Reverend no. 20'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. 20.—A Sodomist.

   In his early career he was an assistant at one of the leading churches in a great city. While there he was under grave suspicion of abominable misconduct, and his superiors and friends, fearing that he would be arrested by the civil law, to the scandal of the Church, promoted him to a rectorship. In both places he committed sodomy. He was also guilty of habitual drunkenness. His parishioners rose en masse and sent deputations to his archbishop to demand his removal. They submitted proofs. Their efforts were in vain. The parishioners then appealed to a neighboring bishop to help them get the rotten priest removed. That bishop's efforts were futile, and the clerical beast remained unmoved for years, a stench in the nostrils of the entire community.

   In 1901 he was promoted to the rectorship of a city parish, where he is now curing souls and warning the faithful against the "godless public schools."

   When his present parish opens its parochial school it will have a sodomist for its principal.
