Good evening and welcome to the Investigative Journal radio show.
And as a public service, we interrupt our daily broadcast schedule periodically to
present continuing online audio educational courses.
The purpose of these audio courses is to present vital material or hidden
historical truths kept from the American people and kept from the people of the
world that are normally presented in a sporadic manner on the internet.
You know what I'm talking about.
You can get them in many places, but no one's sure of the validity or
whether they're reading the truth or not.
But instead now, the Investigative Journal is proud to present these online
educational courses and we thank the Liberty Radio Network for allowing this to
occur.
Instead, we are going to be placing this information in an organized educational
course structure, the type you may find in a normal university in America.
The courses you will listen to and subscribe to into the future are not of
the normal nature.
You will not find any of these courses taught in the universities of higher
learning and that is the reason that this online course and these courses are going
to be presented.
First of all, the main topic of this whole idea that we're presenting online is to
really find out the hidden truths, find out about the inner workings of the
New World Order and how Americans can get vital information in an educational,
organized manner from people who are experts in their fields.
The subjects that we're going to be talking about are highly volatile,
many times hidden, many times suppressed by all educational facilities in our
country and also media outlets.
It is time to move away from entertainment and to again research the real problems
facing America in all areas of entertainment, all areas of our media,
all areas of our government, all areas of our religious organizations.
And tonight we are presenting a course that Professor Eric Phelps will present
and he's going to take over for two hours and the course is going to be presented in
a three-part manner.
Two hours tonight, two hours tomorrow evening, and two hours Wednesday night.
And the course is the introductory course on the understanding of the Jesuit Order.
The course will entail three areas, that is you will be able to listen to it
live of course, you can be able to listen to it on Liberty Radio archives,
and in the future it will be placed on my online educational internet site that I
will have.
And when you get those archives, you'll be able to have course
restrictions, you'll have course duties, you'll be able to listen to your audios,
and then participate in an online blog as well as write essays and do different
things so that we can begin to talk about these subjects in a serious manner.
As our counterparts do in other areas such that they consider to be the truth.
The first course, like I said, is presented tonight by Eric John Phelps.
He will take over for two hours, it will be presented in this manner.
He will talk until the bottom of the hour where we'll take a three minute break to
recognize the people that are supporting this online type of educational process.
He will then come back and continue the course, and at the top of the hour take a
two minute break to do the same, and then repeat that for the second hour.
Tonight is part one, tomorrow will be part two, and Wednesday part three.
I am your moderator, Greg Szymanski, and now I turn the show over to Eric John
Phelps.
Eric, it's all yours.
Pleasure to be with you Greg and your listeners tonight.
Greg and I feel that it is incumbent upon us to set forth the history of the papacy,
namely its dark ages, and the power of the popes at the time over the political
governments, the kings and queens of Europe, as well as the Far East,
and then the ensuing Reformation, the Protestant Reformation beginning in
1517 when Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to All Saints Church in Wittenberg,
and then the resultant Counter-Reformation started by Loyola.
And it is in this flow and stream of history that we can better understand the
power and purpose of the Jesuit Order and its power today, so that it doesn't look
like we have pulled the Jesuit Order as a genie out of our hat and decided to blame
it for all the way the world is in this particular situation now, especially in
the U.S.
So in order to understand the Jesuit Order, we have to go back several
centuries prior to its establishment and see the power of the popes during the dark
ages.
In my book, Wounded in the House of My Friends, I have an extra CD to that kit
that has 13 old books on it.
One of those old books is titled The History of Romanism by John Dowling.
It is a classic.
It was finished in 1845.
It is full of verve and vigor, written by a man who believed the Word of
God and truly was a Christian gentleman who's master and Lord was the Lord Jesus
Christ of the Scriptures.
And with all of this understanding that he had from the Scriptures, he dug out this
history from some of the greatest historians of the past like Hallam and H
.C.
Lee and others, Rank, Diabny and others.
And he puts all of this in a wonderful narration that extends, I would say,
in excess of 700 pages.
But it is all on my CD there and what I am reading to you tonight, you will be able
to read along with as you obtain a copy of my book with its attached CD, which is
free.
So to begin with, we will start with the Dark Ages.
And there are two popes that we wish to remember that at the meridian of papal
power, these popes exercised a power that was absolute, that was unfettered and we
stand in astonishment as we look at what they claim to be.
The first pope is Hildebrand, who came to power in 1073.
The second pope is Innocent III, who came to power a couple of centuries
later.
He was the reigning pope in 1215.
At the time he condemned the Magna Charta in England.
It began to be the real charter of rights for English freemen.
So we shall begin with Endowings History of Romanism on page 240, concerning this
pope called Hildebrand, or later Gregory VII.
Hildebrand was a man of uncommon genius, whose ambition in forming the most arduous
projects was equaled by his dexterity in bringing them into execution.
Suggestive, crafty, and intrepid, nothing could escape his penetration,
defeat his stratagems, or daunt his courage.
Haughty and arrogant beyond all measure, obstinate, impetuous, and intractable,
he looked up to the summit of universal empire.
I repeat, universal empire, with a wishful eye, and labored up to the steep ascent
with uninterrupted ardor and invincible perseverance.
Void of all principle, and destitute of every pious and virtuous feeling,
he suffered little restraint in his audacious pursuits from the dictates of
religion or the remonstrances of conscience.
Such was the character of Hildebrand, and his conduct was every way suitable to
it, for no sooner did he find himself in the papal chair than he displayed to the
world the most odious marks of his tyrannic ambition.
Not contented to enlarge the jurisdiction, and to augment the opulence of the sea of
Rome, he labored indefatigably to render the universal church subject to the
despotic government and the arbitrary power of the pontiff alone, to dissolve
the jurisdiction which kings and emperors had hitherto exercised over the various
orders of the clergy, and to exclude them from all part of the management or
distribution of the revenues of the church.
Nay, this outrageous pontiff went still farther, and impiously attempted to submit
to his jurisdiction the emperors, kings, and princes of the earth,
and to render their dominions tributary to the sea of Rome.
We'll pause for a few comments here.
We see that Hildebrand was a genius.
We must attribute this to many popes.
They are brilliant.
They are intellectual geniuses.
They have visions and dreams of fulfilling what they desire, which is universal
spiritual power and universal temporal power.
We must not forget that in 606, the pope was given universal spiritual
power, and 150 years later, in 756, he was given universal temporal power by
Pepin.
So, as a result of this, every pope thereon and thereafter sought to enhance
and enlarge these two powers.
These two powers are represented on the papal flag that any of you can see if you
go by any Roman Catholic school, or in my nearby area, a Jesuit church.
One of the flags they fly is the papal flag, which is a crown of the pope,
a triple crown, with two keys crossed, each key symbolizing the powers of the
pope.
The first being his universal spiritual power, that every creature is to be
subject to the spiritual power of the pope.
And the other key is his universal temporal power, that every king,
that every military dictator, that every president, that every prime minister is to
be subject to his rule.
It is these two powers that the papacy works with all of their might,
day and night, in conspiracy against all the governments of man, to establish
making the white pope, or the pope that is visible dressed in white, the universal
monarch of the world.
And this is the foundation, this is the theological foundation, for what we call
today the New World Order.
The New World Order is nothing more than the reversion back to the Old World Order,
which was the dark ages of the papacy, or what Dowling calls the Iron Age of Man.
Continuing on page 240 of Dowling's History of Romanism, we read, quote,
The views of Hildebrand, or Hellbrand, as from his insane ambition he has been
appropriately styled, were not confined to the erection of an absolute and universal
monarchy in the church.
They aimed also at the establishment of a civil monarchy, equally extensive and
despotic.
And this aspiring pontiff, after having drawn up a system of ecclesiastical
canons, canons being laws or statutes, for the government of the church,
would have introduced also a new code of political laws, had he been permitted to
execute the plan he had formed.
His purpose was, says Mosheim, Mosheim was a premier Protestant
historian, and one of his works was the History of the Church by Mosheim,
and so Mosheim says here, To engage in the bonds of fidelity and allegiance to St.
Peter, i.e., to the Roman Pontiffs, all the kings and princes of the earth,
and to establish at Rome an annual assembly of bishops, by whom the contests
that might arise between kingdoms of sovereign states were to be decided,
the rights and pretensions of princes to be examined, and the fate of nations and
empires to be determined.
Making this in simple language, the Pope, or Helbrand, claimed that he had
the right to a universal monarchy in the earth, that he was the one to establish
that monarchy, and that any problems between monarchs in their various kingdoms
or sovereign states were to be decided by himself.
Dear listener, do you understand why the Pope now has an honorary chair in the
United Nations?
It is here that he claims he has the right to decide the fate of nations,
the future of wars, the decision of how the Cold War will be waged, and while
always under the guise of calling for peace, when in fact he is the mover and
shaker of every war, at least since the beginning of the Counter-Reformation in
1540 with the establishment of the Jesuit Order.
So here we have this most notorious Pope, Hildebrand, with these powers that he
claims.
Now we are going to see an example of this power over one of the Holy Roman Emperors
of Europe, whose name was Henry IV.
We now will begin reading page 241.
The contest which Gregory carried on for several years with the unfortunate Emperor
Henry IV, affords an instructive comment upon the deep-laid plans of this most
imperious and ambitious Pope.
Soon after his election, Gregory was informed that Solomon, King of Hungary
dethroned by his brother Gatia, had fled to Henry for protection and
renewed the homage of Hungary to the Empire.
Gregory, who favored Gatia, exclaimed against this act of submission and said in
a letter to Solomon, You ought to know that the Kingdom of Hungary belongs to the
Roman Church.
I repeat, that the Kingdom of Hungary belongs to the Roman Church, and learn
that you will incur the indignation of the Holy See if you do not acknowledge that
you hold your dominions of the Pope and not of the Emperor.
So what Hildebrand was saying to this Gatia, that you hold your kingdom not from
Henry IV, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, of the First Reich, the First
German Reich, but you hold it as a matter of privilege from the Pope.
This holds today.
This doctrine is as much in effect today as it was back then in the 11th century.
This is why when F.
Kennedy refused to be governed by the Pope of Rome, when he publicly declared this in
1960, when he repudiated the temporal power of the Pope, this is when the
Jesuits set out for his assassination, and this was in 1960, before he had been
elected President.
He had had the Democratic nomination, and he met before a series of Protestant
ministers in Houston, Texas, and when he publicly said that no Pope will tell any
American President how to rule the affairs of state, he repudiated this temporal
power, which Hildebrand had so championed, and thereby incurred the wrath of the
papacy, because in the eyes of Pope Paul VI, John F.
Kennedy held the American Presidency by extension of the Pope of Rome.
We continue now with Dowling's narration.
This presumptuous declaration, and the neglect it meant with,
brought the quarrel between the Empire and the Church to a crisis.
Now we have a quarrel between Hildebrand and Henry IV.
It was directed to Solomon, but intended for Henry, and if Gregory could not
succeed in one way, he was resolved that he would in another.
He therefore resumed the claim of investitures, for which he had a more
plausible pretense, and as that dispute and its consequences merit particular
attention, we shall relate briefly the origin and history of this protracted
quarrel between the Pope and the Emperors.
The investiture of bishops and abbots commenced, undoubtedly at that period of
time when the European emperors, kings and princes, made grants to the
clergy, that is not done anymore by the way, of certain territories, lands,
forests, castles, etc.
According to the laws of those times, laws which still remain in force as of
1845, none were considered as lawful possessors of the lands or tenements which
they derived from the emperors or other princes before they repaired to court,
took the oath of allegiance to their respective sovereigns as supreme
proprietors, and received from their hands a solemn mark by which the property of
their respective grants was transferred to them.
Such was the manner in which the nobility and those who had distinguished themselves
by military exploits were confirmed in the possessions which they owed to the
liberality of their sovereigns.
But the custom of investing the bishops and abbots with the ring and the cross
here, which are the ensigns of the sacred function, is of a much more recent date,
and was then first introduced when the European emperors and princes assumed to
themselves the power of conferring on whom they pleased the bishoprics and abbots
that became vacant in their dominions, nay, even of selling them to the highest
bidder.
This power, then, being once usurped by the kings and priests of Europe,
they at first confirmed the bishops and abbots in their dignities and possessions
with the same forms of ceremonies that were used in investing the counts,
knights, and others in their feudal tenures, even by written contracts,
in the ceremony of presenting them with a wand or bough.
And this custom of investing the clergy and the laity with the same ceremonies
would have undoubtedly continued had not the clergy to whom the right of electing
bishops and abbots originally belonged eluded artfully the usurpation of the
emperors and other princes by the following stratagem.
Now watch this stratagem here.
Remember, here are bishops and abbots receiving their right to rule by the
sovereigns.
This is going to end with Hildebrand.
Hildebrand is going to take this power and he is going to usurp it over Henry IV.
We go now to section 8.
Considering the character of Gregory VII, or Hildebrand, it is no wonder that he
could ill brook this conduct of the emperors and thus securing to themselves
the right of confirming the election of bishops by the ceremony of investing them
with the ring and the crozier.
Accordingly, we find that in 1075 Gregory assembled a council at Rome in which he
excommunicated certain favors of Henry and pronounced a formal anathema, or curse,
against whoever received the investiture of a bishopric or abbacy from the hands of
a layman, namely an emperor, as also against those by whom the investiture
should be performed.
This decree was doubtless aimed chiefly at the emperor, who strenuously insisted on
his asserted right of investiture, which his predecessors had enjoyed.
As Henry continued to disregard the Pope's decree, Gregory sent two legates to summon
him to appear before him as a delinquent, because he still continued to bestow
investitures, notwithstanding the apostolic decree to the contrary,
adding that if he should fail to yield obedience to the Church, he must expect to
be excommunicated and dethroned.
I repeat, that if he should fail to yield obedience to the Church, he must expect to
be excommunicated and dethroned.
This is now a classic example of the Popes exercising their temporal power.
Incensed at that arrogant message from one whom he considered as his vassal,
Henry dismissed the legates with very little ceremony, and convoked an assembly
of all the German princes and dignified ecclesiastics at Worms, where,
after mature deliberation, they concluded that Gregory having usurped the chair of
St. Peter by indirect means, infected the Church of God with many novelties and
abuses, and deviated from his duty to his sovereign in several scandalous attempts,
the Emperor, by that supreme authority derived from his predecessors,
ought to divest him of his dignity and appoint another in his place.
So here now is the Holy Roman Emperor deciding to get rid of the Pope.
And the Pope now has told the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV, you are going to be
subject to me because if you are not I am going to excommunicate you.
So here is a classic war that we as historians and as all American people must
remember as a classic example of history.
Watch the outcome of this.
Between Hildebrand, who is Gregory VII, and the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV.
Henry immediately dispatched an ambassador to Rome with a formal deprivation of
Gregory, who in his turn convoked a council, at which were present 110
bishops, who unanimously agreed that the Pope had just caused to depose Henry,
to dissolve the oath of allegiance which the princes and states had taken in his
favor, and to prohibit them from holding any correspondence with him on pain of
excommunication.
So now they could not even talk to the Emperor.
And that sentence was immediately fulminated against the Emperor and his
adherents.
Quote, in the name of almighty God and by your authority, said Gregory, alluding to
the members of the council, I prohibit Henry, the son of our Emperor Henry,
from governing the Teutonic Kingdom, namely Germany and Italy, and I release
all Christians, namely Roman Catholics, from their oath of allegiance to him and I
strictly forbid all persons from serving or attending him as king.
Unquote.
Thus, says Hallam, Gregory VII obtained the glory of leaving all his predecessors
behind, all the previous Popes behind, and astonishing mankind by an act of
audacity and ambition, which the most emulous of his successors could hardly
surpass.
So what the Pope has done is he has relieved all the citizens and subjects of
Henry IV from their allegiance to him and no longer have to obey him as their
sovereign.
The first impulses of Henry's mind on hearing the denunciation were indignation
and resentment.
But like other inexperienced and misguided sovereigns, he had formed an erroneous
calculation of his own resources.
A conspiracy long prepared, of which the Dukes of Swabia and Carithia were the
chiefs, began to manifest itself.
Some were alienated by his vices, and others jealous of his family.
The rebellious Saxons took courage, the bishops, intimidated by
excommunications, withdrew from his side, and he suddenly found himself almost in
salt insulated in the midst of his dominions.
In this desertion he had recourse.
Through panic to a miserable expedient, he crossed the Alps with the avowed
determination of submitting and seeking absolution from the Pope.
Gregory was at Canasa, a fortress near Regio belonging to his faithful adherent,
the Countess Matilda, in A.D.
1077.
It was in a winter of universal severity.
The Emperor was admitted, without his guards, into the outer court of the
castle, and three successive days remained, from morning till evening,
in a woollen shirt and with naked feet, while Gregory, shut up with the tender and
loving Countess, wonder what they were doing, refused to admit him to his
presence.
So here is the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV, for three days and three nights,
outside, barefoot, in the snows of Rome, as he crossed the Alps into Rome,
and now he is to submit to the Pope, through this most humiliating decision of
Hildebrand.
We continue...
At length, after continuing through three days, in the cold month of January,
barefoot and fasting, the humbled Emperor was admitted into the palace, and allowed
the superlative honor of kissing the Pope's toe.
I repeat, of the superlative honor of kissing the Pope's toe.
The haughty Pontiff condescended to grant him absolution, but only upon condition of
appearing on a certain day to learn the Pope's decision, whether or not he should
be restored to his kingdom, until which time the Pope forbade him to wear the
ornaments or to exercise the functions of royalty.
Intoxicated with his triumph, Gregory now regarded himself as lord and master of all
the crowned heads of Christendom, or namely, the Roman Catholic Holy Roman
Empire, as the Protestant Reformation did not exist, and the true Christians were in
the Alps attempting to preserve their lives from the swords of France and
Germany, and boasted in his letters that it was his duty, quote, to pull down the
pride of kings, unquote.
Dear listener, this is a classic example of the Pope enforcing his temporal power,
and this was the beginning of this horrible enforcement that has continued to
this day, and it was truly first begun by Hildebrand, or surnamed Hellbrand,
whose papal name was Gregory VII.
So let us remember this lesson of Gregory VII, how he humiliated Henry IV,
because we are also going to understand how this has been done to American
presidents, how this was done to Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, FDR...

Okay, we return now to our examination of the Dark Ages.
This is Brother Eric John Phelps, author of Vatican Assassins.
The website is www.VaticanAssassins.org.
The book I offer is Vatican Assassins, Wounded in the House of My Friends,
1836 pages, over 700 pages.
Pictures and portraits, many, many different sources that have been used to
paint the picture of papal power through the establishment of the Jesuit order and
their present control of the nations of the world, especially the assassination of
JFK, and now the Jesuit order's war on terror that is not only waged against the
Muslim peoples controlling, they controlling, the Jesuits controlling the
Muslim leaders, but also specifically waged against the American peoples.
In an attempt to destroy the last vestiges of the Protestant Reformation here.
But to understand this and to appreciate what the Jesuits are up to now,
we have to understand somewhat the Dark Ages, the Reformation, and the
Counter-Reformation.
So we will continue after we have now described Hildebrand and his submission of
Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, we will now examine Innocent III and his submission of
King John of England.
I'm reading from the History of Romanism, Poetry of the World's Despot, A.D.
1073-1303.
I'll now read about Hildebrand, or Innocent III.
And by the way, the Jesuits seek to put a Pope on the throne that will be just as
vicious, just as absolute, as Innocent III, because there is a book written
called The Dark Ages, the 13th century, the greatest of centuries.
And that is what the Jesuits wish to restore the world to.
In the 13th century, it was Innocent III who was the most notable, the most evil,
the most wicked, the most heartless of the Popes.
Page 279 of Dowling's History of Romanism.
The most remarkable exhibition of priestly tyranny and successful papal arrogance
that has ever occurred in Great Britain, and perhaps in the world, was that which
signalized the pontificate of Innocent III, a Pope that carried out the policy of
Hildebrand to an unprecedented extent in his treatment of the Kingdom of England
and its weak and contemptible King John in the early part of the 13th century.
It is just a remark by the historian of the Middle Ages that, quote, the
pontificate of Innocent III may be regarded as the meridian or noonday of
papal usurpation.
We must repeat that.
And the historian is the great Howland of the Middle Ages.
It's a classic on the Middle Ages.
Quote, the pontificate of Innocent III may be regarded as the meridian or noonday of
papal usurpation.
End quote.
In each of the three leading objects which Rome had pursued, namely, independent
sovereignty, supremacy over the Christian, or really, in fact, the Roman Catholic
Church, and control over the princes of the earth, get that, control over the
princes of the earth, it was the fortune of this pontiff to conquer.
The maxims of Gregory VII, or Hildebrand, were now matured by more than a hundred
years, and the right of trampling upon the necks of kings had been received,
at least among churchmen, as an inherent attribute of the papacy.
Quote, as the sun and the moon are placed in the firmament, unquote, says the
pontiff, quote, the greater as the light of the day and the lesser of the night,
thus are there two powers in the church, the pontifical, which, as having the
charge of souls, is the greater, and the royal, which is the less,
and to which the bodies of men only are entrusted, unquote.
This is the definition of the spiritual and the temple power.
It talks, and thus there are two powers in the church, the pontifical, which is
having the charge of souls, that's the spiritual power, one of the keys,
displayed on the papal flag, is the greater, so therefore Rome exalts the
spiritual power the most, because you see, before they can get you to submit to the
pope's temple power, to get you to organize your affairs in your home
pursuant to what the pope wants, to make you run your country as the way
the pope wants, before you submit in temple things, you must first submit in
spiritual things.
So if you are submitted to the spiritual power of the pope, that there is no
salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church, that the pope is in fact God
manifest in the flesh, that he is God on earth, that he is the vicar of Jesus
Christ on earth, that if you submit to these lies, if you submit to this fakery
of his spiritual power, you most assuredly will submit to his temple power.
That is why it is so imperative that you have a bible in your hand and that you
read it, because if you believe that book, that book of God, the word of God,
the protestant bible, the AB 1611, you will in fact not submit to the temple
power of the pope.
Your country will never be governed by the papacy, because a bible reading people
cannot be enslaved.
And notice I am not talking about any particular protestant or baptist church.
I am talking about individuals who read the bible.
That is why the Jesuits, in control of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, in the person
of that stinking, ungodly, wicked, apostate, Lutheran protestant,
by the name of Earl Warren, who was the Chief Justice of the American Supreme
Court in 1963, kicked out bible reading and prayer from our public schools.
By doing that, he secured papal ascendancy over our politics in this country.
And Earl Warren was a beloved son of the papacy, in secret, by way of his 33rd
degree, Toronto Freemasonry, and thus, in taking his command from the Jesuits at
Georgetown University, removed the bible from our public schools, and thus secured
the Jesuits the ability to rule us spiritually, and thereby, our government,
its temple power.
We will go on now, to Dowling, page 280, in his The History of Romanism.
If the clergy complain to him that the people, cut off from the offices of
religion, refuse to pay tithes, and go to hear the secretaries,
he consents that divine service shall be performed with closed doors, but denies
them the rights of the sepulchre.
So, in other words, the pope, at his pleasure, would place a kingdom under an
interdict.
An interdict is when the pope says, you no longer can perform marriages.
You priests can no longer perform marriages, you can no longer bury the
dead, and the commerce of the nation stops.
The 1929 stock market crash was, in fact, an interdict over American
commerce in this country, because three Irish Roman Catholics were the short
sellers of the 1929 crash.
Benjamin Strong, Tom Bragg, and the illustrious Knight of Malta, Joseph P.
Kennedy.
That's when they put our country under an interdict, commerce stopped, until the
pope of Rome had seized our gold by the way of FDR, and then commerce was resumed
with strictly paper currency and commercial instruments.
Because a commercial instrument in commerce is what the papacy calls an
indulgence.
Paper currencies are nothing more than indulgences from the pope of Rome to
engage in commerce.
They are backed by nothing.
They are redeemable by nothing.
They are only good by word of the government, because the government says
your paper dollar has done such and such amount, and the papal indulgence,
that piece of paper that was sold to individuals so they could sin,
and they would then present this indulgence back to a priest to cover for
his sins, as a payment for his sins.
All of this is commercial paper.
And thus we see what the 1929 stock market crash really was, it was an interdict.
So therefore the pope at his pleasure can place the kingdom under an interdict.
This also means it cannot bury the dead.
So when a country cannot bury its dead, it is now threatened with the bubonic
plague.
And so the kings and the leaders of those countries know that they better get out
underneath this interdict real quick, or we are going to have disease
everywhere.
So the popes then, by being able to put their country under an interdict back in
the dark ages here, could further their power and further the submission of the
kings of the nations of Europe.
So, we quote on...
And instantly public worship is suspended in the Catholic Church, and the dead lie
unburied.
So this is a power that Innocent III wielded.
Another thing that Innocent III did, is that he continued the crusades against
Islam.
And he therefore made lots of money in the continuance of these crusades,
in making Jerusalem safe for the pilgrims, blah, blah, blah.
When in fact he was depopulating the population of Europe, which was one of his
intents, aggrandizing to himself more wealth in the papal treasury, while at the
same time fighting his enemies, at the time Islam was the enemy of the
papacy, because it called the Pope infidel and refused to give Jerusalem to the Pope,
after the Pope had financed Mohammed and financed the Jihad, and financing the
spread of Islam throughout North Africa and into Spain.
So therefore this was Innocent III attempting to regain Jerusalem,
because the devil has always wanted Jerusalem for the papacy, so that the
papacy can rebuild the Hebrew temple in Jerusalem for itself.
Innocent III was the master at this.
This is what he wanted.
Innocent III also publicly condemned the Magna Charta.
After it was written, and a priest helped to write Magna Charta, his name was
Stephen Langdon.
Stephen Langdon was defrocked and excommunicated.
How dare any priest try to give any private rights to any individuals,
apart from them being privileges conferred by the papacy.
So the Innocent III was against all political power, true political power,
that would give any kind of liberty to any of the nation's subjects, specifically in
England.
And he was against any divesting of his spiritual power to any priests and
bishops.
He consolidated as much as he could into his own hands.
Continuing on now...
In a few words, it was this Innocent III who humiliated King John, who was the King
of England.
We read here...
The consequences of this terrific sentence are thus described by Mr. Hume.
The execution, says he, was calculated to strike the senses in the highest degree
and to operate the irresistible force on the superstitious minds of the people.
The nation was, of a sudden, deprived of all exterior exercise of its religion.
The altars were despoiled by their ornaments.
The crosses, the relics, the images, the statues of the saints were laid on the
ground, and as if the air itself were profaned and might pollute them by its
contact, the priests carefully covered them up, even from their own approach and
veneration.
This is when England was put under an interdict by Innocent III.
The use of bells entirely ceased in all the churches.
The bells themselves were removed from the steeples and laid on the ground with the
other sacred utensils.
Mass was celebrated with closed doors, and none but the priests were admitted to
the holy institution.
The laity partook of no religious rite except the communion to the dying.
The dead were not interred in consecrated ground.
They were thrown into ditches or buried in common fields, and their obsequies were
not attended with prayers or any hallowed ceremony.
Marriage was celebrated in the churchyard, and that very action in life might bear
the marks of this dreadful situation.
The people were prohibited the use of meat, as in Lent, or times of the highest
penance, were debarred from all pleasures and entertainments, and were forbidden
even to salute each other, that means say hello, or so much as to shave their beards
and give any decent attention to their apparel.
Every circumstance carried symptoms of the deepest distress, and of the most
immediate apprehension of the divine vengeance and indignation.
When this interdict had continued about two years, the Pope proceeded to step
further and pronounce the awful sentence of excommunication against King John,
which he commanded the bishops of London, Ely and Worcester, the most obsequious
tools, to publish in England.
These prelates, who then resided on the continent, sent copies of the sentence and
of the Pope's commands to publish it in their churches to the bishops and clergy
who remained in England.
But such was their dread of the royal indignation that none of them had the
courage to execute these commands.
Geoffrey, Archdeacon of Norquist, one of the King's judges, when sitting on
the bench in the Exchequer at Westminster, declared to the other judges that the King
was excommunicated and that he did not think it lawful for him to act any longer
in his name, for which declaration he was thrown into prison, where he soon died.
In the year 1211, the Pope sent two legates to England, whose names were
Pandolf and Durand.
These legates were admitted to an audience at a parliament, which was held at
Northampton, when the most violent altercation took place between them and
the King.
Pandolf plainly told the King, even in the face of his parliament,
that he was bound to obey the Pope in temples as well as spirituals.
Here we go with the temporal power and spiritual power.
And when John refused to submit to the will of His Holiness without reserve,
the legate, with shameless effrontery, published a sentence of excommunication
against him with a loud voice, absolving all his subjects from their
oaths of allegiance, degraded him from his royal dignity, and declared that neither
he nor any of his posterity should ever reign in England.
This was certainly carrying clerical indolence to the height of extravagance,
but in those unhappy times the meanest agents of the Pope insulted the greatest
princes with impunity.
Well, what happened?
The sentence of disposition against King John and excommunication against all who
should obey him or have any connection with him, when these sentences were known
in England, they began to excite the superstitious fears of some of the barons
who were at the same time much dissatisfied with the prince for his
impotent, illegal, and oppressive government.
John, having received intimations of this from various quarters, became not a little
alarmed and began to stagger at his resolution.
To render the sentence of deposition against King John effectual, the Pope
appointed Philip, King of France, to put it in execution and promised him
the pardon of all his sins and the kingdom of England for his reward, a temptation
which that prince had neither the wisdom nor virtue to resist.
Blinded by his ambition, he commanded a large army to assemble at Ruden and
prepared a fleet of seventeen hundred vessels to convey them to England.
All these preparations, however, only served to promote the purposes of the
court of Rome, for as soon as John was sufficiently intimidated by his dread of
the French army and his suspicions of his own subjects to induce him to make an
ignominious surrender of his crown and kingdom to the Pope, the French king was
obliged to abandon his enterprise against England to avoid the thunders of the
church, the dreadful effects of which he had before his eyes.
Now this, dear listener, is an example of the Pope using another nation against a
nation he chooses to punish.
This was done by Bill Clinton when he ordered the bombing of Serbia.
With seventy-two days of bombing of the Serbs, and after which the Serbs
submitted, the bombing was called off.
This is classic papal foreign policy carried out by the United States of
America, which I call in my book, the Pope's Holy Roman Fourteenth Amendment
corporate fascist socialist communist American empire.
Continuing, the trembling John now implored the protection of Rome,
whatever submission it might cost.
The legate assured him that the supreme pontiff would require nothing which was
not absolutely necessary either to the honor of the church or the safety of the
king himself.
He proposed, therefore, to withdraw the excommunication immediately, on condition
of John's promising to receive Langdon as archbishop, whose promotion to the primacy
had been the occasion of all the spurious contest, and all the bishops and clergy
who acknowledged him, and to indemnify them for all the damage they had
sustained.
To all this the king of England consented, but the consummation of ignominy was yet
to come.
Under the specious pretext of securing England from the attacks by Philip,
it was suggested to John to surrender his kingdoms to the Pope as to a lord
paramount, to swear fealty to him, to receive the British islands back as
fiefs of the Holy Sea, and to pay an annual tribute for them of 700 marks of
silver for England and 300 for Ireland.
On the 12th of May, 1213, John performed all the degrading ceremonials of
resignation, homage and fealty.
On his knees he humbly offered his kingdoms to the Pope, and put them into
the hands of the legate, Pandolf, who retained them for five days.
He offered his tribute, which the legate threw down and trampled on, but afterwards
condescended to gather up again.
So what we have here is the submission of King John of England to the Pope of Rome.
Absolutely disgusting, because in the Bible, in a subgotted institute of
sovereign nations, and sovereign nations are to be governed by the people of that
nation according to their desires, and they are not to be governed by the
papacy, by a foreign sovereign, thereby overthrowing the sovereignty of
that country.
A true Bible-believing Christian man is a patriot.
He sustains his sovereign nation.
He has an allegiance to his race, his language, his culture, and the
geographic boundaries of his nation, and he will die to sustain it.
That is a patriot.
This kind of patriotism, Rome overthrows.
This kind of nationalism, Rome overthrows.
And it overthrows it pursuant to canon law.
In concluding here, quote, In the engraving, which is a representation of
his scene, the humbled monarch is seen on his knees before the Pope's legate,
who has just received the crown from the hands of the king, and is trampling upon
the gold with the gift of which John accompanied his submission.
Some of the barons of England are looking on, grieved and indignant alike,
at the degradation of their weak-minded sovereign and the haughty and contemptuous
insolence.
Insolence of the triumphal priest.
Dear listener, this is exactly what Queen Elizabeth II does when she visits the
Pope.
In black, has an audience with him, kisses his ring.
She puts her kingdom, the United Kingdom, at the feet of the Pope, and then she
governs it according to the way the Pope wants her to do it.
This is England today, and this is America today.
The point of this all being is that the temporal power of the Pope never changes,
because his spiritual power never changes.
If you believe that there is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic institution,
then the logical conclusion of that belief is that there is only one way to govern
your country, and that is pursuant to the wishes of the Pope.
And that is exactly what George Bush has said.
He has said, and I quote it in my book, that he desires to put in place the
teachings of Pope John Paul II.
And that is exactly what he has done.
He has started a crusade, a papal crusade, and he is overthrowing the U.S.
Constitution, which is a Protestant document, and restoring Jesuit absolutism
over North America, as existed in Mexico and in Europe.
So, the doctrines of Rome never change, and when presidents serve Rome,
their foreign policies and domestic policies can be traced back to the Dark
Ages.
We now shall go to what we call the Protestant Reformation.
The Protestant Reformation was the light, the Lord's beginning of the beating down
of the Pope's temporal power.
And I will read a paragraph here, written by R.W.
Thompson, in his The Footprints of the Jesuits, written in 1894.
And he was the Secretary of the American Navy in the 1870s.
And he writes, quote, in the preface, In the times before the Reformation,
the temporal affairs of governments were required to conform to the commands of the
ecclesiastical authority, that is the Pope.
And it was held to be a necessary and essential part of religion, Romanism,
that this union should be continued, no matter what might be the degree of
popular ignorance and humiliation.
Dear listeners, the Pope does not believe in the separation of a legitimate
government and the power of the Church, of the papacy.
There is no such thing that exists under the doctrines of Rome.
The First Amendment, as written by the Baptist Calvinist, James Madison,
in the separation of a religious organization from a political government,
is a maxim of Baptist doctrine.
In fact, that is a Baptist distinctive.
So, Rome hates that.
Rome hates the First Amendment.
And so, Rome has very cleverly united the papacy with the American government
through a trusted third party, which is the Council on Foreign Relations.
So, we shall now begin with the Reformation as Luther meets Kate Kajetan.

Okay, this is Eric John Phelps.
Welcome back to this series that we are doing, Greg Szymanski and I.
And I'm the author of Vatican Assassins, which is in the house of my friends.
And we are now beginning to move out of the Dark Ages into the Protestant
Reformation.
A little bit of my own words...
The Dark Ages was an age of immorality.
The priests were very evil.
They had violated the people for centuries.
They knew that the priests were using the nuns for their own sexual proclivities.
They knew that the priests were manipulating the leaders of the towns and
cities and countries for their own benefit against the people.
There was no middle class.
Everybody was poverty stricken.
All there was was the poor majority people and the super rich priests and nobles.
And the nobles were at the beck and call of the priests because if they disobeyed,
they either got the King John treatment or the Henry IV treatment as we just
reviewed.
And so when they were teaching that there is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic
institution, that every human creature has to be subject to the Pope, they were
enslaved to a work salvation religion that they had to do thus and thus and thus,
go to confession, you name it.
And if they did all these things, they might make it.
And so they became slaves to this organized religion of the devil called the
Papacy, Roman Catholicism, with all of its canon law and doctrines of the Popes.
Well, what happened, God in his providence, and also by the way,
the Papacy had a raging inquisition.
They would arrest you at night, just as the NKVD would.
And take you off into prison and torture you, and torture a confession out of an
innocent person, after which you would be handed over to the secular arm to be
burned.
Stalin's NKVD functioned exactly, exactly like the Spanish and Roman
inquisitions.
In fact, in the Lubyanka, the Jesuits who ran the Lubyanka had brought in books from
the inquisitional libraries of the countries of Europe, so they could carry
out the same kind of tortures on the Russian people.
So what we have is a continuation of the Papacy in dark ages, underground today,
but back at this time it was open, and the inquisition was feared by all,
rich and poor.
All you had to do was be accused of heresy, and you could be arrested at night
with no witness.
And this is why we have our 4th and 5th Amendment, to prevent an inquisition from
happening again in this country.
So we are now going to review what happened, how God broke the power of the
Papacy in Europe, and He did it by getting His word into the language of the people.
The light of the Reformation, the new day star of the Reformation was Wycliffe,
when he began to put the old Latin Bible in the language of the English people.
But the Lord used Erasmus, put together the Greek Testament, and then Erasmus'
greatest student was William Tyndall.
William Tyndall, the father of the English Bible, was the man who did most of the
translation, and it was his works that were consulted later on by those who wrote
the Geneva Bible and the A.V.
1611.
And it was this William Tyndall who was the one who got the English Bible into the
Anglican Church, so the people once could read the Bible for themselves,
and they needed no priest to tell them what it meant.
And this was based upon a particular passage of Scripture in 1 Timothy 2,
verse 5.
There was one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
So as they began to read the Bible, and they heard it in their own language,
why then they realized they didn't need the priests anymore.
That they didn't need the Pope anymore.
That there was no need for work salvation anymore.
Because Romans 1.17 became paramount in their minds, and that was the verse of
Martin Luther.
And what is that?
The just shall live by faith.
In other words, you get justified before God by faith alone, and not any works that
you can possibly do.
So you are justified by faith alone.
And it was this revelation that caused Luther to come to the understanding that
he needed to be saved by the grace of God, and salvation was a gift not to be earned
by the edicts and decrees of the Pope.
So as Luther then began to preach the great doctrines of the Bible, and he began
to expose the great heresies of Rome, he now became the target for annihilation.
And now we shall view this wonderful and great life of Germany's greatest preacher,
Martin Luther.
And apart from this German, we would have no political freedom in the earth today.
It all springs from Martin Luther and his getting the Bible into the native language
of the German people, so that people could understand what God expected of them,
what God had to say about his son, and thus bringing repentance and faith in
Christ.
So we now go on page 452 of Dowling's The History of Romanism, under Popery on a
Tottering Throne.
We now begin section 85.
Before this letter of the Pope had reached Germany, and while Luther was still
fearing that he should be obliged to appear at Rome, a fortunate circumstance
occurred to comfort his heart.
He needed a friend into whose bosom he could pour out his sorrows, and whose
faithful love should comfort him in his hours of dejection.
God sent him such a friend in Melanchthon, who at the early age of 21 arrived at
Wittenberg to enter upon the duties of his professorship on the 25th of August,
just two days after the Pope had signed the brief institutions to Cardinal Cajetan
in the letter to the Elector of Saxony.
Which, by the way, that letter called Luther a child of iniquity and a despiser
of God.
The order of Luther's appearance at Augsburg before the Cardinal Legate at
length arrived.
It was now with one of the princes of the Roman Church that Luther had to do.
All his friends besought him not to set out.
They feared that a snare might be laid for him on his journey, or a design formed
against his life.
Some set about finding a place of concealment for him, and others from
different quarters gave him the most alarming information.
Count Albert of Mansfield sent him a message to abstain from setting out,
because some great nobles had bound themselves by an oath to seize and
strangle or drown him.
But nothing could shake his resolution.
Everywhere in the history of Luther, and of the Reformation, do we find
ourselves in the presence of that intrepid spirit, that elevated morality,
that boundless charity, which the first establishment of biblical Christianity had
exhibited to the world.
Quote, I am like Jeremiah, said Luther, at the moment we are speaking of,
a man of strife and contention.
But the more they increase their threatenings, the more they multiply my
joy.
My wife and children are well provided for.
My lands and houses and all my goods are safe.
They have already torn to pieces my honor and my good name.
All I have left is my wretched body.
Let them have it.
They will then shorten my life but a few hours.
But as to my soul, they shall not have that.
He who resolves to bear the word of Christ to the world must expect death at every
hour.
In accordance with this self-sacrificing spirit, Luther set out on foot on his
perilous journey to Augsburg, accompanied by two faithful friends, Link and Leonard,
and arrived at the monastery of the Augustins at that city on the 7th of
October.
In the following day, a crafty Italian courtier named Sierra Longa paid Luther a
visit to persuade the reformer to submission or to prepare him for his
interview with the cardinal legate.
The instructions given to Luther by this courtier of Rome are curious.
Quote, Remember, said he, that you are to appear before the prince of the church.
I will myself conduct you to him, but first let me tell you how you must
appear in his presence.
When you enter the room where he is sitting, you must prostrate yourself with
your face to the ground.
When he tells you to rise, you must kneel before him, and you must not stand erect
till he orders you so to do.
Unquote.
Luther had neglected to provide himself with a safe conduct.
His friends advised him by no means to appear before the legate without one,
as he would then be at the mercy of Cajetan.
But should he obtain such a document, the legate could not imprison or harm him
without persuading the emperor Maximilian to violate his faith.
They took upon themselves the task of obtaining the necessary safe conduct from
the emperor.
Cajetan's plan was, no doubt, to compel Luther, if possible, to retract.
And if he failed in that, to secure his person and to have him conveyed to Rome,
where he would doubtless have shared the fate of Hus and Jerome.
By the way, who were burned at the stake, and whose safe conduct was violated.
Hence, he was in hopes that Luther would apply for no safe conduct, but entrust
himself entirely to his mercy.
A safe conduct is like a pass, a passport, to pass through the Holy Roman
Empire with the protection of the emperor.
And this, by the way, Maximilian would do.
Cirolonga offered him to accompany Luther before the legate, but the reformer told
him of the advice of his Augsburg friends to procure a safe conduct.
Quote, Beware of asking anything of the sort, unquote, required Cirolonga quickly.
You have no need of it whatsoever.
The legate is well disposed toward you, and quite ready to end the affair
amicably.
If you ask for a safe conduct, you will spoil all, unquote.
Quote, My gracious lord, the elector of Saxony, unquote, required Luther,
who had recommended me to several honorable men in his town.
They advised me not to venture without a safe conduct.
I ought to follow their advice.
You see how the man of God follows the advice of his friends?
Were I to neglect it, and anything should befall me, they would write to the
elector, my master, that I would not hearken to them.
Luther persisted in his resolution, and Cirolonga was obliged to return to his
employer and report to him the failure of his mission at the very moment when he
fancied it would be crowned with success.
The agents of the cardinal, who was exceedingly desirous to get Luther into
his power without a safe conduct, soon renewed their importunities.
Quote, The cardinal, said they, sends you assurance of his grace and
favor.
Why are you so afraid?
And they endeavored by every possible argument to persuade him to wait upon the
legate.
He is so gracious, and he is like a father, said one of these emissaries.
But another, going close up to him, whispered, Do not believe what they say.
There is no dependence to be placed upon his words.
Luther persisted in his resolution.
On the morning of Monday, the 16th of October, 1518, Cirolonga again renewed his
persuasions.
The courtier had made it a point of honor to succeed in his negotiations.
The moment he entered in, asked in Latin, Why do you not go to the cardinal?
He is expecting you in the most indolent frame of mind.
With him, the whole question is summed up in six letters.
Revoca!
Retract!
Come then with me.
You have nothing to fear.
Luther thought with himself that those were six very important letters.
But, without further discussion, he replied, As soon as I have received the
safe conduct, I will appear.
Cirolonga lost his temper at these words.
He persisted.
He brought forward additional reasons for compliance.
But Luther was immovable.
The Italian courtier, still irritated, exclaimed, You imagine, no doubt,
that the elector will take up arms in your favor, and risk for your sake the loss of
the dominions he inherits from his ancestors?
God forbid, replied Luther.
When all forsake you, ask the Italian, where will you then take refuge?
Where, said Luther, smiling and looking upwards with the eye of faith?
Under heaven!
Cirolonga was struck dumb by this sublime and unexpected reply.
He soon left the house, leaped into his saddle, and visited Luther no more.
Having soon after obtained his safe conduct, Luther appeared before the
legate.
On entering the room where the cardinal was waiting for him, Luther found him
accompanied by the apostolic nuncio in Cirolonga.
His reception was cool, but civil.
And, according to the Roman etiquette,
Luther, following the instructions of Cirolonga, prostrated himself before the
cardinal.
When the latter told him to rise, he knelt.
And when the command was repeated, he stood erect.
Several of the most distinguished Italians of the legate's household entered the room
in order to be present at the interview, impatient to see the German monk humble
himself before the Pope's representative.
The legate was silent.
He expected, said the contemporary, that Luther would begin his recantation.
But Luther waited reverently for the Roman prince to address him.
Finding, however, that he did not open his lips, he understood his silence as an
invitation to open the business, and spoke as follows, quote, Most worthy
Father, upon the summons of His Holiness the Pope, and at the desire of my gracious
Lord, the Elector of Saxony, I appear before you as the humble, obedient son of
the Holy Christian Church, Holy Catholic Church, and I acknowledge that it was I
who published the propositions and theses that are the subject of inquiry.
95 theses.
I am ready to listen with all submission to the charges brought against me,
and, if I am an error, to be instructed in the truth, unquote.
The Cardinal, who had determined to assume the tone of a kind and compassionate
father towards an erring child, answered in the most friendly manner,
commended Luther's humility, and expressed the joy he felt on beholding it,
saying, quote, My dear son, you have filled all Germany with commotion by your
dispute concerning indulgences.
I hear that you are a doctor, well skilled in the Scriptures, and that you have many
followers.
If, therefore, you wish to be a member of the Church, and to have in the Pope a most
gracious Lord, listen to me.
After this exordium, the legate did not hesitate to tell him all that he expected
of him, so confident was he of his submission.
Here, said he, are three articles which, acting under the direction of our most
Holy Father, Pope Leo X, I am to propose to you.
First, you must return to your duty.
You must acknowledge your faults, and retract your errors, your propositions
and sermons.
Secondly, you must promise to abstain for the future from propagating your opinions.
And thirdly, you must engage to be more discreet, and avoid everything that may
grieve or disturb the Church.
Most worthy Father, replied Luther, I request to be permitted to see the
Pope's brief, by virtue of which you have received full power to negotiate this
affair.
Sri Lanka and the rest of the Italians of the Cardinal's train were struck with
astonishment at such a demand, and although the German monk had already
appeared to them a strange phenomenon, they were completely disconcerted at so
bold a speech.
Christians familiar with the principles of justice desire to see them adhere to,
in proceedings against others or themselves, but those who are accustomed
to act according to their own will, are much surprised when required to
proceed regularly and agreeably to a form of law.
Quote, you demand, my son, replied Cajetan, cannot be complied with.
You have to acknowledge your errors, to be careful for the future of what you
teach, and not to return to your vomit, so that you may rest with care and
anxiety, and then, acting by the command and on the authority of our most Holy
Father, the Pope, I will adjust the whole affair.
Deign then, said Luther, to inform me wherein I have erred.
Now listen to this...
At this request, the Italian courtiers, who had expected to see the poor German
fall upon his knees and implore mercy, were still more astonished than before.
Not one of them would have condescended to answer so impertinent a question.
But the legate, who thought it scarcely generous to crush this feeble monk by the
weight of all his authority, and trust him wherever to his own learning for obtaining
an easy victory, consented to tell Luther what he was accused of, and said,
quote, My beloved son, there are two propositions put forward by you,
which you must, before all, retract.
First, the treasure of indulgences does not consist of the merits and sufferings
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Secondly, the man who receives the Holy Sacrament must have faith in the grace
offered to him.
Luther is to retract both these things.
Both these propositions did indeed strike a death blow at the commerce of Rome.
If the Pope had not power to dispose at will of the Savior's merits, if,
on receiving the paper in which the brokers of the Church traded, men did not
acquire a portion of that infinite righteousness, this paper currency lost
its value, and men would count it no better than a mere rag, just like our
Federal Reserve notes, and thus also with the sacraments, the indulgences were,
in some sense, an extraordinary branch of commerce with Rome.
Sacraments made part of our ordinary traffic.
The revenue they yield was by no means small.
But to assert that faith was necessary to make them productive of any real benefit
to the soul of the Christian was to rob them of their attraction in the right hand
side of the people.
For faith is not in the Pope's gift.
It is beyond his power.
And can come from God alone.
To declare its necessity was, therefore, to snatch from the hands of Rome both the
speculation and the prophets attached to it.
We can go on a little bit farther.
The Pope, said the legate, has authority and power over all things.
Save the scriptures, replied Luther, with some warmth.
Save the scriptures, exclaimed Cajetan.
Do not you know that the Pope is higher than the councils?
For he has recently condemned and punished the council of Basil.
After some further discussion, Luther declared in relation to one of the
articles in dispute, quote, if I yielded anything there, I should be denying
Christ.
I cannot, therefore, and will not yield that point.
But by God's help, we'll hold it to the end, unquote.
Cardinal Cajetan could hardly restrain his temper at this bold and decisive
declaration.
And exclaimed with some warmth, quote, whether you will or will not,
you must, this very day, retract that article.
Or else, for that article alone, I will proceed to reject and condemn all
your doctrine, unquote.
I have no will but the Lord's, boldly declared Luther.
He will do with me what seemeth good in his sight.
But had I a hundred heads, I would rather lose them all than retract the testimony I
have borne to the holy Christian faith.
Okay.
This confrontation between Luther and the legate is a suitable portrait for Thomas
Kinkade.
Would to God that he would make a portrait of this.
It would be absolutely stunning.
Quote, I am not come here to argue with you, said Cajetan.
Retract, or prepare to endure the punishment you have deserved.
Luther clearly perceived that this was impossible to end the affair by himself,
not by a conference.
His adversary was seated before him as though he himself were Pope, and required
a humble submission to all that he said to him, once he received Luther's answers,
even when grounded on the holy scriptures, with shrugs and every kind of irony and
contempt.
Having, therefore, shown a disposition to withdraw, do you wish, said the legate to
him, that I should give you a safe contact to repair to Rome?
Nothing would have pleased Cajetan better than the acceptance of this offer.
He would thus have got rid of an affair of which he began to perceive difficulties,
and Luther and his heresy would have fallen into the hands of those who would
have known how to deal with him.
But the reformer, who was sensible to the dangers that surrounded him, even at
Augsburg, took care to refuse an offer that would have delivered him up,
bound hand and foot to the vengeance of his enemies.
He rejected the proposal as often as Cajetan chose to repeat it, which he did
several times.
The legate concealed the chagrin he felt at Luther's refusal.
He assumed an air of dignity, and dismissed the monk with a compassionate
smile, under which he endeavored to hide his disappointment, and at the same time,
with the politeness of one who hopes to have better success another time.
So here Luther refuses to recant, and he has been dismissed by the legate.
After two other interviews with the legate, of which the first may be regarded
as a specimen, Luther saw that his powerful opponent would listen to no
argument from Scripture, and would be satisfied with nothing short of an
unconditional retraction.
A rumor, moreover, reached him that, if he did not retract, he was to be seized
and thrown into a dungeon.
When the imperial counselors, through the Bishop of Trent, had informed the legate
that Luther was under the protection of the Emperor's safe conduct, he had
passionately replied, Be it so, but I shall do what the Pope enjoins me.
We have already seen that the Pope's orders were to secure his person,
detain him in safe custody, and bring him as a...
I must have lost my place, pardon me.
As a...
posed hardly for four centuries ago.
Lost a page, pardon me.
So anyway, he is supposed to go to Rome.
As a prisoner to Rome.
But what happens?
Luther is saved.
Luther does not go to Rome.
And I'll pick up Luther's escape from Wittenberg.
Quote, for these reasons...
Oh, I got here.
Prisoner to Rome.
His friends had advised him before the opportunity might be irrevocably lost to
return from Osberg.
They knew Cajetan well enough to be satisfied that he was scruple at no means
to get Luther into his power.
And the lessons of Constance had taught them how little an Emperor's safe conduct
might avail with Popish moralists to save a victim from the flames.
They suspected that the legate might be even then in communication with the
Emperor to induce him to revoke or to violate his safe conduct.
For these reasons, they advised Luther to seize the opportunity of returning to
Wittenberg.
And he followed their advice.
They advised him to take every possible precaution, fearing that if his departure
were known, it might be opposed.
He followed their directions as well as he could.
A horse that Stolpitz had left at his disposal was brought to the door of the
convent.
Once more, he bids adieu to his brethren.
He then mounts and sets out, without a bridle for his horse, without boots or
spurs, and unarmed.
The magistrate of the city has sent him as a guide a horseman who is well acquainted
with the thrones.
This man conducts him in the dark through the silent streets of Augsburg.
They direct their course to a little gate in the wall of the city.
One of the counselors, Langmontal, had ordered that it should be opened to
him.
He is still in the legate's power.
The hand of Rome is still over him.
Doubtless if the Italians knew that their prey was escaping, the cry of pursuit
would be raised.
Who knows whether the intrepid adversary of Rome may not still be seized and thrown
into prison.
At last, Luther and his guide arrive at the little gate.
They pass through.
They are out of Augsburg.
And putting their horses into a gallop, they soon leave the city far behind.
Luther urged his horse and kept the poor animal at full speed.
He called to mind the real or supposed flight of John Hus, the manner in which he
was overtaken, and the assertion of his adversaries who affirmed that Hus having,
by his flight, annulled the emperor's safe conduct.
They had a right to condemn him to the flames.
However, these uneasy feelings did not long occupy Luther's mind.
Having got clear from the city where he had spent ten days under the terrible hand
of Rome, which had already crushed so many thousand witnesses for the truth,
and shed so much blood, at large breathing in the open air, traversing the villages
and plains, and wonderfully delivered by the arm of the Lord, his whole soul
overflowed with praise.
He might well say, our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers.
The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
Our help is in the name of God, who made heaven and earth.
Thus was the heart of Luther filled with joy, but his thoughts again reverted to
Deo Vio.
The cardinal, he thought, would have been well pleased to get me into his power and
send me to Rome.
He is no doubt mortified that I have escaped from him.
He thought he had me in his clutches at Augsburg.
He thought he held me fast, but he was holding an eel by the tail.
Shame that these people should set so high a price upon me.
They would give my many crowns to have me in their power, whilst our Savior Christ
was sold for thirty pieces of silver.
Luther reached Wittenberg on the 30th of October, and found on his arrival that the
disappointed legate had written a letter to the elector, breathing vengeance
against the contemptible monk that had escaped him, and earnestly entreating
Frederick to send him as a prisoner to Rome, or at least to banish him from his
territories.
The elector refused to liver up Luther to the tender mercies of Rome, and the
reformer appeared from the derision of the Pope to a general council.
This appeal was made at Wittenberg.
Thus we see the escape of Luther from Cardinal Cajun.

This is Eric John Phelps once again with our series that we're beginning here with
regard to the Papacy, the Dark Ages, and the Reformation.
And we're in now our last half hour that we will continue to deal with Martin
Luther and the Reformation.
Reading from John Dowling's The History of Romanism, written in 1845, which is a
classic.
It's one of the books that I have scanned into my 13 Rare Books CD with my Vatican
Assassins book.
Of course, Vatican Assassins is available from my website, VaticanAssassins.org.
It's 1,836 pages with many pictures and this CD, a detached free CD, has this book
in it.
Okay, The History of Romanism by John Dowling, page 462.
Now that Luther has escaped Worms, or he has escaped to Augsburg,
he now is on his way to Worms.
In the Bull of Leo against Leo, Luther, he thus invokes the Prince of the
Apostles.
Arise, O Peter, remember thy holy Roman Church, mother of all the churches and
mistress of the faith.
Arise, O Paul, for a new porphyry is here, attacking thy doctrines and the holy Popes
and our predecessors.
Finally, arise, O assembly of all the saints, holy Church of God, and intercede
for us with God Almighty.
As soon as this bull shall be published, continues the Pope, the bishops are to
search diligently for the writings of Martin Luther, in which these errors are
contained, and to burn them publicly and solemnly in the presence of the clergy and
the laity.
As to Martin himself, what is there in the name of heaven we have not done.
Imitating the goodness of God Almighty, we are ready, notwithstanding,
to receive him again into the bosom of the Church, and we allow him sixty days to
forward to us his recantation and writing, attended by two prelates, or rather,
which would be more satisfactory, to present himself before us in Rome,
that none may any more doubt his obedience.
In the meantime, he must from this moment cease preaching, teaching, and writing,
in the space of sixty days.
We, by these presents, sentence himself, and his adherents as open and contumious
heretics.
By the way, I think it is interesting that Malcolm X was silenced by the Masonic
Elijah Muhammad for sixty days also, I believe.
Interesting.
Rome's tactics are always the same.
Luther coiled not before those papal thunders, which for centuries had made the
mightiest monarchs tremble on their thrones.
On the sixth of October, he published his famous tract on the Babylonian captivity
of the Church.
He commences his work by ironically stating all the advantages for which he is
indebted to his enemies.
Quote, whether I will or no, says he, I learn more and more every day,
urged on as I am by so many celebrated masters.
Two years ago I attacked indulgences, but with such faltering indecision that I
am now ashamed of it.
It, however, is not to be wondered at, for then I had to roll forward the rock by
myself.
Unquote.
He then returns thanks to Dr. Eck to his other adversaries.
Quote, I denied, he continues, that the papacy was from God, but admitted
that it stood by human right.
But now, after having read all the subtleties on which these worthies set up
their idol, I know that papacy is nothing but the reign of Babylon and the violence
of the mighty hunter Nimrod.
I therefore request all my friends and all booksellers that they will burn the books
I have before written on this subject and that in their stead substitute this single
proposition, quote, that papacy is a general chase led by the bishop of Rome
and having for its object the snaring and ruining of souls.
Unquote.
Luther concludes his fearless attack upon the popish Babylon as follows,
quote, I hear that new papal excommunications have been concocted
against me.
If this be so, this book may be regarded as a part of my future recantation.
The rest will follow shortly in proof of my obedience, and the whole will by
Christ's help form a collection such as Rome has never yet seen or heard of.
On the 10th of December following, Luther took the final step which rendered
reconciliation impossible.
On that day, a placard was affixed to the walls of the University of Wittenberg.
It contained an invitation to the professors and students to repair at the
hour of nine in the morning to the east gate beside the Holy Cross.
A great number of doctors and youths assembled, and Luther, putting himself at
their head, led the procession to the appointed spot.
Now listen to this.
A scaffold had already been erected.
One of the oldest among the masters of art soon set fire to it.
As the flames arose, Luther drew nigh and cast into the midst of them the canon law.
That's the law of the papacy.
Threw it in the fire.
The decretals, the clementines, the extravagance of the popes,
and a portion of the works of Eck and Emser.
When these books had been reduced to ashes, Luther took the pope's bull in his
hand, held it up, and said aloud, Since thou hast afflicted the Lord's Holy
One, may fire unquenchable afflict and consume thee.
And thereupon he threw it into the flames.
He then, with much composure, bent his steps toward the city, and the crowd of
doctors, professors, and students, with loud expressions of applause,
returned to Wittenberg in his train.
The decretals, said Luther, are like a body whose face is as fair as a virgin's,
but its limbs are forceful as those of a lion, and its tail as that of a wily
serpent.
In all the papal laws there is not a single word that teaches what Jesus Christ
truly is.
My enemies, he said again, by burning my books, may have despaired to truth in the
minds of the common people, and occasion the loss of souls.
For that reason I have burned their books in my turn.
This is a mighty struggle but just begun.
Hitherto I have been only jesting with the Pope.
I entered upon this work in the name of God.
He will bring it to a close without my aid by his own power.
If they dare to burn my books, of which it is no vain boast to say that
they contain more of the gospel than all the Pope's books put together,
I may with far better reason burn theirs, which are wholly worthless.
By this act the daring reformer distinctly announced his separation from the Pope and
the papal church.
He now accepted the excommunication which Rome had pronounced.
He proclaimed in the face of Christendom that between him and the Pope there was
war even unto the death.
Like the Roman who burned the vessels that had conveyed him to the enemy shore,
he left himself no resource but to advance and offer battle.
After this there could be no more peace with Rome.
Listener, this is the true Martin Luther.
Well Martin Luther is ultimately brought to the grand died in Worms.
And we shall examine a few paragraphs here.
Strenuous efforts were employed to prevent Luther from appearing at Worms.
His friends trembled for his safety and his life.
His enemies dreaded what some of them had already witnessed.
His reasoning, eloquence, and knowledge of the scripture is so superior to their own.
The papal party tempted him with the hope of an amicable adjustment.
The advocates of truth sought to excite his apprehensions.
All their efforts failed.
Quote, tell your master, he said to a messenger from Spallatin, that though
there should be as many devils in Worms as there are tiles on the roof of the houses,
I would go.
Uninfluenced by persuasions and undaunted by threats, Luther entered Worms on the
16th of April.
The day after his arrival, he was summoned to attend the diet.
On the morning of that day, his soul had endured unwanted depression, almost
amounting to anguish.
But in his distress, he sought the Lord with strong crying and tears, and was
graciously heard.
Peace returned, and holy undaunted courage again filled his spirit.
He cheerfully attended the officer who was appointed to conduct him to the hall of
audience.
He reached the place with some difficulties, so great was the crowd that
thronged every avenue in eager curiosity to see the man whose fame had spread
throughout Germany and on whom the thunders of the Vatican had hitherto
fallen harmlessly.
At length he stood before the august assembly.
The emperor occupied the throne.
This is the Holy Roman Emperor.
Next to him sat his brother, the Archduke Ferdinand.
Six electors of the empire were present, 24 dukes, 8 margraves, 30 prelates,
7 ambassadors, the deputies of 10 free cities, princes, counts, and barons,
the papal mincios, and all 204 noble and illustrious personages.
The countenances of many betrayed deep inward concern and anxiety.
Luther had held communion with God, and enjoyed perfect peace." On the table
was laid a collection of his writings.
He was asked whether he acknowledged them as his productions, and whether he was
prepared to retract the opinions they contained.
To the first question he answered in the affirmative.
To the second he replied that the question was very serious and important,
and ought not to be answered without due consideration, lest he should in any way
injure the cause of truth.
He asked, therefore, for a brief delay, so reasonable a request could not be
refused.
Next day he appeared again.
The questions were repeated.
Luther then addressed the assembly.
He had acknowledged, he said, the books on the table to be his.
Their contents differed much from each other.
In some he had treated of faith and works, unmasking the errors of the age.
He could not retract them without treachery to the gospel.
A second class consisted of writings in which he had exposed the enormous
corruptions and abuses of the papacy.
These were so notorious, and had been so long and so justly the subject of loud
complaint in Germany, that it would be worse than folly to suppress the works in
which they were held up to public reprobation.
In the third piece he had, in some of his books, attacked individuals who had
advocated existing evils.
And he was willing to confess, for he could not pretend to be free from
fault, that he had sometimes written with unbecoming violence.
Yet he could not retract the sentiments advanced in those writings, because such a
course would encourage the enemies of the truth, and embolden them in their
opposition.
Wherefore he prayed that instead of persisting in the demand for retractions,
the Diet would take measures to convince him from the scriptures of his error.
As soon as he should be convinced, he would immediately acknowledge it.
You have not answered the question, said the Chancellor of the Archbishop of
Treves, to whom the management of this part of the business was entrusted.
A clear and express reply is required.
Will you or will you not retract?
The reformer's answer was worthy of him.
Since your most serene majesty and the prince's require a simple answer,
I will give it thus.
Unless I shall be convinced by proofs from scripture, or by evident reason,
for I believe neither in popes nor in councils, since they have frequently erred
in contradicting themselves, I cannot choose but to adhere to the word of God,
which has possession of my conscience.
Nor can I possibly, nor will I ever make any recantation, since it is neither safe
nor honest to act contrary to conscience.
Here I take my stand.
I cannot do otherwise.
God be my help.
Amen.
These are Luther's immortal words before the Diet of Worms.
Remember, there are 204 nobles here, including the Holy Roman Emperor.
There is a cardinal here.
Any individual would be shaking in his boots, but God has given Luther the
strength to do and to say these things.
The speech made deep impression.
The Emperor himself was struck with admiration.
If you will not retract, resume the Chancellor, the Emperor and the states of
the Empire will see what ought to be done with an obstinate heretic.
God be my help, rejoined Luther.
I can retract nothing.
He then withdrew, leaving the Diet in deliberation.
When he was called in again, another effort was made.
His appeal to scripture was treated with contempt, since he had revived errors
which had been condemned by the Council of Constance, as if the authority of the
Council of Constance were superior to that of the word of God.
In conclusion, the Chancellor said, The Emperor commands you to say simply yes
or no, whether you mean to maintain whatever you have advanced or whether you
will retract a part.
I have no other answer to give than what I have already given, replied the courageous
reformer.
In spite of the persuasions or menaces of his opposers, he persisted in this noble
determination.
In reply to the entreaties of the Archbishop of Treves, who labored hard to
induce him to submit to the Diet, I will put my person and my life in the
Emperor's hands, said he, but the word of God, never.
He claimed for every Christian the right of private judgment.
If he consented to a council, it would be only on condition that the council should
be compelled to judge according to the scriptures.
Protracted debates followed.
Some counseled the violation of the safe conduct and urged the Emperor to seize
Luther and put him to death.
But the high-minded princes of Germany scorned the base proposal.
Charles himself, bigoted as he was, revolted at it.
If good faith were banished from the whole earth, he exclaimed, it ought still to
find refuge in the courts of kings.
At length, the adversaries of the reformers saw that it was useless to labor
longer with him to induce him to submit, and other measures must be adopted.
Efforts were made by some of Luther's bitterish, popish adversaries,
but without success, to induce the Emperor, like his predecessor Sigismund,
to violate his safe conduct and to leave Luther, as Sigismund had left Huss,
to the tender mercies of the Church.
And it was in reply to these suggestions that Charles V, the Emperor of the Holy
Roman Empire, uttered that expression already mentioned in the account of the
cruel and treacherous murder of Huss, quote, I should not like to blush like
Sigismund, unquote.
Well, what we have is Luther then is placed under a ban of the Empire and
threatening the same to all that protect him.
And here is what it reads.
For by this end, and on pain of incurring the penalty of treason, we hereby forbid
you to receive the said Luther from the moment when the said term is expired,
or to harbor or to give him meat or drink, or by word or act, publicly or in private,
to aid or abet him.
We further enjoin you to seize or cause him to be seized, whether he may be,
and to bring him before us without delay or hold him in endurance, until you shall
be informed how to deal with him and have received the reward due to your
cooperation in this holy work.
As to his adherents, you are enjoined to seize upon him, putting them down and
confiscating their property.
And if anyone, whatever may be his reign, should dare to act contrary to this decree
of our Imperial Majesty, we commend that he be placed under the ban of the Empire,
that each one observe this decree.
So, after the safe conduct expires, Luther is to be condemned.
Well, what happens?
We now read of the Lord's delivering Luther.
In the meanwhile, Luther had left Worms, and after spending a day or two on his way
to his native village of Eisenach, was on the road to Wittenberg,
accompanied by Amsdorff and his brother James.
He skirted the woods of Thuringen, taking the path that leads to
Waltershausen.
As the wagon was passing a narrow defile near the ruined church of Gilsbeck,
a short distance from the castle of Altenstein, suddenly a noise was heard,
and in a moment five horsemen, masked and armed from head to foot,
fell upon them.
His brother James, as soon as he caught sight of the assailants, jumped from the
wagon and fled as fast as he could without uttering a word.
The driver would have resisted.
Stop, cried a hoarse voice, and instantly one of the attacking party threw him to
the earth.
Another of the masked grasped Amsdorff and held him fast.
While this was doing, the three horsemen laid hold on Luther, maintaining profound
silence.
They forced him to alight, and throwing a knight's cloak over his shoulders,
set him on a horse that they had with them.
This done, the two other masked let go Amsdorff and the wagoner, and the whole
five sprang into their saddles.
One dropped his cap, but they did not stop to recover it.
And in the twinkling of an eye, the party and their prisoner were lost in
the thick gloom of the forest.
At first they took the direction of a particular direction, and they rapidly
changed their route, and without quitting the forest, rode first in one direction
and then in another, turning their horses' feet to baffle any attempt to track their
course.
Luther, little used to riding, was soon overcome with fatigue.
His guides permitted him to stop for a few instants.
He rested on the earth beside a beech tree and drank some of the water from the
spring, which still bears his name.
His brother James, continuing his flight from the scene of their re-encounter,
reached Walter's house on that evening, the driver hastily throwing himself into
the wagon in which Amsdorff had already mounted, galloped his horse at full speed
and conducted Luther's friend to Wittenberg.
At Walter's house in Wittenberg, in the open country, the villages and
towns en route, the news spread that Luther was carried off.
Some rejoiced at the report, but the greater number were struck with
astonishment and indignation, and soon a cry of grief resounded throughout Germany.
Luther had fallen into the hands of his enemies.
These apprehensions, however, were groundless.
The abduction of Luther was planned by his friends and protectors, with a concurrence
of the Elector Frederick, and as some suppose, with a connivance even of the
Emperor himself, who, notwithstanding his desire to court the favor of the Pope and
to uphold the religion of Rome, might yet have been unwilling to incur the
indignation of Germany by delivering up Luther to the flames.
Be this as it may, without doubt, the hand of God was visible in thus
providing his faithful servant with a retreat from the rage of his bloodthirsty
enemies.
The potpourri must be robbed of its prey, and his faithful servant must have leisure
and retirement to continue his bold exposure of the Mother of Harlots,
and above all, to give the New Testament, from which he had learned the doctrines he
preached to the Germans in their native tongue.
These objects were accomplished by his mysterious and providential abduction.
The place to which Luther was conducted with his mysterious guise was the lofty
and isolated castle of Wurttberg, an ancient residence of the land-graze of
Thurgin.
They took away his ecclesiastical habit, attiring him in the nightly dress prepared
for him, and enjoining him to let his beard and hair grow, that no one in the
castle might know who he was.
The attendants of the castle at Wurttberg were to know the prisoner only by the name
of Knight George.
Luther scarcely recognized himself under his singular metamorphosis.
Left at length to his meditations, he had leisure to revolve the
extraordinary events that had befallen him, the uncertain future that awaited
him, and his new and strange abode.
During the ten months of the reformer's captivity, the Knight George was not idle.
In the castle of Wurttberg, Luther composed works which mightily tended to
shake the Romish power in Germany.
Auricular confession, private masses, and monistic vows were the themes on which
his resistless eloquence was employed.
He held them up to the indignant reprobation of men, and satisfactorily
proved that they were all alike opposed to the word of God and to Christian freedom.
But his greatest work was the translation of the New Testament into the German
language.
This also was executed at Wurttberg.
It is the noblest monument of his genius, and was the most precious gift that
Germany had yet received.
The volume was published in September 1522, and was received with gratitude and
joy by those who loved the truth.
But it was denounced and vilified, and in many places publicly burned by the
bigoted Romanists.
Well, this is the story of Martin Luther, and this is the story of really the father
of the Protestant Reformation.
And had it not been for Martin Luther, there would have been no spreading of the
word of God in Northern Europe, and the founding of the free
Protestant-based republics of Germany, and Holland, and Denmark, and the English
Commonwealth, and the Republic of South Africa, and Rhodesia, ultimately,
and the United States and Canada.
These are the Western Protestant white nations that were established to get the
gospel to the ends of the earth.
And Martin Luther was the one who made it possible, the one whom the Lord used to
accomplish this.
Germany went on to be a great nation.
It became the hub and the most powerful commercial entity in the empire.
And later, when the Second Reich was established by Bismarck in 1871,
it was a Protestant Reich, it was a Protestant Holy Roman Empire, so to say.
And Germany became the most powerful nation in Europe, it became the most
advanced in its creations, in its arts and sciences, all because of one thing,
that Martin Luther got the language, the German people, the Bible in their own
language, contrary to what the Jesuits sought to do with the Council of Trent.
Well, this is our first half, is our review of the Dark Ages of Pope Hildebrand
and Innocent III, the two absolute dictatorial, vicious and cruel popes that
the Jesuits would like to bring back in their restoration of the Dark Ages,
which is the New Age Movement.
And then the second half of this two-hour period, we reviewed the Reformation,
the Protestant Reformation, and its leader, Martin Luther.
When he championed the doctrine of the just shall live by faith, when he
condemned the doctrine of transubstantiation, when he held forth the
doctrine of there is only salvation in Christ and that the word of God was
supreme above all the pope's bulls and councils.
Our next section will be on the devil's establishment of the Jesuit order in his
person of Ignatius Loyola.
And we shall see that the following 500 years are nothing more than the warfare
between Luther and Loyola, the Reformation versus the Counter-Reformation.
This is Eric John Phelps.

Good evening, this is Eric John Phelps.
We are now going to begin the hour concerning the founding of the Jesuit
order.
And this is the result of the devil's response to the Lord's Protestant
Reformation.
When the Lord raised up Martin Luther to contend with the papacy by standing on the
doctrines of the word of God, which he could not go against his conscience,
it was neither safe nor right.
We read those immortal words last night.
And now, as a result, the devil will bring forth his champion.
And that champion is Ignatius Loyola.
Ignatius Loyola was the founder of the Jesuits.
And we shall see that he was a military man.
A man that he was absolutely and completely and totally given over to his
purposes.
Before we mention him, we shall go to a couple of paragraphs here finalizing what
we owe to the Reformation.
This is from the late Bishop John Charles Ryle.
And I quote...
By the way, the Reformation English Bible is the English Bible based upon the Hebrew
Masoretic Text and the Greek Textus Receptus, also called the Received Text,
also called the Byzantine Text, also called the Majority Text.
There are only two English Bibles based upon those texts.
The first is the Geneva Bible and the second is the AB 1611.
All other Bibles are based on a pro-West Cotton Horde Greek Text or Jerome's Latin
Vulgate, which West Cotton Horde's Greek Text follows.
It was a secret Greek Text in the Revision Committee in the 1870s intended to
overthrow the Textus Receptus and also to overthrow the AB 1611 with the English
Revised Version.
So therefore, the Jesuits in seeking to destroy the Reformation foreign British
Empire had to destroy or discredit its English Bible.
So therefore, when we speak of an English Bible, we speak only of two.
The Geneva Bible and the AB 1611, the King James Bible.
Back to our quote...
The translation of the Bible was the earliest and most powerful.
It struck a blow at the root of the whole Roman system.
Before a free Bible and fair play for all who used it, the Pope's champions could
not long stand.
The huge fabric of Popery cracked, shivered, and fell to the ground like a
pack of cards.
With a Bible in every church, every thoughtful man soon saw that the religion
of the priests had no warrant of Holy Scriptures.
It is a striking and instructive fact that of all the agencies that combined to win
the English Reformation, hardly any called forth such bitter opposition as the
translation and circulation of the Scriptures.
Even in 1519, long before Cramer began his good work, Fox records that six men and a
woman were burned at Coventry for teaching their children the Lord's Prayer and the
Ten Commandments.
By the way, Coventry was a target of the Jesuits when they used Goring's Ludwof to
bomb Protestant Coventry in World War II in the 1940s.
And the charge against the accused persons was, not the possession of a Bible,
but of an English Bible, or Book of the New Law of England.
Afterwards, when the Reformation fairly began, nothing seemed to have alarmed and
enraged the Romish priesthood so much as the spread of English Bibles.
It was this that cost the martyred Reformer Tyndale his life.
Tyndale was the father of the English Bible.
He was burned because he would translate and circulate the Scriptures.
The relentless enmity with which he was persecuted and finally hunted to death by
Sir Thomas More and others, tells a tale which he who runs may read.
The priest well knew and well that the game was up if the people once saw the
inside of the Bible.
He might as well have stopped the tide rising at Chepsaw and prevent Jupiter's
satellites revolving around him as to stop the progress of the Protestant cause when
the laity once began to read the Bible Scriptures.
In vain, Bishop Tunstall seized the book and Bishop Bonner burned it at Paul's
cross.
Its leading contents and principles ran through the land like fire and from that
period the Pope's cause in England was shaken to the center.
You that read the Bible daily and delight in the law of the Lord, never forget that
you owe that Bible to the Reformation.
For another thing, we owe to the Reformation an open road to the throne of
grace and the great fountain of peace with God.
That blessed road had long been blocked up and made impassable by heaps of rubbish of
man's invention.
Under pretense of mending and improving the road, the divines of Rome had spoiled
it altogether.
He who desired to obtain forgiveness had to seek it through a jungle of priests,
saints, merry worship, masses, penances, concessions, absolution,
and the like, so that there might as well have been no throne of grace at all.
The huge mass of rubbish was shoveled out of the way by the Reformers.
The doctrine of our glorious 11th article was everywhere preached and published and
proclaimed.
This is the 11th article of the Anglican Confession of the 39 Articles.
People were taught that justification was by faith without the deeds of the law,
and that every heavy laden sinner on earth had a right to go straight to the Lord
Jesus Christ for remission of sins, without waiting for pope or priest,
confession or absolution, masses or extreme unction.
From that time the backbone of English popery was broken.
You that are walking by faith and enjoying peace with God by simple trust in the
precious blood of atonement, never forget that you owe its priceless privilege to
the Reformation.
We owe to the Reformation a true idea of Christian worship.
In the days when Romanism ruled England undisturbed, the service of God's house
must have been, to most Englishmen, a mysterious performance which left them
entirely in the hands of the priests.
If they were present at any church service, they could only be present as
sleeping partners or passive ignorant spectators.
It was a mere formal histrionic worship to which the laity could only bring their
bodies, but in which their minds and reason and spirit and understanding could
take no part at all.
This solemn farce was completely stopped by the Reformers.
They laid down the great principle of our 24th article, that it is a thing plainly
repugnant to the word of God and the custom of the primitive church to have
public prayer in the church, to minister the sacraments in a tongue not understood
by the people.
They introduced into every English church the English Bible, an English prayer book,
English preaching, simple plain services and a simple untheatrical administration
of Christ's two sacraments.
Of course they could not make the people Christians, but from the Isle of Wight to
Berwick-on-Tweed and from the land's end to the north of Portland, a worship was
set up in every church which the poorest laborer might understand.
We owe to the Reformation a true notion of the office of a Christian minister.
Before the eyes of Englishmen were opened by the Bible, it was a settled idea in all
men's lands that the Christian ministry was a sacerdotal ministry, like that of
the Jews, and that every clergyman was a sacrificing priest.
The clergy were supposed to hold the keys to heaven and to be practically mediators
between God and man.
The natural result was that they generally became spiritual tyrants and were exalted
to a position which was enough to turn the head of any mortal man.
Placed far too high, the priests became despots.
Placed far too low, the lady became slaves.
The Reformers brought the office of the clergy down to its scriptural level.
They stripped it entirely of any sacerdotal character.
They cast out the words sacrifice and altar from the prayer book.
And though they retained the word priest, they retained it only in the sense of
presbyter or elder.
They taught the people everywhere that the clergy were not lords of the church,
but like Paul and Timothy, its servants, Philippians 1.1.
Ambassadors, messengers, witnesses, evangelists, teachers and ministers of the
word and sacraments.
Above all, they declared, as the ordination of the church shows,
that the chief business of a Christian minister is to, quote, to be diligent in
prayer and the reading of the scriptures, and to lay aside the study of the world
and flesh, unquote.
And as to any power of the keys and binding and loosing, they taught,
as Jewel's apology distinctly informs us, that it was to be exercised by preaching
the gospel to the penitent and setting before him an open door, and by warning
sinners that, continuing in sin, they would find heaven's gate shut against
them.
You that know the value of a true Christian minister and the immense
superiority of the pulpit to the confessional, never forget that for a
clear light on this point, you are indebted to the Reformation.
Finally, we owe to the Reformation a right standard of Christian holiness.
Before the days of Henry VIII, it was held by all that a monastic life
and vows of celibacy were the only ways to attain eminent sanctity and escape sin.
Myriads of men and women were continually becoming monks and nuns under the vain
idea of becoming religious.
The Reformers cut up by their roots this most fallacious idea by dissolving
religious houses and dispersing their inhabitants.
The thing was done roughly, no doubt, and the property of the abbeys and
monasteries was disgracefully misapplied.
But the measure was a wise one, and like a severe surgical operation,
it saved health at the cost of temporary suffering.
The great scriptural principle was established that true religion is to be
seen, not retiring into holes and corners and fleeing from difficulties,
but doing our duty in every position to which God calls us, and manfully resisting
the devil and overcoming him that true holiness is to be exhibited.
The Reformers ordered the Ten Commandments to be set up in every church and taught to
every child, and the duty toward God and our neighbor to be set forth in the old
catechism.
They refused to give the slightest encouragement to the plausible notion of
becoming saints by shrinking and shirking the duties of our station.
It is not too much to say that in the process of time this new principle had an
elevating and purifying effect on the whole tone of English morals.
If England, with all her faults, has a higher standard of daily life than
most countries, let us never forget that we owe it to the Reformation.
By the way, a study was done several years ago and I have a copy of it that the
Protestant nations, when they were reading the Bible, had a much higher moral
standard than Catholic nations who did not read it.
And of course, the reason was because of the Reformation.
Such is the brief and condensed account of the positive blessings which the
Reformation has conferred upon England.
I have purposely done little more than name them because they are not bygone
things like popish superstitions, but living privileges with which we are
all familiar.
We bask in the full sunshine of them.
They are part of the air we breathe.
They are a rich inheritance which every resident in England unconsciously,
I fear, in many cases, enjoys to this day.
We have neither an adequate conception of the evils from which the Reformation freed
us nor the enormous good which it brought in.
But this I am bold to assert.
Whatever England is among the nations of the earth, as a Christian country,
whatever political liberty we have, whatever lighter freedom in religion,
whatever purity and happiness there is in our homes, whatever protection and care
for the poor, we owe it to the Protestant Reformation.
The Reformation found Englishmen steeped in ignorance and left them in possession
of knowledge, found them without Bibles and left them with a Bible in every
church, found them in darkness and left them in comparative light, found them
priest-ridden and left them enjoying the liberty which Christ bestows, found them
strangers to the blood of atonement, to faith and grace and holiness,
and left them, excuse me, with the key to those things in their hands, from them
blind and left them seen, from them slaves and left them free.
Forever let us thank God for the Reformation.
It lighted a candle which ought never to be extinguished or allowed to grow dim.
And forever let us remember that the Reformation was won for us by the blood of
the martyrs, quite as much by their preaching and praying, writing and
legislation.
It was forged in the fires of Oxford and Smithfield.
It cost the lives of one archbishop, four bishops, and 280 other men and women
who died rather than give place to potpourri.
Shall we in this century talk lightly of the great work they did?
That's the 19th century, by the way.
Shall we hold cheaply the privileges they won?
Shall we entertain for a moment the ideal of forsaking Reformation principles and
going back to Rome?
Once more I say, God forbid, the man who counsels such a base apostasy and suicidal
following must be judicially blind.
The iron collar has been broken.
Let us not put it on again.
The prison has been thrown open.
Let us not resume the yoke and return to our chains.
Again, this is an essay by Dr. John Charles Ryle in the late 1800s.
What do we owe to the Reformation?
And indeed, this is the truth.
Many of God's people suffered awful deaths rather than submit to potpourri.
And I mean impaled on spikes, the horrible tortures of the Inquisition, being buried
alive to the women, and being burned with fire for the men who merely had a Bible in
their home.
We must remember that the very foundation of America, according to President Andrew
Jackson, was the Bible.
Because he said, that, sir, the Bible, is the foundation upon which this Republic
rests.
So without the Bible, we are not America.
Without the Bible, we are not a Bible-believing Christian nation.
And that is what we are today.
That is what England is today with less than 3% of her people attending any form
of Protestant church service.
Well, this leads us now to the Jesuit Order and the founding of the Jesuit
Order.
And we shall read of this man, Ignatius Loyola, who was this unbelievable
founder and who had a tremendous, an iron will that he would never,
never give up until he accomplished his goal.
We will read from the great German preacher, the great German historian,
Theodor Greisinger.
He was a father historian in many ways to the German people.
And the title of his book is The Jesuits, A Complete History of Their Open and
Secret Proceedings from the Foundation of the Order to the Present Time.
And the present time was 1873, the year after the Jesuits had been
expelled from Germany.
We read in this particular work concerning Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit
Order.
We shall start on the first page.
Chapter 1.
Chapter 2.
The vicissitudes of the new saint of the seven first Jesuits.
To Jerusalem and Palestine for the conversion of the Turks was now the
watchword of the converted Loyola.
And, in fact, he betook himself immediately at the commencement of the
year 1523 towards Barcelona in order to embark from there first of all to Italy.
Money had he none, but that he did not distress himself for being already
accustomed to beg, he soon collected enough not only to keep himself from
starving, but to pay the passage money to Gaeta and the Neapolitan dominions,
namely Italy.
Having arrived there, he proceeded forthwith further towards Rome,
always begging his way, reaching it on Palm Sunday.
Remember, this is the Ignatius Loyola who was a noble of Spain, who was wounded in
the Battle of Pamplona, who had his leg reset with a horrible resetting of the
French commander whose doctor had reset his leg only to wind up shorter than his
other leg.
Therefore, it was this Loyola who had his leg deliberately broken and reset again
and stretched and pulled, hoping that his leg would be longer.
And when his leg healed, began to heal, he found out that it was, again,
too short.
So what he instructed his servant was to break the leg and stretch it on the rack,
going through an awful, horrible pain.
And this Loyola observed that his leg again healed short and he had a perpetual
limp.
But this is an example of his determination and it is now reflected in
his trip to Palestine.
Having arrived there, he proceeded forthwith further towards Rome,
always begging his way, reaching it on Palm Sunday.
His first care, naturally enough, was to perform his devotions in all the
stations and churches where pilgrims were wont to resort.
He also had the unspeakable good fortune on Good Friday, the 5th of April,
to receive along with other pilgrims the blessing of His Holiness, Pope Hadrian VI.
And according to some of his biographers, he was permitted to kiss the Pope's foot.
But that as it may, I have only to remark that Inegio continued to support himself
by begging and that he generally passed the night in a miserable shed.
On the 12th of April, he prosecuted his journey further towards Venice,
always being understood on foot and begging his way.
Although he was now so used to this mode of traveling, he this time nearly fell a
victim to it.
As from his miserable appearance, he was universally looked upon as a plague
stricken person.
And on that account, not to be allowed to enter any town seeing that the plague at
the time was raging in a truly unmerciful manner in Upper Italy.
He was therefore often compelled not only to sleep in the open air, which proved
very prejudicial to his health, but he also found on this account little
opportunity of soliciting alms and accordingly at times endured frightful
sufferings from hunger.
At last he succeeded in reaching Venice and contrived to introduce himself through
the gate without detention by the centuries.
He had no longer any lack of nourishment as many benevolent hearts are everywhere
to be found and fortune favored him so much that a Spaniard of rank, the Duke
Andre Guitti obtained for him a free passage in an Italian state galley to
Jaffa in Palestine.
It nearly went badly, however, with him and his ship on which he embarked
on the 14th of July.
Having plenty of spare time during the voyage, he employed in it preaching better
manners to the sailors, accustomed as they were to swearing in obscene language,
and being provoked thereby they nearly threw him into the sea.
But God and the captain of the ship protected him, and he thus reached his
intended destination on the 1st of September in safety.
He was now in Palestine, which he had so long earnestly desired to visit,
so proceeding to Jerusalem with a caravan of pilgrims he arrived there in good
condition on the 4th of September.
But scarcely had he visited the holy places, and performed his devotions to the
different spots over which Christ had wandered 1,500 years before, and he
hastened to carry out the great aim he was desirous of accomplishing.
In other words, he presented himself forthwith to the provincial father of the
Franciscans, and craved permission to commence his work of preaching and
converting, namely, the Muslims.
The provincial entering into conversation with the new laborer in the church fold
found to his great astonishment that the latter was not only completely ignorant of
the language and religion of the Turks, but that the same was the case even as
regards Christianity itself, or Catholicism itself, that it is to say in
theology, quote-unquote, the knowledge which Christ taught, he was quite a
tyrant.
And for such a thoroughly ignorant man, who was also a perfectly vaguely and
vagabond appearance, to believe himself fit for such a weighty undertaking as the
education of those who did not believe in Christian or Roman Catholic dogma or
religion, appeared to the provincial to be the purest nonsense, and so he told
Ignatius to his face.
The latter advanced that God might perhaps bring about a miracle and produce such a
powerful effect upon the Turks that they might understand his preaching in the
Spanish tongue.
But disregarding such views, the provincial shook his head, and still the
more vehemently, and ordered Ignatius to return forthwith to Europe.
As the latter did not at once acquiesce in this suggestion, he nominated him a beggar
missionary and under an authority from the Pope to banish all pilgrims who were not
compliant to his decrees, he had him conveyed on a certain small ship bound for
Venice where he safely arrived in January 1521, after a four month voyage.
There ended, in an almost laughable manner, the pilgrimage to Palestine that
had so far done good that Ignatius obtained a full comprehension of his
ignorance and became convinced how impossible it was for him to do anything
as a preacher or converter while he had not previously made himself acquainted
with the science of Christianity or Roman Catholicism and studied Holy Theology.
He now had already attained his 33rd year, and had not the slightest idea of even the
rudiments of the Latin language, moreover, the sole property he possessed
consisted of the cloak that covered his body, miserable trousers which hardly
reached to his knees, and a long frock ticking full of holes.
However, he disregarded all this and resolved to return to Barcelona to
commence there his studies.
Quote, God and the Holy Mary, whose knight I am, he thought, will further assist me,
and I hope that I will with ease collect sufficient by begging to complete my
studies.
Indeed, the Jesuits were first called the Knights of the Virgin Mary.
And of course, the Virgin Mary is in fact the goddess of heaven, the queen of
heaven, the mother goddess of ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt.
Sure, he made his way from Venice by Genoa, forthwith he had to encounter many
dangers before he arrived there, owing to the war that at the time was
going on between Francis I of France and Charles V, emperor of Germany and king of
Spain.
Among other adventures, he was taken prisoner by the Spaniards in suspicion of
being a spy and treated to the scourge.
When at length he reached Genoa, he there had the good fortune to be
provided by the commander of the Spanish galleys, a former acquaintance,
Rodrigo Portundo, with a free passage upon a ship, and he arrived safe and sound at
Barcelona without further mishap.
This shows the mettle of Ignatius Loyola.
His utter determination to go to Palestine and to convert the Turks, in fact to take
Jerusalem from the Muslims, and this was one of the foremost purposes for the
establishment of the Jesuit order.
In addition to its establishment being that it was to be the counter-reformation,
destroy the Protestant Reformation, destroy everything that had ever arisen
out of the Protestant Reformation, including a Bible in your house and a
written constitution to limit the powers of your government.
Those two important, absolutely critical things to western civilization that
Jesuits have completely and totally determined to overthrow.
They have succeeded in America in overthrowing the Reformation Bible by
discrediting the King James Bible, and they have succeeded in making this
nation a pagan nation that is not allowed to have the Bible in any public form.
The Ten Commandments have been deliberately removed from all public
arenas and we now find ourselves just as pagan as the Soviet Union.
All because of the works of the Jesuits.
Having succeeded in those two areas, they are now moving in on the destruction
of western civilization and the creation of the New World Order, which is in fact a
reversion back to the Old World Order, which was the Dark Ages.
I now shall read a few pages from Book 15 of the History of Protestantism by the
wonderful English historian James A.
Wiley.
In his second volume of this history, in his 15th book, we have 54 pages of the
most succinct description, purpose, and history of the Jesuit order I believe
ever written.
These 54 pages have been included at the end of my Vatican Assassins 3,
3rd edition, at the end of the book and are key and very important.
Well, we shall read one paragraph and then we shall close.
Protestantism had marshaled its spiritual forces a second time, placing itself at
the heart of Christendom at a point where three great empires met.
It was laboring with redoubled vigor to propagate itself on all sides.
It was expelling from into the air of the world the ancient superstition born of
paganism and Judaism, which like an opaque veil had darkened the human mind.
A new light was breaking from the eyes and a new light stirring the souls of men.
We shall close this moment and redo and regain our study tomorrow evening.

Again, this is Eric Phelps.
And we begin the reading of Wiley's work.
Chapter 1, Book 15, On the Jesuits.
It was further clear that armies would never affect the overthrow of
Protestantism.
The serious strength of Popish Europe had been put forth to crush it, but all in
vain.
Protestantism had risen only the stronger from the blows which it was hoped would
overwhelm it.
It was plain that other weapons must be forged, and other armies mustered,
than those which Charles and Francis had been accustomed to lead into the field.
It was now that the Jesuit Corps was embodied, and it must be confessed that
these new soldiers did more than all the armies of France and Spain to stem the
tide of Protestant success, and bind victory once more to the banners of Rome.
This is most important because the Jesuit Order did more to set back the Protestant
Reformation than any other force of Europe, including all the armies of
Charles V, and succeeding Holy Roman Emperors.
The Jesuits exist today.
Their very purpose is for the destruction of the Reformation, and the bringing of
the world back to the Dark Ages.
And this should be taught in every Bible-believing church.
We continue with the works of Wiley.
We remember what Loyola went through, his suffering as a soldier, his trip to
Jerusalem.
And what do we have here?
The author then says, The war in which Loyola and his nine companions enrolled
themselves when, on the 15th of August, 1534, they made their vow in the church of
Montmartre was to be waged against the Saracens of the East.
That means the Muslims.
They acted so far on their original design as to proceed to Venice, where they
learned that their project was, meanwhile, impractical.
A war which had just broken out between the Republic and the Porti had closed the
gates of Asia.
They took this as an intimidation, as an intimation, that the field of their
operations was to be in the Western world.
Returning on their path, they now directed their steps towards Rome.
In every town through which they passed on their way to the Eternal City,
they left behind them an immense reputation for sanctity by their labors in
the hospitals and their earliest addresses to the populace on the streets.
As they drew nigh to Rome, and the hearts of some of his companions were beginning
to despond, Loyola was cheered by a vision in which Christ appeared and said to him,
In Rome will I be gracious.
The hopes this vision inspired were not to be disappointed.
Entering the gates of the capital of Christendom, or capital of Roman
Catholicism, and throwing themselves at the feet of Paul III, they met a most
gracious reception.
The Pope hailed their order of assistance as most opportune.
Mighty dangers in that hour threatened the Papacy, and with the half of Europe in
revolt, that is the Protestant Reformation, the northern half of Europe
was breaking away from the Pope's temporal power.
With the half of Europe in revolt, and the old monkish orders become
incapable, this new and unexpected age seemed sent by Heaven.
The rules and constitution of the new order were drafted and ultimately approved
by the Pope.
Two peculiarities in the constitution of the prepared order specifically
recommended it in the eyes of Paul III.
The first was its vow of unconditional obedience.
Unconditional obedience.
The society swore to obey the Pope as an army does its general.
It was not canonical, but military obedience, which its members offered him.
They would go to wheresoever place, and whatsoever time, and on whatsoever
errand, he should be pleased to order them.
They were in short to be not so much monks as soldiers.
The second peculiarity was that their services were to be wholly gratuitous.
Never would they ask so much as a penny from the papal seat.
It was resolved that the new order should bear the name of the company of Jesus.
Loyola modestly declined the honor of being its founder.
Christ himself, he affirmed, had dictated to him its constitution in his cave at
Manresa.
He was its real founder, whose name then could be so appropriately as his.
The bull constituting it was issued on the 27th of September 1540, and was entitled
Regimini militantis ecclesiasti, and bore that the persons it enrolled into
an army were to bear, quote, the standard of the cross, to wield the arms of God,
to serve the Holy Lord, and the Roman Pontiff, his vicar on earth, unquote.
This is the regiment, the militant regiment of the church.
They are warriors.
They are soldiers.
They are, in their own minds, invincible.
They have a 15-year education.
And when they are finished, they will go anywhere and do anything under the guise
of holy obedience, which is absolute obedience.
And they will labor at their task until death if ordered.
In the Jesuit, you have the perfect, satanic completion of a man who has
managed to control his flesh.
Exercising, for the most part, complete and total control, self control
and composure.
In every situation, it is the Jesuit who is able to counter and fight down the
Lord's Protestant Reformation by his satanic power given to the order directly
by the devil for the purpose of overthrowing the Reformation.
But Wiley continues...
An army to conquer the world Loyola was forming, but he knew that nothing is
stronger than its weakest part, and therefore the soundness of every link,
the thorough discipline and tried fidelity of every soldier in this mighty host was
with him an essential point.
That could be secured only by making each individual, before enrolling himself,
pass through an ordeal that should sift and try and harden him to the utmost.
But first, the company of Jesus had to elect a head that dignity was offered to
Loyola.
He modestly declined the post as Julius Caesar did the diadem.
After four days spent in prayer and penance, the disciples returned and humbly
supplicated him to be their chief.
Ignatius, viewing this as an intimation of the will of God, consented.
He was the first general of the order.
Few royal scepters bring with them such an amount of real power as this election
bestowed on Loyola.
The day would come when the tiara itself would bow before that yet mightier
authority which was represented by the cap of the general of the Jesuits.
So, we have Loyola becoming an absolute monarch over the Jesuit order and
ultimately over the papacy.
While I continue this, let us next attend to the organization of the society.
The Jesuit monarchy covers the globe.
At its head, as we have said, is a sovereign who rules over all, but is
himself ruled over by no one.
First comes six grand divisions, termed assistances, satrapies,
or princetoms.
By the way, today there are ten assistances, and there is an American
assistant to the Jesuit Superior General Peter Hans Kolvenbach.
It is this American Jesuit assistant who is the most powerful American Jesuit and
one of the most powerful Jesuits in the world, and he too is a general,
but he is not the Superior General.
These comprehend the space stretching from the Indies to the Mediterranean,
more particularly India, Spain and Portugal, Germany and France, Italy and
Sicily, Poland and Lithuania.
Outside this area, the Jesuits have established missions.
The heads of these six divisions act as coadjutors to their general.
They are his staff, the cabinet.
The Jesuit general has a staff of assistants to him, and a confessor,
and an advisor.
So the Jesuit general is taking advice from the scriptures, by employing the
maxim, in the multitude of counsel there is safety.
Continue...
These six great divisions are subdivided into 37 provinces.
Today there are 85 provinces.
Over each province is placed a chief, termed a provincial.
In America there are 10 provincials, corresponding to our 10 regional
governments.
The provinces are again subdivided into a variety of houses or establishments.
First come the houses of the professed, provided over by their provost.
Next come the colleges or houses of the novices and scholars, presided over by
their rector or superior.
Where these cannot be established, residences are erected for the
accommodation of the priests, who preambulate the district, preaching and
hearing confessions.
And by the way, the confessional is nothing more than a system of
international espionage.
These men have no power to forgive sins.
They are gathering information for the benefit of the Jesuit general,
the fruit of the quest to make the Pope the universal monarch of the world,
and thus is their phrase, Ad Majorem De Gloriam, or for the greater glory of God.
And lastly may be mentioned, mission houses, in which Jesuits live unnoticed as
secular clergy, but seeking by all possible means to promote the interests of
the society.
From his chamber in Rome, the eye of the general surveys the world of Jesuitism to
its farthest bounds.
There is nothing done in it, which he does not see.
There is nothing spoken in it, which he does not hear.
It becomes as to note the means by which this almost superhuman intelligence is
acquired.
Remember now, the Black Pope controls this international intelligence community,
composed of all the intelligence agencies of the earth.
Every year, a list of the houses and members of the society, with the name,
talents, virtues, and failings of each, is laid before the general.
In addition to the annual report, every one of the 37 provincials must send
him a report monthly of the state of his province.
This is, by the way, the political, as well as the spiritual state of the
province.
Can you imagine what the 10 provincials in America do when they send their monthly
report to the Jesuit general on the state of things in the United States?
He must inform him minutely of its political and ecclesiastical conditions.
Every superior of a college must report once every three months.
This means Georgetown University and Fordham University, being two of the 28
major universities that Jesuits control in this country.
The heads of houses of residence, the heads of novitiates, must do the same.
In short, from every quarter of his vast dominions come a monthly and a tri-monthly
report.
If the matter reported on has reference to persons outside the society, the
Constitution is direct that the provincials and superiors shall write to
the general in cipher.
That means code.
Secret code.
Such precautions are taken against enemies, says M.G.
Shallois, who was a Frenchman.
Is the system of the Jesuits inimical to all governments?
Thus to the general of the Jesuits, thus to the general of the Jesuits,
the world lies naked and open.
He sees by a thousand eyes, he hears by a thousand ears, and when he has a behest to
execute, he can select the fittest agent from an ennualable host, all of whom are
ready to do his bidding.
One of the Jesuit generals says, we even have martyrs for our purposes.
The past history, the good and the evil qualities of every member of his society,
his talents, his dispositions, his inclinations, his tastes, his secret
thoughts, have all been strictly examined, minutely chronicled, and laid before the
eye of the general.
It is the same as if he were present in person, and had seen and conversed with
him.
All ranks, from the nobleman, to the day laborer, all trades, from the opulent
banker, to the shoemaker and porter, all professions, from the stole dignitary
and the learned professor, to the cowled mendicant, all grades of literary men,
from the philosopher, the mathematician, and the historian, to the schoolmaster and
the reporter, on the provincial newspaper, are enrolled in the society.
These are called Jesuit coadjutors.
America is full of them.
Marshaled in a continued attendance before their chief stand his host, so large in
numbers and so various in gifts.
At his word they go, and at his word they come, speeding over seas and mountains,
across frozen steppes, or burning plains on his errand.
Pestilence or battle, or death may lie in his path.
The Jesuit's obedience is not less prompt.
Selecting one, the general sends him to the royal cabinet.
Making choice of another, he opens him the door of parliament.
A third he enrolls in a political club, like the Jacobins.
A fourth he places in the pulpit of a church, whose creed he professes that he
may betray it.
A fifth he commands to mingle in the saloons of the low peoples.
A sixth he sends to act his part in the evangelical conference.
A seventh he sits beside the domestic hearth.
And an eighth he sends afar off to barbarous tribes, where, speaking a
strange tongue and wearing a rough garment, he executes amidst hardships and
perils the will of his superior.
There is no disguise which the Jesuit will not wear, nor art he will not employ,
nor motive he will not feign, no creed he will not profess, provided only he can
acquit himself as a true soldier of the Jesuit army and accomplish the work on
which he has been set forth.
We have men, exclaimed the general exultingly, as he glanced over the long
roll of philosophers, orators, statesmen, and scholars who stood before
him, ready to serve him in the state or in the church, in the camp or in the school,
at home or abroad.
We have men for martyrdom, if they be required.
Men like Captain Smith of the Titanic.
We go on in Wiley's work and read a bit more.
We have traced to some length the long and severe discipline which every member must
undergo before being admitted into the secret class by that way of eminence
constitute the society.
Before arriving on the threshold of the inner circle of Jesuitism, three times has
the candidate passed through that terrible ordeal.
First as a novice, secondly as a scholar, thirdly as a coadjutor.
Is his training held to be complete when he is admitted among the professed?
No.
A fourth time must he undergo the same dreadful process.
He is thrown back again into the crucible and kept kept amid his fires, till pride
and obstinacy and self-will and love of ease, till judgment, soul, and conscience
have all been purged out of him, and then he comes forth fully refined,
completely tempered and hardened, a vessel fully fitted for the use of his
general, prepared to execute with a conscience that never remonstrates his
most terrible command, and to undertake with a will that never rebels the most
difficult and dangerous enterprises he may assign him.
In the words of an eloquent writer, talk of drilling and discipline.
Why, the drilling and the discipline which gave to Alexander the men that marched in
triumph from Macedon to this Indus, to Caesar, the men that marched in triumph
from Rome to the wilds of Caledonia, to Hannibal, the men that marched in
triumph from Carthage to Rome, to Napoleon, the men whose achievements
surpassed in brilliance the united glories of the soldiers of Macedon, of Carthage,
and of Rome, and to Wellington, the men who smote into the dust the very
flower of Napoleon's chivalry.
Why, the drilling and the discipline of all these combined cannot, in point of
stern, rigid, and protracted severity for a moment, be compared to the drilling and
discipline which fitted and molded men for becoming full members of the militant
institute of the Jesuits." Such Loyola saw was the core that was needed to confront
the armies of Protestantism and turn back the advancing tide of light and liberty.
By the way, the United States Marine Corps is patterned after the Jesuit Order.
One of the things they do in the Corps in basic training is they break your will
into the dust, so that they can remold you and make you into an absolute obedient
slave to your superior, and that is why the Marine Corps is patterned after the
Jesuit Corps.
Continuing on with Wiley, we shall have a few more words.
Now we shall go to Thompson, just for a few minutes, in his Footprints of the
Jesuits.
He says, concerning the Jesuits, "...their society is so united and compact
that its ranks cannot be broken.
They are everywhere the same, moved by a common impulse under the dictation of
their general in Rome.
They are the deadly enemies of civil and religious liberty.
Nothing that stands in their way can become so sacred as to escape their
vengeance.
Protestantism has borne no fruits to which they have ever been reconciled.
They consider the Reformation which gave birth to it to have been criminal
resistance to the only rightful authority upon Earth, that which proceeds from
church and state combined.
They believe that the condition of mankind during the Middle Ages, staggering under
the weight of feudal oppression, was preferable to modern progress and
enlightenment, that human happiness would be promoted by the return to that period,
that the political right of self-government by the people cannot be
set up against the higher right of papal and monarchial power, and that the
progress of the advancing nations is delusive and unsubstantial, and that
institutions which guarantee civil and religious freedom, if not arrested by some
coercive power strong enough to put an end to them, will lead, through heresy,
to social ruin and desolation.
If at the period of the Reformation the society had not been established for the
express purpose of counteracting its influence, a knowledge of the difference
between primitive Christianity and the prevailing dogmas might have led to such
reforms as would have reconciled Christians to dwell together in peace and
concord.
But when a dove should have been sent forth bearing the olive branch of
Christian charity, the society sprang from the brain of a disappointed military
adventurer and began at once to scatter the seeds of strife and discord.
Almost from the beginning it has been a disturber of the peace of nations,
suffering only such as have bestowed patronage upon it to escape its
maledictions and the plottings.
The members of the society are numerous and powerful in the United States.
They are constantly increasing, mainly by accessions from their drilled
and disciplined companions in Europe, but also by conversions of unsuspecting
young men who are seduced by their vain and supercilious pretensions as educators.
They are, as they have always been, selfish and vindictive, restless under
opposition, and compromising in nothing.
They have neither country, nor homes, nor families, nor friendships beyond the
limits of their order, none of the affections of a heart which give them
charm to life and social intercourse.
Being required to abandon all these and fit themselves for uninquiring obedience
to their general, whose commands, whether right or wrong, good or bad,
they have solemnly vowed to execute without the least regard for consequences.
Having persistently refused to become reconciled to the forms and methods of
Christian civilization which prevail among our Protestant population, once in
Protestant America, they employ all the resources they can command in endeavoring
to arrest them.
They insist the church and state shall be united wheresoever they are separate,
and that the basis of such union shall be the subordination of the state to the
church.
Self-government by the people is held by them to be violative of the divine law,
and on that account may rightfully be resisted as heretical, when its overthrow
can be assured.
They will allow no rights to exist in either states, peoples, or individuals
against what they consider the prerogatives of their society as defined
by their general, who, in their estimation, possesses the divine right to
enlarge or contract them at his own pleasure.
There must be no limitation to the power and independence of the Pope, either in
the spiritual or temporal domain, except where the interests of their
society command otherwise.
And they must be full, absolute, unquestioned to the extent defined by
himself.
His liberty must be such that he may, at his own discretion, curtail the
liberties of all others.
His spiritual sovereignty must include whatsoever he shall embrace within it.
Neither the existence nor the extent of his sovereignty must be brought in
question before any human tribunal.
That means he is a sovereign.
But he alone shall define it, together with the character of the obedience he
shall exact.
And if, in the course of the painful economy, he should ever find it necessary
to hold in one hand emblems of harmony and peace, this restless and uncompromising
society stands always ready to place the rod of chastisement in the other.
The conflict of opinions, therefore, in which the Protestant people of the
United States find themselves engaged is not of their inviting.
They are unwilling parties to it.
Because of this, a sense of both duty and security demands that the history and
character of this skilled and powerful adversary, alien birth and growth and
sentiment, should be understood.
These are the Jesuits.
These are the ones we do war with.
And we must know completely about them if we are to succeed.

Good evening and welcome to the Investigative Journal.
And like I mentioned earlier this week, periodically we suspend regular
broadcasting and provide online educational courses in basically what is
the hidden truth that's been kept from the American people and the people of the
world.
The course we're discussing this week is being taught to us by Eric John Phelps and
it's called Understanding the Jesuits.
This is part three of the course and now I'll turn it over to Eric for the
following two hours.
Go ahead, Eric.
Pleasure to be with you and the listeners.
We should now embark upon after we have read about the establishment of the Jesuit
Order their influence in the doctrines of the papacy and specifically the Council of
Trent.
The Council of Trent and its maxims must ever be on our mind if we are to
understand that Rome never changes.
Even according to the documents of Vatican II, every Pope must swear that he will
uphold the doctrines of the Council of Trent.
The Protestant Reformation was breaking the temple power of the Pope throughout
northern Europe.
Whole nations were breaking away.
Germany, Holland, Denmark, England and others.
And therefore it was the Jesuits who came to the forefront.
The mighty warriors for the Pope that they are and were.
For the purpose of bringing Europe and the world back to fealty to the Pope.
To kiss his toe.
To worship him as God manifests in the flesh.
Evidence that he is dressed in white and thus divine.
According to the doctrines of Rome.
So the Jesuits began to codify the most important maxims of the papacy that had
ever been written from Thomas Aquinas to the present in 1545 when the Council of
Trent began in Trent, Italy.
Its purpose was to thwart and resist the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation
and thus to destroy it.
This was the spine, the backbone of the Jesuit Order's counter-reformation.
So what we have beginning now is this great dialectic.
This key to our understanding of history for the last 500 years.
Reformation and the doctrines of the Bible versus the counter-reformation and the
evil designs of Rome as codified in the Council of Trent.
We are looking now at Dowling's History of Romanism in a chapter titled, Popery at
Trent.
Popery at Trent.
On page 475 we read Book 7 Popery at Trent From the opening sessions of the Council
of Trent A.D.
1545 to the closing session A.D.
1563 At the time of Luther's death, the Fathers of Trent had just commenced
the celebrated Council called at that city by Pope Paul III partly with the professed
design of promoting a reform of the abuses of the Church and of the morals and
manners of the clergy which was so loudly demanded but cheaply for the purpose of
rooting out the Lutheran heresy in an opposition to the doctrines of the German
Reformers of stating and defining with more exactitude and precision than ever
before The opening session of the Council of Trent was held on the 13th of December,
1545, and the closing session was not held until the month of December, 1563,
after several suspensions and intermissions, about 18 years from its
commencement.
The Council of Trent is the last general council ever held by the Romanist Church,
as of 1845, and consequently the very highest source of authority as to the
present doctrines and character of Romanism.
In the present chapter we shall give a synopsis of the most remarkable doctrinal
decrees of the different sessions of the celebrated council.
The writer then begins to describe all 25 sessions of the Council of Trent,
and we shall just merely touch on two of the most important ones.
Page 478, The History of Romanism, John Dowling, 1845.
It is contained in my old book CD, my Vatican Assassins III CD.
The second session was held January 7th, 1546, which chiefly consumed in
discussions as to the style to be adopted by the Council and the order of the future
proceedings, whether they should commence with doctrine or discipline.
Several of the members of the Council desired the insertion of the words,
representing the universal church, unquote.
In the debate which ensued, the Bishop of Feltry observed that if the clause were
admitted, the Protestants would take occasion to say that since the church is
composed of two orders, the clergy and the laity, and of course the Bible has nothing
to say of anything about any clergy or any laity, it could not be fully represented
if the latter were excluded.
To this the Bishop of St. Mark replied that the laity could not be termed the
church, since according to the canons they had only to obey the commands laid upon
them.
That one reason why the Council was called was to decide that laymen, again there is
no such term in the Bible, ought to receive the faith which the church
dictated without disputing or reasoning.
And that consequently the clause should be inserted to convince them that they were
not the church and had nothing to do but to hear and submit.
Do you hear that Roman Catholics?
The Council of Trent says you are not the Roman Catholic Church.
You are not part of the ruling body of the papacy.
Your duty is merely to hear and submit like the animals they consider you to be.
The third session was celebrated on February 4, 1546 and nothing was done
except to adopt a decree of the Council to repeat the Nicene Creed.
The fourth session was celebrated on April 8, 1546 and was one of the most important
sessions of the Council.
In this session a decree was passed which placed tradition upon an equality with the
scriptures, declared the books of the Apocrypha, which are nothing more than
Jewish fairy tales, to be a part of the word of God, elevated the Latin
translation of the scriptures called the Vulgate to an authority superior to that
of the inspired Hebrew and Greek originals, and enacted severe penal laws
against the liberty of the press.
We must repeat this.
What the Council did was it placed tradition on an equality with the
scriptures.
This is a sign of any cult.
The Mormons place the Pearl of Great Price and Doctrine of Covenants and the Book of
Mormon, all of them on an equal footing with the Bible.
This is why Mormonism is a cult.
And of course I can prove that it was started by Jesuits through high-level
Freemasons like Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
Further, the Council declared the books of the Apocrypha to be part of the word of
God.
The Apocrypha, if you have ever read them, are nothing more than Jewish fairy tales
or Jewish fables that the Apostle Paul warns the writer in Timothy not to read or
be carried away with.
Because in these fairy tales, some of the doctrines of Rome are substantiated,
such as auricular confession.
What else did the Council do?
It elevated the Latin translation of the scriptures called the Vulgate.
This is Jerome's Latin Vulgate.
This is sheer heresy.
And as Bible believers, we utterly reject it as corrupt, having nothing to do with
the true scriptures.
The Council goes on and says,
What it tells you there is that the Jesuits completely throw out the Hebrew
text, the Masoretic text, and the Greek originals.
Most of the Greek text's receptives are also called the Byzantine text,
which was the Greek text of the Orthodox Church for many centuries, until about the
20th century.
I'll never forget the day I went into a Greek Orthodox Church.
I knew this one girl, she lived in Washington, and she decided to take me to
the Orthodox Church.
She brought me into the pastor's study there, and I said, Do you mind if I take a
look at your Greek text?
She said, sure, go ahead.
I looked at it, and it was Nephil's text.
Eberhard Nestle's text, which is nothing more than a modernized Westcott and Hort
Greek text, which is nothing more than Jerome's Latin Vulgate, put in a Greek
text to overthrow the Texas Receptives, the foundation for the Reformation Bible,
the Geneva and the A.V.
1611.
So the Jesuits, whenever they are influential, will always reject the Hebrew
and Greek originals, and make you abide by Jerome's Latin Vulgate.
And it's most intriguing that many, many of the new versions of the English
Bibles are pro-Jerome's Latin Vulgate in their readings, pursuant to the Council of
Trent.
That is, the N.I.V., the N.A.S.B., the R.S.V., etc., etc., etc., all based on
a corrupt Greek text, Westcott and Hort's Greek text that was given to them by the
Jesuits, and snuck into the revision committee when they were busy overthrowing
the British Empire.
And then, Trent says that the Jesuits enacted severe penal laws against the
liberty of the press.
Do we enjoy the liberty of the press?
Do we enjoy the right to be able to speak as we are speaking even now?
Of course we do!
We realize this doesn't exist in about 80% of the rest of the world, and it only
exists there in part, in this country, in this very dark time.
But the liberty of the press was a maxim championed by the Reformers and by the
Baptists.
And the liberty of the press is condemned by the Council of Trent.
People say to me, oh, the Pope is a nice man.
My father said to me, there are a lot of people that like him.
My father's wife is a Roman Catholic, a very nice lady.
I said, Dad, it has nothing to do with the personality of the priest.
It has everything to do with the doctrine that he stands for.
John Paul II can apologize all day long for the Crusades and for the Inquisition
and for the Third Reich, but until the Council of Trent is trashed, it means
nothing.
We need to hate these doctrines.
Anybody that says we do not have the freedom of the press, we need to hate what
they have said.
And this is what Trent does.
Tradition was declared of an equal authority with the Scripture.
This is evidence of any cult.
We continue...
Again we repeat, the Apocrypha teaches, as do the Papers, that a man can justify
himself and make atonement for his sins by his own works.
The Inspired Word of God ascribes justification and atonement wholly to the
merit of Christ's righteousness and the efficacy of his sufferings.
So here we have the Great Divide.
Cainite religion, as founded by Cain when he offered the fruit of the garden that he
had planted to the Lord.
These were symbolic of his good works.
Of his works that he did in his own flesh.
And that he would use these works, these supposedly good works, as a reason
to justify himself before God and God would accept his sacrifice.
And the Lord rejected Cain and his sacrifice.
The Lord told Cain to go get a lamb and cut its throat and bleed it.
And the blood of the lamb will be acting as an atonement and reckoning for your
sins.
But Cain would refuse to shed the blood of the lamb in foreshadowing the coming of
the Son of God.
For he is the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.
And what does he do?
He gets angry and says, OK Lord, if you want some blood shed, I'll shed
some blood.
And he kills his brother Abel.
Here we have the two camps that exist in the world today.
Those that follow the religion of Cain and their supposed good works.
And those few that follow the Lord Jesus Christ, entrusting in the blood of the
lamb, having been washed in his precious blood, and have no righteousness in and of
ourselves except what has been imputed to us by the grace of God.
As we are declared to be justified, having believed the gospel by his grace.
And those who justify themselves by their good works are always the persecutors of
those of us who have fled to Christ as our refuge and accepting him as the Lamb of
God.
We don't persecute the Cainites.
The Cainites persecute us.
That's always the way it is.
So the Apocrypha is Romish, it goes back to Jewish fairy tales, and ultimately it
rests in Babylonian mythological religion that hates God and hates his word.
And Trent embodies this.
And Trent is today.
When Cardinal Ratzinger was made Pope Benedict XVI, he swore to uphold this
iniquitous, this wicked counsel of Trent.
Whose overseer was Diego Lainez, who was a Jesuit and a Jew by race.
One of the last Jews by race to ever be allowed into the Jesuits until 1946.
And it was this Lainez who oversaw the counsel of Trent.
In chapter 2, with the fourth session continued, the Latin Vulgate exalted above
the inspired Hebrew and Greek scriptures, private judgment and liberty of the press
forbidden, and a Popish censorship of the press established.
This is what happened as a result of Trent.
You no longer have freedom of speech.
You do not have freedom of press.
And this is why the Jesuits hate the First Amendment.
They want that First Amendment flushed.
And you know what?
It already is to a large part.
Because of the legal schools, the law schools in this country.
Remember, one out of every ten lawyers is trained by Jesuits.
The foremost law schools in this country are Jesuit institutions like Georgetown
University Law Center.
And what do they do?
They have had Supreme Court decisions, and they have enticed churches to get a
501c3 status, and thus uniting church and state.
And as a result, there is in fact no more separation of church, an organized church
religion, the papacy, and the government of the United States.
It is no longer separated.
And when possible, specifically through this 9-11 fiasco, and the recent laws that
have been passed, the Patriot Acts, there will be no more First Amendment,
Second Amendment, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth.
They are all going to be gone, because those amendments limit the powers
of the federal government.
And the form of government that the Jesuits seek to establish everywhere is
absolutist fascism.
Where there are no limits whatsoever on the powers of those people who call
themselves the government.
This is all embodied in the Council of Trent.
That every priest must read and study before he is ever ordained to the Roman
priesthood.
We continue on...
The right of private judgment in reading the scriptures is prohibited, and its
exercise punished.
We read here, in one of the maxims of Trent, it says, quote, In order to
restrain petulant minds, the counsel for the decrees, that in matters of faith and
morals, and whatever relates to the maintenance of Christian doctrine,
no one confiding in his own judgment shall dare to rest the sacred scriptures to his
own sense of them.
Get that.
No one confiding in his own judgment shall dare to rest the sacred scriptures,
the Vulgate, to his own sense of them.
Contrary to that which hath been held, and still is held, by Holy Mother Church,
whose right it is to judge of the true meaning and interpretation of sacred writ,
the Vulgate, or contrary to the unanimous consent of the Fathers, even though such
interpretations should never be published.
If any disobey, let him be denounced by the ordinaries, and punished according to
law.
And that punishment, most of the time, was death by fire.
That's right.
You did not have the right to own a Bible in your own language, and sit around your
hearth, and rejoice in the wonderful doctrines of the Word of God.
If you were discovered, you were arrested by the Inquisitor.
They would take your Bible, they would burn it, and they would take you down
three stories below the ground, and torture a confession out of you.
After they burned your feet, flayed the skin off your flesh, plucked out your
eyes, cut off your breasts if you were women.
After they gave you the water torture of letting a slow drip and rag go down into
your mouth, and then ripping it out when it got down into your stomach.
Hanging you up with your arms behind you with a rock tied to your feet,
and then bouncing you up and down until your arms were broken.
Until you couldn't move, tearing out your tongue so you couldn't speak.
Putting your eyes out with hot pincers, pouring molten lead into your ears.
All these things were done for centuries by the Jesuits and their Inquisition,
enforcing the Council of Trent, and they're dying to enforce it here.
They can't wait.
The liberty of the press, authoritatively also forbidden.
So now, we don't have the right to private judgment, we don't have the right to read
the Scriptures, we don't have the right to converse and talk about what the Scripture
may or may not mean.
I mean, what higher conversation can we have?
And now we don't have the liberty of the press to publish what we've concluded,
publish what we've come to.
This is why my book, Vatican Assassins, will not be sold in Barnes and Noble.
It will not be sold in any major bookstore.
They refuse to sell it on the shelf.
They may order it, but they will never carry it.
Because it's these kinds of things that are exposed, and when people see what a
horrible compendium of wicked doctrines is in the Council of Trent, they begin to
think.
We continue on, page 491.
These rules are the laws of the Romish Church, in precisely the same sense as the
statute enacted by the House of Representatives and Senate of the United
States, and signed by the President, becomes the law of the American nation.
And all Popish bishops and priests are bound to enforce these laws, wherever
Popery prevails, to the very utmost of their ability.
Let the Protestant lover of his Bible, and of that glorious bulwark of liberty,
the freedom of the press, pay particular attention to the passages marked by
italics or capitals, and then say whether it is possible for freedom to exist in any
land where Popery is the predominant religion, and the priests of Rome possess
the power to enforce these laws of their church.
And that's what's coming to America.
As the priest, as the Archbishop of New York rules this country, he is the Prince
of the Church, the King of America, ruling from his castle, St. Patrick's
Cathedral in New York City.
Don't you think for one minute that he does everything he can to control the
press, through the Knights of Malta that he controls, working in Rockefeller
Center, right across the street from St. Patrick's Cathedral.
It's Rockefeller Center, from which publish all the major periodicals of this
country, Time, Life, you've got CIA there, British Intelligence there, all making
sure that you get lied to.
All on orders of the Archbishop of New York, because he controls the press in
this country, through the Council on Foreign Relations, as he employs many of
his Masonic Jewish labor Zionists, who rule Israel for the benefit of the
Papacy.
All of this is in accordance with the Council of Trent.
Continuing on, Potpourri at Trent.
We see some of the other doctrines of the Reformation that are condemned.
Quote, whoever shall affirm that newborn infants, even those sprung from baptized
parents, ought not to be baptized, let him be accursed.
Now we start the sessions where the Jesuits are accursing all the Protestants.
The Jesuits put in excess of 100 curses on the Protestants of the Reformation because
of the doctrines of the Word of God that these Protestants and Baptists preached.
So if you don't believe that infants should be baptized, and of course baptism
is by immersion, it's not by sprinkling, you're under a curse.
The Bible teaches no such thing as infant baptism.
The Bible teaches that when you're saved and you receive Christ as your Savior,
it's then and only then that you follow the Lord in baptism.
Not a minute before.
But oh no, if you believe this, you're accursed.
Whosoever shall deny that the guilt of original sin is remitted by the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ, bestowed in baptism, if anyone thinks differently,
let him be accursed.
So therefore those of us who do not believe in such thing as baptismal
regeneration, that you have to be baptized to be saved, if we don't believe that and
the Bible teaches no such thing, including the 16th chapter of Mark,
we're under a curse.
And if we're accursed, we can be killed.
And to kill a heretic is no murder.
Continuing on...
Whosoever shall affirm that justification received is not preserved and even
increased in the sight of God by good works, but that works are only the fruits
and evidences of justification received and not the causes of its increase,
let him be accursed.
So therefore, if you don't believe in works salvation, if you believe in
justification by grace through faith and it's not of yourself, it's the gift of
God, Ephesians 2, 8 and 9, that there are no works you can do that are pleasing to
God that will give you salvation and justification before God, you are
accursed.
Why?
Because Romanism is canine religion.
It is the worship of man, the works of man's hands, and it's your works in the
light of the priests, in the eyes of the Pope, that justify you before God,
or the God of the papacy.
And this God is not the God of the Bible, it's the devil.
The devil's great religion is works salvation.
You've got to do this, you've got to do that, you can't do this, you can't do
that, you must do this, you must do that.
The Bible teaches you, we're not under law, but we're under grace.
For grace, for sin shall not have dominion over you, for you're not under law,
but under grace.
Once you are saved by the grace of God, yes, we do have good works, but those are
only evidence of our salvation.
To say good works save you is heresy.
And if you say this in a Catholic country where the priests rule, they will put you
to death.
Continue on...
Whosoever shall affirm that a righteous man sins in every good work, at least
venially, or which is yet more intolerable mortally.
And of course there's no such thing as a venial or mortal sin in the Bible,
that's all Romish trash.
And that he therefore...
Fight the fight.
We are here to equip you.
Because you love the truth.

If you read the history books, the most often asked question to
southerners was this.
Why did you fight?
And the most often given answer is because you are here.
In other words, the south did not invade the north.
The north invaded the south.
Was it the Civil War or War of Federal Aggression?

Okay, we continue on with Potpourri at Trent.
Potpourri at Trent, page 509 of Dowling's History of Romanism, 1845.
How miserably debased must be the soul and intellect of a rational being before he
can submit to a religion which enjoins such rules as the above.
The votaries of Jupiter, Diana, and Juggernaut would be ashamed of them.
Is it possible for the priest to believe these disgusting absurdities?
And what is he talking about?
Let's read what Trent has to say concerning, quote-unquote, the Eucharist.
And remember this Eucharist is this little Jesus cookie that the priest pronounces
some magic hocus-pocus words in Latin.
And all of a sudden, ipso facto, this little wafer that dissolves in your
mouth, you don't even have to chew it, all of a sudden turns into the literal,
physical flesh of the Jesus Christ of Romanism.
And you eat it.
And the question arises, what happens if this piece of flesh of the literal Jesus
Christ falls on the floor?
What should you do?
Chinoquy puts the question, what would happen if a mouse grabbed it and ran in a
hole?
God forbid, what would happen if one of these Eucharists was flushed down the
toilet into the sewer?
Well, here's what Trent has to say about such a thing with regard to,
quote-unquote, the Eucharist.
If the priest vomit the Eucharist, and the species appear entire,
he must piously swallow it again.
But if a nausea prevent him, then let the consecrated species be cautiously
separated, and put by in some holy place, till they be corrupted, and after,
let them be cast into holy ground.
But if the species, the Eucharist, the little Jesus cookie, do not appear,
the vomit must be burned, and the ashes thrown into holy ground.
Can you believe the doctrine of Trent?
This is absolutely insanity.
And this was one of the doctrines of Trent.
This is the absurdities you come to when you believe that this little cookie,
this little wafer, all of a sudden, by magical powers of the priest,
becomes the literal body of Jesus Christ.
And this is the doctrine of Trent, that every priest swears to uphold,
and that every Pope swears to uphold.
No matter how learned or scientific they may appear on their face, they believe
these absurdities and superstitions.
We go on...
Whosoever shall affirm that baptism is indifferent, that is, not necessary to
salvation, let him be accursed.
We touched on that.
So we have this Council of Trent, whereby the Jesuits condemn doctrine after
doctrine after doctrine of the Protestant Reformation.
And this serves to be the foundation of the Order's Counter-Reformation.
Now we will continue on.
Let's be delivered of this heresy and this vexation of soul, from auricular
confession to everything else that the papacy does to create works to justify you
before God.
And let's go to one of the perversions, an even greater perversion, called the
Garden of the Soul, printed in 1844.
Donnelly writes on page 516...
The disgusting indecency of auricular confession and its necessarily corrupting
influence, both to priest and penitent, must be evident to all when the nature of
the subject is considered upon which the priests are bound to examine their female
penitence relative to violations of the laws of chastity.
And again, the Jesuits are masters of these questions.
I have now lying before me the edition of the Garden of the Soul, printed in 1844 in
New York.
And as we are informed on the title page, quote, with the approbation of the Right
Reverend Donnelly, Bishop of New York.
This is Dagger John Hughes.
On pages 213 and 214 of that popular Roman Catholic Book of Devotion, I find the
following questions, in English, for the examination of conscience on the
Sixth Commandment.
Namely, really the Seventh Commandment, thou shalt not commit adultery.
They are transcribed verbatim et literum, with the omission of portions of two of
the queries, which are calculated to suggest modes of pollution and crime that
a pure-minded person would never think of.
I had thought at first of translating these questions into Latin, and throwing
them into a note.
But they are printed in plain English, in a popular Book of Devotion,
issued under the auspices of the most celebrated Romish Bishop in America,
and to be found in the hands of almost every Roman Catholic.
And it is nothing but right that Protestants, and especially those who send
their daughters to Roman Catholic seminaries, should know the kind of
queries that will be proposed by the priest in the secret confessional to their
wives and their daughters, in case they should be induced to embrace the religion
of Rome.
I must be excused for omitting recent portions of the two vilest questions in
the filthy list.
I dare not pollute my page with them.
The work in which they are found can be procured by any Roman Catholic storybook.
The following are the questions.
Now get a load of this.
Have you been guilty of fornication, or adultery, or incest, or any sin against
nature, either with a person of the same sex, or with any other creature?
How often?
Or have you designed or attempted any such sin, or sought to induce others to it?
How often?
Have you been guilty of self-pollution, namely masturbation, or of immodest
touches of yourself?
How often?
Have you touched others or permitted yourself to be touched by others
immodestly, or given or taken wanton kisses or embraces, or any such liberties?
How often?
Have you looked at immodest objects with pleasure or danger, read immodest books or
songs to yourself or others, kept indecent pictures, willingly given ear to or taken
pleasure in hearing loose discourse, etc., or sought to see or hear anything
that was immodest?
How often?
Have you exposed yourself to wanton company, or played at any indecent play,
or frequented masquerades, balls, comedies, etc., with danger to your
chastity?
How often?
Have you been guilty of any immodest disclosures, discourses, wanton stories,
jests, or songs, or words of double meaning?
How often?
And before, how many?
And were the persons before whom you spoke or sung married or single?
For all this you are obliged to confess by reason of the evil thoughts these things
are apt to create in the hearers.
Have you abused the marriage bed by, and then it's blotted out, or by any
pollutions, or been guilty of any irregularity in order, and that's blotted
out?
How often?
Have you, without a just cause, refused the marriage debt?
And what sin may have followed from it?
How often?
Have you debauched any person that was indecent, innocent before?
Have you forced any person, or deluded anyone, by deceitful promises,
or designed, or desired so to do?
How often?
You are obliged to make satisfaction for the injury you have done.
Have you taught anyone evil which he knew not before, or carried anyone to lewd
houses?
How often?
I mean, this goes on and on and on.
What do you think this does to the minds of these poor women and poor young girls
when these priests are hammering them with these filthy, disgusting questions?
Is it any wonder why Roman Catholic nations are rampant with prostitution?
It's the priests that have ruined the women with these kinds of questions.
And all of this, all of this, is validated by the counsel of Trent, as it protects
the office of priest, as he exercises his works under the authority of the Pope of
Rome, whom Jeremiah Crowley called the chief of white slavers and the high priest
of intrigue.
We continue on with a few final verses here, from Trent.
Whoever shall affirm that the satisfactions by which penitents redeem
themselves from sin through Christ Jesus are no part of the service of God,
but, on the contrary, human traditions which obscure the doctrine of grace and
the worship of God and the benefits of the death of Christ, which all of
Bible-believing men would say, let him be accursed.
We are all accursed under the counsel of Trent.
And therefore the Jesuits, pursuant to their fourth vow, and pursuant to the
doctrines of Thomas Aquinas, as I read last night, can kill us with war,
famine, a medical inquisition like they have been doing to us in the United States
for the last hundred years, killing us with allopathic medicine.
It's all an inquisition.
Serving us foods, having all these foods in these supermarkets full of estrogens
and pesticides and herbicides so that we can all come down with cancer.
Vaccinating us when we are dear, sweet children where we have no disease,
really, so that we can get cancer in our later life, or even more recently get
autism and ADD because of these stinking, filthy, wicked vaccinations that they
intimidate us to get, so we can send our children to public school where they can
be taught, where they cannot read the Bible at all.
It's an inquisition on a grand scale beyond our wildest dreams, and it opens
before us as we read the doctrines of Trent.
It's the counter-reformation to revert the world back to the Dark Ages, when the Pope
was the king of the world.
Well, now that we've examined Trent and seen what the Jesuits seek to enforce,
and this is just a tiny tidbit of it, we shall go now to Reverend Wiley.
I won't use the word Reverend, there's only one Reverend.
It's the Lord Holy, and Reverend is his name, Psalm 111.
We will go to this minister, James Wiley, and what he wrote in his great work,
History of Protestantism, second volume, book 15, on the Jesuits.
Here are a few more quotes from him.
He writes on page 394, and I have this all copied in my third edition of Vatican
Assassins in the back.
So stood the society of Jesus, a deep and wide gulf separated from all
other communities and interests.
Set free from the love of family, from the tithes of kindred, from the
claims of country, and from the rule of law, careless of the happiness they might
destroy, and the misery and pain and woe they might inflict, the members were at
liberty, without control or challenge, to pursue their terrible end, which was
the dethronement of every other power, the extinction of every other interest but
their own, and the reduction of mankind into abject slavery, that on the ruins of
the liberty, the virtue, and the happiness of the world, they might raise themselves
to supreme, unlimited domination, or dominion.
But we have not yet detailed all the appliances with which the Jesuits were
careful to furnish themselves for the execution of their unspeakably audacious
and diabolical design.
In the midst of these abysses there opens to our eye a yet profounder abyss,
to enjoy exemption from all human authority, and from every earthly law was
to them a small matter.
Nothing would satisfy their lust for license, save the entire abrogation of the
moral law, and nothing would appease their pride, save to trample underfoot the
majesty of heaven.
We now come to speak of the moral code of the Jesuits.
And I would like to comment just a little bit on this.
The Jesuits are indeed above the law.
The Jesuits run the Department of Justice.
I call it the Department of Injustice.
For if you go to the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.
to the gate that opens at the front door, you will see the symbols of the Roman
Fascists.
A bundle of rods with an axe protruding on both sides of each gate.
This is the symbol of the Jesuit Fascism.
This is the symbol that the Jesuit Order's Knights of Columbus use, the Roman
Fascists.
You can see it on any one of their lodges or temples or whatever you want to call
it.
The Jesuits in this country are above the law, exactly as Wiley said they would be
in 1878.
One would think that this was license enough.
What more can the Jesuit need or what more can he possibly have, seeing by a little
effort of invention he can overlap every human and divine barrier and commit the
most horrible crimes on the mightiest possible scale and neither feel remorse or
conscience nor fear of punishment.
That's the Jesuit.
When a Jesuit is given the order to maim, destroy, steal, kill, he does so with
impunity and with no conscience as a stick in the hand of an old man, as Ignatius
Loyola said.
This is how they killed John F.
Kennedy.
This is how they killed Malcolm X.
That's right.
Cardinal Spellman oversaw it all with his Jesuit co-adjutors in the Dallas and New
York Police Departments, in the CIA and the FBI.
That's the kind of power Rome has in America and if it has that kind of power
in America, it's the same exact power in England, it's the same exact power in
Russia, it's the same exact power in China.
There is no difference.
There are no enemies at the top in government.
They are all ruled by the Jesuits.
We continue on with Wiley's work on page 398.
And three, that if one know to direct the intention or right, there is no deed,
be its moral character what it may, which one may not do, may seem to give a
license of acting so immense that to add thereto were an altogether superfluous and
indeed an impossible task.
But if the liberty with which these three maxims endowed the Jesuit cannot be made
larger, his particular applications may nevertheless be made more pointed,
and the man who holds back from using it in all its extent may be emboldened,
despite his remaining scruples or the dullness of his intellectual perceptions,
to avail himself to the utmost of the advantages it offers.
For the greater glory of God, ad majoriam de gloriam, and this is the Jesuits
greatest favorite phrase, ad majoriam de gloriam, everything is ad majoriam de
gloriam, for the greater glory of God.
But you see, it's not the God of heaven, it's the God that sits in Rome,
it's the Pope.
Everything the Jesuits do is for the greater glory, for the extending of his
spiritual and temporal power, it's for the greater glory of the Pope of Rome.
So you see, because he is God to the Jesuits, he dresses in white, he is
divine, he is the one who has recently said, all other branches of Christianity
are not Christian because they are not part of the Roman Catholic institution,
and anything apart from the Roman Catholic institution cannot be saved, cannot be
justified.
There is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church.
And when Benedict XVI said this two days ago, he did nothing but repeat the
doctrines of Trent.
Wiley repeats the same.
The Jesuit, he, is to be taught, not merely by general rules, but by
specific examples, how he may sin and yet not become sinful, how he may break the
law and yet not suffer the penalty.
But further, these sons of Loyola are the kings of the world, and the sole heirs of
all its wealth, honors, and pleasures, and whatever law, custom, sacred and
venerable office, august and kingly authority may stand between them and their
rightful lordship over mankind, they are at liberty to throw down and
tread into the dust as a vile and accursed thing.
The moral maxims of the Jesuits are to be put in force against kings as well as
against peasants.
This was written in 1878, when the Jesuits were already ruling England at this time,
and when they were ruling America at this time.
Wiley was right when he said, these sons of Loyola are the kings of the world.
We go on to page 399 of Wiley's History of the Protestantism, volume 2.
We have only to look around, and on every hand the melancholy monuments of those
doctrines meet our affected sight.
To what country of Europe shall we turn when we are not able to track the Jesuits
by his bloody footprints?
What page of modern history shall we open and not read fresh proofs that the papal
doctrine of killing excommunicated kings was not meant to slumber in forgotten
times, but to be acted out in the living world?
We see Henry III falling by their dagger.
Henry IV perishes by the same consecrated weapon.
The King of Portugal dies by their order.
The great Prince of Orange, William of Orange I, is dispatched, murdered by their
agents, shot down at the door of his own dining room with three poison bullets.
How many assassins they sent to England to murder Elizabeth, history attests.
That she escaped their machinations is one of the marvels of history.
Nor is it only the palaces of monarchs into which they have crept with their
doctrines of murder and assassination, the very sanctuary of their own popes they
have defiled with blood.
We behold Clement XIV signing the order for the banishment of the Jesuits.
That was Dominic Aquidemter Noster when it was a bull of suppression and extinction
in 1773.
And soon thereafter he is overtaken by their vengeance and dies by poison.
In the gunpowder plot we see them deliberately planning to destroy at one
blow the nobility and gentry of England when they sought to blow up the
Westminster Abbey.
To them we owe those civil wars which for so many years drenched with blood the fair
provinces of France.
By the way, with regard to the gunpowder plot, the movie V for Vendetta denies the
Jesuit hand in it.
Which shows you the power of the Jesuit order ruling Hollywood from one of their
great churches in Hollywood.
To them we owe those civil wars which for so many years drenched with blood the fair
provinces of France.
Yes, when they destroyed out the French Huguenots, they were the French
Calvinists.
The Jesuits killed them out, especially with the revocation of the Edict of Nantes
in 1685.
Drove them out, killed out the finest population of France, reduced it to
penury.
And for a hundred years the Bible was a forbidden book in France.
Throughout the entire reign of the wicked King Louis XIV, who is also glorified in
one of DiCaprio's movies on the Jesuits in Hollywood.
Philip II and the Jesuits share between them the guilt of the Invincible Armada.
Which instead of inflicting the measureless ruin and havoc, which as
authors intended by a most merciful providence, became the means of exhausting
the treasures and overthrowing the prestige of Spain.
This is when the Jesuits sent the Spanish Armada against England, seeking to
overthrow the Reformation, kill all the Protestants and restore Romanism as the
religion of England.
And also killing Elizabeth I, which the Jesuits called the Witch of the North and
the Bastard Queen.
We go on in Wiley's history of Protestantism.
Shrewd, practical and precise are the instructions of the Jesuits.
First of all, they are told to select the best points in that great field,
all of which they are in due time to subjugate and possess.
The field is Europe, the term Christendom.
They are to begin by establishing convents or colleges in the chief cities.
The great centers of population and wealth secured, the smaller places will be easily
occupied.
Charles Chenequy, who was a priest before he got saved, wrote in 50 years in the
Church of Rome, that the Jesuits marched to the conquering of America's cities.
And where do you find the most of Jesuit power and the most Roman Catholic
immigrants who have been used to serve the purposes of the papacy?
In the major cities, primarily of the North and in the West.
New York City, Washington D.C., Albany, New York.
Cincinnati, Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is entirely Roman Catholic and black city.
Baltimore, Roman Catholic and black city.
All these cities have been conquered by the Jesuits.
And they control them lock, stock and barrel.
And by controlling all the major cities, New York City, they control all the
commerce of the nation.
Whoever, according to Justin Fulton and his great work, Rome on the Potomac,
Washington on the lap of Rome.
Washington on the lap of Rome was his great work.
He said that whoever rules Washington D.C.
and New York City controls America and the commerce and politics of this country.
The Jesuits rule them both.
That's where they brought all of our gold after they stole it out of Fort Knox using
several presidents over 17 years.
And they put it in their New York Federal Reserve Bank in their gold vault with
600,000 gold bars.
The largest gold hoard in the world that we've been swindled out of as American
people.
That's our gold.
We mined it.
We minted it.
We made those coins.
And then the Jesuits had a store in Fort Knox and then ultimately stole it out of
Fort Knox and put it in their Federal Reserve Bank, their private bank.
We have been completely raped, pillaged and plundered by the Jesuits and
we own nothing.
All of us are broke.
All we have are worthless Federal Reserve notes.
No gold.
No silver coin as mandated by the U.S.
Constitution.
Because the U.S.
Constitution is a dead letter.

I'm Eric
John Phelps and we are back with our study of the Reformation and the Jesuit Order's
Counter-Reformation, which we experience every day here in the United States and as
we hear of the news in the world.
Reading from James J.
Wiley's great masterpiece, The History of Protestantism, Volume 2.
We are now in Chapter 8, Jesuits in Europe.
Quote, The soldiers of Loyola are about to go forth.
Before beginning the campaign, we see their chief assembling them and
pointing out the field on which their proudness is to be displayed.
The nations of Christendom are in revolt, namely the Protestant nations.
It will be theirs to subjugate them and lay them once more bound in chains at the
feet of the papal sea.
They must not faint.
The arms he has provided them with are amply sufficient for the arduous warfare
on which he sends them.
Clad in that armor and wielding it as he has been, at pains to instruct them,
they will expel knowledge as night chases away the day.
Liberty will die wherever their foot treads.
And in the ancient darkness they will be able to rear again the fallen throne of
the great hierarch of Rome, the Pope.
But if the service is hard, the wages will be ample.
As the saviors of that throne, they will be greater than it.
And though meanwhile their work is to be done in great show of humility and
poverty, the silver and the gold of Christendom will in the end be theirs.
The silver and the gold of Christendom, Protestant nations, will in the end be
theirs.
That's the reason why the Jesuits and their SS stole all the gold out of Denmark
during World War II.
Denmark was a white Protestant nation, a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant nation.
And when the Nazis came in there, the SSSD, working on behalf of the papacy,
stole all the gold from the central bank in Denmark.
Just as Wiley said they would.
They will be the lords of the lands and palaces, the masters of the bodies and the
souls of its inhabitants.
And nothing of all that the heart can desire will be withholden from them,
if only they will obey Him, the Jesuit General, or Ignatius Loyola.
And so this is their grand design.
This is the design they are upon today.
And this is the design they will continue to do until there ceases to be a
Protestant Reformation, until there ceases to be Protestant nations, until there
ceases to be a Bible openly circulating among any people.
Until the Pope becomes universal monarch of the world, and they will have acquired
their goal.
Wiley continues...
The Jesuits rapidly multiplied, and we are now to follow them in their
peregrinations over Europe.
Going forth in little bands, animated with an entire devotion to their General,
schooled in all the arts which could help to further their mission, they planted
themselves in a few years in all the countries of Christendom, and made their
presence felt in the turning of the tide of Protestantism, which till then had been
on the flow.
There was no disguise they could not assume, and therefore there was no place
into which they could not penetrate.
They could enter unheard the closet of a monarch, or the cabinet of a statesman.
They could sit unseen in convocation or General Assembly, and mingle unsuspected
in the deliberations and debates.
There was no tongue they could not speak, and no creed they could not profess.
And thus there was no people among whom they might not sojourn, and no church
whose membership they might not enter, and whose functions they might not
discharge.
That means there are Jesuits who are in Protestant and Baptist churches,
acting as pastors and priests.
They could execrate the Pope with the Lutheran, and swear the solemn league with
the Covenanter.
They had their men of learning and eloquence for the halls of nobles and the
courts of kings.
They are men of science and letters for the education of youth.
They are men like Francis Bacon.
They are unpolished but ready orders to harangue the crowd.
And they are plain unlettered monks to visit the cottages of the peasantry and
the workshops of the artesian.
I know these men, said Joseph II of Austria, writing to Chocel, the prime
minister of Louis XV, that prime minister having expelled the Jesuits from France.
I know these men as well as anyone can do, all the schemes they have carried on,
and the pains they have taken to spread darkness over the earth, as well as their
efforts to rule and embroil Europe from Cape Finisterre to Spitsbergen.
In China they were Mandarins, in France Academians, Courtiers and Confessors,
in Spain and Portugal Grandees, and in Paraguay Kings.
Remember they ruled the Paraguayan Reductions, which totaled in excess of
200,000 native Guaranian Indians that were working on these reductions, these
kibbutzes, these communes, making hides and talos, and making violins,
and putting all these things into international commerce and trade for the
Jesuit black ships, so they could make billions and continue their wars against
Protestant nations and the racial Jews.
Had not my grand-uncle Joseph I became Emperor, we had in all probability seen in
Germany too a Malagrida or an Alvernos.
In order that they might be at liberty to visit what city and diocese they pleased,
they were exempted from Episcopal jurisdiction.
That means that no Jesuit is subject to any priest, to any bishop, to any
archbishop, or to any cardinal.
The Jesuit order is a jurisdiction within a jurisdiction.
They are the police.
They are the overseers.
They are the SS of the Vatican.
As the SS oversaw the Nazi party, the Jesuit order oversees the Roman
hierarchy.
And any honest priest will tell you, when a Jesuit enters his church,
he gets in a cold sweat.
I was told this by a prominent Roman Catholic in Reno.
After which, the next question he asked me is, Why are you still alive?
So the Jesuits, again, are above the law and they are above the Roman hierarchy.
They are only subject to their immediate superior, and if necessary, the general
himself.
This arrangement was resisted at first by certain prelates, but it was universally
conceded at last, and it greatly facilitated the wide and rapid diffusion
of the Jesuit core.
Extraordinary success attended their first efforts throughout all Italy.
Designed for the common people, the order found equal acceptance from
princes and nobles.
So yes, they were financed by these princes and nobles.
They were given wonderful castles and lands.
In London, they were given Stoneyhurst by Thomas Weld.
They were given and given and given and given by wealthy Roman Catholic lords and
dames.
And it is by this way that they became financially so powerful and politically
dominating.
Today, we look at America.
Who are the rich men in this country?
It's not the Jews.
It's the Irish Roman Catholics.
Men like William F.
Buckley, a multi-billionaire, CFR member, Knight of Malta, Irish Roman Catholic,
host of Firing Line, the man who started the magazine that is today considered to
be a right-wing magazine that Ann Coulter and all the Fox people just love,
the National Review.
So, it's these kinds of men that prop up the Pope.
Franz von Pappen, another multi-millionaire, Knight of Malta,
Germany, personal friends of Pius XII.
Who does he bring to power?
Who is the one that is brought to power in 1933 by Franz von Pappen?
Adolf Hitler!
Because Hitler was the Pope's boy to carry out the Council of Trent, which I just
read.
Wiley continues, and I would like to go now to the Inquisition that the Jesuits
ran.
Because wherever there are Jesuits, there will always be an Inquisition.
Wherever there are Jesuits, there will always be an Inquisition.
In Nazi Germany, the Jesuits ran the SS and SD, and it was the SS who ran the
concentration camps.
In Stalin's Russia, USSR, the Jesuits ran the NKVD, and therefore there was the
Gulag system all throughout Russia.
Especially in Siberia, an old Jesuit stronghold.
In America, it is coming to our country, and the Jesuits are controlling the
Department of Homeland Security.
The Department of Homeland Security will be America's SS, America's KGB,
or NKVD.
Because you see, it was the Jesuit John C.
Gannon, who was a former CIA officer, given the highest award that could be
given for civilian performance by George Bush.
He was the one who really founded and is the backbone of the Department of Homeland
Security.
And this John C.
Gannon is, yes, a Knight of Malta, CFR member, a former member of the Jesuit
Volunteer Corps, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, and an Irish Roman
Catholic.
These are the men of power in America.
We continue.
We leave the torture chamber in Bavaria to visit the Inquisition chamber.
We go eastward about half a mile, keeping close to the northern wall of the
city, till we come to an old tower styled in the common parlance of Nuremberg,
the Max Tower.
Interesting that it was Nuremberg in which the anti-Jew laws were passed by the
Nazis.
Because Nuremberg was southern Germany, Roman Catholic, and a place of Inquisition
for centuries.
We pull the bell and the iron handle and chain, of which are seen suspended beside
the door post.
The Kikoron appears, carrying a bunch of keys, a lantern, and some half dozen
candles.
The lantern is to show us our way, and the candles are for the purpose of
being lighted and struck up at the turnings in the dark underground passages
which we are about to traverse.
Should mischance befall our lantern, these tapers, the beacon lights in the
narrow creek, will pilot us safely back into the day.
So they are going into a pitch dark tavern here.
The Kikoron, selecting the largest room from the bunch of keys, inserts it in the
lock of the nasty portal before which we stand.
Bolt after bolt is turned, and the door, which horse-heavy groaned as it turns on
its hinge, opens slowly to us.
We begin to descend.
We go down one flight of steps.
We go down a second.
We descend yet a third.
And now we pause a moment.
The darkness is intense, for here never came the faintest glimmer of day.
But a gleam thrown forward from the lantern showed us that we were arrived at
the entrance of a horizontal, narrow passage.
We could see by the flickering of the light upon its sides and roof that the
corridor we were traversing was hewn out of rock.
We had gone only a few paces when we were brought up before a massy door.
As far as the dim light served us, we could see the door, old, powdery with
dust, and partly wormy.
Passing in, the corridor continued, and we went forward another three paces or
so when we found ourselves before a second door.
We opened and shut it behind us as we did the first.
Again we began to thread our way.
A third door stopped us.
We opened and closed it in like manner.
Every step was carrying us deeper into the heart of the rock and multiplying the
barriers between us and the upper world.
We were shut in with the thick darkness and the awful silence.
We began to realize what must have been the feelings of some unhappy disciple of
the gospel, surprised by the familiars of the holy office of the Inquisition,
led through the midnight streets of Nuremberg, conducted to Max Tower,
led down flight after flight of stairs and along this horizontal shaft in the rock,
and at every few paces a massy door with its locks and bolts closing behind him.
He must have felt how utterly he was beyond the reach of human pity and human
aid.
No cry, however piercing, could reach the ear of man through those roofs of rock.
He was entirely in the power of those who had brought him thither.
At last we come to his side door in the narrow passage.
We halted, applied the key, and the door, with its ancient mold, creaking harshly as
if moving on a hinge long disused, opened to let us in.
We found ourselves in a rather roomy chamber.
It might be about twelve feet square.
This was the chamber of question.
Along one side of the apartment ran a low platform.
There sat, of old, the Inquisitors, three in number, the first a divine,
the second a casuist, and the third a civilian.
The only occupant of that platform was the crucifix.
Yes, the pagan crucifix, or image of the Savior on the cross, which still remained.
The six candles, that usually burned before the Holy Fathers, were of course
extinguished, but our lanterns supplied their place and showed us the grim
furnishings of the apartment.
In the middle was the horizontal rack, or bed of torture, on which the victim was
stretched till bone started from bone, and his dislocated frame became the seat
of agony, which was suspended only when it had reached a pitch that threatened death.
Leaning against the wall of the chamber was the upright rack, with it simpler,
but as an instrument of torture not less effectual than the horizontal one.
There was the iron chain which wound over a pulley and hauled up the victim to the
vaulted roof, and there were the two great stone weights which tied to his feet,
and the iron cord let go brought him down with a jerk and dislocated his limbs,
while the spiky rollers, which he grazed in his descent, cut into and excoriated
his back, leaving his body a bloody, dislocated mass.
Here, too, was the cradle of which we have made mention above, amply garnished within
with cruel knobs, on which the sufferer, tied hand and foot, was thrown at every
movement by the machine, to be bruised all over and brought forth discolored,
swollen, bleeding, but still living.
It's like being thrown in a dryer, and being put in that dryer for half an
hour, and by the time you come out, if you're still alive, you're all bruised
and broken and swollen.
That's what they did in what was called the cradle.
All around, ready to hand, were hung the minor instruments of torture.
There were screws and thumbkins for the fingers, and thumbscrews.
The Nazis used thumbscrews, and so did the KGB, and so did the CIA.
Spiked collars for the neck, iron boots for the legs, gags for the mouth,
clothes to cover the face, and permit the slow percolation of water, drop by drop,
down the throat of the person undergoing this form of torture.
There were rollers set round the spikes for bruising the arms and back.
There were iron scourges, pincers, and tongs for tearing out the tongue,
tearing out the tongue, splitting the nose and ears.
This was done to Pim during the English Reformation.
And otherwise, disfiguring and mangling the body until it was horrible and
horrifying to look upon it.
There were other things of which an expert could tell the name and the use.
Had these instruments a tongue, and could the history of this chamber be
written, how awful the tale!
We shall suppose that all this has been gone through, that the confessor has been
stretched on the bed of torture, has been nagged, broken, mangled,
and yet, by power given him from above, has not denied his Savior.
He has been, quote, tortured, not accepting deliverance, unquote.
What further punishment has the Holy Office and Reserve for those from whom its
torment have failed to extort a recantation?
These dreadful dungeons furnish us with the means of answering this question.
We return to the narrow passage and go forward a little way.
Every few paces there comes a door.
Originally strong and massy, and garnished with great iron knobs, but now old and
moldy and creaking when opened with a noise painfully loud in the deep
stillness.
The windings are numerous, but at every turning of the passage a lighted candle is
placed.
Less peradventure, the way should be missed, and the road back to the living
would be lost forever.
A few steps are taken downwards very cautiously, for a lantern cannot barely
show the ground.
Here there is a vaulted chamber, entirely dug out of the living rock,
except the roof, which is formed of hewn stone.
It contains an iron image of the Virgin.
This is called the Iron Maiden.
Remember an album I had when I was growing up, when I was in the rock culture.
The album was put out by the Iron Butterfly, and that album was called the
Iron Maiden.
We continue... and on the opposite wall, suspended by an iron hook, is a lamp,
which when lighted shows the goodly proportions of Our Lady.
On the instance of touching a spring, the image flings open its arms,
which resemble the doors of a cupboard, and which are seen to be stuck full on the
inside with knives, pointers, each about a foot in length.
Some of these knives are so placed as to enter the eyes of those whom the image
enfolded in its embrace.
Others are set so as to penetrate the ears and brain.
Others to pierce the breast, and others again to gore the abdomen, yes,
and the growing.
The person who had passed through the terrible ordeal of the Question Chamber,
but had made no recantation, would be led along the torturous passage by which we
had come, and ushered into this vault, where the first object that would greet
his eye, the pale light of the lamp falling on it, would be the Iron Virgin,
also called the Iron Maiden.
He would be hidden.
He would be bidden to stand right in front of the image.
The spring would be touched by the executioner.
The Virgin would fling open her arms, and the wretched victim would straightaway
be forced within them.
Another spring was then touched.
The Virgin closed upon her victim.
A strong wooden beam, fastened at one end to the wall by a movable joint,
the other placed against the doors of the iron image, was worked by a screw,
and as the beam was pushed out, the spiky arms of the Virgin slowly but
irresistibly closed upon the man, and did their work.
When the dreadful business was ended, it needed not that the executioner should
put himself to the trouble of making the Virgin unclasp the mangled carcass of her
victim.
Provision had been made for its quick and secret disposal.
At the touching of a third spring, the floor of the image would slide aside,
and the body of the victim dropped down the mouth of a perpendicular shaft in the
rock.
Down this pit, at great depth, would be discerned the shimmer of water.
A canal had been made to flow underneath the vault where stood the iron Virgin,
and when she had done her work upon those who were delivered over to her tender
mercies, she let them fall with quick descent and sullen plunge into the canal
underneath, where they were floated to the pigrets, and from the pigrets to the rind,
and by the rind to the ocean, there to sleep beside the dust of Hus and Jerome.
This, dear friends, is the holy office of the Inquisition.
This is what the Jesuits instituted in Nuremberg, Germany, and all throughout
Europe.
And this is what they always will have wherever they are in control of a
government.
And that is why we will have an Inquisition here in America, because it is
here that they are in complete and total control of the American government through
the Council on Foreign Relations.
Such is the history of Protestantism by Wiley.
Now we shall go to a book that I include in the 13 old books with my CD,
and this book is called The Crisis, The Enemies of America Unmasked.
And we shall see now that it was written in 1855 by Wayne Lawrence, a great
patriot, who exposed the power of the Jesuits, and which this book is completely
impossible to find.
In chapter 1 we read Jesuit influence.
An American gentleman was passenger on board a merchant ship bound from London to
Rio de Janeiro.
There were among the passengers Englishmen, Germans, Frenchmen,
Spaniards, and Portuguese, but the person we referred to was the only American.
Between himself and the English gentleman there were frequent discussions about
politics, to which such of the other passengers as could speak English would
listen, sometimes taken apart.
Of course our American was a great friend of the institutions of his own country,
and defended Republican forms of government, freedom of speech and of the
press, the vote by ballot, and all the other elements of popular sovereignty
through thick and thin.
Assailed on every side he found his office of champion of freedom, no signature.
Every calm morning and every pleasant evening witnessed a new controversy on the
deck or in the cabin, but he manfully held his ground against a host of adversaries,
and being fluent in speech, strong in argument, skilled in logic, and full of
lively and sarcastic humor, he generally came out of the debate with honor,
taking care always to terminate the action at precisely the right moment.
Among the persons who listened with the greatest attention to these debates was a
lean, bilious-looking old Frenchman, who always took care to be present,
and who showed by his look and manner that he was deeply interested in politics,
although he never by any chance uttered an opinion or made a remark on political
subjects in the general circle of the passengers.
In point of fact, this man was a Roman Catholic priest, a Jesuit of high standing
who was going to some station in South America in obedience to an order from his
superior.
He was a cosmopolitan, indeed, a world citizen.
Though not much past the middle point of life, he was rather aged in appearance,
in consequence of the great variety and extent of the missions which he had
performed in all quarters of the world and in every kind of climate.
From Canada to Calcutta, from the breezy heights of the Andes to the unwholesome
marshes of Java, by sea and by land, in season and out of season, this man had
journeyed on the secret errands of his order.
Speaking fluently a dozen different languages and possessing the most perfect
power of dissimulation, as well as the most thorough devotedness to the church
and those carefully trained habits of obedience which are so essential to the
character of an able and faithful Jesuit, he had at length become one of the most
accomplished men of his age.
As he listened to the conversation of the American passenger, he could not help
noticing that he was gradually making converts to Republican views.
Many of these passengers, he observed, sought private interviews with the
American, and by careful eavesdropping he ascertained that their object was to ask
questions about his country and gain information respecting the actual working
of the American attempt at self-government.
When the passage was nearly over, the Frenchman, happening to be alone with
the American in a retired part of the deck where their conversation could not be
overheard, commenced a quiet chat with him.
Addressing him in English, which he spoke with ease and precision, he thanked him
with apparent cordiality for the entertainment he had derived from his
conversation, or rather eloquent haranguing to the other passengers during
the voyage.
He professed to have enjoyed their debates very greatly, and gave the American due
credit for his wit, his logic, his humor, his address, and his unbounded
good nature.
The American was much pleased at his compliments, for he had conceived a great
respect for this silent and attentive auditor, and in fact had in his own secret
mind set him down as a hopeful convert to Americanism.
He thanked him, therefore with much feeling, for his good opinion,
at the same time disclaiming any merit for success in defending a truth so
self-evident as that which is expressed in these few words, that a nation ought to
govern itself, and that by the popular vote of its own citizens.
This, said the Jesuit with a quiet smile, you suppose to be the system of your own
country?
By the way, this is 1855.
I do not suppose it, said the American, I know it.
Now, said the Jesuit, listen to me a few moments, and I will tell you what I know.
Your president is elected by the conclave of cardinals at Rome, the same who elect
the Pope.
Your people nominate the candidates.
Our confidential agents select from the number the one whom they believe to be the
most favorable to the interests of the Church.
His name with those of the other candidates is reported to the cardinals
and the Pope.
When their decision is announced to the confidential friends of the Pope and the
cardinals in the United States, they send forth their orders through the
priests, and the whole Roman Catholic vote is thrown for the candidate who is favored
by the Church.
This is how Henry Clay lost his election.
He, of course, is always elected.
Your parties are so equally divided on politics that this Roman Catholic vote,
which is cast on purely religious considerations, is always sufficient to
turn the scale." The American looked rather blank at this announcement.
He was quite taken back, especially was he staggered by the fact
that he was the only candidate.
Fight the fight.
We are here to equip you.
Let our motto be, don't tread on me.

Welcome back.
Brother Eric John Phelps, our lesson with regard to the Jesuit Order, its purpose,
its quest, and now we are going to finish up what we were reading concerning the
American and the Jesuit.
The American looked rather blank at this announcement.
He was quite taken back that the Pope and the College of Cardinals chose the
American presidents as early as 1855.
Especially was he staggered by the recollection that the candidate for the
presidency, who was sustained by the Irish and German votes, was generally
successful.
He courteously thanked the Jesuits for the valuable information which he had
communicated.
And during the short remainder of the voyage, he abstained from talking politics
and gave himself up to reflection.
Let us also reflect a little on the Jesuit story.
Perhaps it was a hoax or a mere idle brag intended to annoy and mortify the
American.
But is it not the main point of his declaration true?
Is it not true that in many various central points this country is governed by
foreign influence?
Is it not even highly probable that Roman Catholic prelates have a voice in the
selection of candidates for very high as well as low offices, even for that of the
president himself?
Was not Mr. Polk, a man of no mark as a statesman and comparatively unknown to the
country, elected in opposition to Henry Clay, immeasurably the most able and
popular man in the United States?
And was not this accomplished by the Roman Catholics voting against him en masse
because he was suspected, and only suspected, of favoring the Native American
movement?
By the way, the Native American movement is what we all should be.
America should be for the Americans.
And that if immigrants come here, they adopt American ways, they speak
English, they learn the Bible in public schools, and they become nationalists.
The movers of this foreign political machinery in this country are the members
of two secret societies.
One is composed of the regular Roman Catholic priests, always and everywhere a
secret society.
The other is the Society of Jesus, as it is profanely called, in other words,
the Society of Jesuits.
All history, past and present, gives assurance that these precious
gentlemen are not too surreptitiously pious to take a hand in the game of
politics.
So we give the character of the Order of Jesuits in the words of one of the ablest
and best informed historians of the present day.
Protestantism, which had, during the whole generation, carried all before it,
was stopped in its progress and rapidly beaten back from the foot of the Alps to
the shores of the Baltic.
Before the Order had existed a hundred years, it had filled the whole world with
memorials of great things done and suffered for the faith.
We also have to remember the Thirty Years' War that they started.
No religious community could produce a list of men so variously distinguished.
None had extended its operations over so vast a space, yet in none had there ever
been such perfect unity of feeling and action.
There was no region of the globe, no walk of speculative or active life in
which Jesuits were not to be found.
They guided the councils of kings.
They deciphered Latin inscriptions.
They observed the motions of Jupiter's satellites.
They published whole libraries, controversy, casuatry, history,
treaties and optics, Alkik Odes, Editions of the Fathers, Catechisms and
Lampoons.
The liberal education of youth was passed almost entirely into their hands,
as it is in America today, and was conducted by them with great ability.
They seem to have discovered the precise point in which intellectual culture can be
carried without risk of intellectual emancipation.
Amnesty itself was compelled to own that.
In the art of managing and forming the tender mind, they had no equals.
The Jesuits have a saying, as the twig is bent, so grows the tree.
They also say, give me your son as a youth, and by the age of seven,
he will be Roman Catholic devoted to us for the rest of his life.
With still greater assuity, and still greater certainty, they committed
themselves to the ministry of the confessional.
Throughout Catholic Europe, the secrets of every government and almost every family
of note were in their keeping.
They glided from one Protestant country to another, under innuable disguises,
as gay cavaliers, as simple rustics, as Puritan preachers.
They wandered to countries which neither mercantile avidity nor liberal curiosity
had ever impelled any stranger to explore.
They were to be found in the garb of mandarins, superintending the observatory
in Peking.
They were to be found spade in hand, teaching the rudiments of agriculture to
the savages of Paraguay.
Yet whatever might be their residence, whatever might be their employment,
their spirit was the same, entire devotion to the common cause, implicit obedience to
the central authority.
None of them had chosen his dwelling place or his abdication for himself.
Whether the Jesuit should live under the Arctic Circle or the equator, whether he
should pass his life in arranging gems and correlating manuscripts in the Vatican,
or in persuading naked barbarians in the southern hemisphere not to eat each other,
were matters which he left with profound submission to the decision of others.
If he was wanted at Lima, he was on the Atlantic in the next fleet.
If he was wanted at Baghdad, he was toiling through the desert with the next
caravan.
If his ministry was needed in some country where his life was more insecure than that
of a wolf, where it was a crime to harbor him, where the heads and quarters of his
brethren fixed on the public places showed him what he had to expect, he went without
remonstrance or hesitation to his doom.
But with this admirable energy, disinterestedness and self-devotion,
which were characteristics of great vices were mingled.
It was alleged, and not without foundation, that the ardent public spirit,
which made the Jesuit, regardless of his ease, of his liberty and of his life,
made him also, regardless of truth and of mercy, that no means which could promote
the interest of his religion seemed to him unlawful, and that by the interest of his
religion he too often meant the interest of his society.
This is the Jesuit, and we have Jesuit co-adjutors.
Men like G.
Gordon Liddy.
We continue on, and we now want to evaluate, in these last few minutes,
the Jesuit position on the Jew.
The Jesuit position on the Jew.
We read from E.
Boyd Barrett, a former Jesuit, in a book that he wrote after he left the
order Rome stoops to conquer.
Page 179, quote, The Jesuits, as is well known, exercise immense influence in the
government of the Church and the formation of its policies and doctrines.
They stand ever at the Pope's right hand, his intellectual and spiritual bodyguard,
and they compose the Pope's bodyguard of lies for his protection.
The mighty defenders of the faith, they are as a body, changeless,
as the Church herself.
Only in a slightly lesser degree than the Church do they lay claim to divine
protection, divine inspiration, and fallibility.
Owing to an earlier experience of a painful kind which was all but disastrous
to the order, and which was due to a group of Spanish Jesuits of Jewish descent,
who threatened to dismember the order, the Jesuits as a body have conceived and
fostered an intense animosity against the Jews.
Never since the days of the Great Storm, which was in the 1590s, as Cardinal
Tulloch's revolt was called, has anyone of Jewish blood or descent been admitted into
the order.
Remember, this was written prior to 1946.
Never since that day has the order ceased to pursue vindictively the Jews.
The spirit of the order can be gleaned from the extraordinary prayer of the
greatest of Jesuit saints, Francis Xavier, quote, Put me some place where there are
no Jews or Muslims, cried Francis.
Put me some place where there are no Jews or Muslims, cried Francis.
Throws great light on the present crusade today.
The present writer who spent twenty years in the Jesuit order can recall no single
occasion on which a word of praise for Jewish achievement or a word of sympathy
for Jewish suffering was uttered by a Jesuit.
The Jesuits in the days when they controlled every Catholic court in Europe
and when as an order they were swollen with pride, were challenged by a like
pride and a like intellectual intolerance by the Jew.
They could not break or bend the Jew.
They could convert or seemingly convert every type of human from Japanese to
Prophetic Parisian, but they could make no headway in leading Israel into the fold of
Mother Church.
They ceased to look upon the Jew as a lost sheep and identified him with an incarnate
devil, the sworn enemy of the Catholic.
They hated the Jews because the Jews did not bow in homage before them.
In substantiating these statements, I will confine myself to two recent
writings of two prominent Jesuits, Fr.
Francis Xavier Murphy and Fr.
Lawrence K.
Patterson.
Both writings were censored and passed by Jesuit superiors.
And being such bear the watermark of the authority of the order.
What do these men say?
Here then is the Jesuit teaching about the Jew.
The words that I write between quotation marks are from Fr.
Murphy's article.
The Jew is ubiquitous.
Like Chaucer's friar, he instruments himself everywhere.
He is a troublemaker.
Where he is, there is trouble.
Fr.
Murphy's heart feels sometimes pity for the Jew, even when his intellect tells him
that the Jew is getting what it was coming to him.
Quote, my feeling is not always against the Jew.
No man can read his past history without feeling deeply for him, even where his
reason may tell him that the Jew is simply bearing the human or divine retribution of
his acts.
Unquote.
He goes on, Fr.
Murphy finds proof in the Bible that the Jews were fierce, truculent, coarse,
sensual, crafty, cruel, and rises from the perusal of the sacred text with an
unfavorable notion of the Jews.
Unquote.
He adds, what the Jew was in Holy Writ, we may justly expect to find him down the
ages.
Quote, unquote.
Namely, quote, fierce and sensual beyond the Aryan.
So here are the Jesuits talking about Aryan supremacy before the rise of the
Nazi party.
Boyd concludes, and I'll skip a few pages, when he says this.
If we now turn to glance at authentic records of Jesuit history, we find that
there is hardly an accusation that the Jesuits make against the Jews,
but is strangely out of place in their mouths.
The Jesuits accused the Jews of being meddlers and troublemakers.
The Jesuits were suppressed by Proclamant XIV because they had meddled in every
conceivable business from trade to politics, and their suppression was
necessary, quote, to restore tranquility to the church, unquote.
Boyd Barrett concludes and says, it comes badly from the Jesuits to attempt
to promulgate anti-Semitism on the basis of charges that have been not only
officially made, but believed and acted upon by the supreme and infallible pontiff
of the Roman Catholic Church when made against themselves.
People in glass houses are foolish to throw stones.
What the Jesuits accused the Jews of being, that is what the Jesuits are.
The Jesuits hate the Jews, they have always hated the Jews, and they will
forever hate the Jews.
And the Jesuits in this country control the NSA.
Let's see what John Loftus has to say about the NSA in The Secret War Against
the Jews, written by Loftus and Ahrens.
On page 193 we read, Shortly after the Clinton administration took office,
the intelligent community withdrew its previous objections to publication.
In fact, many of the pieces of the jigsaw already had passed into the public domain.
In 1982, James Bamford published his seminal history of the NSA, The Puzzle
Palace, which disclosed some of the main points of the NSA GCHO liaison.
The National Archives have been given dozens of declassified FBI documents,
citing British intelligence as a source of its information on Jews in the United
States.
And finally, in 1991, a pair of British authors confirmed a portion of the
espionage on American Jews.
Adam Gold calls one former intelligence official who was cleared to see the Gold
reports.
We knew who was shipping the arms, who was paying for them, who was being
paid in this country, every illegal thing that was going on in this country.
Because of politics, very little was ever done with this intelligence.
But so far as I know, the National Security Agency still has a group like
that buried somewhere deep.
It does indeed.
Its nickname is the Jew Room.
Inside the National Security Agency is an intelligence center from which all
American Jews are banned, regardless of their proven loyalty or devotion to
country, just as the U.S.
Navy banned Jews from electronic surveillance ships such as the USS
Liberty.
The Jew Room is where the United States and Britain spy on Israel and on anyone
who supports Israel.
Its name is a misnomer, as the intelligence center has more than one room
and more than one agency.
As we shall see in the following chapters, it is and has been the heart of the secret
war against the Jews.
What Loftus knows, being the Jesuit-Temple coadjutor that he is, an Irish Roman
Catholic, trained by Jesuits at Fordham University, I believe, and he was in the
Justice Department for many years, Loftus rightly paints a picture of a world
of intelligence against the Lord's beloved Hebrew-Jewish-Israelitish people.
And one of the things he points out in his great epic work, The Secret War Against
the Jews, How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People by John Loftus and Mark
Ahrens, he points out this NSA room called the Jew Room.
The Jew Room.
Does not this have Jesuit pretensions?
Does not this show a Jesuit hand ruling the NSA?
Do not the Jesuits hate the Jews and have hated them throughout the duration of
their order?
Did not the Jesuits control not only Hitler, who killed many millions of Jews,
but also Stalin, who aided Hitler in the murder?
You see, Hitler and Stalin worked together.
Both were tutored by Jesuits.
Both were in office by the power of the Jesuit order, and both carried out the
annihilation of the Pale of Settlement, that had been begun by Czar Nicholas I,
who entered into a concordat with the Pope.
This was all planned.
Hitler and Stalin working together, not only for the destruction of the racial
Jews in the Pale of Settlement, but for the Gentile Protestant Prussians
of Prussia, and for the Orthodox peoples of Russia.
Both these dictators working together for the annihilation of these heretics and
liberals, according to the Council of Trent.
And after the war, this entire fascist network was saved by the power of the
Vatican rat lines, as Loftus writes in his book on the Unholy Trinity.
And they are saved to continue this fascist plot of the Vatican, with the
billions in gold that they had stolen from the Far Eastern nations, and from the
European peoples, so that today we have an internationalist fascist intelligence
community, controlled at the top by the Jesuits through their Knights of Malta.
And it is this intelligence community, which includes the NSA, high level CIA
officers, high level FBI officers, that are all in secret war against the
Jews of North America, all six million of them, the greatest haven in the world of
the world's Jews, and therefore we know that they are targeted for extermination,
because it is the Jesuit order who rules the NSA, in which is the Jew room.
Dear listener, do you see how as we travel through the stream of history,
that we can arrive at right conclusions in 2007?
Do you see if you know the past of the Jesuit order, its doctrine, its creation,
its losses and its gains, its whole existence to counter the reformation,
and to destroy the reformed nations, in which the Jews were always welcome,
and were given sanctuary?
Can you see how the Jesuits are after the destruction of these nations, so that they
can revert the world back to the primacy of the Pope, as it was in the dark ages?
Are you beginning to see that the whole New World Order movement is nothing but a
move by the Vatican to restore the old order?
European feudalism, which is in fact today nothing more than corporate fascism,
cartel corporate fascism, which financed both Hitlerism and Stalinism?
Do you see how this New Age movement, led and fathered by the Jesuit Pierre
Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit, do you see how it is nothing more than an
attempt to overthrow the Bible, which peoples read, and to get them on the
shaky ground of subjective belief, so that they can be easily moved into
serving the papacy?
That's the purpose for the New World Order and the purpose for the New Age movement.
The Jesuits are master sorcerers at the top.
None are their equal.
They are masters in the art of war.
They are in fact the one who mastered the tenets of Sue Sing's The Art of War.
The Jesuit order is most of all the enemy of God.
God hates the Jesuit order.
God hates its doctrines.
God hates its deeds.
The risen Son of God eagerly looks forward to breaking its power at its second
coming.
Because the Bible says that He shall laugh and have these nations in derision.
Because they have all consolidated themselves together.
They have all organized themselves and conspired together against the Lord and
against His Christ.
Saying, let us break His bands of sunder.
Let us cast their cords from us.
We are not going to be limited by God's word or His commandments.
We hate His word.
We want the glory that the Son of God rightfully deserves and has earned and has
been given by His Father.
And the Pope of our making, He is the Vicar of Christ.
He is the one that the people shall worship, especially after His mortal wound
and He is brought back to life.
We the Jesuits will be His bodyguard.
We are His obsidian order.
We are His praetorian guard.
We are the ones that will ensure His universal power.
This is the mind of the Jesuit.
And the Jesuit couldn't care less about you, children, helpless women,
the sinking of the Titanic when they pulled that off.
If you see the movie Titanic, you see this French woman saying to the captain,
Monsieur, monsieur, and she's holding a little baby.
Do you think Captain Smith, that Jesuit, had any feeling for these poor women and
their children about to drown in freezing water in the North Atlantic?
This is the mind of the Jesuit.
And we have to begin to think like a Jesuit if we are to resist Him.
We have to know His moves.
We have to know what makes Him go.
We have to understand His abject and complete and total obedience to His
superiors.
We have to understand He's a part of a military order.
He's under orders.
He has no option but to obey or die.
All for the greater glory of God.
So this is the Jesuit order.
This is the Reformation versus the Counter-Reformation.
This is the secret war against the Jews.
This is the secret war against Bible-believing Protestants.
This is the secret war against the Orthodox peoples of Russia.
This is the secret war against the Muslims who would dare hold Jerusalem against the
wishes of the Pope.
This is the secret war against the Buddhists of the Far East who refused to
bow to the Pope because, you see, their Dalai Lama was God to them.
And therefore the Jesuits had to overthrow the Dalai Lama and make him subordinate to
the black Pope.
All of this are what the Jesuits have done and what they will continue to do.
This is why the Jesuits overthrew Hirohito.
They had to overthrow the God of Japan.
There can only be one God that manifests in the flesh, and that is the Pope,
whom the Jesuits bring to power, keep in power, and keep in line,
lest they have to kill him like they killed Pope John Paul I.
The Jesuits are the heartbeat of the papacy.
Whatever the assistance of the General decides, that will be policy for Rome.
Whatever the Jesuits decide economically, that will be the policy for the gold pool
in London.
Whatever the Jesuits in Rome decide, that will be the policy for the Archbishop
of New York controlling the Council on Foreign Relations.
Whatever the Jesuits decide in Rome, that will be the policy for the Archbishop
of Westminster controlling London.
And he is controlled by the Jesuit provincialists, Stoneyhurst.
It is all the same, no matter what country you are in.
It is the same Jesuit-Roman provincial government overseeing the Roman hierarchy,
the Vatican Empire, which in turn oversees the government of that particular country.
That is how it works.
And this is why the Jesuits are traitors.
This is why they need to be punished for their high crimes of treason, of high
treason.
And their assassinations, and their overthrow of legitimately created nations
like America, like Russia, like Britain, like Ethiopia, like Brazil, like South
Africa, and like the North America that they are plotting right now to overthrow.
So, dear student, I trust that this is a bit of a taste for you.
That you will begin to see the power of the Order.
That you will begin to get a feel for what they do, how they move.
So that you will be able to understand every facet that they control.
From the black Muslims with Louis Farrakhan, to the Ku Klux Klan,
from the Mormon Church to the Jehovah Witnesses, from the Southern Baptists to
the Lutherans.
The Jesuits control them all through high-level Freemasonry.
As you see the Patriot Movement, that is a tremendous web that is weaved by
the Jesuits.
Oh, what a wondrous web we weave when we practice to deceive.
This is my prayer tonight, as you begin to get a feel for this, dear student.
That your eyes will be opened and you will see a thousand things more than what I
ever dreamed of.
To continue to understand who rules and when to rule.
The Lord Jesus Christ, who returns in power and glory.
May the Lord bless you.
Through the years of providing water filters to America, you've come to us and
we've listened.
You asked us to make the water level visible to eliminate the guesswork when
refilling the water.
We listened.
You asked for an elevated base so the system could be used in places...
