Reverend no. 13's story (Crowley, Romanism a menace to the nation, 50th thousand,1912)

Text: "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women..." Daniel 11:37 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry..." 1 Timothy 4:1-3

Quote:


Rev. No. 13.—A Ballad Singer.

   While he was an assistant pastor a scandal arose connecting his name with one of his female parishioners, in consequence of which he was transferred to an adjacent parish.

   An important parish, in which is located a prominent female academy, became vacant, and he was promoted to it. Worthy priests, when this appointment was announced, exclaimed: "Behold the priest who has been selected to guide the sisters and pupils in the ways of chastity!!!"

   He has appeared many times before the public, with ecclesiastics of his ilk, in the role of a ballad singer.

   He rarely appears in public in the garb of a priest—his dress is usually secular.

   There are on file at the Vatican the most serious charges against him.

   Money is his god and Venus is his goddess.

   In his parochial school there are enrolled over 500 children; and the female academy has over 300 pupils, a number of them being Protestants.
