JEAN DE WAVRIN - SEIGE DE PAMPELUNE

The Jesuits, or the Society of Jesus

Iñigo López de Loyola

- The Italian Wars, saw France fighting against a Habsburg alliance that included the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, and England.
- The Spanish Habsburgs conquered part of the Kingdom of Navarre in 1512, but in 1521 it rebelled with the assistance of the French.
- The French and Navarrese captured the capital city of Navarre, Pamplona, by defeating the Spanish garrison.
- One of the Spanish soldiers they captured was Ignatius of Loyola, who subsequently founded the Society of Jesus, or the Roman Catholic Jesuit order.

Catholic priest

- Ignatius of Loyola who was venerated as Saint Ignatius of Loyola, was a Basque Spaniard Catholic priest and theologian.
- The Jesuits, or the Society of Jesus (Compañía de Jesús), grew out of six student companions gathered by Loyola at the University of Paris in the 1530s.
- The members took holy vows of poverty and chastity and swore to fight the invasion of Islam with all their might, along with unquestioning obedience to the Pope.

Noble home

- He was born Iñigo de Loyola (1491-1556), the 13th child of Spanish nobility.
- His family was very wealthy and he was raised in the Loyola Valley in northern Spain.
- Even today there is a monastery and magnificent chapel dedicated to the Jesuits in his birthplace showing how much they honored Loyola and the wealth of that order.
- Loyola was born in the castle next to the monastery.

Brutish youth

- As a young man he was a brutish sort, police records during that period describe him as violent, vindictive and dangerous.
- He was a proud young man and involved himself in many sins of the day.

Ignatius in armor

- In 1506, after spending his childhood in Case Torre, Ignatius became a page in the court of Juan Velázquez de Cuéllar at Arévalo.
- Arévalo was treasurer general for the Spanish King Ferdinand and Ignatius moved around Spain with him for several years.
- He joined the Spanish military in 1517.

 

Military Influence

Capital of Navarre

- The most important military position was Pamplona, the capital of Navarre that was annexed to Spain in 1521.
- When the town rose up, the Spanish governor wanted to surrender immediately.

Ignatius hangs on

- Ignatius was a Basque soldier and had more than a decade of military experience in the Spanish army and he opposed surrendering.
- He argued that the garrison should attempt to hold out for as long as they could.

 

Cannonballs

- The Spanish retreated to the citadel of the fortress, where a Franco-Navarrese force besieged them.
- Ignatius of Loyola was severely injured on the leg by a Navarrese cannonball at Pamplona on May 20, 1521.
- He wanted to be a great military commander, but now his future plans as a warrior ended.

 

On May 20, after a six-hour bombardment, a cannonball severely wounded Loyola as he patrolled the ramparts. Ricocheting off a thick stone wall, it passed through his legs, badly wounding the left one and shattering the right. Shortly afterward, the defenders surrendered and Pamplona was lost. (Assistant)

Spiritual Conversion

Journey

- Ignatius took extensive time off from the military to recover and during this period he read several spiritual text and meditated.
- He read books about the saints and about Christ and about the miracles they could perform.
- He envisioned Jesus Christ as a great commander, and that he could capture the world for him and he was determined that he would conquer the Muslim world, something that Rome hadn't been able to accomplish.

Alumbrados

- Ignatius had experienced a religious conversion during a period of convalescence from injuries to his foot.
- He wrote about many visions with lights flashing that steered his direction and many scoff at that, but you can go to the dark or you can go to the light, it's a choice.
- Plus, obviously this is an ancient spiritual experience many work long and hard to attain using methods such as drugs and meditation.
- During this period, Ignatius had been under suspicion of at least being in sympathy with the Alumbrados.

The Alumbrados, also called the illuminati, were the practitioners of a mystical form of Christianity. (Wikipedia)

Recovering

- A year of penance was spent at Manresa, located in the central region of Catalonia, Spain.
- He journeyed to Jerusalem on a pilgrimage by way of Venice and Rome, however, the Franciscan monks told him to go home because they didn't want any trouble in the Muslim empire, they had enough.
- Making his way back to the port of Barcelona, Ignatius was able to learn the rudiments of Latin from children along the way.

 

During the extensive recovery, he read numerous devotional works, including Ludolf of Saxony’s Vita Christi and James Voraigne’s Legenda Aurea, resulting in a conversion experience. After returning to health in 1522, he spent a year in penance at a monastery in Montserrat, near Barcelona, where he took instruction and made plenary confession. A year of penance at Manresa followed. (reformation500.csl.edu)

Dormer room

- Following his unsuccessful pilgirmage, Ignatius enrolled at Barcelona to study Latin.
- He moved from there to the little town of Alcalá which is north of Madrid where he studied theology.
- It was here he started to gather groups of men and women around him to study spiritual exercises that he had devised and they would faint and fall aside and scream and pass out.
- Later he went to Salamanca to study liberal arts and philosophy.

Spiritual Exercises

- His most influential work came out of his experiences during his recovery and were called The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius which he finally published in 1548.
- The exercises were a four-week meditation on the life of Christ intended for spiritual formation.
- These were experiences that a master Jesuit would bring novices through to give them the same kind of mind that Ignatius developed in his spiritual awakening.
- For 30 days they were told what to think, how to feel, what to imagine, and they were taught to cut off normal human emotion.

..we should always be ready to accept this principle; 'I will believe that the white that I see is black, if the hierarchical Church so defines it.' (Ignatius of Loyola, Spiritual Exercises)

Mystical occurrences

- Ignatius' charisma, along with his seeming piety, brought him into the spotlight and a personality cult formed around him.
- As he taught his Spiritual Exercises to more and more people, reports of strange, almost mystical occurrences surfaced.
- He was known for his mystic powers for the rest of his life.

People practicing the Exercises experienced fainting; others underwent a type of fleeting paralysis and what in today’s world would be called “holy roller” behaviour: ecstatic rolling on the ground. (Randy Radic)

Illuminati

Persecuted

- By this time, Ignatius came under suspect by the Catholic Inquistion for his association with the 'Illuminist,' an occult intellectual society.
- Feeling persecuted, Ignatius decided it was time to escape the Draconian oppression of the Inquisition.
- He made his way to a place called Solomon where they had a great university, but once again found himself under suspicion of being an Illuminist.
- At the age of 37, he left Spain and sought religious freedom in Paris, where he enrolled at the University of Paris.

College years

- By 1528, Ignatius arrived in Paris to study theology where he took a certification in philosophy about 1533.
- That following year, he was conferred a master of arts on March 14, 1534, and studied theology for a year and a half, though never taking his doctorate.
- He took the Latinized form of his name, Ignatius, during this period of his life, some say due to his association with the Illuminist.

 

Cult member

- It was during this period he gathered six of his fellow students and then brought them under the control of his power of the mind and they became the basis for his society.
- The Society of Jesus was founded in Montmartre, Paris, in 1534 when Ignatius and his companions, who were students at the University of Paris, made their vows.
- Today there is a huge Jesuit chapel there called the Église Saint-Ignace and apparently dedicated to the destruction of democracy and liberty in the world.

More formative than his education at Paris was the circle of six he formed around himself, which included the later missionary to Asia, Francis Xavier. The small coterie took vows on August 15, 1534 with the intent of journeying to Jerusalem for missionary work amongst Muslims. Ignatius, along with several others from the group, was ordained in Venice on June 24, 1537. (reformation500.csl.edu)

Illuminato

- Over the years, the Jesuits were connected to freemasonry.
- In Spain during the 16th and 17th-centuries a mystical movement called the Alumbrados proved disruptive to the church.
- In Italian they were known as the Illuminato, plural Illuminati.

Imprisoned

- The Alumbrados, a Spanish mystic sect, was linked to Ignatius of Loyola and eventually morphed into the Jesuits.
- Due to the growing Catholic Spanish Inquisition, Ignatius was imprisoned at Alcalá and later at Salamanca on suspicions of being an Alumbrados or Illuminati.
- Which is strange in itself considering he was a Catholic, although he was not clergy yet.
- However, he escaped persecution with an admonition and was eventually acquitted.

The Knights Templars secretly propagated occult rites under the authority of the Pope, and that they were suppressed in the 14th century. After this they carried on their work under other names in great secrecy. One such that deserves special attention is the Illuminati, also known as the "Alumbrados" in Spain. (scripture-keywords.tripod.com)

Handshaking

- During this period he made his way to Rome where he was accepted by the Pope.
- Ignatius came to control the future Illuminati, the Alumbrados, before founding the Jesuit order.
- The Illuminati secretly became the most important branch of the Jesuit order.
- The church had fallen out of favor in large parts of Europe because of the Inquistion.

 

Modern day Jesuits also remained inextricably rooted in the occult - and allied to and at the service of the Church of Rome. (scripture-keywords.tripod.com)

Jesuits

New religious order

-  When the Jesuits original project as missionaries to Palestine was blocked by war, they put themselves at the service of Pope Paul III in 1539.
- Gradually they came to see the need for rules and structures if their work and union in serving God were to continue and increase.
- The head honcho of the society would be called the Superior General and he was to be 'obeyed and reverenced at all times as the one who holds the place of Christ our Lord.'
- They formed a religious order, nominated Ignatius of Loyola as their Superior General, and obtained papal approval in 1540.

In 1539, Loyola presented his grand idea to Pope Paul III. Loyola wanted to create a “minimal society.” The purpose of the society was to “do battle in the Lord God’s service under the banner of the Cross.” The members of the society would be sent into the world to do the Pope’s will. In effect, they would be double agents disguised as doctors, lawyers, businessmen, etc. In reality, they would be striving to advance the interests of the Church. (Randy Radic)

 

Superior General

- Ignatius de Loyola, of course, would be the Superior General, equal to the Pope in authority, and the personal representative of Jesus Christ on earth.
- A position of unprecedented power.
- Pope Paul III liked the idea and in doing so, he recognized another equal to himself called the Black Pope.
- Ignatius became the Jesuits first Superior General, in Paris in 1541.

On September 27, 1540, the papal ball Regimini militantis ecclesiae formally recognized the Jesuits and the fledgling order soon named Ignatius its first vicar general, a position he would hold the remainder of his life as he administered the Jesuit affairs from Rome. (reformation500.csl.edu)

 

Structure

- The secret to the organization's power is in its structure.
- One man, the Superior General, stands as all powerful at the head of it and next in line is the Provincial, a man that is all powerful within his area and submitting to the General.
- The Superiors are in control of the Jesuit individuals but at any time they can go around their Superior to the one above him keeping a check and balance situation.
- The local Jesuit is part of an elaborate system of espionage individuals who report directly to Superiors.
- They report on each other too, keeping a balance, and the Superiors report weekly to the Provincial who gives a monthly report to the General who is watched over by two councils.
- It's a pyramid.

Institution

- A book named The Fiery Jesuit, published in 1667, wrote; The aged gerntleman Paul III, who then sat in the infallable chair.
- Forseeing what need the Papacy had of incendiaries, to vex the enemies to its grandeur easily grants the petition of Ignatius and his Decemuirs prostrate at His Holinesse's toe.
- Whereafter sweet kisses in token of their obedience, they receive an institution of their predominant sect.

In these last days God hath spoken to us by his son Ignatius, whom he hath appointed Heir of all things, by also he made the world. (F. Doza, The Firey Jesuits)

Novices

- The order of induction in the Jesuit system begins with those studying to enter the order, the Novices.
- Then the Scholastics, the great teachers, followed by the Temporal ruling over the houses and the schools.
- Coadjutors come next, the agents that carry out the responsibility of aiding in the world.
- Only after they pass through these ranks can they be initiated into the order.
- Very few have made it into the mysteries of the Jesuit order.

My son.. you have been taught to act the dissembler; among the Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man, Among the Reformers, to be a reformer; among the Hugenots to be a Hugenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among the Protestants, generally be a Protestant. And obtaining their confidence to seek even to speak from their own pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our holy religion and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become a Jew among the Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information, for the benefit of your order as a faithful soldier of the Pope. (Jesuit Oath)

 

Full control of church

- The work of the Jesuits was diverse and they were given full control of the Catholic Church and they were free from all law.
- They were given the power to excommunicate all who would hinder or did not aid their society.
- The pope gave the Jesuits the right to disquise themselves and to carry moveable altars, to live exempt from secular power and taxes.
- Law enforcement was not allowed to search or detain them.
- In fact, they were free from all oversight and power.
- A White Pope and a Black Pope, but in truth the Jesuits had never from the very beginning ever obeyed the White Pope when their wills have run counter to each other.

Our father General as all know governs Rome itself and the Popedom; we make war at our pleasure btwixt one Prince and another, between a Prince and his subjects, usurp dominion over cities and countries, fearing no discovery of our actions; since our commerce is chiefly with Great men, we know every public secret, and can in a singular way dispatch hereties and enemies of the Roman court. (Jesuits)

Jesuit door

- In the beginning, the Society of Jesus, in keeping with its 'minimal' description, numbered 60 members, however, before long, the society numbered in the thousands.
- Initially, they focused their efforts on catechesis and corporal works of mercy, such as building hospitals or providing for the poor.

At this time the order of the Jesuits was created the most cruel, unscrupulous and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from earthly ties and human interests, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason and conscience wholly silenced, they know no rule, no tied, but that of their order, and no duty but to extend its power. (The Great Controversy)

Jesuit missionaries

- They also sent many missionaries abroad, including Francis Xavier to India and Japan in 1542, others to the Congo in 1548, and others still to Brazil in 1549.

Paul III issued a papal bull declaring the Society of Jesus “Regimini militantis ecclesiae,” i.e. “the Supremacy of the Church Militant.” In other words, the Church’s Army. (Randy Radic)

Protestant Reformation

Castle Church

- The Protestant Reformation is generally considered to have begun on October 31, 1517, with the posting of Martin Luther's 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church in Germany.
- As a result, this gave birth to Lutheranism.
- This act is seen as the catalyst for the widespread religious and social upheaval that became known as the Reformation.

Henry VIII

- Henry VIII's primary motivation for seeking an annulment from Catherine of Aragon, his first wife, was his need for a male heir to secure the Tudor dynasty, however, the Pope wouldn't grant him an annulment.
- Catherine was the aunt of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and his influence on the Pope was a major obstacle.

English black pope

- Henry responded by declaring himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England, effectively separating the English Church from papal authority.
- This break with Rome, fueled by both political and personal reasons, triggered the English Reformation in 1534, a period of significant religious and political change.
- Amazingly though, Henry remained rather Catholic.

There was no formal inquisition in England under Henry VIII in the way it existed in Spain or other parts of Europe. While Henry VIII did break with the Catholic Church and established the Church of England, his actions were more about consolidating his own power and wealth than about rooting out heresy through a formal inquisitorial process. He used charges of treason and heresy to eliminate opposition, but this was done through acts of Parliament and other legal mechanisms rather than a dedicated inquisition. (Assistant)

Jesuit priest

- The Catholic Church was facing the crisis of the Protestant Reformation when the Jesuits were first founded.
- By seeking to break away from Rome, the Protestants encouraged efforts at reform within Catholicism.
- Ignatius of Loyola was opposed to the Protestant movement and Jesuits were instrumental in leading the Counter-Reformation.

 

When appearing as members of their order, they wore a garb of sanctity, but under this blameless exterior, the most criminal and deadly purposes were often concealed. It was the fundamental principle of the order that the end justifies the means. By this code, lying, theft, purgury, assassination, were not only pardonable but commendable, when they served the interest of the church. (The Great Controversy)

Protestant

- Prior to 1529, the word 'Protestant' didn’t exist, it was invented in 1529.
- The word was used to describe the German states that objected to the Edict of Worms, which chained the people, cities, and states of the Holy Roman Empire to the Roman Catholic Church.
- In an attempt to find some sort of middle ground, the Protestants created the Augsburg Confession, which espoused Lutheran doctrine rather than Catholic doctrine.
- Everyone took one side or the other, resulting in an impasse.
- The Protestants wouldn’t give an inch, and the Church certainly wasn’t going to bargain with what they called heretics.

 

The Edict of Worms was a decree issued by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V on May 25, 1521, declaring Martin Luther a heretic and an outlaw. This followed Luther's appearance at the Diet of Worms, where he refused to recant his writings. The Edict banned Luther's writings, prohibited their publication, and allowed for his capture. While never fully enforced, it marked a significant moment in the Protestant Reformation. (Assistant)

 

Bars installed

- The impasse lasted for 15 years, until in 1545 when Pope Paul III decided to convene a meeting in Trent in an attempt to smooth things over.
- After four months of negotiating, the Council of Trent concluded that the writings, teachings, and doctrines of Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, and LeFevre were 'altogether forbidden, allowed to no one, since little advantage, but much danger, generally arises from reading them.'
- The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) was in attendance, of course.

The Council of Trent clarified Catholic doctrine, the popes largely turned from political power games and art patronage to religious revival, new religious orders sprung up—Capuchins, Ursulines, and Oratorians, besides the Jesuits. (marquette.edu)

Counter Reformation

Active opposition

- By 1550, Ignatius saw the primary objective of the Jesuit order as active opposition of the Protestant Reformation and directed his attention to that end.
- Some 11 years before the Council of Trent, Ignatius Loyola founded the secretive order.

You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between states that were at peace, and incite them to deeds of blood involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in communities, provinces and countries that were independent and prosperous cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessing of peace. (Jesuit Oath)

The spin

- The Jesuits role at the Council of Trent was passive-aggressive and their typical demeanor is to appear humble and pious, while simultaneously befriending members of the opposition.
- During this time, Ignatius of Loyola established the Germanicum, an exclusive college in Rome for German-speaking Jesuits.
- Carefully selected priests received training in clever persuasive techniques such as psychological propaganda and manipulation.

Once they wormed their way into the opposition’s confidence, they were to persuade and influence them by means of flattery, cajoling, manipulation, and subterfuge, which included bribes, lots of wine, and beautiful young women. (Randy Radic)

The trickster

- The council finally came to an agreement through the Augsburg Confession, that each ruler of a state could choose it's own religion and not have Roman Catholicism forced on them.
- But they were sneaky and what really happened is the German-speaking Jesuits didn’t have to persuade the entire populace to Catholicism, just the rulers, and it worked.

 

Most of the Austrian and German rulers chose the Church. In fact, it worked so well that when the Council finally ended, the Protestants did not receive a single concession. Moreover, not only were there no concessions, but anyone who chose to remain Protestant was officially declared “eternally damned” by the Roman Catholic Church. (Randy Radic)

 

Rapture

- In the Council of Trent, spawned a Jesuit priest named Francisco Ribera who came up with the concept of 'Rapture' and somehow sold to Protestants.
- Cardinal Robert Bellarmine of Rome, also agreed with Ribera, both began a counter interpretation pushing all Bible prophecies in the books of Daniel and Revelation way off into the future.
- This interpretation was later referred to as 'prophetic futurism.'
- Prior to 1830, no church taught the Rapture in their creed, catechism, or statement of faith.

In 1590, just five years after Trent, Ribera published a commentary on the book of Revelation as a counterinterpretation to the prevailing view among Protestants, which identified the Papacy with the Antichrist. (lmn.org)

Darby

- Jesus never taught such an idea as Rapture and neither did Martin Luther, Tyndall or Wycliff, who were early Protestants.
- Up to this point, Rome’s main method of attack had been the burning of Bibles and of heretics, however, now they were going to try a new approach by spreading false ideas through a theological attack.
- Gradually, modified versions of this Jesuit-inspired prophetic futurism were introduced into the Protestant world by a man named John Nelson Darby, an Anglo-Irish Bible teacher.
- He was the first Protestant to bite the hook of this Catholic Counter-Reformation teaching.

The great and famous evangelical Charles Spurgeon rejected Darby’s “new theology” and convinced the American evangelical world of his day that it was heresy. (lmn.org)

Scofield blast off

- One of the most important figures in this whole drama is Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, a Kansas lawyer who was greatly influenced by the writings of Darby.
- In 1909 Scofield published the first edition of his famous Scofield Reference Bible which adopted this new theology in his study guides and footnotes found in that Bible.
- This was the big dupe to the evangelical world in accepting this new theology called the Rapture.
- Darby has had a profound impact on religion today, since Darby’s 'secret rapture,' false doctrine has infected most conservative evangelical churches.

Years later, in the 1990s, the Left Behind movie series became a big hit among evangelical Christians. (lmn.org)

 

Confessions and Indulgences

Church and the law

- As their influence grew, they became the most popular church for the sacrament of confession because the Jesuits were so lax and promised everyone peace and because of that, all the royals loved them.
- Which was not a bad thing as far as peace and forgiveness goes, but they were basically selling the service, as indulgence, and this is what Martin Luther detested the most.
- Well then, they also were privvy to all the state secrets and they broke their secrecy vows often and took the secrets to the head of their order.

You have been taught your duties as a spy, to gather all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source; to ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and heretics of every class and character as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities, in Parliament and legislatures, and in the judiciaries and councils of states, and to 'be all things to all men' for the Pope's sake whose servants we are unto death. (Jesuit Oath)

Wealth

- By knowing all the secrets from the confessions, they were able to manipulate and control the emperors and rulers of the world.
- Henry IV had them in his kingdom and the French Louis XIV surrounded his court with Jesuits and used them as confessors and to run the government.
- You would have thought one of these 'kings' would have figured this out, they were doing devious things, yet felt the need to confess to a rat.
- As a result, the Jesuits got used to the wealth of the world and they lived in luxurious palaces and built gold-gilded churches.

Because of this sacramental aspect, the Jesuits were privy to crucial information. The information thus gleaned enabled the Jesuits to exert a powerful influence on political and economic policies. Absolution required the sinner to expiate the sin. And the Jesuits suggested appropriate courses of action that aligned with the Jesuits’ agenda. (Randy Radic)

 

Taboo practices

- Additionally, Jesus taught us not to follow the 10 commandments, the law, but to follow his Greatest Commandment.
- However, in order to follow the Greatest Commandment, you must not sin.
- But we see the Roman Catholic Church is following the Old Testament, not the New Testament.

Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:36-40)

War machine throws stones

- The Jesuits became one of the wealthiest societies in the world and through their influence in France, one of the most horrible massacres in the world took place publicly.
- They were, in a sense, the military arm of the church.
- The church appeared to be finally uniting with the Protestants and secretly in 1572, they planned the slaughter of 25,000 Huguenots in Paris, and 65,000 throughout France.
- Because of this, the governments recognized the danger of the Jesuit order and they were kicked out of Portugal and removed from Spain because they recognized the wars and troubles were caused by them.

Huguenots were French Protestants who adhered to Calvinism and faced severe persecution in France, leading to their emigration to other countries in the 16th and 17th centuries. They were known for their emphasis on individual faith, the right to interpret scripture, and their adherence to John Calvin's teachings. The term "Huguenot" may have originated from a Swiss political leader, and it became widely used by the mid-16th century. (Assistant)

Prison

- The Jesuits have a dark history of intrigue and sedition and that’s why they were expelled from Portugal (1759), France (1764), Spain (1767), Naples (1767), and Russia (1820).
- They themselves began to suffer from their own Inquisition, many were captured and they were thrown in prison.
- Some were placed on ships without toilets and forced to stay there until they died.

 

We imbue unto Him spiritual forces which he would find very difficult to eliminate later. These forces can come up again to the surface, some times after years of not even mentioning them, and become so imperative that the will finds itself unable to oppose any obstacle, and has to follow their irresistible impulse. (Les Jesuits, describing what is possession)

Jesuit Oath

- You must serve the proper time as the instrument and executioner as directed by your superiors; for none can command here who has not consecrated his labors with the blood of the heretic; for 'without the shedding of blood no man can be saved.'
- Therefore, to fit yourself for your work and make your own salvation sure, you will, in addition to your former oath of obedience to your order and allegience to the Pope, repeat after me;
- I promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war secretly or openly, against all heretics. Protestants and liberals as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; that I will spare neither age, sex or condition, and that I will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants heads against the walls in order to annihilate forever their execreditable race.

That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private. (Jesuit Oath)

 

Inquistion mob leader

- Because of the Peace of Augsburg and the outcome of the Council of Trent, the Roman Inquisition proceeded with zeal.
- Most of the Protestants, who were not captured, tortured, and killed in the name of God and the Church, went underground.
- The Jesuit army of possessed men dedicated to the destruction of all governments and religions proceeded on.
 

 

The Christians formed or joined secret societies, like the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, and the Teutonic Knights, which, unbeknownst to them, were de facto puppets of the Black Pope. (Randy Radic)

Early Christian

- The early Christians who wanted to stay pure and faithful to their apostolic faith removed themselves into the mountains and the remote areas of Europe but they were eventually hunted down.
- These people tried to have religious freedom, they worshiped in groves, trees and even caves.
- Even there the armies of Rome found them and the church was now the destroyer.
- In the end, over 68 million Christians were persecuted in Europe and died at the hands of the church.

Power of Rome

- When they first heard of a great reformation that was taking place in Germany and Switzerland, they joined with Martin Luther.
- As a result, a tremendous movement took place against the power of Rome.

Control of Education

Jesuit schoolhouse

- The Jesuits established new directions for Catholic education, missions, catechesis, and spiritual formation.
- Peter Faber and Peter Canisius were both influential figures in the early Society of Jesus, with Faber being one of the order's founders and Canisius becoming a prominent leader and writer.
- They were the first missionaries sent in to form an educational system in Germany to counter the reformation.
- Jesuits became the controllers of the mind of children and they became the great moral theologians and fought the Protestant concept of predestination.

Predestination is the theological doctrine that all events have been willed by God, especially regarding the ultimate fate of the individual soul. It's often discussed in the context of free will, and whether God's foreknowledge is compatible with human choice. Different interpretations exist within various religions and philosophical frameworks. (Assistant)

Jesuit degree

- In 1548, ten members of the recently founded Society of Jesus opened the first Jesuit school in Messina in Sicily.
- They established colleges throughout Europe and in 1548, Ignatius would oversee the birth of 37 colleges in Italy and Spain alone.
- About 200 years later in 1749, the number of Jesuit schools included 669 colleges, 61 specialized study centers, 24 universities, and 176 seminaries.
- Today the Jesuits educate about 2 million students, from a variety of religious, cultural, social and language backgrounds in 5 continents and 80 countries.

 

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6)

Jesuit college

- The Jesuits became the controllers of history and the record of our history has been rewritten by the Roman Catholic Church while the Jews were 'retranslating' the Bible in the background.
- Everytime the Jesuits wanted to influence another area of the world they would set up schools or colleges.
- One of these was the Pontifical Gregorian University which was founded in Rome in 1551 by Ignatius of Loyola for the purpose of subversion of the world.
- Everywhere they went they set up magnificent schools and houses which gives some indication of their tremendous wealth.

Jesuit missionaries

- The Jesuit missionaries entered into the primitive and poor areas of the world and they gathered many into the Catholic Church.
- They also took over many other Catholic orders and they took control of the Inquistions away from the Dominicans and turned it into a terrible power that wiped out millions.
- It was Ignatius of Loyola himself, who procured the Inquisition in Portugal.

 

Secular persons of both sexes joined to the company by a resignation of themselves absolutely to the conduct of the professed fathers. These usually are gentlemen and merchants, who inmix themselves in court and city business, and into offices, bargains and sales; or active gentlewomen and rich widows, who like a plantation in the Indies bring into the society a vault of revenue of gold and silver. (The Firey Jesuits, 1667)

Gold gilded

- We see in Spain the great power of the Roman Catholic Church and it was there that the Inquisition began and eventually expanded throughout Europe.
- As the church became corrupted, the early Protestants separated and these were groups such as the Cathars and Waldensians.
- By the time the Inquisition was over, there were only a few thousand Waldenians remaining and they made their way over the Alps to safety in Geneva, Switzerland.
- The Albigensians were totally eliminated.

There was no crime too great for them to commit, no deception too base for them to practice, no disguise too difficult for them to assume. Vowed to perpetual poverty and humility, it was their studied aim to secure wealth and power, to be developed to the overthrow of protestantism and the re-establishment of the papal supremacy. (The Great Controversy)

Spanish in Pamplona

- Ignatius de Loyola died in 1556, then was later beatified in 1609 and canonized as a saint in 1622 by the Roman Catholic Church.
- Not until after his death in 1556, was Spain able to reverse its setback in Pamplona.
- They recaptured the southern part of Navarre that year, with the kingdom north of the Pyrenees only enduring as a French client state.

Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge. (Isaiah 5:13)

 

Astrological wheel

- At the heart of the Jesuit order was occult teaching and they hid all the ancient mysteries dealing with astrology.
- Chaldean astrology and the Jesuits have a complex historical relationship, marked by periods of both condemnation and engagement.
- However, the Bible itself is an occult book based on astrology, genetics and metaphysics, and it was never really about 'God' and religion.

Chaldean astrology, rooted in ancient Mesopotamia, is a system of divination that uses planetary positions and numerology to understand and predict life events. It's known for its emphasis on the Chaldean order, a hierarchy of planetary influences based on their orbital speed, and its use of numerology to interpret birth charts and predict the future. (Assistant)

 

Magi

- But the worst thing is you've been lied to about many aspects of the occult, which means hidden, and there are many examples of things you've been told are off limits because they're divination that are in the Bible, such as the Magi and the witch of Endor.
- In fact, Jesus was known as a magician and the story of the Magi is about Daniel the prophet, a gentile, who knew that the Messiah would be born and traveled to Bethlehem following the stars.
- This was something all the Magi's and prophets knew for thousands of years and the Messiah had come before and will come again and that has been known.

Vatican Observatory

- The problem with astrology is predicting the future, but there is nothng wrong with using it to determine your strengths and weaknesses and ways to improve or avoid aspects in your chart.
- All of us reincarnate through the different zodiac signs and they all have different talents.
- The Vatican Observatory has a research group, located at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, and it is staffed by Jesuit priests who are also astronomers.
- It would be nice to know what the Vatican is looking for in their observatory.

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. (Ephesians 5:11)

German Freemasonry

Adam Weishaupt

- Meanwhile, undercover Jesuit Adam Weishaupt, a Jesuit Professor, infiltrated German Freemasonry with a secret society placed within the secret society called the Illuminati.
- Weishaupt's planned to use a facade of Christianity to attract influential well-intentioned Christians into his ranks.
- He was born and raised in Ingolstadt in Bavaria, where he studied law and he graduated from the College of Jesuits and Law School of the University of Ingolstadt which had been a Jesuit center and institution for many years.
- Soon after, he attained the rank of Professor of Canon Law in 1772.

 

He concealed the precious meaning and consequences of his doctrines; but fully disclosed them to a chosen few. (John Robinson, 1798)

World order

- Weishaupt wanted to see the Jesuit order come back into power and in time he published a plan to take the organization and 'give them the world.'
- The Jesuit Order used Weishaupt in 1776 to roll out the Illuminati as a front organization to infiltrate governments.
- This is because during this time the Jesuit order had been abolished in the majority of countries for trying to overthrow Protestant governments.

Clerics in disguise are also believed to have been involved with the infiltration of German Freemasonry circa 1776. Adam Weishaupt, undercover Jesuit, founded a secret society known as the Illuminati which swayed the course of Masonry, to some extent. (ersjdamoo.wordpress.com)

 

Establishment

- Weishaupt had long been scheming the establishment of an Association or Order, which in time, he believed should govern the world.
- The head of the order, according to Weishaupt, was Jesus of Nazareth, the grand master of the Order. 'who appeared at the time the world was in utmost disorder and among a people who for ages had groaned under the yoke of bondage.'

Wheel of life

- Weishaupt taught them the lessons of reason and how to be more effective and he took in the aid of religion, of opinions which were current, and in a very clever manner.
- Combining his secret doctrines with the popular religion and with common customs.
- Jesus Christ did found the original masonic order, the Templars with 72 Sanhedren high priests but they morphed into something very different than the original intent.

In his first fervor and high expectations, he hinted to several ex-Jesuits the probability of their recovering, under a new name, the influence which they formerly possessed and of being again of great service to society, by directing the education of youth of distinction, now emancipated from all civil and religious prejudices. (John Robinson, 1798)

Lamp lit

- By the time Weishaupt came along, freemasonry was a system of communism and universal utopia (that never seemed to happen) and he claimed it would place men in a state of liberty and moral equality.
- That his new system would free them from the obstacles of subordination, rank, and riches, continually thown in our way and that man would be 'free and happy.'
- That all governments and religions would be destroyed.

Pyramid

- It was Weishaupt who who helped design the pyramid symbol we see on our dollar bill, however, it started off as an altarpiece at he University of Ingolstadt.
- This is a new satanic power that rose up in the heart of the Jesuit order now became a power against the word of God to destroy all religions.
- The picture of the eye in the pyramid can be found on many books fomenting the ideas of Weishaupt which caused the French Revolution.

 

The significance of the design is as follows: the pyramid represents the conspiracy for the destruction of the Catholic Church, and establishment of a 'one world' or U.N. dictatorship, the 'secret' of the order; the eye radiating in all directions, is the 'all-spying eye' that symbolizes the terrorist, Gestapo-like terrorist agency that Weishaupt set up under the name of 'Insinuating Brethren,' to guard the secret of the order and to terrorize the populace into acceptace of its rule. (William G. Carr, Pawns in the Game)

French castle

- The French Revolution was the result of a deliberate conspiracy or plot to overthrow the throne, altar and aristocratic society in Europe.
- It was allegedly hatched by a coalition of philosophers, Freemasons and the Order of the Illuminati.
- The conspirators created a system that was inherited by the Jacobins who operated it to its greatest potential,
- Jacobinism was the driving force of the French Revolution and it was founded by Weishaupt.
- The Jesuits had to dispose of the monarchies because they were banned by many of them and some monarchs defended a form of protestant or orthodox dogma they couldn't tolerate.

The Society of the Friends of the Constitution, renamed the Society of the Jacobins, Friends of Freedom and Equality after 1792 and commonly known as the Jacobin Club or simply the Jacobins, was the most influential political club during the French Revolution of 1789. The period of its political ascendancy includes the Reign of Terror, during which well over 10,000 people were put on trial and executed in France, many for "political crimes". (Assistant)

Freemasonry

Illuminated lodge

- Weishaupt used Freemasonic lodges to conduct business meetings, for the newly formed Illuminati organization.
- The Jesuits infiltrated Freemasonry by creating and writing the higher degrees of the order at the College of Clermont.
- In the 18th-century the Jesuits were charged with having an intimate connecton with Freemasonry.
- The invention of thr Degree of Kadosh was attributed to those members of the society who constituted with this college.
- By 1782, Masonry had been infiltrated by the Illuminati.

 

Masonry is a centuries-old fraternal order and secret society that is deeply entrenched in symbolism, secret oaths and secret rituals. Key themes include the universal fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. (Ron Rhodes)

 

Good old boys club

- Some argue that Freemasonry and the original purpose of the Jesuit Order are like 'oil and water.'
- While it cannot be denied that the Jesuits really had no part in construction of pure Freenasonry, there are reasons to believe they took interest in the invention of some of the Degrees and systems which were intended to enhance their own interests.
- They sought to convert its pure philanthorophy and toleration into political intrigue and religious bigotry.

la fable de la Franc-Maconnerie Jesuitique, meaning an invention of false of Jesuitical Freemasonry. For once he is right. Like oil and water, the tolerance of Freemasonry and the intolerance of the 'Society of Jesus' cannot commingle. (Barruel)

 

Working on upgrading Degrees

- For this reason, the Jesuits have been implicated in the invention of those Degrees, which were intended to aid the exiled House of Stuart in its efforts to regain the British throne.
- They believed these special Degrees would secure the restoration in England of the Roman Catholic religion.

Suppression

- The connection between the Freemasons and the Jesuits was exposed with the Jesuit suppression during the years 1773 to 1814 due to pressure from the governments of Europe.
- Over the decades, they were widely known for attempting to overthrow monarchies and other forms of government.
- Because of this, the Catholic Church banned the Jesuit Order, many other countries put a ban on them as well.
- The Pope essentially put them out of existence, however, he was poisoned because of the act.

Lodge pillars in their church

- During that time the Jesuits were suppressed, they apparently used Masonic lodges as well as Knights of Malta lodges to meet, which allowed them to continue operating as an underground network.
- Essentially, they had to secularize themselves in order to survive, except in Russia, they continued to operate unabated there and controlled the government.
- After Napoleon forced the Pope to revive the Jesuits, they no longer needed to operate underground.
- There is no doubt that the Jesuits share history with Freemasonry.

The history of the world revolution is bound up in the history of a philosophy, or rather, a disease, known as Illuminism. (Gerald B. Winrod)

Freemason trickery

- There is a blood line curse that comes from Freemasonry that is passed down from any family members who were part of the order.
- This blood line curse of Freemasonry entered the blood lines of almost all Christians (at least 99.99%) due to the wide-spread participation of our ancestors in this demonic brotherhood and cult in worship of Satan.

Italian revolutionary

- The French Revolution was credited as part of the origin of the communist movement and they have this in museum displays.
- Giuseppe Mazzini was an Italian politician, journalist, and activist for the unification of Italy (Risorgimento) and spearhead of the Italian revolutionary movement.
- Mazzini became a leader in the world revolution and he revealed in a letter before he died that there was one secret order that was unseen, and secret even to the veterans of the secret societies.

Mason

- Mazzini was replaced by Albert Pike who was a commander in the southern armies and had settled in Arkansas and became one of the most renowned authorities on pagan idolatry.
- Pike became the leader of the Illuminati on July 14, 1889, and head of the Luciferian Priesthood in his day.
- It was written that, 'The religion should be, by all us initiates of his degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.'
- They believed that Lucifer is God, and that Adonai is also God, for the absolute can exist only as two Gods.
- Which is saying that God is both good and evil.

Turmoil

- Pike went on to say the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true, and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, God of Light, and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonai, the God of Darkness and Evil.'
- He wanted to release the nihilist and the atheist to provoke a social cataclysm, 'which in all its horror that will show all nations the horror of absolute atheism, origin of savagery, and of most bloody turmoil.'
- Pike believed that after this occurred the Christians would be disillusioned and come running over to 'receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer.'
- The final goal was to exterminate both atheism and Christianity.

War

A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama, Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are biding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect. (E. G. White)

Aleister Crowley

- Aleister Crowley was a 33rd degree Mason and he was a member of  the Kabalistic organization of the Golden Dawn in London.
- His law was 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.'
- This has spread among the masses today, it's the mind of Satan.
- He hated the Catholics and created his own mass to mock the Catholic mass, which was useful to the Jesuits.

Aleister Crowley was not Jesuit; he was a British occultist and the founder of the religion Thelema, known for practices like sex magic and his dictum "Do what thou wilt". He held strong anti-Catholic views, creating The Gnostic Mass to parody the Catholic Mass and promote his own Gnostic beliefs. (Assistant)

Revolution again

- It was not the Jews who spread the Zionist movement, it was the interests of the Jesuits and they financed Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) to start the revolution.
- As the founder and leader of the Bolsheviks, Lenin led the October Revolution, which established the world's first socialist state.
- His government won the Russian Civil War and created a one-party state under the Communist Party.
- Ideologically a Marxist, his developments to the ideology are called Leninism.
- It was Jesuits who claimed to be, 'the Jew among the Jews' and it was their writing that fomented the communist manifesto.
- The Catholics were hoping to conquer the Eastern Orthodox Church and this revolution still continues today.

A Zionist is a person who supports Zionism, a nationalist and ideological movement for the establishment and preservation of a Jewish homeland and state in Palestine/Israel. Rooted in the belief that Jews constitute one nation and that the concentration of Jews in Palestine/Israel is the solution to anti-Semitism, the movement was founded by Theodor Herzl in the late 19th century. (Assistant)

Civil War

Revolution again

- In January 1862, it was shown that the administration prior to Abraham Lincoln's administration had planned and managed for the South to rob the North of their implements of war and they were contemplating a determined rebellion.
- Father Chiniqay had hired Lincoln to be his lawyer to protect him from a lawsuit from the Catholic Church and Lincoln won the case.
- Chinigay wrote to Lincoln and expressed fear that he had caused the Jesuits to pursue Lincoln and he mentioned there were 10 or 12 of them at the hearing.

The North did not understand the bitter, dreadful hatred of the South toward them, and were unprepared for the deep-laid plots. (E. G. White)

 

Pen in hand

- Chiniqay wrote to Lincoln; 'Nothing can be compared to the expression of their rage against you when you not only wrenched me from their cruel hands, but you were making the walls of the courthouse tremble with the eloquent denunciation of their infamy, diabolical malice, and total want of Christian human principle in the plot they had formed for my destruction.'
- He claimed he was very troubled because, 'I have read your sentence of death in their fish eyes.'
- This would have to be the Knights of the Golden Circle who were involved in the Civil War plot to take over the southern states, northern South America, and make Havana, Cuba, their capital and turn the entire area into a massive slave state.

Abe's words

- Lincoln wrote back to Father Chiniqay and thanked him for the warning about dangers to his life from Rome and that he knew they were not imaginary.
- He expressed that if he were fighting against a Protestant South as a nation, there would be no danger of assassination.
- Because the nations that read the Bible fight bravely on the battlefield, but they do not assassinate their enemies.
- The Pope and the Jesuits with their infernal Inquistions, are the only organized powers in the world which have recourse to the dagger of the assassin to murder those whom they cannot convince with their arguments or conquer with the sword.

Stage is set

- Abe felt more and more every day that it was not Americans of the south he was fighting, but that it was more against the Pope of Rome and his Jesuits, who he considered bloodthirsty and blind and against the real American Protestants.
- 'Those antisocial laws today are written on her banners with blood of 10 million martyrs and it is under those bloody banners that 6,000 Roman Catholic priests, Jesuits and bishops in the United States are marching to the conquest of this republic, backed by their 7 millions of blind and obedient slaves.'

Rebellion

- Lincoln believed, 'Those laws, which are still the ruling laws, were the main cause of the last rebellion of the southern states.'
- Without Romanism, the last awful civil war would have been impossible and Jeff Davis would never have dared to attack the North had he not had assurance from the Pope that he would have help from the whole of the people of the Church of Rome.
- It was a long letter and Lincoln used strong words, 'I cannot give liberty of conscience to the Pope and to his followers, the Papists, so long as they tell me, through all their council, theologians and canon laws, that their conscience orders them to burn my wife, strangle my children, and cut my throat when they find their opportunity.'

Stage curtains

- Lincoln disagreed that anyone should honor a Pope who thinks he has the right to put to death those who differ from him in religion.
- He noted that these diaboical antisocial laws of Rome caused the Roman Catholic guard to be the man chosen to fire the first gun at Fort Sumter.
- If it is not an absolute absurdity, said Lincoln, to give a man a thing which he is sworn to hate, curse and destroy?
- And does not the Church of Rome hate, curse and destroy, liberty of conscience, when she can do it safely?

Noisy wheels

-  Lincoln said, 'This does not seem to be understood by the people today, but sooner or later, the light of common sense will make it clear to everyone that no liberty of conscience can be granted to men who are sworn to obey the Pope, who pretends to have the right to put to death those who differ from him in religion.
- He said the common people see and hear the big noisy wheels of the Southern Confederacy cars, they call them Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Tombes, Beauregard, Simmons, and they honestly think that they are the motive of power, the first cause of our troubles.
- However, the true power is behind the vaulted walls of the Vatican, the colleges, schools of the Jesuits and the confessional boxes of Rome.

 

Lee held views about slavery and abolitionists typical for those of his class and section. A member of the slaveholding aristocracy. (Britannica)

Pope's front row seat

- Father Chiniqay wrote after the assassination that the horrible crime was the work of Popery.
- He spent 20 years researching Lincoln's death and came to the conclusion that he was assassinated by the priests and Jesuits of Rome.
- In the testimonies given in the prosecution of the assassin and trial of John Surratt in 1867, resides the legal and irrefutable proof that the plot of the assassin was plotted, if not started, in the home of Mary Surratt.
- But who were living in that house at the time where the most devout Catholics in the city.
- Even more than that, the Surratt home was the common meeting place of the Roman Catholics and it was a Jesuit conspiracy.

World Wars

Otto's club

- The church planned the destruction of the world and regaining its power through world wars.
- They tried with Otto von Bismarck to get him to fight and Kaiser Wilhelm to engage him in war and in time Rome brought about the reaction of the Serbians against the effort to force them to Catholicism and assassination attempt.
- This led to World War I, the first great war.
- In time, Pope Pius XI brought to power the Italian Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) in his desire to regain some political power.
- In 1929, the treaty was signed and the church was given money and land, but more than that, prestige among the nations.

 

Otto von Bismarck is most famous for his role in German unification. He became a hero to German nationalists, who built monuments honouring him. He served as prime minister of Prussia (1862–73, 1873–90) and was the founder and first chancellor (1871–90) of the German Empire. (Wikipedia)

 

Berlin wall

- It's been shown in the evidence of court records in Germany in the Masonic Lodges there that they were planning on using the German people as the takeoff point for a war.
- Eugenio 'Nuncio' Pacelli, better known as Pope Pius XII (1939-1958), is one of the most controversial personalities of the 20th-century due to his silence on the Holocaust.
- He went from the Vatican to Bavaria and worked secretly with Franz von Papen (1879-1969) to sign the Reichskonkordat in 1933, a concordat with Adolph Hitler (1889-1945) guaranteeing the Catholic Church freedom to operate in Germany in exchange for the Church staying out of politics.
- Hitler was raised to power by Rome and not only did they write his speeches, they wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle) in 1925, an autobiographical and political manifesto by the Nazi Party leader.

During the 1920s Freemasons were harassed alongside Jews by those taken in by the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and blamed for the German surrender of 1918. This culminated with the suppression of Freemasonry by the Nazis in 1935, with many Masons in Germany and occupied countries being executed or sent to concentration camps. Freemasonry returned to Germany after World War Two. A single central body now represents five "regular" Grand Lodges. Liberal, women's, and mixed lodges also exist. (Wikipedia)

 

German mullet

- It was during this period we find that IG Farben, a German chemical and pharmaceutical conglomerate, and the Rockefeller dynasty merged and formed the wealthiest and most powerful cartel in the world.
- And it was through them that Hitler was financed and brought to power and from that point on the Nazi state became the means by which cartel agreements were enforced.
- Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945) was the head of the SS (Schutzstaffel) and his uncle was a Jesuit from oath and induction from the Bavarian court.
- The SS troops were a Jesuit-controlled society and they became the police of the Nazi state.
- Hitler said, 'As for the Jews I am just carrying on with the same policy which the Catholic Church has adopted for 1,500 years.'

Hitler himself stated, 'I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits. Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organization of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organization into my own party. (Jack T. Chick)

 

Iron curtain

- Franz von Papen, a Nazi diplomat was quoted as saying, 'The Third Reich is the first world power which not only acknowledges but also puts into practice the high principles of the papacy.'
- What are these high principles of the papacy, what is the plan this secret Jewish church has for its enemies; you can see it in the faces of the people in the concentration camps.
- Pope Pius XII installed Hitler but in time he saw Hitler's power waning, he was just using him and he diverted his attention elsewhere.
- Meanwhile in Croatia, the head of state Ante Pavelić (1889-1959), the leader of the fascist Ustaše organization and the Independent State of Croatia, surrounded himself with Catholic clergy.

Priest soldier

- By April 1942, Pavelić was to Yugoslavia what Hitler was to Germany.
- There in that state, priests became soldiers and they worked at the most horrible suffering and slaughter and persecution that the world has even seen from the time of the dark ages.
- This happened in 1942 which shows the church is very willing to return to the apostasies of the ancient time.
- Pavelić was responsible for opening up trade with Russia and recognizing a political connection with Rome.
- He also placed the Masonic symbol on our dollar; Novus Ordo Seclorum, a new world.

European body

- According to Manly P. Hall, an expert on Masonic lore, not only were many of the founders of the U.S. government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe, which helped them to establish the U.S. for 'a peculiar and particular purpose known only to the initiated few.'
- Many books have been published that make it clear what took place during the years after the second world war.
- The church joined itself to the U.S. through Cardinal Francis Joseph Spellman (1889-1967) who was an American Catholic prelate who served as Archbishop of New York from 1939 until his death.

The Great Seal was the signature of the exalted body, and the unfinished pyramid on its reverse side is a trestleboard setting forth symbolically the task to the accomplishment of which the U,S. government was dedicated from the day of its inception. (Manly P. Hall)

Russian church

- By this time Russia began figuring out the role the church had in the Russian Revolution and realized that the entire balance of world power could be swayed by being involved in Vatican politics.
- In 1958, Pope John XXIII (1881-1963) came to power in the Vatican and he established a great Vatican council for bringing the governments and chruches of the world into great communist society and he called the council Vatican II.
- The Catholics invited relgious leaders from all over the world to join in their talks but what was happening was an effort to unite the world and paralyze her enemy.
- The church planned to accomplish their goals by supporting any military economic or political force interested in the retention of the status quo, 'so as to crush her contemporary paramount religious or ideological opponent.'

The Catholic Church's offer for reunion to all Christian churches not in communion with her, is a magnified ecclesiastical Trojan Horse, a means to penetrate their citidels and accomplish their capture and final capitulation. Mobilizing all her religious, diplomatic, and politial might to counterattack against such an opponent, in the event of failure to crush it. (Avro Manhatten)

 

Communism

Baptismal font

- Not the Protestants and Catholics will be seen together speaking in tongues in a great revival.
- It was Pope Paul VI (1897-1978) who took over the world in a great movement of Ecumenism.
- He finished the work of the Vatican II by uniting with the Greek Orthodox Church.
- It was the Catholic Church that opened up the doors an invited the communist head of state in and Pope Paul VI became the communist pope, meeting with heads of state such as Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980), a Yugoslav communist revolutionary and politician who served in various positions of national leadership from 1943 until his death in 1980.
- The Pope of the proletariat, mingling among the workers around the world.

The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, commonly known as the Second Vatican Council or Vatican II, was the 21st and most recent ecumenical council of the Catholic Church. The council met each autumn from 1962 to 1965 in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City for sessions of 8 and 12 weeks. (Wikipedia)

 

Southern warrior

- By the 1960s it was written that the Communists were deliberately maneuvering among the Negroes, now called Blacks, to create a situation of racial violence, to such an extent that it can be turned into a civil war.
- They were attempting to undermine the U.S. government and our societal structure so they could take over power.
- The Congressional record in August 1963, recorded that they wanted the Negroes to be the 'shock troops' of the Communist revolution.


 

Southern border

- A book written by a southerner encouraged them to rise up and form their own country in the South and that under communism they would be exalted to a much higher position in society.
- Martin Luther King (1929-1968) attended a class about communism that was hosted in the south and he was photographed.
- A communist being trained to carry on this revolution, King was later photographed at the podium at the Chicago Freedom Festival with several card carrying communists from the conspiracy that took place in Hollywood.

Jay Richard Kennedy, a former manager and agent of Belafonte's, was an informant for the CIA, providing information on Belafonte, the Communist Party, and the Soviet Union. This suggests that Belafonte's activities were of interest to the government due to his activism and associations. Despite these connections and his outspokenness, there's no concrete evidence. (Assistant)

Cobwebs

- In 1973, it appeared the Jesuits weree searching for a new identity, that they were in a state of flux and didn't know what they wanted to do, it showed Jesuit priests dressing as common lay people.
- But still it showed that Jesuits were involved with missionary endeavors all over the world some were in politics, some in Hollywood.

New youthful image

- They even devised an entirely new image of Jesus and he was depicted as a white collar worker and posters were placed in factories of third world countries.
- In other places, he was depicted with overalls or with tools in his hands.
- Richard Nixon's counsel to bomb Cambodia was a Jesuit named Dan Lyons who was an expert on Asiatic affairs.
- He was shown later with Creighton Abrams (1914-1974), a U.S. Army general who commanded military operations in the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1972.
- What secret mechanisms are still being worked out today in politics and religion all over the world.

She has clothed herself in Christlike garments; but she is unchanged. Every principle of the Papacy that existed in past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Her spirit is no less cruel and despotic now than when she crushed out human liberty and slew the Saints of the Most High. It is part of her policy to assume the character which will best accomplish her purpose; but beneath the variable appearance of the chameleon she conceals the invariable venom of the serpent. (The Great Controversy)

Didn't last long

- In 1978, Pope John Paul I (1912-1978) was only in office for 33 days and the reason for this is that was the choice of the communist influence in Rome.
- Rome had become fearful that Moscow would dominate the church and take it over, as a result, Prelates began to move and they worked with the CIA.
- Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński (1901-1981) from Poland was summoned to a secret meeting and they decided to replace John Paul I with Pope John Paul II (1920-2005).
- He was born as Karol Józef Wojtyła and was a trained actor and playright and the perfect man for the job.
- John Paul II was a Marxist, but was an anti-Moscow Marxist and he would be perfect for developing the new brand of 'Lenin' Christianity.

A "Marxist" is someone who supports the theories of Karl Marx, a political and economic ideology that critiques capitalism and advocates for a classless, communist society achieved through historical class struggle. Marxists believe that historical development is driven by class conflict between the bourgeoisie (owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (the working class), predicting that this struggle will lead to a workers' revolution and the eventual establishment of a communist system where the means of production are collectively owned and there are no social classes or governments. (Assistant)

Superstar

- John Paul II was depicted in liberal magazines such as TIME which we know is controlled by the elements involved in world conspiracy, called him a Superstar and 14,000 journalists covered his passage through this country.
- Millions were spent placing this man in a campaign as a 'God' among the nations.
- The Protestants seemed paralyzed while Protestant President James Earl Carter (1924-2024) invited the Pope to perform the mass on the White House lawn.
- He was invited before the UN and it was there he revealed his Marxist beliefs, and the New York Post remarked, 'The Pope, aligned himself in spirit with the demands of the developing nations for restructuring the world economic order.'

During the 62-minute discourse at the General Assembly, the Pope shed, as it were, his clerical garb and displayed his 'humanistic' side. He interposed his carefully chosen words with patently Marxist equalitarian themes. (Plain Truth Magazine)

Taking over

- The Catholic Church is taking over the third world communist countries.
- It is also pretty obvious that the church entices populations in other countries by installing 'their own kind' which can be viewed as a type of bribery you might say, not necessarily the most honest choice.
- It was written, 'The peril of such interpretation is portentous, it puts the Kingdom of God in the near future, just beyond the fast approaching Catholic-Marxism revolution.

Hot air balloon

- The spirit of these biblical Marxist-Leninist oriented quotations has already impregnated the whole fabric of the Latin American church.
- U.S. intelligence denounced Pope John Paul II as the main instigator of the guerilla opposition in South America.
- Primarily against Latin American administration financing and militarily supported by the U.S. with individual Jesuits admitting their involvement in the revolution.
- Father Luis Pellecer, for instance, when testifying in San Salvador in 1981, admitted that he had served in an active guerilla group for almost 15 years and that since 1965 they had been leading a communist revolution in Central America.
- He had started off in Guatemala and had also worked in El Salvador.

 

State halls

- The Catholic Church is the largest church in the U.S. and ecclesiastically, the best organized and financially on par with any of the giant trusts or corporations in America.
- Politically, the church is looming larger at the White House and is a power in Senate, a force at the Pentagon, an invisible agent at the FBI, and the prime mover at the CIA.
- President Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) established full diplomatic relations with the Vatican for the first time in 117 years and the last official Vatican ambassador was in 1867.
- But this was during a period when there was a political revolution taking place in Italy and the Pope was moved out of his political position and there was confusion brought in.
- Except America had not fully forgotten the role of the Roman Catholic Church in the war between the states.

Same old church and state

- What Reagan did was capitulate to the religious forces at a time when religion has been brought into politics and law.
- On secret orders in 1984, Reagan ordered mass dentention facilities, otherwise known as concentration camps to be set up in a number of U.S. military installations.
- This came after the White House issued a highly classified national security decision directive which sets forth secret instructions for the 'activation' and the first roundup was illegal aliens and refugees.

Concentration camps

- Under the secret provisions of 'Rex 84' there will be broad arrests of security suspects who can be held in these centers under this emergency order, whether they're U.S. citizens or not.
- These people would be detained at 22 military bases in concentration camps run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and there was much discussion then about many were politial opponents, resistors and even outspoken critics whom the administration considered dangerous.
- This all occured after Reagan met with the Pope and assured him that the U.S. would become involved in world projects with the Roman Catholic Church.

 

Rex 84B, short for Readiness Exercise 1984 Bravo, was a classified scenario and drill developed by the United States federal government to detain large numbers of United States residents deemed to be "national security threats" in the event that the president declared a National Emergency. The scenario envisioned state defense forces rounding up to 500,000 undocumented Central American residents and 4,000 American citizens whom the US Attorney General had designated as "national security threats" as part of the secret Continuity of Government program.

Hidden initiate

- In Freemasonry lodges, the novice that is to be initiated into the first or apprentice degree is led into the lodge building by a stranger, and introduced into a remote chamber, where he is left alone for a few minutes.
- He is then deprived of all metal he has about him; his right knee, and sometimes his left side, are uncovered, and the heel of his left shoe is trodden down in honor of Loyola's bad foot.  

These ceremonies are supposed by some writers on the craft to be of Jesuitical origin. The deprivation of metals is to typify the vow of poverty, the baring of the breast and knee is intended to prevent the admission of women, and the treading down the heel of the shoe to remind the candidate that Ignatius de Loyola, who had a bad foot, thus began his pilgrimage.

Twin pines

- Even today, there are many societies joined to the Jesuits such as the Knights of Columbus.
- There is a women's side to that as well and they took an oath that's in the Congressional Record of the 62nd Congress in 1913 that said; 'I will place Catholic girls in Protestant families that a weekly report may be made of the inner movements of the Heretics. Then I will provide myself with arms and ammunition that I may be in readiness when the word is passed, or I am commanded to defend the church either as an individual or with a militia of the Pope.'

In testimony hereof, I take this holy and blessed sacrament of the Eucharist and witness the same further with my name written with the point of this dagger dipped in my own blood and sealed in the face of this holy sacrament. I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons, as I am directed to do, to exterpate them from the face of the earth, and that I will spare neither age, sex, nor condition. (Knights of Columbus Oath)

Sadistic Knight

- It gets even worse for the Knights of Columbus, their oath goes on to say; 'Should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow militia of the Pope cut off my hands and feet, cut my throat from ear to ear, may my belly be opened and sulfer burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth and my soul shall be tormented by demons in eternal hell forever.'

 

More voodoo

- In the 1970s Catholic Power Today published a reaffirmation of their core values that said, 'The Catholic Church now has adopted simultaneously with carrying on the old traditional religious organizations, a strategy of gradualness, directed at the smooth identification of her most advanced weapons of penetration.'
- 'Hence the creation of peculiarly suited religious, semi-religious and even lay bodies whose aim is to infiltrate the various strata of our society.'
- 'The last few decades have seen the multiplicataion of such movements of penetration, labeled, secular institutes.'

Their members generally are people who, although laymen, have the same fervor and determination to fight for the Church as have the traditional religious orders. Thus while taking the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, they do not wear special clothes, have ordinary jobs, and mainly live at home. They avoid the spotlight and keep their membership a 'secret,' not only from their offices or factories, their co-workers and friends, but even from their own families. This termite-like secret army is a vast international. The growth of these semi-lay and lay orders, whose members are unrecognizable even to Catholics themselves in these last few decades has been 'phenomenal' particularly in Protestant England and the United States.

Expelled

- The Jesuits became so infamous in Europe for fomenting wars and revolutions, and for assassinating heads of State, that they were expelled from 83 countries, city-states, and cities by 1931, quite often by Roman Catholic monarchs!
- They make us feel like they're searching for a new identity, but they know exactly what they're doing in the great world revolution that's taking place today.

Wine jug

- Today they have control of scientific community, politics, education, and they control the wealth.
- There is nothing they can't accomplish when the word says go, except God is holding back the winds.
- These people can control your mind and heart and Satan will work through the sciences of psychology and mesmerism.
- He will use hypnotism on the masses but our protection is to be possessed entirely by the spirit of Jesus Christ.

Ready to hatch

- This mind of Ignatius of Loyola is the dark vile mind of the dark ages, and yet through the initiation, and the spiritual exercises, that mind from the dark ages of papal supremacy controls the most brilliant minds in the world today.
- The goal of science is to lead the people into the papacy, as superstition and ignorance did in the years before.
- Thousands of Jesuits continue to graduate from their colleges every year, and now the people have no knowledge of what their plans are for the world.

World leader of banana republic

- It doesn't make any difference what face the church presents before the world, it could be claiming to forgive her assassin, it could be claiming to feed the poor, it could be anything.
- But we have seen that the real plan is to paralyze mankind into not seeing the church as dangerous as it plans their destruction.
- Every major destructive movement from the turn of the century and even before, were an effort by this demonic power to regain possession of the entire world.
- If the church could ride again on the nations and control them, it would never again fall and they believe that and in revelations it says, 'I sit a queen.'

The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes. (Disraeli)
