Charles Chiniquy Quotes

Canada, Priest
July 30, 1809 – January, 16, 1899.

Charles P. Chiniquy was a Canadian Catholic priest who left the Catholic Church and became a Presbyterian minister. He rode the lecture circuit in the United States denouncing the Catholic Church. His themes were that it was pagan, that Catholics worshipped the Virgin Mary, and that its theology was anti-Christian.

Long before I was ordained a priest, I knew that my church was the most implacable enemy of this republic. My professors ... had been unanimous in telling me that the principles and laws of the Church of Rome were absolutely antagonistic to the principles which are the foundation stones of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Charles Chiniquy
