Reverend no. 2'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. 2.—A National Character.

   His parochial school has over a thousand pupils. In the winter season he is very fond of providing sleighing parties for the young ladies of his school, and he always arranges it so that there is a lack of at least one seat. The consequence is that one young lady rides in the pastor's lap. This rector is one of the most lecherous of the lewd members of the priesthood.

   He constantly attends and "plays" the races. He won $60,000 on one race. He is an habitue of race-tracks, gambling houses and brothels. He is a national character.

   His "O. K." is omnipotent. Gamblers have to secure it in order to run their houses in his section of his city; and candidates for the priesthood have to obtain it to get ordained.

   This man has been guilty, on land and sea, of unprintable lewdness. He presented one of his mistresses with a belt, each link being a twenty-dollar gold piece. He is reputed to be worth about a million dollars.

   Caught in flagrante delicto he said: "I never believed in celibacy, I never preached it, never practiced it, and never will. It's a humbug."
