110 Vatican AssassinsSaint Bartholomew’s Massacre, August 24, 1572 #24 FrancisBorgia, the 3 rd Jesuit General (1565-1572), having been in secret councilwith the Monarchs of France, laid the plan for this mass-murder of therighteous French Protestant Calvinists including their great leader,Admiral Gaspard de Coligny. Pope Pius V, formerly “Brother Michael”the Inquisitor, exhorted both Queen Regent Catherine de Medici and herson, King Charles IX, “ . . . to punish the heretics with all severity, and thusjustly to avenge not only their own wrongs, but those of Almighty God; topursue and destroy the remnants of the enemy, and wholly to tear up notonly the roots of an evil so great, and which had gathered to itself muchstrength, but also the very fibers of the roots . . . Under no circumstances,and from no considerations, ought the enemies of God to be spared.” Thiswas done in obedience to the Order’s evil Council of Trent, which to thisday stands affirmed <strong>by</strong> the Second Vatican Council, having been neitherrepudiated nor renounced <strong>by</strong> either the Black Pope or the Papal Caesar.Ridpath’s Universal History, John Clark Ridpath, (New York: Merrill & Baker,1901) Vol. XIII, p. 253.The Counter-Reformation in Europe, Arthur Robert Pennington, (London: ElliotStock, 1899) p. 162.The Jesuits – 1572
