Especially since 1814 when the Jesuits were
restored by order of the Pope -- if they needed
restoration -- have the attacks by Catholic scholars
on the Bible, and by other scholars who are
Protestants in name, become bitter.
“For it must be said that the Roman Catholic or
the Jesuitical system of argument -- the work of the
Jesuits from the sixteenth century to the present
day -- evinces an amount of learning and dexterity,
a subtility of reasoning, a sophistry, a plausibility
combined, of which ordinary Christians have but
little idea... Those who do so (take the trouble to
investigate) find that, if tried by the rules of right
reasoning, the argument is defective, assuming
points which should be proved; that it is logically
false, being grounded in sophisms; that it rests in
many cases on quotations which are not genuine...
on passages which, when collated with the original,
are proved to be wholly inefficacious as proofs.”[7]
