Satan/Egyptian Set, for the Company of Loyola was created by the Devil out of the midst of a
Spanish pentagon-shaped fortress.
Pope Paul III is a major figure in the history of the Society of Jesus, and consequently of
the United States of America, since it was he who approved, in the summer of 1539, Ignatius de
Loyola's business plan. Ignatius proposed a 'minimal society' that would "do battle in the Lord
God's service under the banner of the Cross." The militia would be very small, no more than
sixty members, and each would have to take four vows—of poverty, chastity, obedience to the
Church, and a vow of special obedience to the pope. They would not be confined to any specific
parish but would be dispersed throughout the world according to the papacy's needs. They
would wear no particular habit, but dress according to the environment in which they found
themselves and infiltrate the world in an unpredictable variety of pursuits—as doctors, lawyers,
authors, reforming theologians, financiers, statesmen, courtiers, diplomats, explorers,
tradesmen, printers, merchants, poets, scholars, scientists, architects, engineers, artists,
philosophers, and whatever the world might demand and the Church require.
[Loyola's strategy was identical to that of "V.S.S. V.F.F. Prince of the Jews” in November, 1489,
to Chemor, Rabbi of Arles in Provence, on January 13. It advised the Jews of Europe to adopt
the tactics of the Trojan Horse; to make their sons Christian priests, lawyers, doctors, etc., and
work to destroy the Christian structure from within]. Their head would be a Superior General.
In the Constitutions which Ignatius was writing, the Superior General would be "obeyed and
reverenced at all times as the one who holds the place of Christ our Lord." The phrase "holds
the place of Christ" means that the Superior General would share with the Pope, at a level
unperceived by the general public, the divine title of "Vicar of Christ" first claimed by Gelasius I
on May 13, 495 A.D. Loyola's completed Constitutions would repeat five hundred times that
one is to see Christ in the person of the Superior General. The General's equal status with the
Pope, advantaged by an obscurity that renders him virtually invisible, is why the commander-in-
chief of the Society of Jesus has always been called Papa Nero, the “Black Pope”.
The Superior General's small army would be trained by the ‘Spiritual Exercises’ to
practice a brand of obedience Loyola termed contemplativus in actione, active contemplation,
instantaneous obedience with all critical thought suppressed. As stated in Section 353.1 of the
Exercises: "We must put aside all judgment of our own, and keep the mind ever ready and
prompt to obey in all things the hierarchical Church." But Jesuit obedience would be more than
mere obedience of the will. An obedient will suppresses what it would do in order to obey what
a superior wants done. Ignatius demanded obedience of the understanding. An obedient
understanding alters its perception of reality according to the superior's dictates. Section
365.13 declares: Francis Xavier would later describe this quality of submission in a vow that
unintentionally summarized the Jesuit mission: "I would not even believe in the Gospels, were
the Holy Church to forbid it."
Roman Catholic Archbishop James E. Quigley stated, "Within twenty years this
country is going to rule the world. Kings and Emperors will soon pass away and the
democracy of the United States will take their place . . . When the United States rules the
