Goes over the history of the Jesuits.
Excerpts:
Ignatius Loyola was hailed as the man of the hour.
Who, then, was Ignatius Loyola?
He was the founder of a new Order, the Order of Jesuits, whose one supreme object was to check the progress of the Reformation.
He was born in 1491, eight years after Luther and belonged to an old Spanish family.
Tn due course Ignatius entered upon a military career, in which he greatly distinguished himself, but in the course of which he met with an accident, which completely changed the current of his life.
A wound which he received in battle laid him aside for a time from active duties.
During his tedious illness he took to reading Roman Catholic literature.
He underwent a spiritual change.
He longed to devote himself as whole-heartedly to the Church as he had done to the army.
He gave himself up to asceticism of the extremest type.
We are told that he clothed himself in black filthy garments, and allowed his uncurled hair to fall over his unwashed face.
As the result of his long fasts he had fainting fits, and in his trances, on his own affirmation, he had visions of the saints, especially of the Virgin Mary.
His delusions led him to imagine that he had been translated direct to heaven, where God with His own hand had placed him close beside His own Son, Jesus Christ.
His brother, alarmed no doubt for his sanity, urged Ignatius to give up all his nonsense and act like other men.
All in vain.
Ignatius persisted in his new career, In order to chastise himself for his former love of pleasure, he flogged his body till the blood flowed.
He took himself to a hospital in order to live with beggars and sick people.
We are told that he never slept in a bed, not even on straw, but upon the bare naked ground, and subsisted during the whole week on nothing but water and bread, which he obtained bybegging in the streets.
Do you wish to excite troubles, to provoke revolution, to produce the total ruin of your country?
Call in the Jesuits.
Raise up again the monks, open academies, and build magnificent colleges for these hot-headed religionists, suffer those audacious priests, in their dictatorial and dogmatic tone, to decide on affairs of State.”
That is the case against the Jesuits in a nutshell. |
