“The Jesuits”

Handout #5 // February 4, 2006

Here are some facts about the Jesuit Order that generally are not included in many history textbooks or encyclopedias here in America:

· Ignatius of Loyola founded the Jesuit Order (a.k.a. The Society of Jesus and The Company) in 1536 in Paris, France. Pope Paul III officially recognized the Jesuit Order in 1540. The Jesuit Order was founded primarily to counter the Protestant Reformation.

· The Jesuit Order from its beginning concentrated in several areas: (1) education – they founded numerous institutes of higher learning; (2) the confessional – they became the father confessors to kings (and their mistresses), queens, princes, top generals, etc.

· The Jesuits quickly gained a reputation for assassinating kings and presidents who would not “play ball” with them. Here are just a few of the leaders that they murdered or paid others to murder: President Abraham Lincoln, Czars Alexander I and Alexander II of Russia, Kings Henry III and Henry IV of France, and President Juarez of Mexico.

· The Jesuits assassinated a number of popes, including Pope Clement XIII (in 1769) and Pope Clement XIV (in 1774) – both of whom were poisoned to death. The former was poisoned the night before he was to have signed a document suppressing the Jesuit Order; the latter was poisoned 14 months after he had abolished the Jesuit Order “forever”.

· Jesuit-trained Adam Weishaupt, who taught Canon Law at Jesuit Ingolstadt College in Bavaria, pretended to leave the Jesuit Order when he set up a Jesuit front group called the Illuminati in 1776. Weishaupt died in the good graces of the Roman Catholic Church.

· The Jesuits also quickly gained a reputation for fomenting revolutions and wars. Their fingerprints, through their front organization (i.e., the Illuminati), are all over the bloody French Revolution (1789-1799). Additionally, President Abraham Lincoln stated that the Jesuits had been behind the fomenting of the American Civil War of 1861-1865.

· Canadian historian J.E.C. Shepherd reported that the Jesuits had been expelled from at least 83 different countries, cities, and city-states by 1931 because of their involvement in court intrigues, in assassinating heads of State, and in fomenting revolutions and wars.

· Author John Daniel, in his book The Grand Design Exposed, makes a good case that the Jesuit Order took over the higher levels of Freemasonry.
