Excerpt from America or Rome, Which? The author believes that Roman Catholicism is un-American and its polity and spirit are antagonistic to our free institutions. It has made a murderous assault upon our public schools, degraded our morals, seeks to destroy our liberties - both secular and religious - to overthrow the freedom of the press, and has made war upon the universal reading of the Bible. The Roman Church has gone further and declared that our marriage vows are "filthy concubinage." To these traitorous sentiments I have entered a most solemn protest. In regard to the theological opinions of Rome, only so far as they touch upon our national life, I have not expressed an opinion. But, as an American, and one who loves the Stars and Stripes, I enter a plea for the preservation of our free institutions. I have striven to be judicial in my sentiments, conservative in language, accurate in statements, and, above all, charitable in thinking. If this book makes us love our land with more ardor and affection, I shall be grateful to the Giver of all good.
