Weigle – “[T]he rare 59-page volume Rev. Darley published himself at Pueblo, Colorado, in 1893 ... Includes various historical, organization, ritual notes and descriptions; documents; diatribes; fanciful illustrations.” Darley’s anti-Catholic work makes a point to sensationalize this order’s use of flagellation and inflicted pain and simulated crucifixions.
