This piece is on an antiquated manual of how to make an on-when-you-are-a
minority: the secret rules allegedly Jesuits, written during the 16th
century. It is a short piece, very synthetic, which is about 40 pages in
English translation.
The "Jesus" is said to have been created in 1534 by the Spanish nobleman
and man almost sigma Ignatius of Loyola and other Castilians. Recognized as
a legitimate religious order by Pope in 1537, the Company would not live
much in contemplation as other commands, but quickly went into a frenzy of
building schools, send confessors and counselors throughout Christianity
and establish the outpost outside of Europe. Through the centuries, many
promising people were educated in Jesuit schools, and today, the order is
still famous for its "social work" and high cultural level.
A sulfur order

However, the Jesuits are also the Catholic order most sulfurous and
controversial, except perhaps the Templars.
Before the late 16th century, they had already made themselves a reputation
for cunning men who used religion as a tool and a mask for power grabbing.
Again and again, people have remarked how Jesuit priests sneak into the
first circle of rich or powerful figure, become confessors of kings, insist
on being in charge of the education of the son of noble or wealthy
families, distorting the meaning of laws either exonerate obviously guilty
or condemn the innocent, and so on.
Consequently, the Jesuits were expelled from many countries and # 8212;
where they have always managed to slip back into & # 8212; before being
dissolved by Pope Clement XIII in 1773. Pope Said died in suspicious
circumstances. The "Jesus" was officially restored by another pope in 1814,
and he returned to his old place with some delay, as if it had never ceased
to exist secretly for over 40 years.
Colloquial language has been affected by the Jesuit way. The word "Jesuit"
has become synonymous with casuistry and "unclear" or "ambiguous", which
refers to the official Jesuit method to resolve ethical issues. Today it is
still regarded as a dishonest use of evidence and judge sophistry something
in a rather his interests in accordance with justice or truth. Jesuit
priests could absolve a servant who killed his master steal & # 8212; as
long, of course, as stated servant sought absolution from Jesuits and
nobody else & # 8212; but condemn everyone to hell who dared to criticize
them.
Philosopher Blaise Pascal exposed them to joke in a series of texts, the
Provincial Letters (1656-7). Despite what the Catholic Church says today
Pascal quoted the Jesuit casuistry closely, and if you are a lawyer, you
should definitely check those letters.
Like the Jews, the Jesuits have a very positive bias of the official story.
All their cunning, bad reputation, and recurrent problems are easily swept
aside in favor of a narrative that emphasize their courage, intelligence,
or how they have worked for a better world. Just like with the Jews, if you
dare investigate, you will soon be called a "conspiracy theorist". A deadly
mix of undeniable intelligence, Machiavellianism, gaming power, money,
subversion and globalism, all hidden or trivialized by the official
history, is involved in both cases. Someone should write a book about
Jesuitism as Group Policy.
In such circumstances, it is hardly surprising if at all a collection
of "secret instructions" leak. Clear, consistent, understand surprisingly
right for a Jesuit supposedly written & # 8212; Perhaps this is the
strongest argument against its authenticity & # 8212; the secret rules of
high interest to anyone who wants to better understand the relations of
power and intrigue.
The true secret rules?
Shortly after the regulations were published, Jesuit priests rushed to
assert that it had been forged by a disgruntled former member of revenge in
search of their order. The Catholic Encyclopedia and Wikipedia Current year
repeat this assertion. Thus, they say, the book was born in 1614 in Poland,
the Polish be alleged. However, this version is undermined by the fact that
another copy was found which had been published in 1596 in Venice, and that
copy is still there, hidden under an esoteric Latin name. The official view
constantly ignore this copy & # 8212; as if the history of Polish guy had
been forged and secret rules was genuine.
During the eighteenth century, several copies of the Regulations were found
in various Jesuit dens. Finally, a historian of the nineteenth century
would argue that the rules "may have been issued by [Jesuit] authority"
(here, p.147), and a man who had been a Jesuit himself for fourteen years
wrote that the rules were true (here, p.7).
So while the exact author is uncertain, it is very possible that the secret
rules was written by a Jesuit. And whoever the author, even the scholars
inclined to rule as a false stressed the relevance of its content. The
Regulations were "written by a perceptive and keen observer, who, seeing
what the Fathers have done analytically traveled back to find how they did
it," said one. Even "apocryphal, [the book] certainly gives a true
representation of the arts ... and practices of the Jesuits," added
another. It's all that matters.
How to take care when you are a group of cunning priests
As appropriately described "a strange mix of Machiavelli and St. Thomas'
rules explain how a Jesuit should behave so that his company took all the
power he can.
Reading the book, I could not help remembering the 48 Laws of Power Robert
Greene, many of which are clearly illustrated by the secret rules. Is this
really how men or something too dark?
Some of the contents of the Rules & # 8212; and note that I barely scraped
the surface:
Always maintain a good reputation. Be humble, be pious to use. Provide
service and do charity work when you can. Be well groomed. Always follow
the dress code of the Jesuits, so that the order keeps a clean face and
seriousness. At the same time, a joke or two, be entertaining, especially
when someone's attention must be diverted.
Multiply the cat's paws without knowing. Court, the little people that you
really appear generous, selfless, and that small people who like Jesuits
end up playing the occasional informant for them. Small people can also be
used to spread rumors, helping to establish or crush the reputation of the
target people, or is making globally included or excluded. Court and the
rich, the lords, everyone with money and power. The Jesuits must have relay
everywhere without being seen. Obviously, it works particularly well when
the relays are unaware that they are.
Essential. Jesuits are encouraged to act as brokers for possible marriages,
teachers and counselors Intimates, as, as asset managers. Each Jesuit role
can make means more power to order.
Know that everyone is deeper and how to get the best of him. The rules
mention how women "incompatible" and are advised to entertain more than
men. Regarding information, spyware unwittingly mentioned above are useful,
but is the most important source confession. Faithful Catholics are obliged
to tell their "sins" to their regular Father, making it a prime source of
discrete delicacies. Finally, information can be collected to develop
plans, blackmail, and so on.
Targeting the rich widows, make them psychologically dependent on their
Jesuits, deter them from marrying again, turn them into bigots fearful
legacy that will give them away to the "Society of Jesus". Important parts
of the Secret Rules facing widows, indicating the experience of Jesuits by
hooking.
Play the interests of the people, no matter how they are ethical or not.
Jesuits must use a lax & # 8212; and sometimes downright specious & # 8212;
interpretation of the rules, so they can pay more "freedom" of their
flocks. At the same time, they must cultivate an air of unpredictability by
changing their version of what is good or not, and their reasoning must be
so complex that people come to them continuously for spiritual direction.
The official Jesuit policy to facilitate the reception of the sacraments
can be interpreted as a maneuver to lead the herd back very often.
Last but not least, divide and rule. Jesuits must position as prime brokers
to sign contracts and peace agreements, but behind the scenes, they have to
work to play against each other.
It would be advantageous if we could safely and secretly fomenting strife
between the nobles and princes, even mutual waste of their strength; but if
they seem likely to be reconciled, the company should immediately seek to
pacify them, lest it be carried out by another intervention.
The beginning of the end?
If you read Acts 48 Greene, you noticed familiar themes. Grabbing power and
group policies follow models. It is precisely where the Jesuits were
partially undone.
48th Law Greene advises to be informed. Learn how to create new forms, new
strategies, we assume no definitive identity. If we can "reinvent"
constantly, it can grow new unnoticed plans always seem younger.
The Jesuits have violated this law. As Greene could say they took a
perceptible form. The argumentative style usually twisted casuistry, small
games around widows and noble, sudden fluctuations for or against
particular individuals among the clergy, have all become quite distinctive
through the centuries.
As Christianity was expelled from the dominant culture and replaced by
aggressive secularism, the so-called Society of Jesus has become obsolete.
How could priests on the doors of kings when there are no more kings and
when the bankers have taken their place? For many people the Jesuits look
like little more than a relic in this case, the secret rules are an
interesting historical precedent, which gives an example of how an
authentic spirituality can degenerate into a coarse search of wealth and
power, but whose subject is now a mere shadow of itself.
But the Jesuits are still there. Of course, their heyday, if one can speak
of the glory of all, ended long ago. But even then, if you look closely,
you may notice an updated version of degeneration: Jesuit priests played a
key role in the implementation of Vatican II and pushed the "liberation
theology," which is a Christian version of the enthusiasm for
leftist "emancipation". Not to mention Francis Zero, as traditional
Catholics call it, first Jesuit pope of the history and supporter of
rapefugees.
Undoubtedly, there are many gray areas to clarify. The good thing is that
people discover the dark plot is not difficult. After all, they are
shameless, but not smart.
