Synopsis

A provocative historical study tracing the origins, aims, and methods of the Society of Jesus.

It presents a critical view of the Jesuits as a global order with a strict hierarchy and a long record of influence across education, politics, and religion.

The book compiles accounts from the 16th to the 19th century to argue that the Society pursued power through strategic education, international networks, and dramatic adaptability, often beyond the tolerances of other church or state actors. It aims to illuminate how this order has shaped historical events and public life.

• Understand the early formation and vows of the Jesuit order.
• Explore how the Jesuits are portrayed as using education to extend influence.
• See examples of their activities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas as presented in the text.
• Learn about the responses of various governments and institutions to their presence.

Ideal for readers of religious history and 19th‑century polemical works seeking a critical perspective on a powerful order.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Secret Instructions of the Jesuits: In Latin and English

This work is presented to the American people in the hope that it will aid in the good work of enlightenment, and help in preserving and purifying our Republican institutions from the blighting influences of foreign ecclesiasticism, which, under the guise of religion, has corrupted and polluted every country and people wherever permitted to establish itself.

Americans, heed the warning ere it be too late. Romanism and Jesuitism are inseparable; where one is there the other may be found secretly working to subvert and enslave.

Read this book; help spread it throughout the land that our countrymen may be forewarned - "forewarned is fore-armed."

The proceeds from the sales of this work are devoted to the spread of the Gospel among Roman Catholics, and unmasking the true aims and purposes of the Roman hierarchy - the destruction of our Public school system, and the establishment of Romanism as a State religion in America to the exclusion of all others.
