old Catholic church of God—a church that would now rob the poor of Ireland of the last legacy left them by their forefathers—a church that was now tampering with the youth and age of this parish, under the awful visitation of Providence, to ensnare them, by holding out to them pecuniary relief only to ruin their souls —a church whose aim was to invent traps and titans for  26  them. They will give you schools for your children, damnable schools, and then seduce you into their churches. Oh,.what a curse ! Could he believe it to be the case that any parents should be found base enough to murder their children ? Whatever were their excuses, they were more inexcusable than Cain, who killed his brother Abel. . . .  "If any parents would send their children to such schools they were killing their souls, by making them feed on the poison and heresy of that cursed and damnable church—a church which was instilling into their mind the loathsome and soul-killing doctrines of Luther and Calvin. . . .  65  " There is only ono true church, which is the holy Catholic Church; a Church founded on such corrupt principles as I have alluded to cannot be the true  .ohurcT  " No; it is a Church which robbed God of His glory. A Church that despises His virgin mother, and deprives her of her honour. How can they honour the Son when they despise the Mother ? A Church which despised the saints ; a Church which divested the true Church of God of its glory, and had only retained the loathsome, filthy carcase, with which they would fain feed the poor deluded souls they were destroying by their heretical doctrine. Oh could the remains of those departed saints, who once adorned the now mouldering walls of that venerable abbey, arise and speak, and whose spirits are now in the realms of bliss, they would raise their voice, and tell what were the principles of that damnable Church: they would tell the sad history of spoliation which left it desert( d and in ruins; a Church founded on the spoil of the Catholic Church, supported and established by law. Ile wished the people of the parish would henceforth cease to hold any communication with such a foul institution. They should hold no intercourse with them, they should not speak to them, they should not listen to them, they should not salute them for the future on the highway, their very breath was poison. Now, let us pray the Holy Ghost may come down upon us, &c."
