Th American 1'mtectlve Association la a political party, and doe not Control th political affiliation of It member) but It teachea them to be intensely active In th Uncharge of the,, political dullea In or out f party Hue. because It believe that all problem confrontluf our people will be bound solid by a coaaclenttoua discbarge of tbadutlea of cliltenahlp by every Individual. "While tolerant of all creed. It bold that Subjection and support to any political power hot controlled by American cltlaena, and which claim equal If not greater sovereignty than th government of the United 8tata, I Irreconcilable with American cttlsensblp. It Is, therefore, opposed to the holding of office la tlat or national government by any sub Jact or supporter of such ecclesiastical power. ws uphold th constitution of the United I late of America, and bo portion of It more than lu guarantee of religious liberty, but eld this religious liberty to be guaran tee to the Individual, and not to mean that ader lu protection any un-American eccles iastical power can claim any absolute- con trol over the education of children, growing ap under the atari and stripes. "W consider th non-sectarian free public, School the bulwark of America) Institutions, th best place for th education of American BhUdren. To keep them such, w protest against th employment of subjects of any la-American ecclesiastical power as officers er teacher of our public schools. Ws condemn the support out of th pnb lla treasury by direct appropriation or by ontract of any sectarian school, reform atory or other Institution not owned and ontrolled by public authority. "Believing that exemption from taxation la equivalent to a grant of public funds, we (amend that no real or personal property be axsmpt from taxation, the title to which 1 aot vested In the national or state govern assets, or In any of their sub-dlvlslons. "We protest against the enlistment In the Halted Bute army, navy, or th mtlltlaot hay state, of any person not an actual cltlsen t th United States. "We demand for the protection of our cltl taa laborer th prohibition of th Importa tion of pauper labor, and the restriction of all Immigration to person who cannot show slr ability and honest Intention to become Alf-supportlng American cltlsens. "We demand th change of the naturalisa tion lawt by a repeal of the act authorising th naturalisation of minors, without a pre vious declaration of Intention, and by pro viding that no alien shall be naturalised or permitted to vote In any state In the union who cannot apeak th language of the land, and who cannot prove jeren years' consecu tive residence In this country from the flats tt bis declaration of his Intention. "Ws protest against the gross negligence Mi. laxity with which the Judiciary of our Had administer th present naturalisation law, and against the practice of naturalls tag aliens at the expense of committee or aadtdates as the niott prolific source of the present prostitution of American cltlsenshlp la the basest uses. "We demand that all hospitals, asylums, tatormatorles. or other lnstltatlons In whlcn aeeple are under restraint, be at all time abject to public Inspection, wheUier they are maintained by th publto or b, private arporatlon or Individuals. "W demand that all national a state legislation affecting financial, coma, Kiel or Industrial interests be general In cl sracter had In no instance In favor of any oae sec tion of the country, or any one class of th feople." Cannon Law. I. The constitutions of princes are not superior, but subordinate to ecclesiastical tonstltutlons. t. The laws of the emperor cannot dis aalve the ecclesiastical orcanen laws. 1 It 1 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. . No custom of anyone can thwart the statutes of the popes. - L Let no resistance be offered to the apostolic (canon) precepts, but let them be aalutlferiously fulfilled. T, The yoke Imposed by the holy see Is to V borne, though It appear Intolerable and Insupportable. t. The pontiff can neither be loosed no wound by the secular power. I That the Pontiff was called God by the pious Prince Constantino, and that as god he (snoot be Judged as man. 10. That a god ha Is far above the reach af all human law and Judgment. II. That all law contrary to the canons aad decrees of the Boman prelates are of no force. II That all of the ordinances of the pope are unhesitatingly to be obeyed. 11. We ought not even to speak to one whom the pope ha ex-communicated. 14. Priests are father and masters, even al princes. 14. The civil law Is derived from man, but th ecclesiastical or canon law la derived directly from God, by which the pontiff can, la connection with hi prelates, make con Itltutlons for the whole christian world. In tatters spiritual, concerning the salvation f souls, and the right government of the March ; and if necessary Judge and dispose at all the temporal goods of all christians. 14. A heretic, holding or teaching false doctrine concerning the sacraments. Is ex communicated and degraded, and handed ver to the secular court. IT. Secular princes anwiUlc; to swear to defend the church against heretics are ex (ommunlcated, and they are laid uoder an Interdict. U. The goods of heretics are to be con tecated and applied to the church. 15. Advooates or notaries, favoring here sies, or their defenders, or pleading for them law suits, or writing document for them. Are Infamous and suspended from office. SI. The secular powers, whether perma nent or temporary, are bound to sweat that they will exterminate, according; to their ewsr, all heretics condemned by the church had a temporal lord not purging his laud of heretics, Is ax-communicated. n. Those signed with the cross tor the ex- tcMbiasUoa of heretics. rr4ce la the prtvl Irf granted to to th crusaders for th help of th holy land. C They are absolved from all obligations who are la anywise bound to n re tics. O. Whoever dies la battle agslost the unbelieving, menu the kingdom of braves. 24. We do not esteem Ummm homlcleee to whom It may have happened la their seal for their mother church against the ex-commu-Bleated, to kill some of them. IX That Catholic Princes are bound, both by civil andcoinmoa law. aot to receive or tolerate heretics, aad much more are aot to permit their rites, or other exercise of their rrllgloa, or ruber, thslr false sect, but are most solemnly bound svery where, to repel and expel them. M. The following temporal punishments are to be enforced on heretic: 1st Infamy, and th consequent disqualifications for all civil acts. 2nd Intestability, as well active as passive (that Is, they can neither mak nor will Inherit what is left to them by others). Ird Loss of paternal power over children, 4th Loss of dowry, and other privileges granted to women, (th Confisca tion of all goods. (tbThst vassals and slsves and others are free from ail, even sworn obligations dus to their lord or an other. TtbCapltal corporal punishment, especially death, and perpetual Imprison nient, ST. The canon law forbids all toleration. tt. That metropolitans and bishops are to x-oommunluate him who grants liberty of conscience. 28. No oath Is to be kept toward heretic princes, lords or others. lu. Heretics are to be deprived of all civil had paternal rights. IL The pope can absolve from all oaths. gt Every bishop Is ordinary Judg la a cause of heresy. Tbs reason 1 because the bishops can ei-oftlclo, and ought to extirpate heretics, and Inflict upon tbetn the due pun ishments, and to this are bound on pain of deposition. Besides, are the Inquisitors es pecially deputed by the apostollo see, Every bishop la his diocese Is thought to be, and In reality Is, a natural Inquisitor, (liter ally born Inquisitor), so as to hav th am power with those already mentioned In a cause of heresy, IS. In every promissory oath, 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 th apoatolle see to be Illicit. M, That tnecouncll of Trent, (the last and great authority of Borne), decrees and com mand that the sacred canons and all gen eral councils, also the other apostolic enact ments issued In favor of ecclesiastical per sons of ecclesiastical liberty, and against It violators, allot which by this present decree tt renew, and must be exactly observed by alL Cardinal'!
