FINAL WARNING: Setting the Stage for Destruction
While the Dominicans worked publicly, the Jesuits worked secretly.
They had planned the massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572 that killed
70,000 Huguenots (French Protestants, who later established the
Reformed Church of France). Carried out by Dominican monks and
Roman Catholic troops, most of the French Christian leaders were
killed, which practically stopped the Christian movement in France. To
celebrate, the Pope ordered the Rosary said in every church to thank
the Virgin Mary for victory, and had a medal struck to commemorate
the occasion.In England, Jesuit priests translated Origen’s Alexandrian manuscripts
into English in 1582, but the new Bible was rejected. Some researchers
feel that this was the real reason behind the attack of the Spanish
Armada in 1588. Spain’s mighty fleet was defeated. The Jesuit
movement grew, and by 1626, there were 15,000 members; and by
1749, over 22,000. It became the largest single Roman Catholic Order.On June, 1773, Pope Clement XIV (1769-75), pressured by France,
Spain, and Portugal, said that the group was “immoral and a menace
to the Church and the Faith,” and abolished the Order. In Germany, the
government established a Commission to liquidate and inventory
Jesuit assets. Councilor Zuytgens was appointed to inventory all
articles at their college in Ruremonde, and to forward all documents to
the government. He discovered the Secreta Monita, which was
recorded in the “Protocol of the Transactions of the Committee
Appointed in Consequence of the Suppression of the Society of Jesus
in the Low Countries” which is on file in the archives in Brussels. The
book contained secret instructions for the Jesuits, and its leaders, and
warned against its discovery, because of people getting the wrong
idea about the Order.The Jesuits continued to operate secretly, establishing their
headquarters in Russia. It is believed that they survived by joining
Masonic lodges. Napoleon had Pope Pius VII (1800-23) jailed at
Avignon until he agreed to reinstate the Jesuits, and at the Congress
of Vienna (1814-15) the demand for their services, allegedly to “make
America Catholic,” led Pope Pius VII to reestablish the Order.In 1302, Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303) said: “We declare, affirm, and
