“IS JESUITISM A TOLERABLE ELEMENT IN A CHRISTIAN STATE, OR AN UNDESIRABLE ALIEN?
It’s Head usurps Christ’s office as Priest, Saviour, King, and the Holy Spirit as Inspirer, Guide, Santctifier;
It substitutes a mere woman, the B.V.M., as Mediator and Saviour, and worships a wafer as very Christ;
It substitutes a clerical caste of unregenerate men for the “the Church; It claims Absolute power and Infallibility ofr its Head over every human being;
It denies the efficiency and sufficiency of Christ’s Atonement by “crucifying him afresh” in the Mass;
It claims to forgive Sin as God in the Confessional, and to create the Creator in the Eucharist;
It tampers with and tramples on the Ten Commandments;
It defeats God’s purpose of Redemption and Reconciliation by forbidding and burning his Revelation;
Its morality is wholly un-Christian and Satanic; it sanctions every sin and crime;
It poisons the wells of Salvation and the Water of life;
It commits wholesale murder to enforece its usurped authority, whose denial it calls heresy;
It emasculates mankind by Education and Direction. the better to exploit it;
It effaces the image of God in Man and blots out God;
Its rule has ever been and still is a Reign of Terror-physical, moral, spiritual.
ITS EDUCATION DESTROYS THE INTELLECT; ITS DIRECTION THE WILL; ITS AUTHORITY THE PERSONALITY; ITS CONFESSIONAL THE SOUL; ITS MORALITY THE CONSCIENCE; LEAVING THE MAN A SHELL, A CORPSE.
Its chief business is to teach, preach, and when possible, practice Treason.”
(L. K. Kentish -Rankin, M.A., in his masterful compilation called “CATHOLICS IN THE WITNESS BOX,” published in 1936 and now very rare.)

“The Jesuits have a special talent for ruining whatever they touch.” Cardinal Antonelli, Pius IX’s right hand man.

“To receive the Jesuites into a kingdome is to receive in a vermine which will knaw out the ehart of the State both spiritiual and temporal.” (1602, “THE JESUITES CATECHISME”)

“No country could ever yet tolerate Jeuits in its bosom without certain destruction.” (Quarterly Review, No. 134., p. 506)

“The happy day of our social and religious regeneration is not far off. The re-establishment of of the Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition must soon take place. Its reign will be more glorious than in the past. Our Catholic het overflows with faith and enthusiaism…What a day of pleasure will that be for us when we see Freemasons, Spiritualists, Freethinkers, and Anit-Clericals writhing in the flames of Inquisition!” (La Bandera Catolica of Barcelona, July 29, 1883.)

“A CONVICTED HERETIC USED TO BE PUNISHED WITH DEATH. NOTHING HAS EVER APPEARED MORE NECESSARY. AFTER THREE CENTURIES WE ARE ON THE EVE OF A RE-COMMENCEMENT.” (L’UNIVERS, 1872)


“The General of the Jesuits insists on being Sovereign over Sovereigns. Wherever they are admitted they will be masters cost what it may. Their Society is the irreconcilable enemy of Constituted Authority. Every crime, however atrocious, is meritorious if committed for the interests of the Jesuits.” Napoleon Bonaparte in “Letters to Montholon.”

“Their order is now in the fullest sense the Urim and Thummim and Breastplate of the High Priest, the Pope-who can only then issue an oracular utterance when he has consulted his breastplate, the Jesuit Order.” (Quirinus in his “Letters from Rome,” 1870, p 79.)

“By their sophistries, subtleties, and hair splitting distinctions, they contrive to transmute every virtue of God’s tree of life, every doctrine and precept of the Gospel into a deadly poison to minister spiritual and eternal death to the nations-the very masterpiece of hell, the perfection of Devilism.” (Alexander Duff in “The Jesuits, p. 34-35.)


“In every well ordered kingdom heretics are always burned. You (Irish) have in four years slaughtered 150,000 Protestants…it remains to slaughter all that remain.” (C. O’Mahony, Disput. Apolog., 1645.


“He who thinks Rome can be healed knows little of her; the whole administration of the church is there converted into a great trading business, a traffic forbidden by all laws, human, natural and Divine.” Melchior Canus, 1550.

“The Combination of fiendish malignity with pretensions to piety are the peculiar growth of the Church of Rome.” (J.A. Froude, History of the English in Ireland, p. 482, vol. 1.)

“If there is ever to be either political or social regeneration of Europe…it must be by the ANNIHILATION of the whole ecclesiastical system of the Papacy. Roman Catholic doctrine practically BLOTS OUT God from the moral government of ALL who believe in it.” (P. Connelly, 1851, Reasons for Abjuring Allegiance to the See of Rome)

“The entire system of that Church is in the fullest sense AntiChristian. We can never have the remotest fellowship with the utters of that fearful falsehood and LIVE. I believe that the honour of England’s arms will be tarnished, her commerce blighted and her national character degraded until the Romanist is EXPELLED from the place which has has been impiously conceded to him among her legislators.” ( John Ruskin in the Seven Lamps of Architecture, 1849, p.13.)

“Papacy’s practices since the Reformation for breaking up a Protestant kingdom are irreconcilable with ANY DEGREE OF FELLOWSHIP WITH CHRIST.” (Dean Goode in Rome’s Tactics ed. 1893, p. 65.)

“Protestantism and prosperity have always gone hand in hand in England’s history, while a pandering to Popery has invariably been either accompanied with or quickly followed by National calamities.” (Rev. Hely Smith)

“In the name of common sense and British freedom, how long are laws to be made for Protestants by Popish legislators? How long is our Religion to be held at the mercy of a system begotten in delusion, brought forth in inquity, and maintained by the fearless dissolution of every tie that binds man to man?” “We have adreadful enemy to contend with-Popery….A year of Popish supremacy would effect the total subversion of Church and State; full vengeance on all who had repressed its ambition; exile, confiscation and death for its particular enemies; ruin for Protestantism and the Constitution. With Ireland in Popish hands, what could save England? What could be our resistance with the Constitution against us?” Dr. Croly, 1837.

“While nothing can exceed the excellence of individual Jesuits, nothing can exceed the moreal turpitude of the corporate action of the Jesuits. No precept of Christ, no precedent of the Apostles, no principle of Christian morality has not been outraged by Jesuit policy and practice. ‘Jesuitry” has become the synonym for sanctimonious craft serving the purpose of merciless bigotry.” Bishop Hensley Henson cited in “John Calvin, Many Sided Genuis” by Alfred T. Davies.
