Reverend no. 7'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. 7.—A Doctor of Medicine.

   In 1899 he was sent to one of the most prominent parishes in America. He was appointed second assistant pastor, and was put in immediate charge of the parochial school, which had about six hundred pupils. In 1902 he was charged with a number of penitentiary offences.

   The pastor of the parish tried for one year to see the Archbishop about this unworthy assistant, but the stereotyped reply of the Archbishop's valet was: "You can't see him. He is in the country."

   Finally this assistant was charged in a sworn affidavit with having committed an indecent assault upon a beautiful young lady, who was taken suddenly ill, and to whom he was called to administer the last rites of the Church. While hearing her confession he told her that he was "a doctor as well as a priest, and spoke about the female anatomy and sexual matters," and to her great shame and resentment made a digital examination. He then gave her the Sacraments.

   He was the spiritual director of the parochial school and was in the habit of visiting it daily. He would sit in the seats with the young girls. One day he asked one of the girls how she felt. She replied: "I have a pain in my hip." He said: "Come with me and I will cure you." He took her into the parochial residence, placed her on a lounge, exposed her person and indecently rubbed her with holy water, telling her that whenever she had a pain like that to come to him and he would treat her. The little girl told the nun who taught her in the school, and the nun reported it to the pastor. He should have been indicted for a criminal assault.

   On one occasion a father, on returning from business in the evening, found his little girl on the lap of this priest, who was taking indecent liberties with her. Said the parent: "My God! Father, what is the meaning of this? what are you doing?" "I am preparing her for her First Holy Communion," was the response of the assistant principal of the parochial school. The parent ordered the priest from his house, and threatened to kill him if he ever visited his home again. The Church authorities were made acquainted with the foregoing and other incidents of his depravity, and fearing that he would be arrested or lynched they punished him by promoting him to the position of assistant pastor in a neighboring parish!!! This man is still preparing children for their first Holy Communion!!!

The open or incomplete pentagram (Goethe; Taylor, tr., Faust: a Tragedy, 1889)

Text: none Quote: MEPHISTOPHELES. Well, we'll consider: thou canst gather My views, when next I venture in. Might I, perhaps, depart at present? FAUST. Why thou shouldst ask, I don't perceive. Though our acquaintance is so recent, For further visits thou hast leave. The window's here, the door is yonder; A chimney, also, you behold. MEPHISTOPHELES. I must confess that forth I may not wander, My steps by one slight obstacle controlled,--- The wizard's-foot, that on your threshold made is. FAUST. The pentagram prohibits thee? Why, tell me now, thou Son of Hades, If that prevents, how cam'st thou in to me? Could such a spirit be so cheated? MEPHISTOPHELES. Inspect the thing: the drawing's not completed. The outer angle, you may see, Is open left---the lines don't fit it.

Four kingdoms of Daniel 7 (Jamieson; Fausset; & Brown, A commentary, 1880, OT - vol. 2)

Text: "Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped ...

The satyr as representation of the devil (Réville, Histoire du diable, 1870)

Text: "The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest." Isaiah 34:14 Quote: [...] C’est aussi vers le même temps que la forme corporelle du diable devient quelque chose d’arrêté: c’est celle des anciens faunes et satyres, le front cornu, la bouche lippue, la peau velue, une queue, le pied fourchu du bouc ou le sabot du cheval.
