About this item

The late 1820s and 1830s saw a Protestant religious revival called the Second Great Awakening, which had a strong impact on American religion and reform. Most people in New England were Protestant and were strongly opposed to the Catholic Church and its teachings. In this article the writer declares, “Thus every Papist is enjoined, by the highest authority, to estimate all Protestants as equally odious and sinful as thieves and murderers, whose guilt can be removed only by their death. Look, reader, at these comments on the word of GOD; study their import; and see if the evils of popery with which this country is threatened, are not greater than Protestants imagine.”

The Greenfield Gazette and Franklin Herald was the newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from June 26, 1827, to June 27, 1837. It changed its name to the Gazette & Mercury.
