The Dragon Voice.

By C. W. S.

[THE following items collected by the American Protestant show what the Church of Rome would like to do. C. W. S.]

No Bible shall be held or read except by priests. No Bible shall be sold without a license, except upon the pains and penalties of that mortal sin that is neither to be forgiven in this world or the next.—Council of Trent.

To give the Bible to the laity is to cast pearls before swine.—Cardinal Hosius.

Accursed be those very crafty and deceitful societies called Bible societies, which thrust the Bible into the hands of inexperienced youth.—Pope Pius IX.

If the Catholics ever gain—which they surely will do, though at a distant day—an immense numerical superiority, religious freedom is at an end.—Archbishop of St. Louis.

There is, ere long, to be a state religion in this country, and that state religion is to be Roman Catholic.—Priest Hecker.

Protestantism, of every form, has not, and never can have, any right where Catholicism is triumphant—Catholic Review.

We hate Protestantism; we detest it with our whole heart and soul.—Catholic Visitor.
