Letters and Notices No. CXCII (January 1916): 323-326.On the southern end of the Peninsula of Gallipoli, for some weeks now, Mass has been said nearly every day by the small band of Catholic Chaplains.

“The Great Romish Conspiracy”

Last updated on: April 9, 2011 at 6:30 am By Pat McNamara

THE AMERICAN PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.It is not to be wondered at that the ceaseless efforts and steady progress of the great Romish conspiracy to take gradual and ultimate possession of this Republic, and to place it in the unenviable position of a principality of the Pope of Rome, should call into existence, sooner or later, a counter movement to defeat the scheme and stem the alarming progress of this tide of Papal aggression. Inside the last fifteen years this movement began,... Read more

This year marks the hundredth anniversary of Maryknoll, the first American religious order founded for overseas mission work. But until a few years earlier, the United States itself was officially classified as mission territory. For most of the 1800’s, the Church worked on establishing itself here, meaning it had little time or money for overseas work. But there were exceptions. During the early 1800’s, a few priests and religious made their way to Africa and India, but not China. By... Read more
