Chapter 6 135<br />

“Between 1555 and 1931 [1921] the Society of Jesus was expelled from<br />

at least 83 countries, city states and cities, for engaging in political<br />

intrigue and subversive plots against the welfare of the state, according<br />

to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [Jesuit Thomas J. Campbell,<br />

The Jesuits, 1534 - 1921] . . . practically every instance of expulsion<br />

was for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, and<br />

inciting to political insurrection.” {4} [Emphasis added]<br />

The Babington Plot<br />

In 1589, King Henry III of France was stabbed to death by the Jesuit assassin<br />

Jacques Clement — ending the dynasty of the House of Valois. For glorifying this<br />

treasonous murder, the Jesuit Guignard was publicly executed with the hangman’s<br />

noose. The throne passed to a Protestant, Henry of Navarre also known as King<br />

Henry IV. Henry’s ascent began the Bourbon dynasty that would span nearly three<br />

centuries. At its anti-Jesuit height it would threaten war on the Papacy if it refused to<br />

abolish the Company of Jesus in the late Eighteenth Century and at its pro-Jesuit<br />

depth it would end in disgrace, overthrown by an outraged France, in 1830. Henry<br />

was not fully accepted as king until he renounced Protestantism, as the Jesuits had<br />

plotted to give the crown to a Spanish Roman Catholic, Clara Isabella. Henry’s<br />

cowardly and shameful renunciation was accomplished in 1593.<br />

Henry IV proved to be the greatest French king since Charlemagne. He<br />

sought to better the plight of the peasants created by Rome’s Dark Ages. He<br />

encouraged the arts and industries while manufacturers arose throughout the kingdom.<br />

France began to flourish while its treasury increased. Henry IV’s greatest act,<br />

however, was the issuing of the Edict of Nantes in 1598. This edict guaranteed<br />

freedom of worship and equality of rights to the Protestant Huguenots. The Jesuits<br />

were furious! If religious freedom was permitted, France might become a Protestant<br />

nation. O horrors! Although a Roman Catholic, the king’s good will toward the<br />

Protestants brought upon him the one hundred and twenty-five curses of the Jesuits’<br />

Council of Trent. Clearly Henry IV must die!<br />

The Jesuits must now fulfill their bloody Oath as they did with Admiral<br />

Coligny and Henry III. The king clearly understood his peril. Chiniquy writes in<br />

quoting Sully’s Memoirs:<br />

“Henry IV, King of France, after being wounded by an assassin sent by<br />

the Jesuits, said: ‘I am compelled to do one of these two things: Either<br />

recall the Jesuits, free them from the infamy and disgrace with which<br />
