Chapter 6 135“Between 1555 and 1931 [1921] the Society of Jesus was expelled fromat least 83 countries, city states and cities, for engaging in politicalintrigue and subversive plots against the welfare of the state, accordingto the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [Jesuit Thomas J. Campbell,The Jesuits, 1534 - 1921] . . . practically every instance of expulsionwas for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, andinciting to political insurrection.” {4} [Emphasis added]J. E. C. Shepherd, 1987Canadian Historian TheBabington PlotIn 1589, King Henry III of France was stabbed to death <strong>by</strong> the Jesuit assassinJacques Clement — ending the dynasty of the House of Valois.
