Principles With the Canon 1 and Several Oaths of the Ro man Catholic Church, ad Tfcea Judge fur Yourself Which Have the Hwe tftrit of Americanism In Them, the A. P. A, Principles or the Diabolical Obligation Taken by Rome's Minlone. JL T. A. Principles, i following are the declaration of prta i adopted by the National Council of MavA. P. A. at DeeMolnea: "loyalty to true American lam, which neither birth, place, race, creed, nor la the fret requirement for member- ana? hi the American Protective Aasociaiiua. re American Protective Association la a a political party, and doe not control aha axkllUcal affiliation of lta members) but tt keachee them to be Intensely active In the leriharge of then- political dutlea In or out af frty lines, because It believe that all niMMema confronting our people will be wad aolld by a conscientious discharge of the dutlea of citizenship byevery Individual. "Wlille tolerant of all creeds. It holds that ahtaetlon and support to any political power net controlled by American clUxena, and wfcleh claims equal If not greater sovereignty the government of the United State, 1 IfMOoncilable with American cltlienshlp. It Is, .therefore, opposed to the holding of office In tat or national government by any sub ject or supporter of such ecclesiastical "We aphold the constitution of the United vtaae of America, and no portion of It more than Its guarantee ct religious liberty, but we Held this religious liberty to be guaran tiee to the individual, and not to mean that mader its protection any un-American eccles iastical power can claim any absolute con trol over the education of children, growing aader the stars and stripes. T?e,conslder the non-sect&risn free public sehool the bulwark of American Institutions, the best place for the education of American anUdren. To keep them such, we protest against the employment of subjects of any sa-Amerlcan ecclesiastical power as officers sr teachers of our public schools. "We condemn the support out of the pub 11a treasury by direct appropriation or by toatract of any sectarian school, reform story or other Institution not owned and eatrolled by public authority. "Believing that exemption from taxation Is equivalent to a grant of public funds, we asaaand that no real or personal property be Stismpt from taxation, the title to which is suS vested In the national or state govern neata, or In any of their sub-divisions. "We protest against the enlistment in the Untied States army, navy, or the militia of earv state, of any person not an actual citizen st the United States. "We demand for the protection of our cltl ssa laborers the prohibition of the importa fctaa of pauper labor, and the restriction of ail Immigration to persons who cannot show etr ability and honest intention to become B-supportlng Amerl :an citizens. "We demand the change of the naturaliza tion law by a repeal of the act authorizing tha naturalization of minors, without a pre vious declaraton of intention, and by pro viding that no alien shall be naturalized or asnaltted to vote In any state in the union who cannot speak the language of the land, ana who cannot prove jeven years consecu tive) residence in this country from the date at kls declaration of his Intention. -we protest against the gross negligence eat laxity with which the judiciary of out laai administer the present naturalization laws, and against the practice of naturalis ing aliens at the expense of committees or aaeUdates as the most prolific source of the gsssuut prostitution of American citizenship la the basest uses. "We demand that all hospitals, asylums, sJatiuatorles, or other instltatlona In which aapto are under restraint, be at all times abject to public inspection, whether they an maintained by the public or b, I private te-rso rations or individuals. "ws demand that all national r state delation affecting financial, coma rclal or WAos trial Interests be general in cl tracter ea4 In no .nstauce In favor of any ose see ks- of the country, or any one class of the Cannon Law. L The constitutions of princes are not sanertor. but subordinate to ecclesiastical eastltutlons. I, The laws of the emperor cannot dis solve the ecclesiastical orcanen laws. t. It 1 not lawful for an emperor to exact anything opposed to the apostolic rules. . It la not lawful for kings to usurp the things that belong to priests. I t. No custom of anyone can thwart the statutes of the popes. a, Let no resistance be offered to the asostotlc (canon) precepts, but let them be salntlferlously fulfilled. T. The yoke Imposed by the holy see Is to be borne, though It appear Intolerable and Insupportable. t. The pontiff can neither be loosed no tound by the secular power. . That the Pontiff was called God by the Ion Prince Constantlne, and that as god he aannot be Judged as man. 10, That as god he Is far above the reach f all human law and Judgment. 11. That all laws contrary to the canons and decrees of the Roman prelates are of no teres. U. That all of the ordinances af the pope are unhesitatingly to be obeyed. IS. We ought not even to apeak to one whom the pope has ex -communicated. 14, Priests are fathers and masters, even at princes. li. The civil law is derived from man, but the ecclesiastical or canon law Is derived irectly from God, by which the pontiff can. In connection with his prelates, make con stitution for the whole christian world, in tatter anlrlt.tiM.1. ivmrernlnir ihn an.lvutir.it f souls, and the right government of the RSurchi and If necessary judge and dispose It all the temporal goods of all christians. M. A heretic, holding or teaching false ioc trine concerning the sacraments, Is ex communicated and degraded, and banded tver to the secular court. IT. Secular princes onwUllr to swear to lefend the church against heretics are ex lammunlcated, and they are laid oaaer an Interdict. Is. The goods of heretics are to be con Iscated and applied to the church. . II. Advocates or notaries, favoring here tics, or their defenders, or pleading for them a law suits, or writing documents for them, fr Inf amous and suspended from office. JO. The secular powers, whether perma ssat or temporary, are bound to sweat that may will exterminate, according to their sews, all heretics condemned by the church tad a temporal lord not purging his lajd af wwttos. Is ex-communlcated. , A Those signed with the cross tor th sx- tsraulaattoa of heretics, rejoice ta the prlvt lece (ranted to to the crusaders fur the kola of th holy land. O. They are absolved from all obligation who are In anywise bo -tad to a ratios. ti. Whoever die In battle against th unbelieving, merits the kingdom of beavea. ti. Ws do not esteem those horn lc lee to whom It may have happened tn their seal for their mother church against th ex-conuau-nlcated, to kill aome of them. tt. That OathoHe Princes are bound, both by civil and common law, not to receive or tolerate heretics and much mors are not to permit their rites, or other exercise of their religion, or rather, their false sect, but are most solemnly bound everywhere, to repel and expel them. Sa. The following temporal punishments are to be enforced on heretics: 1st -1 nf amy. and the consequent disqualification for all civil acts. 2nd Intestability, as well active as passive (that Is, they can neither make aoa will Inherit what la left to them by uuierai. ard Loss of paternal power over children. 4th Los of dowry, and other privilege granted to women. 6th Confisca tion of all good. 6lhTbat vassals and ua.es snd others are free from all, even sworn obligations due to their lord or an other. 7th Capital corporal punish itent, especially death, and perpetual imprison ment. 27. The canon law forbids all toleration. 28. That metropolitans and bishops are to x-oommunloate him who grants liberty of conscience. 29. No oath Is to be kept toward heretic prince, lords or others. JO. Heretics ars to be deprived of all civil and paternal rights. L Th pope can absolve from all oaths. 22. Every bishop is ordinary Judge in a cause of heresy. The reason la because the bishops can ex -officio, and ought to extirpate heretics, and Inflict upon them the due pun ishments, and to this are bound on pain of deposition. Besides, are the Inquisitors es pecially deputed by the apostolic see. Every bishop In his diocese 1 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. S3. In every promissory oath, although absolutely taken, there are certain condi tion t jcltly 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. U. That the council of Trent, (the laat and great authority of Home), decree 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 Its violators, all of which by this present decree It renews, and must be exactly observed by all.
