On his feast day, Ignatius of Loyola writings and history from a Catholic perspective.

 From the Desk of Paul Stramer



As I have said many times, this website is here for the express purpose of finding solutions for the big mess we are in here in America, and articles are published from several authors that also have freedom in America as their focus. The authors that I publish here have their own opinions, and you and I can choose to agree or disagree, and what we write in the comments is regarded by the administration of this blog (me) as their own opinion. I do invite everyone to comment as they see fit, but follow a few simple rules.
As I have said in the introduction at the top of the blog "You will find some conflicting views from some of these authors. You will also find that all the authors are deeply concerned about the future of America. What they write is their own opinion, just as what I write is my own. If you have an opinion on a particular article, please comment by clicking the title of the article and scrolling to the box at the bottom on that page. Please keep the discussion about the issues, and keep it civil. The administrator reserves the right to remove unwarranted personal attacks. Use the golden rule; "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." 

I have from time to time removed some comments from the comments section, that were vicious personal attacks against an author, rather than an intelligent discussion of the issues,  but very rarely. Foul language, and invective accomplish nothing but the creation of anger, and have no place here. We are here to arrive at the truth about what has been done to our country, and true history, not as we see it, but as our Creator sees it.
It is sometimes said that in America we have the "right to our opinion". I would say rather that we have the responsibility to see to it that our opinion is right, the way God sees it.  With that I shall begin with my opinion and some history about Saint Ignatius of Loyola.



I am compelled by my lifelong Catholic Faith and background to set the record straight about what Ignatius of Loyola taught.  I shall use his own words, and the 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia to do so.

I note that many if not most of the people who criticize the "Jesuits" refuse to read anything he actually wrote, and won't read anything the Catholic Church has said about the order or the man going back almost 500 years.

The words that follow are my opinion, but not just my opinion. They are irrefutable history going back centuries. My sources are well documented and links will follow each section.

I will start by saying that while people who oppose the Catholic Faith will tolerate most of the orders in the Church like the Franciscans, and others, they mostly have an undying hatred of the Society of Jesus founded by St.Ignatius of Loyola.

I will also say that we are talking here about a Church that is over 2000 years old, and an order that was not approved until September 27th, 1540, by the Papal Bull of Pope Paul III titled "Regimini militantis ecclesia".  For a history of the Society of Jesus from the Catholic encyclopedia go here:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14081a.htm  Remember that when you see a link that has cathen in it, it's from the 1917 edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia.

Ignatius of Loyola was born in 1491 at the castle of Loyola above Azpeitia in Guipuscoa; died at Rome, 31 July, 1556. I will not dwell on the early part of his life except to say that he became a soldier and was grievously wounded in the battle of Pampeluna in 1521 and was completely changed by what followed.
For a complete story of his life from the Catholic Encyclopedia :
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07639c.htm

The Jesuit Legend    This is from the Catholic Encyclopedia

"It is curious that at the present day, even literary men have next to no interest in the objective facts concerning the Society, not even in those supposed to be to its disadvantage. All attention is fixed to the Jesuit legend; encyclopedia articles and general histories hardly concern themselves with anything else. The legend, though it reached its present form in the middle of the nineteenth century, began at a much earlier period. The early persecutions of the Society (which counted some 100 martyrs in Europe during its first century) were backed up by fiery, loud, unscrupulous writers such as Hassenmueller and Hospinian, who diligently collected and defended all the charges against the Jesuits. The rude, criminous ideas which these writers set forth received subtler traits of deceitfulness and double-dealing through Zahorowski's "Monita Secreta Societatis Jesu" (Cracow, 1614), a satire misrepresenting the rule of the order, which is freely believed to be genuine by credulous adversaries (see Monita Secreta). The current version of the legend is late French, evolved during the long revolutionary ferment which preceded the Third Empire. It began with the denunciations of Montlosier (1824-27), and grew strong (1833-45) in the University of Paris, which affected to consider itself as the representative of the Gallican Sorbonne, of Port-Royal, and of the Encyclopédie. The occasion for literary hostilities was offered by attempts at University reform which, so Liberals affected to believe, were instigated by Jesuits. Hereupon the "Provinciales" were given a place in the University curriculum, and Villemain, Theirs, Cousin. Michelet, Quinlet, Libri, Mignet, and other respectable scholars succeeded by their writings and denunciations in giving to anti-Jesuitism a sort of literary vogue, not always with scrupulous observance of accuracy or fairness. More harmful still to the order were the plays, the songs, the popular novels against them. Of these the most celebrated was Eugène Sue's "Juif errant" (Wandering Jew) (1844), which soon became the most popular anti-Jesuit book ever printed, and has done more than anything else to give final form to the Jesuit legend.
The special character of this fable is that it has hardly anything to do with the order at all, its traits being simply copied from masonry. The previous Jesuit bogey was at least one which haunted churches and colleges, and worked through the confessional and the pulpit. But this creation of modern fiction has lost all connection with reality. He (or even she) is a person, not necessarily a priest, under the command of a black pope who lives in an imaginary world of back stairs, closets, and dark passages. He is busy with plotting and scheming, mesmerizing the weak and corrupting the honest, occupations diversified by secret crimes or melodramatic attempts at crimes of every sort. The ideal we see is taken over bodily from the real, or the supposed method of the life of the Continental mason. Yet this is the sort of nonsense about which special correspondents send telegrams to the papers, about which revolutionary agitators and crafty politicians make long inflammatory speeches, which standard works of reference discuss quite gravely, which none of our popular writers dares to expose as an imposture (see Brou, op cit. infra, II, 199-247)."

Some Objections:

The answers to many of the accusations against the Society of Jesus are contained in another article, again from the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1917 here:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14103a.htm

And now for the actual writing of the man himself. What was he about? What was his real mission? How did he accomplish that mission. Was it with a sword?  NO!  It was with ideas.

The Romans learned over 20 centuries ago that you can't fight an idea with swords.  They tried that and failed.  They tried to wipe Christianity from the face of the earth and utterly and completely failed.

YOU CAN ONLY FIGHT AN IDEA WITH ANOTHER IDEA!

An explanation and history of his writings:   http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14224b.htm

So from the words of Saint Ignatius of Loyola here are his ideas.

If you have spent a lifetime in a Protestant religion I don't expect you will even read many of these links.

Most protestants are taught from a young age to hate "the jesuits".  I don't have to answer for that, thank God. But I am obligated to tell the truth, and make known the history you have probably never had a chance to see, hence this article, which is my fulfillment of my duty to God and His Church.

Now a word about that Church.  God is not divided against Himself. He is the One, True God in three divine persons, Father (Creator), Son (Redeemer) and Holy Ghost (Sanctifier). Three divine persons in ONE God.

There is NO other God in the Universe. All besides Him are false and impostors. I hope we can agree on that much at least.  
It follows then, that God would not and did not make more than one true religion on this earth. 
It is our job, our duty, to find that one true Faith, and get in it, and stay in it till we take our last breath.
By doing so we fulfill our ultimate purpose, the reason we have been given life, which is to know, love, and serve Him in this life that we may be happy with him for all eternity seeing Him as He really is forever.
Of course God demands that we live by those principles, not just profess them. That is the challenge.
We were created for nothing less than eternal and complete happiness with our creator, for all time without end.

DON'T LOOK FOR THAT RELIGION IN ROME!   Rome has LOST the Faith. The prophecy of La Salette has been fulfilled. Rome has lost the faith and has become the seat of AntiChrist, but the world does not know this yet. It will as time goes on. Use a search engine to look that up. Type in prophecy of La Salette.

Don't take that to mean that I believe God's Church is gone, or corrupt. It's still very much alive and well, but is much smaller than most people believe.  But that is for another article when the time is right.

I know this might leave you with many questions. Good. That is partly what it is meant to do. 

Our Lord has made us some promises that have solutions in them. He told us how to pray. He showed us how to live. How well have we imitated those instructions and His example?  I think not very well, and that is what Saint Ignatius was focused on when he started the Society of Jesus. He realized way back then, over 468 years ago, that we were in trouble and falling away from true Faith. HE LAID DOWN HIS SWORD, and took up the cross, and set a personal example to help us to salvation. He has been lied about, and demonized, and slandered by the enemies of your soul, until that evil legend is almost an institution, but still, those detractors have NOT succeeded in removing his example, and spiritual exercises.

Don't take my word for any of this, but now that you know, how will you answer to God, if you continue to ignore " the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would say?

God bless anyone that reads this and takes it seriously.

 COME, Holy Ghost, into the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.
  V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created;
   R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let Us Pray
      O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the gift of the same Spirit we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

  2. Thanks Paul. I have never met an evil Jesuit. I go to Manresa run by the Jesuits in convent Louisiana every year since 2000. My dad and many friends and family went to schools run by the Jesuits and they have been great.

    1. just looked it up sharif.

      looks like the entire 663-page book is online at:
      zaidpub.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/vatican...

      also, found a:
      vaticanassassins.org website that looks very interesting.

      just by skim-reading through the book's index, i had "puzzle-pieces" clicking together, one after the other.

      this looks like info thats VERY IMPORTANT for us to be aware of.

    2. also, paul l. williams wrote OPERATION GLADIO: The Unholy Alliance between the Vatican, the Mafia, and the CIA.
      And if you only have or interest to read through his index, it is very revealing, too.
      particularly interesting is how it was planned to bring certain harmful things onto the Harlem area (for a beta type testing ground) but the same things had apparently already been used in Chinabto subdue the people.

      kind of reminds me of afgh., if true, for lithium and maybe other things too? so much misinformation, who knows for sure about that kind of thing right now? not me.

  7. the name itself is heresy -- the cerinthus heresy. see jerome re: "your fable of the millenium", or cerinthus in catholic encyclopedia.

    separating jesus from christ. this is done so illuminism/millenialism/their lord and his christ can later appear.

    for once, anna is correct, jesus is not god. jesus is just a nickname, moses had his own "jesus of nun" who wanted a worldly kingdom -- and millenialists even push THAT 'jesus" as part of the prophecy of ezekiel, like it is some precursor to their "son of david" (versus son of joseph) showing up.

    jesuits don't actually matter. it is wokeness nowadays, the name itself is heresy, they were founded to consolidate bible nonsense with dogma (i.e. to destroy dogma, hence vatican II, the 'universal' church ala eliphas levi, go to any jesuit website to see social justice warriors, "socialism" nowadays the un model is the "true christianity")

    the truth is america is masonry/illuminism/millenialism or gnostic monad at best, and sometimes masquerades as old testament "the lord" and his law.

    there is no such thing as a catholic mason, a gnostic catholic, an illuminist catholic, an apocalypse catholic, an old testament catholic, or an american catholic. these are all non-sequitors, rubber and glue, oil and water, grace versus law.

    www.ourladyisgod.com is the only "catholic" church one will find in america. stay home and do the rosary. there is no salvation in "law" (see galatians) or masonry/americanism.

    "the lord" is heresy, as is "jesus" as is "mary". jesuits and SSPX and other "traditional latin mass" groups push all these heresies. this is their real crime -- they tried to merge with protestant sola scriptura, and have destroyed dogma.

    america does "nature's god". not a trinity or baptism in sight. there is no new testament america and never was. the state assemblies have also made this clear -- "the lord" and his "law". anna has as well.

    if there is any catholic church remaining, it is outside of america, off the record, off the books. it cannot be otherwise. www.ourladyisgod.com is the closest america can ever get to "catholicism" -- stay home and do the rosary.

    luther's 2 kingdoms and freedom of religion has to work this way. no new testament in public. christ is banned, and always was. you can worship him at home in private. any 'churches' have zero government authority in america. christ/new testament has zero authority in america. it has ALWAYS been this way, exception maybe articles of confederation where each state chose its own religion.

    the masonic state(s) is/are above any state-sanctioned "churches" of any stripe. that is how america always was, is, ever shall be.

    1. one cannot be catholic and american (of any stripe) at the same time. they are opposite. noone can serve 2 masters -- not even masons. not even the illuminists.

      truth is simple. stay home and do the rosary. "TLM" traditional latin masses are more often than not just as heretical as vatican II.

      if someone is telling you you have to "wait" to not be damned, that is a good sign of the black hand of masonry at work. same games vatican II does with their "holy spirit" "misunderstand on purpose" -- this lets them deny christ to those they want to punish, and give christ to those they think are "worthy". noone was ever worthy.

      if there was any church remaining, it would not be pushing "jesus" "mary" "the lord" heresies, nor anna's nonsense, nor trying to merge with masonic america, nor (as SSPX told everyone) that "god" commands they vote trump.

      www.ourladyisgod.com is the only "catholic" church you will find around america -- stay home and do the rosary. let the masons and "the lord" fight over their "law" and their cursed/damned apocalyptic earth.

      let the jesuit social justice warriors fight over who is more marxist, the marxists who deny christ or the marxists who loot in the name of christ.

      jesuitry doesn't matter. only question is will people keep pushing their heresies. the damage is done, and continues to this day.

      the state assemblies chose 'the lord' and his law and reject grace and reject the new testament. america has spoken. christ and the new testament is banned from america, same as it always was. you can worship him in private in your home, same as america always was.

      Delete
    2. if anyone wants the remnants/what remains of the new testament and "catholicism", see www.ourladyisgod.com -- and stay far away from "america" and "americans" who push endless heresies and "the lord" and his forever cursed/damned "law"

      there used to be the 3rd key: (see fulcanelli, mystery of the cathedrals)

      page 61
      Our Lady Underground
      Sometimes she is represented holding a key

      page 63
      You, who are thirsty, come hithec if, by chance the fountain
      fails
      The goddess has, by degrees, prepared the everlasting waters.
      -----------
      the fountain failed a few centuries ago. the french revolution destroyed things too.

      grace or law. same choices as always. see galatians. "our lady, full of grace". same choices as always.

      "the lord" has shown his true colors as the devil, so everyone gets to choose now lol grace or "the lord" satan.

  8. Jonathan Kleck, has made countless videos proving that "the lord" and other derivatives that are found in the Bible are not referring to our Creator. He accomplished this by using "E-Sword / Strong's Concordance, So, if this being the case that this type of reference material was utilized it can only stand to reason that this Knowledge has been known to many Biblical Scholars for many Generations, The question that needs to be asked is why does the"Vatican" posses one of the World's largest depository of Literature that is inaccessible to the Public, where did they acquire all of it(Library of Alexandria?)? How is this Knowledge being used? For , or against everyone, and if it is being used against US, does it matter? It seems to me that with all of this knowledge that is at their disposal that they always still seem to come up short. Could it be as simple as; "The Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not"?
