one of the greatest books i have ever read on the subject of the corruption of the "church". as a former ordained priest of the catholic religion for over 50yrs, charles chiniquy has all the insight needed to write on the subject. as for this other book this person claims to have been written by "this psychopathic anti-catholic lunatic" lololollol! it doesn't exist! there are many books on the subject, one by a Major general in the union army and a doctor by the name of General Thomas M. Harris titled "Rome's Responsibility for the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln" which was written in 1897. another book by Burke McCarty written in 1922 titled "The Suppressed Truth about the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln". the only other book i'm aware of by former Catholic Priest Charles Chiniquy is another great little book titled "The Priest, the Woman, and the Confessional". it is a very informative book and includes many quotes from Catholic church "fathers" in the original old latin of instructions of how to extract a "full" confession from women who are naturally reluctant to divulge intimate details. it's unfortunate that those who write about some of the less than "glorious" histories of the "church" are lambasted and demonised by others in the "church". I put Charles Chiniquy's books on the same plane as title's such as Hitler's Pope, and Constantine's Sword. also written by catholics. i would hope that others would actually READ this book from cover to cover before judging it and it's author as "psychopathic", "anti-catholic" and "lunatic"!

Don't miss "The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln Planned and Executed by Jesuit Priests," also by this psychopathic anti-Catholic lunatic. It's just as reliable as this book.
