Pike, as the Grand Commander of the Mother Supreme Council of the World (Charleston, South Carolina) lost no opportunity in his letters to excite the anti-clerical spirit of his colleagues. In a long letter of 28 December, 1886, for instance, he conjures the Italian Grand Commander, Timoteo Riboli, 33, the intimate friend of Garibaldi, to do all in his power, in order to unite Italian Masonry against the Vatican. He writes:" "The Papacy . . . has been for a thousand years the torturer and curse of Humanity, the most shameless imposture, in its pretence to spiritual power of all ages. With its robes wet and reeking with the blood of half a million of human beings, with the grateful odour of roasted human flesh always in its nostrils, it is exulting over the prospect of renewed dominion. It has sent all over the world its anathemas against Constitutional government and the right of men to freedom of thought and conscience. "SIMILARLY, that doesn't mean scientists are conspiring to destroy the Catholic church. I hope you would agree. "ignoratio elenchi! " once again! You surely are a SLOOOOOOW learner! Whether or not you or I or Bubba are trying to destroy the church is irrelevent to our discussion. Just because you are not eating snails for breakfast does not mean my television set is off.
