Excerpt from Two Lectures on the Inquisition: Delivered in Spring St. Church, Milwaukee
American citizens in Italy, and protesting Catholics, should be permitted to exercise the rights of conscience, even in sight of the Vatican, as do the vassals of the Pope, under the protecting nis of the Constitution of the United States; and the burning indignation of the world should be aroused against the State or Council, Civil or Ecclesiastical, which subjects God's freemen to torture, imprisonment or death, for non-conformity to prescribed religious dogmas or ceremonies. The despotism which makes non-conformity a penal offense, is a disgrace to the governing party, and an out rage upon the governed. The Church which cannot be saved without so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of its Priesthood, deserves to die - and it will die, for it is blasted by the breath of the Almighty, and its ghostly officials shriek in agony at the entrance of the light, and burn the Bible which reveals to the perishing tribes of earth the way of Life.
