...detecting and convicting and exposing the idolatry of the Roman Church, their tyranny, usurpations, damnable heresies, fatal errors, abominable superstitions, and other crying wickednesses in their high places; and finally, to show that the Church of Rome is that mystical Babylon, that woman of sin, that apostate church spoken of in the New Testament...
...which was inconsistent neither with the times nor the experiences of 20th century Americans of all faiths living in an age of rapid social change. The election of John F.

The supporting cast is amateurish, and the identity of the murder culprit in the opening episode can be guessed after the first scene. It does not take much longer than that to deduce the ultimate fate of Paris...
