ROME & THE ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN

Chris discusses the ongoing debate about who was really behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in the 19th century.  It has been well documented that at least two Catholic priests (Charles Chiniquy, Emmett McLoughlin) wrote books in which they blamed the murder of Lincoln on the Vatican and her Jesuit priests. But now another work has surfaced that was written by one of the generals who sat on the Military Commission that investigated the crime, and also presided over the trial of the conspirators who were convicted and put to death.  In 1897, General Thomas M. Harris published the book titled, “Rome’s Responsibility for the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln.”
