Vatican AssassinsChapter 15The JesuitsProtected by Frederick II “the Great” of Prussia andCatherine II “the Great” of Russia“All these things cause the Father-General to be feared by the Pope andthe sovereigns . . . A sovereign who is not their friend will sooner orlater experience their vengeance.” {1}Luigi Desanctis, 1852Official Censor of the InquisitionPopery, Puseyism and JesuitismThe Jesuit Order was now formally banned by Pope Clement XIV’s Bull ofSuppression issued in 1773. The Bull was effective in countries where the RomanCatholic Church and the Civil State were united. In countries where another Churchwas united with the State, the Bull would not be enforced. Such was the case withPrussia and Russia. “Mother Russia” was governed by an absolute monarchy, headedby the Romanoffs. The Romanoff dynasty was the legal protector of the RussianOrthodox Church, which included the Orthodox “Pope” called the “Patriarch.”Church and State were united. Since Pope Clement XIV’s Bull of Suppression wouldnot be enforced in Russia, the Jesuits sought and received admittance and protectionthere. In spite of the fact that Peter the Great had expelled the Jesuits during hisreign in 1719, Catherine the Great freely readmitted them once again in 1773.Catherine believed the Order would protect her throne since she had murderedher husband to acquire it. She was German and a Lutheran, as well as a whoreaccording to her son, Tzar Paul I; but as the Monarch of Russia she was the protectorof the Orthodox Church. Little did she know the secret designs of the Order as itdeeply penetrated the Orthodox priesthood and acquired such political power thatTzar Alexander I would expel it after the Congress of Vienna, in 1820.The other absolute Monarch who gave protection to the Jesuit Order wasFrederick II “the Great,” King of Prussia. This heroic military leader of the SevenYears’ War with its Protestant victory was the protector of the Lutheran Church inthat country. Church and State were united. Therefore, Clement XIV’s Bull ofSuppression and Extinction was not enforced in Lutheran Prussia . . . So the Jesuits,“the Pope’s bodyguard,” sought and received protection from Frederick II.
