Reverend no. 18'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. 18.—A Dead Beat.

   Many years ago he was an assistant pastor, and by treacherous conduct towards the pastor he secured a pastorate. During all these years he has been a man of intemperate habits. By unbusinesslike methods he almost put his parish into bankruptcy. He refused to pay the builder of his late church, who had to sue him. His present parish is wealthy and aristocratic.

   He is a clerical dead beat, a slave of Bacchus and a lover of Venus.

   He has a parochial school, and is the spiritual director of a large female boarding academy which has many non-Catholic pupils.

Crowley, Jeremiah J., Romanism a menace to the nation (a new and original work) together with my former book "The parochial school, a curse to the church, a menace to the nation" (two books in one): a searchlight on the papal system startling charges against individuals in the hierarchy made and filed by the author and a score of prominent priests—with photographic proofs and illustrations, 50th thousand, Aurora, Missouri: The Menace Publishing Co. [, c1912], p. 431.
