Principle With the Canon Law and Several Oatht of the Ro man Catholic Church, W Than Judge for Yourxlf Which Hav the True Spirit of Americanism in Them, th A. P. A. Principle or the Diabolical Obligation Taken by Roma's Minions. A. P. A, Principle. The following are the declarations of prin ciple adopted by the National Council of la A P. A. at DesMoloes: "Loyalty to true Americanism, which knows neither birth, place, race, creed, nor arty, Is the first requirement for member ship In the American Protective Association "Th American Protective Association is aot a political party, and does not control the political affiliations of Its members; but It teaches them to be Intensely active la the .ischarge of their political duties In or out f party lines, because It believes that all problems confronting our people will be bound solid by a conscientious discharge of the duties of citltenshlp by every Individual "While tolerant of all creeds. It holds tha". subjection and support to any political power ot controlled by American citizens, and which claims equal If not greater sovereignty than th government t the United States, Is Irreconcilable with American citizenship. It U, therefore, opposed to the holding of offices In state or national government by any sub ject or supporter of such ecclesiastical tower. "We uphold the constitution of the United tates of America, and no portion of It more than It guarantee of religious liberty, but we bold this religious liberty to be guaran ki to the Individual, and not to mean that aader It protection any un-American eccles iastical power can claim any absolute con trol over the education of children, growing p under the stars and stripe. "We consider the non-sec tarl-n free public achool the bulwark of American institutions, the best place for the education of American Children. To keep them such, we protest against the employment of subject of any en-American ecclesiastical power a o Ulcers r teacher of our public school. "We condemn the support out of the pub lic treasury by direct appropriation or by contract of any sectarian school, reform atory or other Institution not owned and Controlled by public authority. "Believing that exemption from taxation 1 equivalent to a grant of public funds, we demand that no real or personal property be xempt from taaatlon, the title to which is aot vested In the national or state govern ments, or in any of their sub-divisions. "We protest against the enlistment in tho United States army, navy, or the militia of any state, of any person not an actual citizen Of the United States, "We demand for the protection of our citi zen laborers the prohibition of the importa tion of pauper labor, and the restriction of all Immigration to persons who cannot show elr ability and honest intention to become lf-supporting Ameri an citizens. . "We demand the change of the naturaliza tion laws by a repeal of the act authorizing the naturalization of minors, without a pre vious declaration of Intention, and by pro Tiding that no alien shall be naturalized or permitted to vote in any state In the union Who cannot speak the language of the land, aaa who cannot prove jeven years' consecu tive residence In this country from the date Cf hi declaration of his Intention. "We protest against the gross negligence e4 laxity with which the Judiciary of out land administer the present naturalization laws, and against the practice of naturallz lag aliens at the expense of committees or Candidates as the niott proline source of the present prostitution of American citizenship t the basest uses. "We demand that all hospitals, asylums, reformatories, or other Institutions In whlcn aeeple are under restraint, be at all times object to public inspection, whether they ar maintained by the public or b. t private Corporations or individuals. "We demand that all national r state legislation affecting financial, comrt rclal or ladustrlal Interest be general In cl tracter and II no Instance in favor of any oe sec tion of the country, or any one class of the aeople." Cannon Law. L The constitutions of princes are not uperlor, but subordinate to ecclesiastical Constitutions. 1. The laws of the emperor cannot dis solve the ecclesiastical orcanen laws. C It is not lawful for an emperor to exact anything opposed to the apostolic rules. 4. It Is not lawful for kings to usurp the things that belong to priests. 5. No custom of anyone can thwart the statutes of the popes. 4. Let no resistance be offered to the apostolic (canon) precepts, but let them be alutlferiously fulfilled. T. The yoke Imposed by the holy see Is to be borne, though It appear Intolerable and Insupportable. I. The pontiff can neither be loosed no bound by the secular power. . That the Pontiff was called God by the pious Prince Constantino, and that as god he Cannot be Judged as man. 10, That as god he is far above tne reach f all human law and Judgment. II. That all laws contrary to the canons and decrees of the Roman prelates are of no force. 12. That all of the ordinances of the pope are unhesitatingly to be obeyed. 13. We ought not even to speak to one whom the pope has ex -communicated. H. Priests are fathers and masters, even f princes. 15. The civil law is derived from man, but the ecclesiastical or canon law la derived flrectly from God, by which the pontiff can. In connection with his prelates, make con tltutlons for the whole christian world, in natters spiritual, concerning the salvation f souls, and the right government of the Church; and If necessary judge and dispose Of all the temporal goods of all christians. 16. A heretic, holding or teaching false loctrlne concerning the sacraments. Is ex communicated and degraded, and handed ver to the secular court. IT. Secular princes unwilling to swear to efend the church against heretics are ex Communicated, and they are laid under an Interdict. 18. The goods of heretics are to be con lacated and applied to the church. 19. Advocates or notaries, favotiag here tics, or their defenders, or pleading for them o law suits, or writing documents for them. Are Infamous and suspended from office. JO, The secular powers, whether perma nent or temporary, are bound to sweat that they will exterminate, according to their power, all heretics condemned by the church; aad a temporal lord not purging his land of erotics, 1 ex-communlcated. U. Those signed with the cross for the ex- ternilaalloa of heretic, rejoice la th privi lege granted to to the crusader tor th help of the holy land. They are absolved from all obligation who are In anywise bound to oeretlc. J-i- Whoever die lu battle against th unbelieving, menu the kingdom of heaven. H. We do not esteem I In we hotulclee to whom It may have happened In their seal for t heir mother ch :rch against th ex-communlcated, to kill some of them. ii. That Oathullc Prince ar bound, both by civil and common law, aot to receive or tolerate heretic and much more ar not to permit their rite, or other exercise of their religion, or rather, their false sect, but ar most solemnly bound everywhere, to repel and expel them, 3. The following temporal punishment are to be enforced on heretics: 1st Infamy, and the consequent disqualifications for all civil act. Ind Intestability, a well active a passive (that Is, they can neither make nor will inherit what la left to them by others). 3rd Loss of paternal power over children. 4th Loss of dowry, and other privileges granted to women. 8lh Confisca tion of all goods. Cth-That vassal and slaves and others are free from all, even worn obligation due to their lord or an other. 7th Capital corporal punishment, especially death, and perpetual Imprison ment. 27. The canon law forbids all toleration. 28. That metropolitans and bishop are to x-oommunleate bint who grant liberty of conscience. 28. No oath is to be kept toward heretic princes, lords or others. 30. Heretics ar to be deprived of all civil and paternal right. 31. The pope can absolve from all oath. 32. Every bishop la ordinary Judge lnj cause of heresy. The reason 1 because th bishop can ex-officlo, and ought to extirpate heretic, and Inflict upon them the due pun ishment, and to this are bound on pain of deposition. Besides, are the Inquisitor es pecially deputed by the apostolic see. Every bishop In his diocese Is thought to be, and In reality Is, a natural Inquisitor, (liter ally born Inquisitor), so as to have the same power with those already mentioned In a cause of heresy. 33. In every promissory ath, although absolutely taken, there are certain condi tions tacitly understood, amongst which are: 1st If I can; 2nd To save the right and authority of a superior; 3rd When the oath supposes the honor of the apostolic see to be Illicit. 34.
