THE CATHOLIC MASSACRE OF
PROTESTANTS IN FLORIDA.
Dear Sir: Tn February, Bishop
Curley, of St. Augustine, gave a lec
ture in Jacksonville, which was pub
lished and lauded’ in the daily pa
pers ol Jacksonville. Curley spoke
of the great patriotism of Roman
Catholics. I expected to see you
make some comment of his lecture,
in The Jeffersonian. But I think
you must never have read the lec
ture. I am going to enclose it to
you, for I think you could make a
fine reply.
Bishop Curley lives in St. Augus
tine, the oldest city in the United
States, and named by Menandez, the
man sent by tne King of Spain to
kill and behead all Protestants; the
man that murdered Riboutts’ men,
not as Frenchmen, but as Luther
ans, letting none escape but those
that professed to be Catholics. This
butchery was done within twelve
miles of St. Augustine, at Matanzas,
THE JEFFERSONIAN
and all in the name of Roman
Catholicism.
