“American Freedom and Catholic Power,” by Paul Blanshard.
This book is considered by competent critics the ablest exposure of the Roman Catholic Church in modern times. Mr. Blanshard was and is a Roman Catholic (as far as we know), and he writes from his personal knowledge of the Church of Rome from the inside. His assertions are verified facts, with proofs, references, times, places, persons, and subjects. His attitude towards the Church of Rome is not bitter or censorial. He states the facts, and that is absolutely sufficient to brand this abomination as the most dangerous organisation to the peace of nations that ever existed. The book is written in excellent style, chaste; and most certainly Mr. Blanshard is master of his pen. Every Protestant Minister should possess a copy of this book. We have read scores of books and histories dealing with pre- and post-Reformation times, but never one so damaging to the Roman Catholic Church as this one. The information is simply extraordinary of the efforts of the Vatican to get absolute control of the United States of America. Canada is virtually and, one might say, entirely, under the heel of the Vatican, which is a perfect scandal. We appeal to all Protestant ministers, lay preachers, and office-bearers in the United Kingdom to rouse the people to the depth of their being in preaching and lecturing; teachers to instruct the children in the schools against the curse of Romanism. It is the greatest curse of the age.
We recommend Blanshard’s book. Price 3.50 dollars, or approximately 25/-. The Beacon Press, Boston, 1949; or apply to Protestant Truth Society, 184 Fleet Street, London, E.C.4.—J. M.
