When the Protestant Reformation, in 16th century Europe, began to damage the Catholic Church's manipulation of information by translating the Bible and preaching the differences in what the Catholic church had claimed and what the Bible truly said, millions were drawn away from the Catholic church.
As the Church's response to the reformation, it was decided at the Council Of Trent that from 1545 - 1563 a commission of Cardinals would be put in place to 'Clean up the Catholic Church' and to reassert its position of authority as "The only true Church of God".
New religious orders were created to achieve this goal, the most famous of which was the 'The Society Of Jesus', also known as 'The Jesuits'.
The founder of the Jesuit's was a man named Ignatius Loyola who was born into an extremely wealthy family in Spain, 1491.
In his youth he was described on police records as proud, violent, vindictive and dangerous.
His life's ambition was to become a powerful military commander, which went well until he was crippled by a cannonball during a battle, effectively ending his military ambitions.
He was removed from the Battlefield and underwent numerous painful operations and spent a lot of time recovering, during his recovery period Loyola had a nervous breakdown as he struggled to come to terms with the end of his army career.
Within this fragile mental state, as he led, with little to occupy his mind, he developed an interest in fanciful religious texts about the works of the Catholic Saint's, particularly inspired by the life of 'Sir Francis Of Assisi' and set out to emulate his deeds and of those like him, valuing Jesus as a type of great Military Commander and aspiring to become a General in Jesus's army as opposed to his lost Military career.
As a cripple, Loyola made his way across Spain to the Mountains Of Monserat, where he visited a benedicting Monastery.
Within this Monastery, Loyola committed himself to a sacred goddess idol named 'The Black Virgin Of Monserat' which to those familiar with Constantine's work of mixing Pagan and Christian would know that this was originally a statue of worship to the pagan goddess Semi-Ramis of Babylon, renamed as a Catholic Saint.
Loyola stood before this pagan idol in vigil for three days, swearing allegiance to it.
His next goal was to travel to Jerusalem and conquer the Muslim world but his ambitions were short lived as Barcelona was infested with the plague and he was forced to stay in the small town of Manresa for ten months instead.
For these ten months he lived in a cave, torturing himself physically and mentally until he began to have dreams and visions.
Through these hallucinations, he claimed that the secret doctrine of the Catholic Church was taught to him by "A form in the air near him and this form gave him much consolation because it was exceedingly beautiful.. It somehow seemed to have the shape of the Serpant and had many things that shone like eyes, but were not eyes. He received much delight and consolation from gazing upon this object.. But when the object vanished he became disconsolate" - Jesuits, A Multi-biography By Jean Lacouture.
This is actually very alike to Muhammad, the founder of Islam, who encountered a similar being in a cave, and also found himself prone to depression after first contact.
After this Loyola proceeded to Jerusalem, where he approached the Franciscan Monks who asked him to go home as they didn't want any political trouble.
Upon Loyola's return to Spain he started formal training by studying theology at various university's.
Along with a small band of companions, Loyola began making disciples.
Loyola's preaching was said to bother some of his female disciples so much that,
"One fell senseless, another sometimes rolled about on the ground, another had been seen in the grip of convulsions or shuddering and sweating in anguish." - Jesuits, A Multi-biography By Jean Lacouture.
Throughout the rest of his life Loyola was known for having mystic powers and strangely enough was actually sentenced to jail time on two occasions under suspicion of being a member of the Occult "Illuminati" group.
By 1534 Loyola had six key companions, all recruited from the university. These seven, including Ignatius, went on to form the initial military brotherhood of the Society Of Jesus.
Loyola based his new organisation on the principles and disciplines he had picked up in the military, the leader demanded unquestioned obedience from his inferiors and no explanation was warranted on high ranking Jesuit commands.
Loyola took on the role of Superior General in the order and they began their attempts to reverse the reformation's negative effect on the Catholic church and re-establishing the Church's dominance around the world.
They made their way to Rome, where their society was accepted by the Pope, Paul III, who had seen the need for a military order to repel the progress of the reformation.
Pope Paul III gave them the authority to,
Excommunicate all who would hinder or do not aid the society : To confer orders, preach, and administer the sacraments, hear confessions, To absolve heretics as well as imprison and excommunicate, to change their General.
They were given power to exercise all episcopal functions, to confirm, exorcise, dispense etc.
To disguise themselves, carry moveable altars, give plenary indulgences, to live exempt and free from secular powers, taxes as well as jurisdiction.
Authority to sentence and command any other ordinary Delegate, Judge and Magistrate.
In layman's terms, the Jesuits were given authority from the Catholic Church to operate above the law and to employ any needs necessary to achieve their goals.

Roughly translated from old English from,
- Pansebeia. Or a View of All Religions in the World: with the Several Church-governments from the Creation to These Times. Also, a Discovery of All Known Heresies in All Ages and Places: and Choisie Observations & Reflections Throughout the Whole ... by Alexander Ross. To which are Annexed, the Lives, Actions, and Ends of Certain Notorius Hereticks..: 1, Volume 1.
Within the Jesuit order they would perform what they called 'The Spiritual Exercises' that were based on the experiences and secret teachings Loyola recieved in the cave, he basically made a template of what he did in the cave to summon the serpant with the secret knowledge and taught it to his followers, these spiritual exercises formed the foundation of his entire movement, all Jesuits would have to go through them to place them in the same kind of mindframe Loyola had been in after spending ten months in the cave.
This involved,
Systematic Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation, Visualisation and 'Illumination', which is said to have led to a transe-like state of extacy.
The spiritual exercise initiation would take thirty days and initiates were supervised and taught what to think, how to feel, when to groan, when to sigh and what to imagine.
They were told to cut off human emotion and the initiate's mind would be broken by the end of this process and they would be ready to be utterly obedient.
By following these rituals, he and his followers were seen to levitate off the floor.
An observer of the Jesuits wrote: "Not only visions were pre-arranged, but also sights, inhalings; breathing was noted down; the pauses and intervals of silence were written down like a music sheet? which meant that the man, being inspired or not, became a machine who had to sigh, sob, groan, cry, shout or catch his breath at the exact moment and in the order which experience showed to be the most profitable. Using this method, Layola only needed 30 days to break someone's will and reasoning.
"Ignatius understood more clearly than any other leader of men who preceded him that the best way to raise a man to a certain ideal is to become master of his imagination. We "imbue into him spiritual forces which he would find very difficult to eliminate later", forces more lasting than all the best principles and doctrines; these forces can come up again to the surface, sometimes after years of not even mentioning them, and become so imperative that the will finds itself unable to opposee any obstacle, and has to follow their irrestible impulse". - H. Boehmer, Professor at the University of Bonn, Les Jesuites.
Once the initiate is sucessfully programmed/ brainwashed they are ready to move onto further training based upon making them complete puppets at the will of their superiors, their constitution states that the Jesuit must give instant compliance to those above them in the hierarchy, completely sacrificing their own will in the process.
They claim and teach that the leader of the Jesuits is in the place of Jesus Christ and therefore claims the same authority, no command is ever to be questioned.
In Chapter V. of the sixth part of constitutions of Jesuits we find the following,
"no constitution, declaration or any order of living, can involve an obligation to commit sin, mortal or venial unless the superior command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, or in virtue of holy obedience; which shall be done in those cases or persons, wherein it shall be judged that it will greatly conduce the particular good of each, or to the general advantage; and instead of the fear of offence, let the love and desire of all perfection increase, that the greater glory and praise of Christ our creator increase"
Essentially telling the Jesuit that any and all commands can be completed if they are commanded in Jesus's name or if the ends justify's the means.
"I will believe that the white i see is black if the hierarchical church so defines it."
-Ignatius Loyola.
The Jesuit order operates on the complete blind mechanical obedience to those higher up in the hierarchical structure, meaning the entire organisation at the time was at the disposal of the Pope.
The following is the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction given to high ranking Jesuits only. This oath is taken from the book Subterranean Rome by Carlos Didier, translated from the French, and published in New York in 1843.
"My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler: among 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 Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a Protestant, and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their 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 Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.
You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, 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 countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace. To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means.
You have been taught your duty 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 parliaments and legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to all men, for the Pope's sake, whose servants we are unto death.
You have received all your instructions heretofore as a novice, a neophyte, and have served as co-adjurer, confessor and priest, but you have not yet been invested with all that is necessary to command in the Army of Loyola in the service of the Pope. 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 allegiance to the Pope, repeat after me---
The Extreme Oath of the Jesuits:
"1, _ now, in the presence of Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed Michael the Archangel, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the holy Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul and all the saints and sacred hosts of heaven, and to you, my ghostly father, the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius Loyola in the Pontificate of Paul the Third, and continued to the present, do by the womb of the virgin, the matrix of God, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear, that his holiness the Pope is Christ's Vice-regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic or Universal Church throughout the earth; and that by virtue of the keys of binding and loosing, given to his Holiness by my Savior, Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose heretical kings, princes, states, commonwealths and governments, all being illegal without his sacred confirmation and that they may safely be destroyed. Therefore, to the utmost of my power I shall and will defend this doctrine of his Holiness' right and custom against all usurpers of the heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Lutheran of Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the now pretended authority and churches of England and Scotland, and branches of the same now established in Ireland and on the Continent of America and elsewhere; and all adherents in regard that they be usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome. I do now renounce and disown any allegiance as due to any heretical king, prince or state named Protestants or Liberals, or obedience to any of the laws, magistrates or officers.
I do further declare that the doctrine of the churches of England and Scotland, of the Calvinists, Huguenots and others of the name Protestants or Liberals to be damnable and they themselves damned who will not forsake the same.
I do further declare, that I will help, assist, and advise all or any of his Holiness' agents in any place wherever I shall be, in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, Ireland or America, or in any other Kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my uttermost to extirpate the heretical Protestants or Liberals' doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, regal or otherwise.
I do further promise and declare, that notwithstanding I am dispensed with, to assume my religion heretical, for the propaganda of the Mother Church's interest, to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels from time to time, as they may entrust me and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing or circumstance whatever; but to execute all that shall be proposed, given in charge or discovered unto me, by you, my ghostly father, or any of this sacred covenant.
I do further promise and declare, that I will have no opinion or will of my own, or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the Militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ.
That I may go to any part of the world withersoever I may be sent, to the frozen regions of the North, the burning sands of the desert of Africa, or the jungles of India, to the centers of civilization of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America, without murmuring or repining, and will be submissive in all things whatsoever communicated to me.
I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, 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; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, 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 execrable 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, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.
In confirmation of which, I hereby dedicate my life, my soul and all my corporal powers, and with this dagger which I now receive, I will subscribe my name written in my own blood, in testimony thereof; and should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the Militia of the Pope cut off my hands and my feet, and my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein, with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth and my soul be tortured by demons in an eternal hell forever!
The Jesuits were renouned for being a fifth column, they would join an enemy organisation and dismantle it from within.
A vital principle of the Jesuits was 'the end justifies the means', there is no crime or atrocity that is not allowed if this rule is followed and strangely enough this same concept also exists in the Islamic faith, where lieing, deception, murder, and other atrocity's are exceptable if it furthers the cause of Allah on the earth.
The Jesuits expanded quickly around Europe and managed to reclaim some of the grounds lost to the protestant reformers, one main method used was to establish schools of education where ever possible as by controlling education they could control the knowledge of the future generations, along with their worldviews and mindsets.
They also sent missionarys to far away lands like China, to assimilate into their culture ao they could become teachers and make their way into positions of influence. They were incredibly committed, hard working and willing to lay down their lives to further the cause.
Wherever these missionarys went they would compromise their message with the local religious practises of the area and would return to Europe with Occult ideas they had picked up abroad.
The Jesuits moved into Britain in the 1560's and began preaching disguised as Church Of England Ministers however they began to be discovered after one Jesuit dropped a secret copy of instructions of how to undermine and destroy the Church Of England, his lodgings were searched and further documents were found such as a license from the Jesuits and a book from the Pope which authorised him to preach whatever was necissary to inflame animositys and widen divisions.
The Jesuits also made multiple attempts on Queen Elizabeth I's life in an attempt to turn the country back to Rome.
The Spanish Armada of 1588 was one such attempt to sail against Britian and overthrow the Queen who they viewed as a heretic and illegitamate ruler.
However this was a failed attempt and the Spanish Armada was defeated.
The various Jesuit plots against Queen Elizabeth I are all thoroughly documented. The documentation in the Public Record Office in London reveals that Pope Gregory sanctioned the assassination, and that the Jesuits tried their best to carry it out.
After Queen Elizabeth's death and James I took to the throne, the Jesuits attempted to blow up parliament in 1605, using Guy Fawkes but as you know, this also failed.
(retype)The Gunpowder Plot was a failed assassination attempt against King James 1 by a group of English Catholics led by Robert Catesby. Many English Catholics had hoped that the death of Elizabeth 1 and the accession of James in 1603 would lead to a relenting of harsh penalties for recusancy. Because Elizabeth had not formally named James as her successor, and to counter the efforts of influential Catholics like Robert Persons, James did some skilled political maneuvering with the pope and European monarchs to persuade them he was not a threat to Catholics. After these promising early signs, James cracked down once he was securely on the English throne and banished all Catholic priests. He then threatened to outlaw all Catholics.
From the first moment of the plot’s discovery, the government sought to have the Jesuits incriminated as its instigators. Four of the Jesuits on the wanted list - Garnet, Edward Oldcorne, Ralph Ashby and Nicholas Owen - were starved out of their priest holes at Hindlip Hall at the end of January 1606. Tesimond and Fr John Gerard escaped to the continent. Fr Gerard was a close associate of Garnet, and under suspicion as the minister to several of the conspirators.
At their trial in January 1606 the remaining living conspirators including Fawkes, were convicted and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. So by the time of the trial of the Jesuits no one was alive to testify to their innocence. (retype finish)
There was even murmurings and suspicions that the Jesuits were responsible for the great fire of london in 1666 although their seems to be little hard evidence to support the theory.
In truth, the Jesuits had little success in Britain but they did however manage to establish themselves in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Austria.
They managed to gain influence with rulers and initiated a campaign of persecution against Christians, causing much disruption, war and bloodshed around Europe, they restarted the persecution of Protestants in Germany, leading to the thirty year war of 1618.
Though Sweden stopped germany from returning to Catholic rule, it left the country in ruins.
Jesuits were implicated in the assassination of the French King Henry III and his successor Henry the fourth in 1610.
They believed it is their right to to kill any heretical monarch.
Another King manipulated by the Jesuits was King Louis the fourteenth (XIV) of France, who had a Jesuit confessor from childhood that caused him to become a fanatical bigot who encouraged full persecution of Protestants.
The Jesuit confessor also kept Louis in line by blackmailing him about his immoral life he had confessed at the confessional booth.
The situation worsened and in 1685 hundreds of thousands of french citizens fled to remote areas to avoid torture and death, this was repeated across Europe and Protestants had to flee to avoid persecution.
However, as the Jesuits grew and rose to power, acquired wealth and expanded their territory, governments around them began to peice together their involvements in all the wars and troubles within the land and from 1760 - 1770 they began to systematically drive the Jesuits out from their previously friendly countries of dwelling.
(retype)
A great loathing of the Order had developed almost universally. The sins of the Jesuits were so great, and so well known, that even Roman Catholic countries sought their destruction. By the middle of the eighteenth century, they had been expelled from about thirty places; but they always returned. A new assault, however, was about to begin. In 1757, the prime minister of Portugal forbade the Jesuits to preach, removed the Jesuit confessors of the royal family, and finally banished the Society from all Portuguese territories. This was a monumental blow to the Order, for it stirred Europe, and other nations followed suit. In France in 1762, a “statement of arrest” was issued: “The said Institute is inadmissible in any civilised State, as its nature is hostile to all spiritual and temporal authority... a political body working untiringly at usurping all authority, by all kinds of indirect, secret and devious means...” The Jesuits were expelled from France unless they renounced their vows. In Spain, all Jesuit establishments were suppressed. They were banished from Naples, Parma, and Malta.
All these nations sent the Jesuits back to Italy. And this is what a Papist named Cormenin declared of them: “the soil of Italy was polluted by this unclean slime which the nations had rejected, and which they had sent back to Rome, the fountain of all corruption.” The pope, Clement XIII, was under pressure to suppress the entire Jesuit Order. In 1769, on the night before he was about to do so, he suddenly fell ill and cried out, “I am dying!” He did, no doubt the work of the Jesuits. As history proves, they will readily stoop to murdering popes and kings, if it suits them. Finally, in 1773, Pope Clement XIV signed a brief of dissolution, and even imprisoned the Jesuit General! One can imagine how odious this Society had become, when even the Roman pontiff, under pressure from Romanist nations, was forced to turn against them! But Clement paid with his life, as he knew he would: “this suppression will kill me,” he said. Posters appeared on his palace walls with these letters: ISSSV. Clement knew what they stood for: “In Settembre, Sara Sede Vacante” (In September, the See will be vacant). He was poisoned on September 22, 1774.
The United States of America, being the bastion of freedom of religion (something Rome cannot tolerate), was, naturally enough, particularly targeted by the Jesuits. They sought to stamp out Protestantism, and turn the US into a Roman Catholic country. In 1865, they added the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln to their terrible list of murders. That his assassin was a tool of the Jesuits, was proved by Charles Chiniquy, an ex-priest and courageous Christian minister, who had been a personal friend of Lincoln’s. “But who was that assassin? Booth was nothing but the tool of the Jesuits. It was Rome who directed his arm, after corrupting his heart and damning his soul.... And, after twenty years of constant and most difficult researches, I come fearlessly today before the American people, to say and prove that the President, Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated by the priests and the Jesuits of Rome.” Chiniquy provided ample evidence, as have others as well.
(retype finished)
The statement of arrest issued by the French government in 1762
"The said Institute is inadmissible in any civilised State, as its nature is hostile to all spiritual and temporal authority; it seeks to introduce into the Church and States, under the plausible veil of a religious Institute, not an Order truly desirous to spread evangelical perfection, but rather a political body working untiringly at usurping all authority, by all kinds of indirect, secret and devious means. (The doctrine of Jesuits is) "Perverse, a destroyer of all religious and honest principles, insulting to Christian morals, pernicious to civil society, hostile to the rights of the nation, the royal power, and even the security of the sovereigns and obedience of their subjects; suitable to stir up the greatest disturbances in the States, conceive and maintain the worst kind of corruption in men's hearts."
Though the Pope still supported the Jesuits, the nations of Europe forced him to take action, in 1769 he reluctantly called a secret conclave to bring into effect the suppression of the Jesuits.
However, the Pope, Clement XIII died mysteriously the evening before the meeting could be held, the Jesuits were of course strongly suspected.
The following Pope, Clement XIV tried to reform the Jesuits to no avail and after further pressure from the monarch's of Europe, abolished the Jesuits in 1773.
A year later he was dead, poisoned and the Jesuits were again strongly suspected.
After being abolished the Jesuits were forced to secularise themselves and appeared to dissapear from society but found refuge in Russia where they were allowed to continue as normal.
The Russians wanted the Jesuits to subdue the recently conquored polish people and in return for their help offered refuge.
Both the Crusades and the Inquisition were entirely orchistrated by the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuits.
As the Church's response to the reformation, it was decided at the Council Of Trent that from 1545 - 1563 a commission of Cardinals would be put in place to 'Clean up the Catholic Church' and to reassert its position of authority as "The only true Church of God".

The Jesuit order operates on the complete blind mechanical obedience to those higher up in the hierarchical structure, meaning the entire organisation at the time was at the disposal of the Pope.
The following is the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction given to high ranking Jesuits only. This oath is taken from the book Subterranean Rome by Carlos Didier, translated from the French, and published in New York in 1843.
"My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler: among 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 Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a Protestant, and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their 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 Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.
You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, 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 countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace. To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means.
You have been taught your duty 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 parliaments and legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to all men, for the Pope's sake, whose servants we are unto death.
You have received all your instructions heretofore as a novice, a neophyte, and have served as co-adjurer, confessor and priest, but you have not yet been invested with all that is necessary to command in the Army of Loyola in the service of the Pope. 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 allegiance to the Pope, repeat after me---
The Extreme Oath of the Jesuits:
"1, _ now, in the presence of Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed Michael the Archangel, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the holy Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul and all the saints and sacred hosts of heaven, and to you, my ghostly father, the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius Loyola in the Pontificate of Paul the Third, and continued to the present, do by the womb of the virgin, the matrix of God, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear, that his holiness the Pope is Christ's Vice-regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic or Universal Church throughout the earth; and that by virtue of the keys of binding and loosing, given to his Holiness by my Savior, Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose heretical kings, princes, states, commonwealths and governments, all being illegal without his sacred confirmation and that they may safely be destroyed. Therefore, to the utmost of my power I shall and will defend this doctrine of his Holiness' right and custom against all usurpers of the heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Lutheran of Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the now pretended authority and churches of England and Scotland, and branches of the same now established in Ireland and on the Continent of America and elsewhere; and all adherents in regard that they be usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome. I do now renounce and disown any allegiance as due to any heretical king, prince or state named Protestants or Liberals, or obedience to any of the laws, magistrates or officers.
I do further declare that the doctrine of the churches of England and Scotland, of the Calvinists, Huguenots and others of the name Protestants or Liberals to be damnable and they themselves damned who will not forsake the same.
I do further declare, that I will help, assist, and advise all or any of his Holiness' agents in any place wherever I shall be, in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, Ireland or America, or in any other Kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my uttermost to extirpate the heretical Protestants or Liberals' doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, regal or otherwise.
I do further promise and declare, that notwithstanding I am dispensed with, to assume my religion heretical, for the propaganda of the Mother Church's interest, to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels from time to time, as they may entrust me and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing or circumstance whatever; but to execute all that shall be proposed, given in charge or discovered unto me, by you, my ghostly father, or any of this sacred covenant.
I do further promise and declare, that I will have no opinion or will of my own, or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the Militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ.
That I may go to any part of the world withersoever I may be sent, to the frozen regions of the North, the burning sands of the desert of Africa, or the jungles of India, to the centers of civilization of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America, without murmuring or repining, and will be submissive in all things whatsoever communicated to me.
I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, 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; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, 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 execrable 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, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.
In confirmation of which, I hereby dedicate my life, my soul and all my corporal powers, and with this dagger which I now receive, I will subscribe my name written in my own blood, in testimony thereof; and should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the Militia of the Pope cut off my hands and my feet, and my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein, with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth and my soul be tortured by demons in an eternal hell forever!
The Jesuits were renouned for being a fifth column, they would join an enemy organisation and dismantle it from within.
A vital principle of the Jesuits was 'the end justifies the means', there is no crime or atrocity that is not allowed if this rule is followed and strangely enough this same concept also exists in the Islamic faith, where lieing, deception, murder, and other atrocity's are exceptable if it furthers the cause of Allah on the earth.
The Jesuits expanded quickly around Europe and managed to reclaim some of the grounds lost to the protestant reformers, one main method used was to establish schools of education where ever possible as by controlling education they could control the knowledge of the future generations, along with their worldviews and mindsets.
They also sent missionarys to far away lands like China, to assimilate into their culture ao they could become teachers and make their way into positions of influence. They were incredibly committed, hard working and willing to lay down their lives to further the cause.
Wherever these missionarys went they would compromise their message with the local religious practises of the area and would return to Europe with Occult ideas they had picked up abroad.
The Jesuits moved into Britain in the 1560's and began preaching disguised as Church Of England Ministers however they began to be discovered after one Jesuit dropped a secret copy of instructions of how to undermine and destroy the Church Of England, his lodgings were searched and further documents were found such as a license from the Jesuits and a book from the Pope which authorised him to preach whatever was necissary to inflame animositys and widen divisions.
The Jesuits also made multiple attempts on Queen Elizabeth I's life in an attempt to turn the country back to Rome.
The Spanish Armada of 1588 was one such attempt to sail against Britian and overthrow the Queen who they viewed as a heretic and illegitamate ruler.
However this was a failed attempt and the Spanish Armada was defeated.
The various Jesuit plots against Queen Elizabeth I are all thoroughly documented. The documentation in the Public Record Office in London reveals that Pope Gregory sanctioned the assassination, and that the Jesuits tried their best to carry it out.
After Queen Elizabeth's death and James I took to the throne, the Jesuits attempted to blow up parliament in 1605, using Guy Fawkes but as you know, this also failed.
(retype)The Gunpowder Plot was a failed assassination attempt against King James 1 by a group of English Catholics led by Robert Catesby. Many English Catholics had hoped that the death of Elizabeth 1 and the accession of James in 1603 would lead to a relenting of harsh penalties for recusancy. Because Elizabeth had not formally named James as her successor, and to counter the efforts of influential Catholics like Robert Persons, James did some skilled political maneuvering with the pope and European monarchs to persuade them he was not a threat to Catholics. After these promising early signs, James cracked down once he was securely on the English throne and banished all Catholic priests. He then threatened to outlaw all Catholics.
From the first moment of the plot’s discovery, the government sought to have the Jesuits incriminated as its instigators. Four of the Jesuits on the wanted list - Garnet, Edward Oldcorne, Ralph Ashby and Nicholas Owen - were starved out of their priest holes at Hindlip Hall at the end of January 1606. Tesimond and Fr John Gerard escaped to the continent. Fr Gerard was a close associate of Garnet, and under suspicion as the minister to several of the conspirators.
At their trial in January 1606 the remaining living conspirators including Fawkes, were convicted and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. So by the time of the trial of the Jesuits no one was alive to testify to their innocence. (retype finish)
There was even murmurings and suspicions that the Jesuits were responsible for the great fire of london in 1666 although their seems to be little hard evidence to support the theory.
In truth, the Jesuits had little success in Britain but they did however manage to establish themselves in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Austria.
They managed to gain influence with rulers and initiated a campaign of persecution against Christians, causing much disruption, war and bloodshed around Europe, they restarted the persecution of Protestants in Germany, leading to the thirty year war of 1618.
Though Sweden stopped germany from returning to Catholic rule, it left the country in ruins.
Jesuits were implicated in the assassination of the French King Henry III and his successor Henry the fourth in 1610.
They believed it is their right to to kill any heretical monarch.
Another King manipulated by the Jesuits was King Louis the fourteenth (XIV) of France, who had a Jesuit confessor from childhood that caused him to become a fanatical bigot who encouraged full persecution of Protestants.
The Jesuit confessor also kept Louis in line by blackmailing him about his immoral life he had confessed at the confessional booth.
The situation worsened and in 1685 hundreds of thousands of french citizens fled to remote areas to avoid torture and death, this was repeated across Europe and Protestants had to flee to avoid persecution.
However, as the Jesuits grew and rose to power, acquired wealth and expanded their territory, governments around them began to peice together their involvements in all the wars and troubles within the land and from 1760 - 1770 they began to systematically drive the Jesuits out from their previously friendly countries of dwelling.

A great loathing of the Order had developed almost universally. The sins of the Jesuits were so great, and so well known, that even Roman Catholic countries sought their destruction. By the middle of the eighteenth century, they had been expelled from about thirty places; but they always returned. A new assault, however, was about to begin. In 1757, the prime minister of Portugal forbade the Jesuits to preach, removed the Jesuit confessors of the royal family, and finally banished the Society from all Portuguese territories. This was a monumental blow to the Order, for it stirred Europe, and other nations followed suit. In France in 1762, a “statement of arrest” was issued: “The said Institute is inadmissible in any civilised State, as its nature is hostile to all spiritual and temporal authority... a political body working untiringly at usurping all authority, by all kinds of indirect, secret and devious means...” The Jesuits were expelled from France unless they renounced their vows. In Spain, all Jesuit establishments were suppressed. They were banished from Naples, Parma, and Malta.
All these nations sent the Jesuits back to Italy. And this is what a Papist named Cormenin declared of them: “the soil of Italy was polluted by this unclean slime which the nations had rejected, and which they had sent back to Rome, the fountain of all corruption.” The pope, Clement XIII, was under pressure to suppress the entire Jesuit Order. In 1769, on the night before he was about to do so, he suddenly fell ill and cried out, “I am dying!” He did, no doubt the work of the Jesuits. As history proves, they will readily stoop to murdering popes and kings, if it suits them. Finally, in 1773, Pope Clement XIV signed a brief of dissolution, and even imprisoned the Jesuit General! One can imagine how odious this Society had become, when even the Roman pontiff, under pressure from Romanist nations, was forced to turn against them! But Clement paid with his life, as he knew he would: “this suppression will kill me,” he said. Posters appeared on his palace walls with these letters: ISSSV. Clement knew what they stood for: “In Settembre, Sara Sede Vacante” (In September, the See will be vacant). He was poisoned on September 22, 1774.
The United States of America, being the bastion of freedom of religion (something Rome cannot tolerate), was, naturally enough, particularly targeted by the Jesuits. They sought to stamp out Protestantism, and turn the US into a Roman Catholic country. In 1865, they added the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln to their terrible list of murders. That his assassin was a tool of the Jesuits, was proved by Charles Chiniquy, an ex-priest and courageous Christian minister, who had been a personal friend of Lincoln’s. “But who was that assassin? Booth was nothing but the tool of the Jesuits. It was Rome who directed his arm, after corrupting his heart and damning his soul.... And, after twenty years of constant and most difficult researches, I come fearlessly today before the American people, to say and prove that the President, Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated by the priests and the Jesuits of Rome.” Chiniquy provided ample evidence, as have others as well.
(retype finished)
The statement of arrest issued by the French government in 1762
"The said Institute is inadmissible in any civilised State, as its nature is hostile to all spiritual and temporal authority; it seeks to introduce into the Church and States, under the plausible veil of a religious Institute, not an Order truly desirous to spread evangelical perfection, but rather a political body working untiringly at usurping all authority, by all kinds of indirect, secret and devious means. (The doctrine of Jesuits is) "Perverse, a destroyer of all religious and honest principles, insulting to Christian morals, pernicious to civil society, hostile to the rights of the nation, the royal power, and even the security of the sovereigns and obedience of their subjects; suitable to stir up the greatest disturbances in the States, conceive and maintain the worst kind of corruption in men's hearts."
Though the Pope still supported the Jesuits, the nations of Europe forced him to take action, in 1769 he reluctantly called a secret conclave to bring into effect the suppression of the Jesuits.
However, the Pope, Clement XIII died mysteriously the evening before the meeting could be held, the Jesuits were of course strongly suspected.
The following Pope, Clement XIV tried to reform the Jesuits to no avail and after further pressure from the monarch's of Europe, abolished the Jesuits in 1773.
A year later he was dead, poisoned and the Jesuits were again strongly suspected.
After being abolished the Jesuits were forced to secularise themselves and appeared to dissapear from society but found refuge in Russia where they were allowed to continue as normal.
The Russians wanted the Jesuits to subdue the recently conquored polish people and in return for their help offered refuge.
Both the Crusades and the Inquisition were entirely orchistrated by the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuits.
