The Jesuits on This Day in History

 
A Candid History of the Jesuits - 50 Books on CDrom

This day in history: The Society of Jesus (Jesuits), a religious order of the Catholic Church, started on this day in 1540. The Jesuits have been involved in conspiracy theories for centuries. In fact, at one time in England, it was forbidden to belong to the Jesuits, under grave penalties, including the death penalty. Since then the Jesuits have been claimed to be involved in the French Revolution, the Lincoln Assassination, even the sinking of the Titanic. One book, Vatican Assassins by Eric Jon Phelps, alleged that Newt Gingrich is "one of the ten most dangerous, Jesuitical politicians of the Pope's 'Holy Roman' Fourteenth Amendment, Cartel-Corporate-Fascist, Socialist-Communist American Empire" and it also alleges that the Jesuits played a role in the Assassination of John F. Kennedy.
