The History of the New World Order from a Christian Perspective
Parts 31 - 37
Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. - 2 Corinthians11:14-15- The Bible

Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences
Commonly Known as
by Dr. Martin Luther Alternate translation by Adolph Spaeth, L.D. Reed, Henry Eyster Jacobs, et Al. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/95_Theses
Out of love and concern for the truth, and with the object of eliciting it, the following heads will be the subject of a public discussion at Wittenberg under the presidency of the reverend father, Martin Luther, Augustinian, Master of Arts and Sacred Theology, and duly appointed Lecturer on these subjects in that place. He requests that whoever cannot be present personally to debate the matter orally will do so in absence in writing.
1. When our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, said "Repent" , He called for the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.
2. The word ["Repent"] cannot be properly understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, i.e. confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy.
3. Yet its meaning is not restricted to repentance in one's heart; for such repentance is null unless it produces outward signs in various mortifications of the flesh.
4. As long as hatred of self abides (i.e. true inward repentance)? the penalty of sin abides, viz., until we enter the kingdom of heaven.
5. The pope has neither the will nor the power to remit any penalties beyond those imposed either at his own discretion or by canon law.
6. The pope himself cannot remit guilt, but only declare and confirm that it has been remitted by God; or, at most, he can remit it in cases reserved to his discretion. Except for these cases, the guilt remains untouched.
7. God never remits guilt to anyone without, at the same time, making him humbly submissive to the priest, His representative.
8. The penitential canons apply only to men who are still alive, and, according to the canons themselves, none applies to the dead.
9. Accordingly, the Holy Spirit, acting in the person of the pope, manifests grace to us, by the fact that the papal regulations always cease to apply at death, or in any hard case.
10. It is a wrongful act, due to ignorance, when priests retain the canonical penalties on the dead in purgatory.
11. When canonical penalties were changed and made to apply to purgatory, surely it would seem that tares were sown while the bishops were asleep.
12. In former days, the canonical penalties were imposed, not after, but before absolution was pronounced; and were intended to be tests of true contrition.
13. Death puts an end to all the claims of the Church; even the dying are already dead to the canon laws, and are no longer bound by them.
14. Defective piety or love in a dying person is necessarily accompanied by great fear, which is greatest where the piety or love is least.
15. This fear or horror is sufficient in itself, whatever else might be said, to constitute the pain of purgatory, since it approaches very closely to the horror of despair.
16. There seems to be the same difference between hell, purgatory, and heaven as between despair, uncertainty, and assurance.
17. Of a truth, the pains of souls in purgatory ought to be abated, and charity ought to be proportionately increased.
18. Moreover, it does not seem proved, on any grounds of reason or Scripture, that these souls are outside the state of merit, or unable to grow in grace.
19. Nor does it seem proved to be always the case that they are certain and assured of salvation, even if we are very certain ourselves.
20. Therefore the pope, in speaking of the plenary remission of all penalties, does not mean "all" in the strict sense, but only those imposed by himself.
21. Hence those who preach indulgences are in error when they say that a man is absolved and saved from every penalty by the pope's indulgences.
22. Indeed, he cannot remit to souls in purgatory any penalty which canon law declares should be suffered in the present life.
23. If plenary remission could be granted to anyone at all, it would be only in the cases of the most perfect, i.e. to very few.
24. It must therefore be the case that the major part of the people are deceived by that indiscriminate and high-sounding promise of relief from penalty.
25. The same power as the pope exercises in general over purgatory is exercised in particular by every single bishop in his bishopric and priest in his parish.
26. The pope does excellently when he grants remission to the souls in purgatory on account of intercessions made on their behalf, and not by the power of the keys (which he cannot exercise for them).
27. There is no divine authority for preaching that the soul flies out of the purgatory immediately the money clinks in the bottom of the chest.
28. It is certainly possible that when the money clinks in the bottom of the chest avarice and greed increase; but when the church offers intercession, all depends in the will of God.
29. Who knows whether all souls in purgatory wish to be redeemed in view of what is said of St. Severinus and St. Pascal? (Note: Paschal I, pope 817-24. The legend is that he and Severinus were willing to endure the pains of purgatory for the benefit of the faithful).
30. No one is sure of the reality of his own contrition, much less of receiving plenary forgiveness.
31. One who bona fide buys indulgence is a rare as a bona fide penitent man, i.e. very rare indeed.
32. All those who believe themselves certain of their own salvation by means of letters of indulgence, will be eternally damned, together with their teachers.
33. We should be most carefully on our guard against those who say that the papal indulgences are an inestimable divine gift, and that a man is reconciled to God by them.
34. For the grace conveyed by these indulgences relates simply to the penalties of the sacramental "satisfactions" decreed merely by man.
35. It is not in accordance with Christian doctrines to preach and teach that those who buy off souls, or purchase confessional licenses, have no need to repent of their own sins.
36. Any Christian whatsoever, who is truly repentant, enjoys plenary remission from penalty and guilt, and this is given him without letters of indulgence.
37. Any true Christian whatsoever, living or dead, participates in all the benefits of Christ and the Church; and this participation is granted to him by God without letters of indulgence.
38. Yet the pope's remission and dispensation are in no way to be despised, for, as already said, they proclaim the divine remission.
39. It is very difficult, even for the most learned theologians, to extol to the people the great bounty contained in the indulgences, while, at the same time, praising contrition as a virtue.
40. A truly contrite sinner seeks out, and loves to pay, the penalties of his sins; whereas the very multitude of indulgences dulls men's consciences, and tends to make them hate the penalties.
41. Papal indulgences should only be preached with caution, lest people gain a wrong understanding, and think that they are preferable to other good works: those of love.
42. Christians should be taught that the pope does not at all intend that the purchase of indulgences should be understood as at all comparable with the works of mercy.
43. Christians should be taught that one who gives to the poor, or lends to the needy, does a better action than if he purchases indulgences.
44. Because, by works of love, love grows and a man becomes a better man; whereas, by indulgences, he does not become a better man, but only escapes certain penalties.
45. Christians should be taught that he who sees a needy person, but passes him by although he gives money for indulgences, gains no benefit from the pope's pardon, but only incurs the wrath of God.
46. Christians should be taught that, unless they have more than they need, they are bound to retain what is only necessary for the upkeep of their home, and should in no way squander it on indulgences.
47. Christians should be taught that they purchase indulgences voluntarily, and are not under obligation to do so.
48. Christians should be taught that, in granting indulgences, the pope has more need, and more desire, for devout prayer on his own behalf than for ready money.
49. Christians should be taught that the pope's indulgences are useful only if one does not rely on them, but most harmful if one loses the fear of God through them.
50. Christians should be taught that, if the pope knew the exactions of the indulgence-preachers, he would rather the church of St. Peter were reduced to ashes than be built with the skin, flesh, and bones of the sheep.
51. Christians should be taught that the pope would be willing, as he ought if necessity should arise, to sell the church of St. Peter, and give, too, his own money to many of those from whom the pardon-merchants conjure money.
52. It is vain to rely on salvation by letters of indulgence, even if the commissary, or indeed the pope himself, were to pledge his own soul for their validity.
53. Those are enemies of Christ and the pope who forbid the word of God to be preached at all in some churches, in order that indulgences may be preached in others.
54. The word of God suffers injury if, in the same sermon, an equal or longer time is devoted to indulgences than to that word.
55. The pope cannot help taking the view that if indulgences (very small matters) are celebrated by one bell, one pageant, or one ceremony, the gospel (a very great matter) should be preached to the accompaniment of a hundred bells, a hundred processions, a hundred ceremonies.
56. The treasures of the church, out of which the pope dispenses indulgences, are not sufficiently spoken of or known among the people of Christ.
57. That these treasures are not temporal are clear from the fact that many of the merchants do not grant them freely, but only collect them.
58. Nor are they the merits of Christ and the saints, because, even apart from the pope, these merits are always working grace in the inner man, and working the cross, death, and hell in the outer man.
59. St. Laurence said that the poor were the treasures of the church, but he used the term in accordance with the custom of his own time.
60. We do not speak rashly in saying that the treasures of the church are the keys of the church, and are bestowed by the merits of Christ.
61. For it is clear that the power of the pope suffices, by itself, for the remission of penalties and reserved cases.
62. The true treasure of the church is the Holy gospel of the glory and the grace of God.
63. It is right to regard this treasure as most odious, for it makes the first to be the last.
64. On the other hand, the treasure of indulgences is most acceptable, for it makes the last to be the first.
65. Therefore the treasures of the gospel are nets which, in former times, they used to fish for men of wealth.
66. The treasures of the indulgences are the nets which to-day they use to fish for the wealth of men.
67. The indulgences, which the merchants extol as the greatest of favours, are seen to be, in fact, a favourite means for money-getting.
68. Nevertheless, they are not to be compared with the grace of God and the compassion shown in the Cross.
69. Bishops and curates, in duty bound, must receive the commissaries of the papal indulgences with all reverence.
70. But they are under a much greater obligation to watch closely and attend carefully lest these men preach their own fancies instead of what the pope commissioned.
71. Let him be anathema and accursed who denies the apostolic character of the indulgences.
72. On the other hand, let him be blessed who is on his guard against the wantonness and license of the pardon-merchant's words.
73. In the same way, the pope rightly excommunicates those who make any plans to the detriment of the trade in indulgences.
74. It is much more in keeping with his views to excommunicate those who use the pretext of indulgences to plot anything to the detriment of holy love and truth.
75. It is foolish to think that papal indulgences have so much power that they can absolve a man even if he has done the impossible and violated the mother of God.
76. We assert the contrary, and say that the pope's pardons are not able to remove the least venial of sins as far as their guilt is concerned.
77. When it is said that not even St. Peter, if he were now pope, could grant a greater grace, it is blasphemy against St. Peter and the pope.
78. We assert the contrary, and say that he, and any pope whatever, possesses greater graces, viz., the gospel, spiritual powers, gifts of healing, etc., as is declared in I Corinthians 12 [:28].
79. It is blasphemy to say that the insignia of the cross with the papal arms are of equal value to the cross on which Christ died.
80. The bishops, curates, and theologians, who permit assertions of that kind to be made to the people without let or hindrance, will have to answer for it.
81. This unbridled preaching of indulgences makes it difficult for learned men to guard the respect due to the pope against false accusations, or at least from the keen criticisms of the laity.
82. They ask, e.g.: Why does not the pope liberate everyone from purgatory for the sake of love (a most holy thing) and because of the supreme necessity of their souls? This would be morally the best of all reasons. Meanwhile he redeems innumerable souls for money, a most perishable thing, with which to build St. Peter's church, a very minor purpose.
83. Again: Why should funeral and anniversary masses for the dead continue to be said? And why does not the pope repay, or permit to be repaid, the benefactions instituted for these purposes, since it is wrong to pray for those souls who are now redeemed?
84. Again: Surely this is a new sort of compassion, on the part of God and the pope, when an impious man, an enemy of God, is allowed to pay money to redeem a devout soul, a friend of God; while yet that devout and beloved soul is not allowed to be redeemed without payment, for love's sake, and just because of its need of redemption.
85. Again: Why are the penitential canon laws, which in fact, if not in practice, have long been obsolete and dead in themselves,—why are they, to-day, still used in imposing fines in money, through the granting of indulgences, as if all the penitential canons were fully operative?
86. Again: since the pope's income to-day is larger than that of the wealthiest of wealthy men, why does he not build this one church of St. Peter with his own money, rather than with the money of indigent believers?
87. Again: What does the pope remit or dispense to people who, by their perfect repentance, have a right to plenary remission or dispensation?
88. Again: Surely a greater good could be done to the church if the pope were to bestow these remissions and dispensations, not once, as now, but a hundred times a day, for the benefit of any believer whatever.
89. If what the pope seeks by indulgences is not money, but rather the salvation of souls; why then does he suspend the letters and indulgences formerly conceded, and still as efficacious as ever?
90. These questions are serious matters of conscience to the laity. To suppress them by force alone, and not to refute them by giving reasons, is to expose the church and the pope to the ridicule of their enemies, and to make Christian people unhappy.
91. If therefore, indulgences were preached in accordance with the spirit and mind of the pope, all these difficulties would be easily overcome, and indeed, cease to exist.
92. Away, then, with those prophets who say to Christ's people, "Peace, peace," where in there is no peace.
93. Hail, hail to all those prophets who say to Christ's people, "The cross, the cross," where there is no cross.
94. Christians should be exhorted to be zealous to follow Christ, their Head, through penalties, deaths, and hells.
95. And let them thus be more confident of entering heaven through many tribulations rather than through a false assurance of peace.

King Henry VIII:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/history/tudors_stuarts/reformation/revision/4/
- He split away from Rome because he wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn. The Act of Supremacy made him head of the Church in England / Anglican which was neither Protestant nor Catholic.
- He closed the monasteries to get their wealth.
- His son Edward had Protestant teachers and he was brought up as a Protestant.
- The Bible was translated into English (1539).
- Towards the end of his reign Henry passed the Six Articles (1539) which meant the Church remained Catholic.
- Protestants who denied the Catholic faith were persecuted and even burned !
- The English Monarch (Queen Elizabeth II) is still the head of the Church of England
Bloody Queen Mary 1:
- Catholic - wanted
- 1555 - Burned at the stake John Thomas Matthew Rogers
- Hundreds burned at the stake
- Marian exile - many Protestants fled England - Many went to Geneva Switzerland:
Myles Coverdale, John Foxe, Thomas Sampson, William Wittington, John Calvin, John Knox
- Geneva Bible was published first published 1560.
Queen Elizabeth I:
Elizabeth allowed the publishing and the distribution of the Geneva Bible but did not like the anti-Church of England notes it contained.
1568: Bishop's Bible produced under the authority of the Church of England. It was revised in 1572.
1582: 1st Roman Catholic English language Bible (Jesuit - Rhemes Bible - later known as the Douay-Rhemes) was published BUT all the corruptions in the Catholic Latin Vulgate Bible was transferred into the English translation.
1589: Dr William Fulke of Cambridge published the “Fulke’s Refutation”, in which he printed in parallel columns the Bishops Version along side the Rheims Version, attempting to show the error and distortion of the Roman Church’s corrupt compromise of an English version of the Bible.
King James I of England:
(picture left) 'The Translators Presenting the Bible To James I'
- 1604: Protestant clergy announced their desire for a new translation to replace the Bishop's Bible and the more popular Geneva Bible. They did not want the controversial marginal notes (proclaiming the Pope an Anti-Christ, etc.)
- 1611: King James Bible published - chained to every pulpit in England.
- 1612: Smaller sized version published so that individuals could own a personal copy.
- Many Protestant Christian churches today embrace the King James Bible exclusively as the “only” legitimate English language translation, yet it is not even a Protestant translation! It was printed to compete with the Protestant Geneva Bible, by authorities who throughout most of history were hostile to Protestants and killed them.
- While many Protestants are quick to assign the full blame of persecution to the Roman Catholic Church, it should be noted that even after England broke from Roman Catholicism in the 1500’s, the Church of England (The Anglican Church) continued to persecute Protestants throughout the 1600’s :
1. John Bunyan, who wrote Pilgrim’s Progress while in prison for the crime of preaching the Gospel.

What can we learn from the Reformation?
- The flow of information in the spiritual war is important.
- Satan fights hard to keep control of this information.
- Satan tried to establish a hierarchy of knowledge that would create a dependency on the priests. The priests at the top of the pyramid could then control the ignorant for their own purposes.
- This is format is repeated in all occult systems - The majority controlled by an elite who know.
- Satan battles to oppose freedom of thought and free speech.
- Satan used the Catholic church to tell people what they should think and then used ignorance to keep people blinded, deceived and in chains.
- Satan enforced the situation with close monitoring of perceived threats to his status quo and then the use of fear, intimidation and violence to eliminate anyone who stepped out of line.
Much of this is being repeated today:
As darkness encroaches in our time
- Our laws are changing to eliminate truly free thought and speech.
- We now have ‘hate laws’ which prohibit Christians from making certain claims about the nature of sin and the nature of God.
- Every opinion except a Christian one is allowed into the public arena.
What is allowing this darkness to encroach?
- Christians no longer evangelise publicly for fear of being marginalised or persecuted. (only 2% of Christians in America now share their faith with others.)
Our forefathers during the Reformation prized the truth so highly that they were willing to pay for it with their lives. The early church had the same mentality. During both these periods, Christianity spread like wildfire. A lot of people were persecuted and put to death because that is Satan’s way of intimidating us. We need to rediscover at least some of that mentality if we are to have any success in the battle for our nation. We should regard our comfort and even our lives as nought when we consider the work that lies before us.
The last command of our Lord Jesus before he ascended to heaven was the Great Commission to go out into the whole world spreading the gospel. The early church did just that and that’s the reason why it spread so quickly at first. We don’t and that’s partly why our nation is slowly sinking into the mire. We are losing the information war.
The source of information for the modern world is the media. We are bombarded with information from TV, radio, magazines, newspapers, movies etc. constantly. Another source is the education system. We all pass through it. If Satan controls the flow of information in those fields, he controls the people. Keep that in mind for later because we’ll find that there is a hierarchy at work in the media and education systems also.
It is a hallmark of Satan to try and shut down the free exchange of ideas – particularly where those ideas pertain to Jesus. The importance of this concept can’t be over-emphasised. Where he tries to shut down the flow of information, it is our job as Christians to make sure those flows are re- opened. We have to get the gospel out into the public domain.

- Sought new ways to reassert the authority of the Catholic church.
- Dominated by the Society of Jesus / Jesuits
Lopez de Recalde or Ignatius de Loyola – Founder of the “Society of Jesus” the Jesuit Order and the Illuminati. He was the first Jesuit General. Because he strengthened the Roman Papacy, he was declared a “saint” in 1622. The Jesuit General is referred to as the “Black Pope.” REMEMBER… the Jesuits ARE NOT a religious but a military order!
"When it was beginning to leak out that Loyola founded the Illuminati, the Jesuits used another faithful member by the name of Adam Weishaupt (Under the Extreme Oath and Induction) to pretend to leave the Jesuit order and pretend to be originator of the lluminati on May 1, 1776. This was done to make the world believe that there is no connection between the Illuminati and the Roman Catholic system." - Dr. Alberto Rivera, ex-Jesuit priest http://thedayofthelord.info/Jesuit%20Oath%20&%20Inquisition.html

Although the Congregation of the Holy Office of the Inquisition was established in 1542 by Pope Paul III and administered by the Dominican monks, it was Ignatius de Loyola’s foresight and contact with the occult that energized and infused the Inquisition with new power and direction. As the first Jesuit General, or 'Black Pope,' [The Jesuit General tells the pope what to do as was revealed by Dr. Rivera, an ex-Jesuit priest, in the Alberto Series] Loyola, built a following through his ‘spiritual exercises.’ Loyola appealed to his ‘would be’ converts through philosophy, metaphysics, logic, psychoanalysis, psychology, hypnosis, telepathy, parapsychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy. http://thedayofthelord.info/Jesuit%20Oath%20&%20Inquisition.html

All Jesuits would have to go through these exercises:
- Must cut off all normal human emotions.
- Includes systematic meditation, prayer, contemplation, visualization and illumination which lead to a trance-like state of ecstasy.
- Seen to levitate off the floor.
- Takes 30 days to break the will and reasoning, the mind.
- The Jesuit becomes utterly obedient in all things.
- Then they are brainwashed in further training.
Jesuit constitution allows the Jesuit superiors can tell a Jesuit to sin in the name of Jesus if they feel "the end justifies the means" or if they feel "it leads to the greater glory of God".
" I will believe that the white that I see is black if the hierarchical church so defines it." - Ignatius Loyola

On either side stands a monk, one of whom holds a banner of yellow and white, which are the Papal colours, and the other a black banner with a dagger and red cross above a skull and crossbones, with the word INRI, and below them the words "IUSTUM NECAR REGES IMPIUS." The meaning of which is: "It is just to exterminate or annihilate impious or heretical Kings, Governments, or Rulers."
Taking Jesuit Oath : Holding black crucifix
Oath taker and Superior holding dagger against the heart
Upon the floor is a red cross at which the postulant or candidate kneels. The Superior hands him a small black crucifix, which he takes in his left hand and presses to his heart, and the Superior at the same time presents to him a dagger, which he grasps by the blade and holds the point against his heart, the Superior still holding it by the hilt, and thus addresses the postulant:
(The Superior speaks: )
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 plant insidiously the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and to 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 labours 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:
(Text of the Oath: )
I_______________ , now in the presence of Almighty God, the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the saints, sacred host of Heaven, and to you, my Ghostly Father, the superior general of the Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, in the pontification 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 the virtue of the keys of binding and loosing given to His Holiness by my Saviour, Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose heretical Kings, Princes, States, Commonwealths, and Governments, and they may be safely destroyed. Therefore to the utmost of my power I will defend this doctrine and His Holiness's right and custom against all usurpers of the heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Lutheran Church of Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and the now pretended authority and Churches of England and Scotland, and the branches of same now established in Ireland and on the continent of America and elsewhere and all adherents in regard that they may be usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome. I do now denounce and disown any allegiance as due to any heretical king, prince or State, named Protestant or Liberal, or obedience to any of their laws, magistrates or officers. I do further declare the doctrine of the Churches of England and Scotland of the Calvinists, Huguenots, and others of the name of Protestants or Masons to be damnable, and they themselves to be damned who will not forsake the same. I do further declare that I will help, assist, and advise all or any of His Holiness's agents, in any place where I should be, in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Ireland or America, or in any other kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my utmost to extirpate the heretical Protestant or Masonic doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, legal or otherwise. I do further promise and declare that, notwithstanding, I am dispensed with to assume any religion heretical for the propagation of the Mother Church's interest; to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels from time to time, as they entrust me, and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing or circumstances whatever; but to execute all that should be proposed, given in charge, or discovered unto me by you, my Ghostly Father, or any of this sacred order. 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 will go to any part of the world whithersoever I may be sent, to the frozen regions north, jungles of India, to the centres of civilisation 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 is communicated to me. 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 extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor 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 their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honour, rank, dignity or authority of the 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 agents of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus. In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I will subscribe my name written in my 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 feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly be opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth, and my soul shall be tortured by demons in eternal hell forever. That I will in voting always vote for a Knight of Columbus in preference to a Protestant, especially a Mason, and that I will leave my party so to do; that if two Catholics are on the ticket I will satisfy myself which is the better supporter of Mother Church and vote accordingly. That I will not deal with or employ a Protestant if in my power to deal with or employ a Catholic. That I will place Catholic girls in Protestant families that a weekly report may be made of the inner movements of the heretics. That 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 the militia of the Pope. All of which I,_______________, do swear by the blessed Trinity and blessed sacrament which I am now to receive to perform and on part to keep this my oath. In testimony hereof, I take this most 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 seal in the face of this holy sacrament. (He receives the wafer from the Superior andwrites his name with the point of his dagger dipped in his own blood taken from over his heart.)

(Superior speaks:)
You will now rise to your feet and I will instruct you in the Catechism necessary to make yourself known to any member of the Society of Jesus belonging to this rank. In the first place, you, as a Brother Jesuit, will with another mutually make the ordinary sign of the cross as any ordinary Roman Catholic would; then one crosses his wrists, the palms of his hands open, and the other in answer crosses his feet, one above the other; the first points with forefinger of the right hand to the centre of the palm of the left, the other with the forefinger of the left hand points to the centre of the palm of the right; the first then with his right hand makes a circle around his head, touching it; the other then with the forefinger of his left hand touches the left side of his body just below his heart; the first then with his right hand draws it across the throat of the other, and the latter then with a dagger down the stomach and abdomen of the first. The first then says Iustum; and the other answers Necar; the first Reges; the other answers Impious. The first will then present a small piece of paper folded in a peculiar manner, four times, which the other will cut longitudinally and on opening the name Jesu will be found written upon the head and arms of a cross three times. You will then give and receive with him the following questions and answers:

Jesuit Deception
Jesuit Deception
Key Point:
1. The end justifies the means - By this maxim, anything is allowed if it achieves the right end. ( This concept also exists in Islam)
Jesuit [Self] Deception:
1. No Personal Responsibility: Can sin or even kill and not be held responsible even before God. The sin can even become holy if it achieves the right results.
2. The End Justifies The Means:
3. Probablism - If Jesuit can find the merest hint that his action may not be wrong, he can go forward this action ( self-deception)
4. Directing The Intention: - If the person meditates on something holy whole they do evil, then the soul remains innocent.
5. Equivocation or Mental Reservation: Allows a Jesuit to follow a secret policy while stating something different to others. Includes use of ambiguous statements to deceive or even lying and then adding an additional phrase or statement under his breath or in his minding which then makes his statement true. ie Did you murder this man on Thursday? "No I did not murder this man." ( then in his mind: " . . . on Friday."

The Suppression of the Jesuits in the 18th Century
http://www.thebibleistheotherside.org/newsitem25.htm
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 [the Jesuits] 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.
Even though they had been suppressed, they continued to exist in various Roman Catholic lands, but secretly. Officially, they were dissolved for 41 years, until Pope Pius VII re-established them in 1814. Various Popish nations, however, continued to banish them in the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, they continued to expand their influence everywhere – including such non-Romanist nations as Britain, where they were ceaselessly working to destroy Protestantism, and to reverse the political effects of the Reformation. They were numerous in England by the mid-nineteenth century. The Italian statesman, the Marquis d’Azeglio, warned the Earl of Shaftesbury in 1859: “We have got rid of the Jesuits in Italy so far as human power can, but England is swarming with them, and before long you will feel the effects of their presence.” How true his words have proved!
A Lamp In The Dark: Enter The Jesuits
The most evil society took the name of Jesus and sought to exterminate Protestants and their Bibles. the Pope commissioned a company of priests to act as a military order within the Catholic Church. Their purpose was to oppose the impact of the Protestant Reformation and discover ways to destroy its influence. The priests were named the Society of Jesus -- a.k.a. the Jesuits. Throughout their history, they have been known as the most nefarious and diabolical order ever assembled. Yet few Christians in modern times are aware of their activities and how they affect the Church today.
