The Jesuit Oath of Induction is
also recorded in the Congressional Record of the U.S.A.
(House Bill 1523,
Contested election case of Eugene C. Bonniwell, against Thos. S. Butler,
Feb.
15, 1913, pp. 3215-3216) It can also be found in the book entitled,
"Subterranean Rome"
by Charles Didier translated from the French and
published in New York in 1843. Dr.
The article below was taken from the book
Subterranean Rome by Charles Didier, translated from the French and published in
New York in 1843. Dr. Alberto Rivera escaped from the Jesuit Order in 1967, and
he describes his Jesuit oath in exactly the same way as it appears in this book.
After reading this, ask yourself the question: Is this REALLY the church of
Jesus Christ???
"When a Jesuit of the minor rank is to be elevated to
command, he is conducted into the Chapel of the Convent of the Order, where
there are only three others present, the principal or Superior standing in front
of the altar. On either side stands a monk, one of whom holds a banner of yellow
and white, which are the Papal colors, and the other a black banner with a
dagger and red cross above a skull and crossbones, with the word INRI, and below
them the words IUSTUM, NECAR, REGES, IMPIOUS. The meaning of which is: It is
just to exterminate or annihilate impious or heretical Kings, Governments, or
Rulers. Upon the floor is a red cross at which the postulant or candidate
kneels. The Superior hands him a small black crucifix, which he takes in his
left hand and presses to his heart, and the Superior at the same time presents
to him a dagger, which he grasps by the blade and holds the point against his
heart, the Superior still holding it by the hilt, and thus addresses the
postulant:"
Superior speaks:
My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the
dissembler: among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even
among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man. Among the
Reformers, to be a reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the
Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a
Protestant, and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their
pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our Holy Religion
and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become a Jew among Jews, that you
might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your
Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.
You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds
of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at
peace, and incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other,
and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and
prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of
peace. To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother
Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with
which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the
end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end
justifies the means.
You have been taught your duty as a spy, to gather
all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source; to
ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and
heretics of every class and character, as well as that of the merchant, the
banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities, in parliaments and
legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to
all men, for the Pope's sake, whose servants we are unto death.
You have received all your instructions heretofore as
a novice, a neophyte, and have served as co-adjurer, confessor and priest, but
you have not yet been invested with all that is necessary to command in the Army
of Loyola in the service of the Pope. You must serve the proper time as the
instrument and executioner as directed by your superiors; for none can command
here who has not consecrated his labors with the blood of the heretic; for
"without the shedding of blood no man can be saved." Therefore, to fit yourself
for your work and make your own salvation sure, you will, in addition to your
former oath of obedience to your order and allegiance to the Pope, repeat after
me---
The Extreme Oath of the Jesuits:
"1, _ now, in the presence of Almighty God, the
Blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed Michael the Archangel, the blessed St. John the
Baptist, the holy Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul and all the saints and sacred
hosts of heaven, and to you, my ghostly father, the Superior General of the
Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius Loyola in the Pontificate of Paul the
Third, and continued to the present, do by the womb of the virgin, the matrix of
God, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear, that his holiness the Pope
is Christ's Vice-regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic or
Universal Church throughout the earth; and that by virtue of the keys of binding
and loosing, given to his Holiness by my Savior, Jesus Christ, he hath power to
depose heretical kings, princes, states, commonwealths and governments, all
being illegal without his sacred confirmation and that they may safely be
destroyed. Therefore, to the utmost of my power I shall and will defend this
doctrine of his Holiness' right and custom against all usurpers of the heretical
or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Lutheran of Germany, Holland,
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the now pretended authority and churches of England
and Scotland, and branches of the same now established in Ireland and on the
Continent of America and elsewhere; and all adherents in regard that they be
usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome. I do now
renounce and disown any allegiance as due to any heretical king, prince or state
named Protestants or Liberals, or obedience to any of the laws, magistrates or
officers.
I do further declare that the doctrine of the
churches of England and Scotland, of the Calvinists, Huguenots and others of the
name Protestants or Liberals to be damnable and they themselves damned who will
not forsake the same.
I do further declare, that I will help, assist, and
advise all or any of his Holiness' agents in any place wherever I shall be, in
Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, Ireland or
America, or in any other Kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my
uttermost to extirpate the heretical Protestants or Liberals' doctrines and to
destroy all their pretended powers, regal or otherwise.
I do further promise and declare, that
notwithstanding I am dispensed with, to assume my religion heretical, for the
propaganda of the Mother Church's interest, to keep secret and private all her
agents' counsels from time to time, as they may entrust me and not to divulge,
directly or indirectly, by word, writing or circumstance whatever; but to
execute all that shall be proposed, given in charge or discovered unto me, by
you, my ghostly father, or any of this sacred covenant.
I do further promise and declare, that I will have no
opinion or will of my own, or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse
or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every
command that I may receive from my superiors in the Militia of the Pope and of
Jesus Christ.
That I may go to any part of the world withersoever I
may be sent, to the frozen regions of the North, the burning sands of the desert
of Africa, or the jungles of India, to the centers of civilization of Europe, or
to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America, without murmuring or
repining, and will be submissive in all things whatsoever communicated to
me.
I
furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and
wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and
Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the
face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition;
and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous
heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants'
heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race.
That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup,
the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet,
regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons,
whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any
time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the
Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.
In confirmation of which, I hereby dedicate my life,
my soul and all my corporal powers, and with this dagger which I now receive, I
will subscribe my name written in my own blood, in testimony thereof; and should
I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers
of the Militia of the Pope cut off my hands and my feet, and my throat from ear
to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein, with all the punishment that
can be inflicted upon me on earth and my soul be tortured by demons in an
eternal hell forever!
All of which, I, _, do swear by the Blessed Trinity
and blessed Sacraments, which I am now to receive, to perform and on my part to
keep inviolable; and do call all the heavenly and glorious host of heaven to
witness the blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, and witness the same further
with my name written and with the point of this dagger dipped in my own blood
and sealed in the face of this holy covenant."
(He receives the wafer from the Superior and writes
his name with the point of his dagger dipped in his own blood taken from over
his heart.)
Superior speaks:
"You will now rise to your feet and I will instruct
you in the Catechism necessary to make yourself known to any member of the
Society of Jesus belonging to this rank.
In the first place, you, as a Brother Jesuit, will
with another mutually make the ordinary sign of the cross as any ordinary Roman
Catholic would; then one cross his wrists, the palms of his hands open, and the
other in answer crosses his feet, one above the other; the first points with
forefinger of the right hand to the center of the palm of the left, the other
with the forefinger of the left hand points to the center of the palm of the
right; the first then with his right hand makes a circle around his head,
touching it; the other then with the forefinger of his left hand touches the
left side of his body just below his heart; the first then with his right hand
draws it across the throat of the other, and the latter then with a dagger down
the stomach and abdomen of the first. The first then says Iustum; and the other
answers Necar; the first Reges. The other answers Impious." (The meaning of
which has already been explained.) "The first will then present a small piece of
paper folded in a peculiar manner, four times, which the other will cut
longitudinally and on opening the name Jesu will be found written upon the head
and arms of a cross three times. You will then give and receive with him the
following questions and answers:
Question —From whither do you come? Answer — The Holy
faith.
Q. —Whom do you serve?
A. —The Holy Father at Rome, the Pope, and the Roman
Catholic Church Universal throughout the world.
Q. —Who commands you?
A. —The Successor of St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder
of the Society of Jesus or the Soldiers of Jesus Christ.
Q. —Who received you? A. —A venerable man in white
hair.
Q. —How?
A. —With a naked dagger, I kneeling upon the cross
beneath the banners of the Pope and of our sacred order.
Q. —Did you take an oath?
A. —I did, to destroy heretics and their governments
and rulers, and to spare neither age, sex nor condition. To be as a corpse
without any opinion or will of my own, but to implicitly obey my Superiors in
all things without hesitation of murmuring.
Q. —Will you do that? A. —I will.
Q. —How do you travel? A. —In the dark of Peter the
fisherman.
Q. —Whither do you travel? A. —To the four quarters
of the globe.
Q. —For what purpose?
A. —To obey the orders of my general and Superiors
and execute the will of the Pope and faithfully fulfill the conditions of my
oaths.
Q. —Go ye, then, into all the world and take
possession of all lands in the name of the Pope. He who will not accept him as
the Vicar of Jesus and his Vice-regent on earth, let him be accursed and
exterminated."
