Again you will see that Rome’s idea is to force all of humanity to bow at the feet of her creed.
Again she declares in her “Canonistic Laws:” “That the state has not the right to assist the inmates of monasteries and convents to abandon them.”
Again you will see that Catholicism desires to usurp the rights of the courts and establish prisons of their own without a semblance of law.
Once more this “Canonistic Law” thunders forth her monarchial law as follows: “The Roman Catholic church has the right to require the state not to leave every man free to profess his own religion.”
Again the reader will see that Roman Catholicism with her iron hand demands this nation to force and compel every man, woman and child that lives under that old red, white and blue flag, which was bought by the blood of our forefathers, to humbly bow to this heathenish creed.
The next, and one of the most damnable laws found among the “Canonistic Laws” of Catholicism, is as follows: “Roman Catholicism has the right to exercise her power without permission or consent of the state.”
Within this Romish law any one can easily discern her monarchial designs, as she boldly and flagrantly declares that she has the right to do as she sees fit, without even being molested or questioned by the laws of this country.
Further on in the “Canon Laws” of Catholicism we find the following: “Roman Catholicism has the right to prevent the foundation of any national church not subject to the direct authority of the Roman pontiff.”
Thus the reader will see that the Protestant churches of America exist only by and through the numerical power of Protestantism, but should Romanism ever become powerful enough in this country she would, within the twinkling of an eye, destroy or confiscate every Protestant church now in existence.
Further along in this Romish “Canon Law” we find that she strikes at the dearest institutions of our land, as follows: “The Roman Catholic church has the right to deprive the civil authorities of the entire government of the public schools.”
The reader will see by this declaration that should Catholicism ever come in control of the affairs of this government that our public schools, which are the bulwarks of our American government, would have their very foundations rooted up and scattered to the four winds of the earth.
The most devilish and damnable law, in my estimation, that is to be found upon the statute books of Catholicism is the following: “Roman Catholicism has the right to require that the Roman Catholic religion shall be THE ONLY RELIGION of the nation, to the exclusion of all others.”
We have the entire principles of Catholicism embodied in this last “Canonistic Law,” as Roman Catholicism’s aim and intention is to put this declaration into effect as soon as she can become powerful enough to execute her plans.
