Reverend no. 17'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. 17.—A Cuspidor Martyr.

   His transgressions against all ecclesiastical proprieties have been continuous. When he was an assistant priest he was moved from one parish to another, as no pastor could tolerate him. He was drunken and immoral in his habits, and violent and brutal in his methods. He carries to-day a scar received from a former pastor who struck him with a cuspidor in self-defense.

   He and a clerical chum took two young girls to the presbytery of another priest, where they ruined them. These girls belong to prominent Catholic families.

   He was drinking in a saloon with other priests on an Easter Sunday night. They discussed their Easter offerings, and they were so pleased with the receipts that they drank copious toasts to the faith of the good Catholic people, and finally he began to sing a High Mass. He kissed the counter for an altar and then turned around with extended hands and chanted "Dominus vobiscum," the others chanting in response "Et cum spiritu tuo."

   He has a large parochial school.
