Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Roman Catholic Canard: A Fabricated Account of a Scene at the Deathbed of Thomas Paine, Did Bishop Fenwick Write It? Now there were two classes of men that Paine hated above all others, namely, Scotch tories and Catholic priests. But the writer of this letter tells us unequivocally and repeatedly that Paine sent a poor shaking Catholic Quakeress to invite a Romish priest to visit him, and that she accordingly went and summoned a young Jesuit father who had just become pastor of the only Catholic church in New York. Credat Jesuiticus cum pelle caudoe! Arriving at the house where Paine lodged, the two priests were met at the door by a "decent-looking, elderly woman," who inquired if they were the Catholic priests. "For," said she, "Mr. Paine has been so much annoyed of late by ministers of other denominations calling on him that he has left express orders with me to admit no one to-day except the clergymen of the Catholic church." Poor pestered Paine! Parsons Milledollar and Cunningham had been there, and the latter had said to him, "You have now a full view of death; you cannot live long, and whosoever does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ will assuredly be damned." And to this pious and polite address Paine had replied: "Let me have none of your popish stuff. Get away with you. Good morning, good morning." And when Mr. Milledollar attempted to address him he was interrupted with the same language. And when they were gone Paine said to Mrs. Heddon, an elderly woman employed to wait on him, "Don´t let´em come here again; they trouble me" (Sherwin´s Paine, 220). Other clergymen had spoken to him in a similar manner, and were similarly repelled. But after all this we are told that Paine sent for a Jesuit and gave orders to his pious Protestant attendant to let in none that day but Catholics! Credat holy friar!
