Vatican Assassins“[The Jesuits] . . . aim and object was that the war . . . should in truth,become a war of annihilation. Besides, was it possible for them to allowpeace to be concluded with countries whose rebellious Governmentshad issued a law ruling that no Jesuit should ever again dare to show hisface, under pain of death, within their boundaries? This, indeed, hadBohemia done, as also Hungary, Moravia, Silesia, with Upper andLower Austria; and not only had they acted thus; but, at the same time,had publicly disclosed to the world, all the nefarious peculiarities anddeeds of the Order of Jesus, in such a manner as to embitter the feelingsof the Jesuits in the highest degree . . . the whole frightful responsibilityfor this terrible thirty years’ war must rest upon the Emperor FerdinandII, and his teachers, rulers, and bosom friends, the Sons of Loyola.” {6}Theodor Griesinger, 1873German Historian TheJesuitsThis most horrible chapter in history was started <strong>by</strong> the Protestants using theirSwords of Just Defense as a result of years of Jesuit persecution through the HolyRoman Emperor, Ferdinand II.
