Excerpt from Parliamentary Corruption as Developed in Its Connection With Jesuit Incorporation and the Quebec Jesuits Estates Act!: Thereby Placing Protestantism at a Discount, and Aiding and Abetting Romish Aggression in Canada
And this position, which we here need do no more than thus con cicely state, brings prominently to our view the very considerate kindness shown to Rome by our Canadian Government (having Sir John Macdonald at its head) in presenting to that very amiable body of Romanists, the Jesuits, through the Quebec Legislature, the nice little encouraging sum of $400, 000 to be retained by them in full or in part, at the discretion of the Pope, and which must be most gratifying and inspiring to them, no doubt, in the1r Antr Protestant work of faith and labor of love! We think, however, that the money was very unwisely appropriated, and could scarcely have been devoted to a worse or more censurable purpose. A year or more before, (in 18871) as all Canadians know, these Roman Jesuits had been 1ncorporated, and by the sanction of the same Protestant (l) Dominion Government; and' this, too, in face of the fact that only a few years before the Oiange Society, which 1s a Society organized as a protective Protestant body, were refused incorporation!
Such'a procedure on the part of a Government which is, in name, very largely Protestant, is simply astounding! And its head, knowing well his ill desert, will perhaps pardon me when I say You ought to be horsewhipped, Sir John, and your Cabinet should be made to swing the whip; and if they didn't lay it on heavy enough, they should have it themseles - in fact, you all most richly deserve it, but more especially the ringleader Of the Protestant Anti Protestant Parliamentary Combination, who plays the chameleon so adroitly, and who rides the many-hued beast, as captain, in true mili tary style, as oft as changing circumstances and occasions may require!
There has, howeyer, I am pleased to Observe, been a very general feeling expressed throughout the country for a disallowance, by the Dominion Government, Of the obnoxious Act, although it has not been as yet (july, 1889 di.sallowed Referring to said disallowance, which from Christian Protestant considerations, even if from no other, would certainly be most desirable as well as most just in a Protestant country, a Canadian political journal (the organ Of S1r t ohn Macdonald, the Premier,) says, we are striving to rouse the devil of sectarian feeling.' This must have come either from the pen Of a Jesuit, or from a Jesuitically interested Tory Jesuit Tory or Jesuit Grit, however, it doesn't matter a whit; but to this gentleman scribbler whoever he may be, we will, as it is a question of importance bearing upon the general subject of this work take occasion to re ply, that raising a general Protestant' feeling, on behalf of the gen eral and most vital interests of a Protestant nation or Federation, is notjraising a sectarian feeling. To attempt to rouse the feelings.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of arguments from the anti-Catholic perspective, primarily organized around concerns over the re-emergence of Jesuit influence in Quebec, Canada. The author believes that Catholicism, particularly in its Jesuit form, poses a substantial threat to the country. Quebec is presented as a test case; the author feels that the unchecked power of the Church over civil matters in that province, with support from Canadian officials, represents an effort to increase Catholic power that will eventually affect all of Canada. The author presents a history of the Church's actions, largely from the Protestant point of view, and uses it to support the argument that Catholicism is tyrannical, authoritarian, and oppressive, and offered little value to society. He argues that the Catholic hierarchy hides behind slogans of religious freedom to advance its own interests, and that their current influence in law, media, and education is deeply damaging to the health and stability of the nation.
