This just might be the funniest thing I've ever read, this is funnier than the anti-Catholic comic books:

The book further records that Lincoln’s murder was planned in the home of Mrs. Surratt, a Roman Catholic. Booth, the murderer, was a Roman Catholic. Mr. Lloyd, who had the carbine that Booth wanted for "protection," was a Roman Catholic. Dr. Mudd, who set Booth’s fractured leg, was a Roman Catholic. Garrett, in whose barn Booth tried to hide, was a Roman Catholic. The death of Lincoln was announced by Roman Catholics several hours before it occurred at St. Joseph, Minnesota, forty miles from a railroad and eighty miles from the nearest telegraph station. This fact is established in history.

After being apprehended, Booth said, "I can never repent. God made me the instrument of his punishment."

Prominent government officials said, "We have not the least doubt but that the Jesuits were at the bottom of the great iniquity." Mr. Chiniquy, Colonel Edwin A. Sherman and General Harris, friends of Lincoln, investigated the matter and unequivocally affirmed that Rome was the instigator of Lincoln’s assassination.

The "quotes" can be found NOWHERE except this excretion and the dying words of John Wilkes Booth (though some say he actually escaped) are well known; he said, "tell my mother I died for my country" and "Useless, useless" as he died.

This sentence is particularly telling, "Colonel Edwin A. Sherman and General Harris, friends of Lincoln," what it fails to acknowledge is that Colonel Edwin A. Shermann was born in 1872, seven years after Lincoln's assassination.

Charles Chiniquy was perhaps the best known anti-Catholic in 19th century America. His book is still sold by a well-known comic book author and the comic book author even adapted the book to comic book form.

Tsk, tsk, waggle -- that's the sola scriptura interpretation.
