Excerpt from Washington in the Lap of Rome
Who will fall down and worship it. They who yield have peace and praise. They who refuse must fight a terrible foe. The cry has been for peace. The lips of some of the ministers and members of the Church of Christ have been padlocked. Politicians, in the grasp of this power, are unable or unwilling to move. They clank their chains with delight, and glory in being allied with an organism SO potential and SO astute. Others see the peril, and withstand its Open and determined advance. NO longer now is the clash of arms.

Reseña del editor
Lap of Rome has been written to call the attention of the American people to the great trust which has been betrayed, and to the great work which devolves upon them. It uncovers facts which will bring the blush of shame to the cheek of the real Republican and fill his soul with indignation. Fifteen thousand department clerks are under the surveillance of Rome. If it be not true, as is charged, that a private wire runs from the White House, in Washington, to the Cardinal s Palace, in Baltimore, and that every important question touching the interests of Romanism in America is placed before his eye, before it becomes a public act, it is true that the Cardinal is a factor in politics. Romanism is the dominant power in the Capitol of the United States. Lincoln, Grant, and Arthur withstood it, and suffered the consequences. The power is unseen. It is shadowy. It inhabits the air and infects it. Romanism is the malaria of the spiritual world. It stupefies the brain, deadens the heart, and sears the conscience as with a hot iron.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the dangerous and pervasive influence of the Roman Catholic Church in America during the late 19th century, exposing the hidden machinations of the institution and its Jesuit order. The author reveals the Churchââ â¢s ambition to control education, politics, and ultimately, the very soul of the nation. The bookââ â¢s analysis is framed against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in American history, the proposed construction of a Catholic University in Washington, D.C. The author skillfully weaves together historical accounts, scriptural interpretation, and contemporary observations to expose the Churchââ â¢s agenda and its insidious tactics. The bookââ â¢s central argument lies in its fervent warning of a perceived threat to American liberty posed by the growing power of the Roman Catholic Church. Ultimately, it serves as a powerful call to action, urging readers to recognize and resist the perceived threat of Romanism and its influence on American society.
