“I have found it absolutely necessary to portray the character of the
Jesuits, but for whom, in my opinion, there would be but little to
disturb us. This society has nothing in common with American ideas
or principles . . . It has had a history unlike that of any other society in
the world . . .
Their society is so united and compact that its ranks can not 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 . . .
They believe that the conditions of mankind during the Middle Ages
[the Pope’s Dark Ages], staggering under the weight of feudal
oppression, were preferable to modern progress and enlightenment; that
human happiness would be promoted by the return to that period . . .
The members of this society are numerous and powerful in the
United States . . . They have neither country, nor homes, nor families,
nor friendships beyond the limits of their order – none of the affections
of the heart which give charm and life to 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.
Because of this, a sense of both duty and security demands that the
history and character of this skilled and powerful adversary – alien in
birth, growth, and sentiment – should be understood; as also the causes
which have led to the expulsion of the Jesuits from every country in
Europe, the public odium which has rested upon them for many years,
their long continued disturbance of the peace of nations, and the final
suppression and abolition of their society by one of the best and most
enlightened of the popes.” {25} [Emphasis added]
