After having given the communion to three hundred men in the church at Eyries, County Cork, Father Gerald Dennehy said: "Any Catholic who either as policeman or as agent of the government shall assist in applying the draft, shall be excommunicated and cursed by the Roman Catholic Church.

The curse of God will follow him in every land.

You can kill him at sight, God will bless you and it will be the most acceptable sacrifice that you can offer." Referring to any policeman who should attempt to enforce the draft, Father Murphy said at mass in Killenna, "Any policeman who is killed in such attempt will be damned in hell, even if he was in a state of grace that very morning." Ninety-five percent of those Irish policemen were Catholics and had to respect the commands of those priests.
Ireland is England's business, not ours.

But the word "self-determination" appears to hypnotize some Americans.

We must not be hypnotized by this word.
