Why do we hesitate, then, incommencing to eradicate and root out heresy, root and branch, andespecially this Calvinistic abomination? Kill them, then, the hounds, strikethem down, and hurl them to the ground, give them their finishing stroke,burn their houses over their heads, and overwhelm them with everything ofthe worst description that can be invented, so that the hateful brood mayfinally disappear from off the face of the earth.” {1} [Emphasis added]Tanner, Windeck, Eberman, 1610German Jesuits preachingThe Thirty Years’ War“It is certain that the Jesuits, through the favour of the emperor, whichcannot be overestimated, have attained to overwhelming power . . . Theyhave the upper hand in everything, even over the most prominent ministerof state, and domineer over them, if they do not carry out their will . . .Their influence has always been considerable, but it has reached its zenithsince Father Lamormaini has been confessor to the emperor.” {2}German Papal Nuncio toCardinal Barberini, 1626“The Jesuits [being ‘mischief makers” as Pope Clement XIV later declaredin his Suppression and Extinction of the Society of Jesus in 1773] . . .immersed themselves to such an extent in worldly affairs, that their storybelongs to general history. . . . They poured large treasures of gold into thehands of Tilly and Wallenstein that they might smite the bodies of[German Protestant Lutheran] heretics . . . ” {3} [Emphasis added]E.
