Secret Instructions of the Society of Jesus

Ch. VI-"OF THE MODE OF ATTRACTING RICH WIDOWS."

Just read them and weep, brethren! Read especially this sentence p. 8 "Insist upon the advantages of widowhood, and
the inconvenience of marriage, in particular that of a repeated one, and the dangers to which she will be exposed,
relatively to her particular businesses into which we are desirous of penetrating."

Ch. XI-"HOW WE MUST CONDUCT OURSELVES UNITEDLY AGAINST THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN EXPELLED FROM
THE SOCIETY."

This is a portrait of the pattern of persecution and annihilation that every ex-Jesuit, and in truth, every past ex-priest
knows, and every future dissident can expect.

Ch. XV-"HOW THE COMPANY MUST BE CONDUCTED WITH THE MONKS AND NUNS."

(Meaning other religious Orders-of course)

Ch. XVI-"HOW WE MUST MAKE PROFESSION OF DESPISING RICHES."

The gem of them all-really meaning "How we must pretend to despise riches."

What more vicious enemies could the bishops and diocesan clergy have than those Jesuit Monitors who wrote: "We
must inquire into and note the defects of the other fathers and when we find them, we must divulge them among our
faithful friends as though condoling over them." (Ch. V. p. 17)

Read the Jesuits' opinion of other religious orders "calling attention to the indolence and stupidity of the Monks as if
they were cattle." (Ch. XVII P. 41)

The Jesuits themselves should be concerned with the fact that history does repeat itself. In Mexico, in Peru, in France,
in Italy, in Germany, in Spain, in Portugal, in Paraguay, in Colombia, in Brazil, in Argentina, in Chile, in Austria and in
very many other countries the Jesuits gained so much wealth, in land, in buildings and in money, that others became
jealous.

In every country the Jesuits were thrown out. Their property and wealth was confiscated.

The Jesuits are now repeating their history in the United States of America. Their landed wealth and holdings are
fabulous.

What makes them think that history will not inexorably and inevitably repeat itself again here in America?

Secret Instructions of the Society of Jesus

SECRET INSTRUCTIONS

OF THE

SOCIETY OF JESUS

PREFACE

These particular instructions must be guarded and kept with careful attention by the superiors, communicated with
prudent caution to a few of the professors; in the meantime there does not exist any other thing so good for the Society;
but we are charged with the most profound silence, and to make a false show, should they be written by any one though
founded in the experience we have had. As there are various professors who are in these secrets, the Society has fixed
the rule, that those who know these reserved instructions that they cannot pass in any one religious Order, whether it
be of the Carthusians, to cause them to retire from that in which they live, and the inviolable silence with which they are
to be guarded, all of which has been confirmed by the Holy See. Much care must be taken that they do not get out; for
these counsels in the hands of strange persons to the Society, because they will give a sinister interpretation invidious
to our situation.

If (unless God does not permit) we reach success, we must openly deny that the Society shelters such thoughts and to
take care that it is so affirmed by those of the Society that they are ignorant by not having been communicated, which
they can protest with truth, that they know nothing of such instructions; and that there does not exist other than the
general printed or manuscripts, which they can present, to cause any doubt to vanish. The superiors must with
prudence and discretion, inquire if any of the Society have shown these instructions to strangers; for neither for himself,
or for another, they must be copied by no one, without permission of the General or of the Provincial; and when it is
feared that anyone has given notice of these instructions, we shall not be able to guard so rigorous a secret; and we
must assert to the contrary, all that is said in them, it will be so given to be understood, that they only show to all, to be
proved, and afterwards they will be dismissed.

CHAPTER 1.

THE MANNER OF PROCEDURE WITH WHICH THE SOCIETY

MUST BE CONDUCTED WHEN CONSIDERING THE COMMENCING

OF SOME FOUNDATION.

1. To capture the will of the inhabitants of a country, it is very important to manifest the intent of the Society, in the
manner prescribed in the regulations in which it is said, that the Society must labor with such ardor and force for the
salvation of their neighbor as for themselves. For the better inducement of this idea, the most opportunely that we
practice the most humble offices, visiting the poor, the afflicted, and the imprisoned. It is very convenient to confess with
much promptness, and to hear the confessions, showing indifference, without teasing the penitents; for this, the most
notable inhabitants will admire our fathers and esteem them; for the great charity they have for all, and the novelty of
the subject.

2. To have in mind that it is necessary to ask with religious modesty, the means for exercising the duties of the
Society, and that it is needful to procure and acquire benevolence, principally of the secular ecclesiastics, and of
persons of authority, that may be conceived necessary.

3. When called to go to the most distant places, where alms are to be received, they are to be accepted, no matter
how small they may be, after having marked out the necessities of ourselves. Notwithstanding, it will be very convenient
at the moment to give those alms to the poor, for the edification of those who do not have an exact understanding of the
Society; and, "but we must in advance be more liberal with ourselves."

4. All must labor as if we were inspired by the same spirit; and each one must study to acquire the same styles, with
the object of uniformity among so great a number of persons, edifying the whole; those who do the contrary must be
expelled as pernicious.

5. In a beginning it is not convenient to purchase property; but in case they can be found, some good sites may be
bought, saying that they are to belong to other persons, using the names of some faithful friends, who will guard the
secret. The better to make our poverty apparent, the property nearest our college must belong to colleges the most
distant, that we can prevent the princes and magistrates from ever knowing that the income of the Society has a fixed
point.

6. We must not ourselves go out to reside to form colleges, except to the rich cities; for in this we must imitate Christ,
who remained in Jerusalem; and as he alone, passed by the less considerable populations.

7. We must obtain and acquire of the widows all the money that we can, presenting ourselves at repeated times to
their sight our extreme necessity.

8. The Superior over each province is the one to whom we must account with certainty, the income of the same; but
the amount to the treasurer at Rome, it is, and must always be, an impenetrable mystery.

9. It is for us to preach and say in all parts and in all conversations, that we have come to teach the young and aid
the people; and this without interest in any single species and without exception of persons, and that we are not so
onerous to the people as other religious orders.
