It is with deepest gratitude we acknowledge God’s merciful interposition in frustrating Rome’s insolent act of blasphemy against God and His Christ. The bloodless sacrifice of the Mass is a direct dishonor to that one all-sufficient offering of the body of Christ once for all upon the cross. “Without shedding of blood is no remission.”
The thousands who on bended knee paid homage to the papal legate forewarn us of what will yet be enforced on pain of death and torture, as in days gone by, when once the woman drunken with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, sits upon and controls the Beast, the resuscitated Roman Empire. A moment’s respite has been given, may we use it earnestly for Christ, and the spread of plain gospel truth.
