By Rev. JAMES MACLEOD, Greenock.
It may appear strange to refer to anything from the pen of H. G. Wells in the pages of the F.P. Magazine, but after reading his Indictment of the Roman Catholic Church we are fully satisfied that Mr. Wells has not exaggerated the case against the Papal Church. His masterly way of gathering the salient facts of history, bringing the case against the Vatican up to date is worthy of the perusal of our people, especially the young folk: who are up against the power of the Church of Rome in the most subtle, and indeed satanic form. Mr. Wells explains the facts. This book should be read and carefully studied. Those of us who have been reading the history of Papal Rome for long enough can vouch for the truth of what is said in this book. Poor ignorant Protestants would laugh at any one who would associate the Pope, the Vatican, and the Jesuit with this war! This war is being fought between the Roman Church, and the principles of Protestantism as represented by the American people and the British people, and those associated with them in this struggle. Wells ends his little book by saying:—”Before mankind gets rid of it (that is the papacy) the Papacy may be drowning our hopes for the coming generation in a welter of blood—in an attempt to achieve a final world-wide St. Bartholomew’s Eve—and it will not add an inch to his stature nor alter the fact that pope, any pope, is necessarily an ill-educated and foolish obstacle of base resistance, heir to the tradition of Roman Catholicism in its last stage of poisonous decay, in the way a better order in the world.” The madness of our authorities to trust the agents of the papal church. In this book Wells reveals how Roman Catholics control the “B.B.C.” Need poor Protestants wonder at the stuff that pours forth from “The B.B.C.” on week days but especially on the Lord’s day? The Anglo-Catholics of England are on a par with the Roman Catholics. They work together, they think alike, seek the same ends, that is, that the Pope, and the “catholic” church would be supreme in the world over all nations, kings, and kingdoms. There is no doubt whatever but there is a secret league between all the Roman Catholic States of the world to destroy Protestantism from the face of the earth. We were recently told that there were over three hundred thousand men from Southern Ireland in the British Army! What for was not explained! Perhaps it would not be easy for the speaker to tell us! We were not told though how many of the three hundred thousand were Protestants from Southern Ireland. The Protestant part of the British Empire will yet feel and experience the curse of Romanism as never before. All the Roman Catholic countries of Europe are fighting with Hitler, and the Vatican. As reported in the press the Prime Minister on Sabbath evening assured his listeners that “Rome would be rescued” by the blood of the youth of the Allied nations.” What mockery! That sink of iniquity, that city of debauchery—according to H. G. Wells, where the ablest intriguers, schemers, and world-wide plotters to destroy the British Empire dwell. Mr. Churchill’s policy may be sound politics, but it is bad theology! God will destroy Rome and all it stands for. Alas for the man, or nation that will side with Rome when God’s time will come to destroy the papacy! The Papacy has been the greatest curse the world has even known. It is at the root of this war which began in 1914. The present Pope was for three years with Von Papen in Berlin preparing for it immediately after the cessation of hostilities in 1918. It was Papen that found Hitler. The present Pope agreed that the “man” was most suited to put their plans into execution! The plot was hatched in Rome and Berlin. When all was ready the present Pope returned to Rome to watch over his “cockatrice eggs.” The “eggs” were laid all over Europe, and as far east as Tokyo Roman Catholic France was an easy prey, Spain was in the know, an alliance with Russia (Military Alliance) would save the rear till heretical Britain would be forever subdued. Eire was to play her part in the interest of “mother church” as usual. The Roman Catholics of South Africa played their cards well but failed. The little savage Japanese did not hatch the Vatican “eggs” well at all when they attacked the U.S.A. Fleet so early in the fray! The yellow-savages could not be kept at bay as the prize was too dazzling and tempting: Australia, New Zealand, parts of India, and the Islands of the Pacific! The Japs smashed all the “eggs.” The Battle of Britain failed. Russia was the next to be attacked. It would be easier to join the Yellow Race on the plains of India than destroy Britain by air! The Russians smashed all the “Cockatrice eggs” of the Vatican in the east: and the Allies smashed the Armies of the Vatican in Africa. It was a black day for popery! Mr. de Valera is now appealing to save Rome from destruction. Mr. Churchill is promising to “rescue” Rome from whom? From Hitler! Impossible! It may be from the Russians. Who can tell. We see that this war centres in Rome! Will it end there? It verily began in Rome. Watch the Jesuits in Britain crying for peace, in the Empire, in the U.S.A., when ever they are convinced that the war is lost.
