The Sinn Fein Oath

I swear by Almighty God, by all Heaven, by the Holy and Blessed prayer book, of the Roman Catholic Church, by the Holy Virgin Mary Mother of God, by her bitter tears and wailing’s, by St Patrick, our Blessed and adorable Host, the Rosary to fight until we die in the field of red gore of the Saxon tyrants and murderers.

Of our glorious nationality, if spared to fight until not a single trace is left to tell that the Holy soil of Ireland was trodden by these Heretics. Also these Protestant robbers and brutes, these unbelievers of our faith, will be driven into the sea, by fire, the knife or by poison cup until we of the Catholic faith and avowed defenders of the Sinn Fein action and Principles, clear these Heretics from our lands.

Age is not to be considered in our blessed deeds of extermination of Brutes who in ages past have robbed our churches. We must shed streams of blood of these tyrants to again claim our Holy places.

Report to our Blessed priests regularly upon all works and business transactions.

Any cost we must work in secret, using any method of deception to gain our ends, towards the destruction of all Protestants and the advance of the Priesthood and the Catholic faith.

Our Beloved Ireland has been held in chains by these cursed foreign tyrants for ages, now we can see the end of their power.

We must strike at every opportunity using all methods of causing ill felling within the Protestant ranks, and in their business. The employment of any means will be Blessed by our earthly fathers the Priests, thrice Blessed by His Holiness the Pope.

Scotland must also be swept clean of their accursed beliefs by the extermination of all Masonic and all such bodies as do not accept our creed must perish, as before the days of the accursed Reformation.

So shall we of the Roman Catholic Church and faith destroy with smiles and Thanksgiving to our Holy Father all who reject our beliefs. So help me God.

Ancient Order of Hibernians oath

"In the presence of Almighty God, and this my brother, I swear that I will suffer my right hand to be cut off from my body and laid at the gaol door before I waylay, or betray a brother; and I will persevere and not spare from the cradle to the crutch, and from the crutch to the cradle; that I will not hear the moans or groans of infancy or old age, but will wade knee-deep in Orangeman’s blood, and do as King James did.

And I further swear to owe no allegiance to any Protestant or Heretic Sovereign, ruler, Prince, or potentate, and I will not regard any oath delivered to me by them or their subjects, be they judge, magistrate, or else, as binding.

And I swear to aid as best I can any brother or brothers who may be on trail for any act or expression of theirs before judge, magistrate, or else; and to be ready at all times to aid by every means in my power to assist in preserving his or their liberties; and if myself a witness, to disregard such oath as binding.

By virtue of this oath I have taken, I will aid and assist with all my might and strength when called upon to massacre Protestants and cut away heretics, burn British churches, abolish Protestant Kings and Princes, and all others except the Church of Rome and this system.

And by virtue of this oath I have taken, I will think it no sin to kill a Protestant whenever the opportunity serves.
