John Adams on the Acta Sanctorum

 From John Adams writing to Thomas Jefferson about the Jesuit Acta
Sanctorum
 
[an encyclopedic text in 68 folio volumes of documents examining the lives of Christian saints].

"From all that I have read, of the Legends, of the Lives and Writings of the Saints and even of the Fathers, and of Ecclesiastical History in general: I have no doubt that the 
Acta Sanctorum is the most enormous Mass of Lies Frauds, Hypocracy and Imposture, that ever was heaped together upon this globe."
John Adams
Remove out of the midst of Babylon... Jeremiah 50:8
