<strong>Vatican</strong> <strong>Assassins</strong><br />

“The order of the Jesuits, we have seen, was restored to their former<br />

glory, and devilish capacity for mischief, in 1814. There were two<br />

reasons for their revival; the sinking cause of civil despotism: the<br />

decline of popery, and spiritual tyranny. These tools of the pope, and<br />

the legitimates, are now in full operation in Europe. But their zeal and<br />

imprudence, every one sees, are causing the tide of public opinion, and<br />

the genius of liberty, to set in against them. They blame, and not<br />

without reason, our republic, as the prime cause of all this excitement<br />

in Europe against them. And, as long as this great and free nation is in<br />

the full tide of the most successful experiment of SELF-<br />

GOVERNMENT, they know that the people of Europe will not bear<br />

much longer with the thrones of tyrants, and the systems of misrule,<br />

devised by the priest-ridden and warlike men, in the Dark Ages . . .<br />

Hence all the tyrants of Europe hate us; and seek our downfall with<br />

immovable perseverance.<br />

And well do the Metterniches, and Schlegels know that popery is just<br />

that fatal weapon, — and that the Jesuits are just the cold-blooded<br />

conspirators that will work out their salvation for them, in our<br />

downfall, if heaven permit human means to achieve it.” {20}<br />

“This Society is, besides, a political engine . . . Devoted to the past,<br />

they are the enemies of the future; so much so, that were it possible,<br />

they would even prevent time from advancing . . . They are not citizens<br />

of any country. They are Jesuits only. They have but one family, one<br />

fortune, and one end; and all these are included in the word Community<br />

. . . to labour, in short, for one only object, which is not the triumph of<br />

religion, but the triumph of the Company of Jesus, and the<br />

establishment of its mastery over the world.” {21} [Emphasis added]<br />
