Show A contributor to the St. Louis Review give? us the following information regarding re-garding the recent expulsion from his see and country, to which, however, he has since been allowed to return, of the Bishop of Nicaragua: "The (Masonic) legislature of Nicaragua lately decreed the expropriation of all Church property prop-erty for the benefit of the national treasury. The Right. Rt v. Simeon Pe-reira, Pe-reira, Bishop of Nicaragua, protested against thia injustice, showing try the law of God and man the Church in Nicaragua was the lawful possessor of the -property. Instead of listening to his arguments, the Masonic governor, with the applause of his 'brethren,' decreed de-creed the expulsion of the courageous Bishop, who is now an exile in San Jose de Costa Rica. Why do not our liberty-loving liberty-loving journals raise a protest? Why are thev silent on the outrages committed com-mitted in Ecuador and other places by the Masons?" ' ' |
