I'd like to take a positive and a negative look at the Jesuits. I sometimes joke that they monitor my posting activities, and that they're out to get me. Whether or not this is true, these people are quite controversial. I'm really trying to understand how the world is really run - and the Jesuits seem to be close to the center of things - for better or for worse. Here are some videos to get the ball rolling! So often, the subject is treated either as a nasty slam, or as a whitewash. I like the idea of calmly discussing various subjects - especially the controversial ones. My initial bias is that the Jesuits are basically good people who are in the middle of a very messy situation, which can sometimes be darker than midnight. I like the idea of the purification and reformation of the Roman Catholic Church - rather than just writing this organization off - in a condescending and triumphalistic manner. So I continue to think of myself as sort of a Renegade Roman Catholic - even though I have never been a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Do you see my point? I once attended a scholarly lecture given by a black Jesuit from San Francisco. They are quite the scholars, you know. It's the infiltration, subversion, and poison-cup thing that I have the most trouble with! I think that Jesuits know more about what's really going on in the solar system than just about anyone else. It's almost as if we need to be wise as Jesuits - and harmless as doves! Sorry guys! I couldn't resist! I'm especially interested in the relationship between the Jesuits and the Queen of Heaven - especially regarding the Jesuit General aka the Black Pope. Does the Black Pope meet regularly with the Black Madonna? I realize that this is playing with fire BIG TIME - but I have no agenda or hatred whatsoever. I actually like the current Jesuit General - but I don't even want to think about what he might have to deal with. But here I am - trying to think the thoughts of the Jesuit General and the Queen of Heaven - after them - as they travel underground at twice the speed of sound - on a magneto-leviton train. "Next Stop - Washington DC! The President is Waiting!"

Here is something from the 1916 Congressional Record http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/verona.htm which is worth considering:
Senator Owen: I wish to put in the Record the secret treaty of Verona of November 22, 1822, showing what this ancient conflict is between the rule of the few and the rule of the many. I wish to call the attention of the Senate to this treaty because it is the threat of this treaty which was the basis of the Monroe doctrine. It throws a powerful white light upon the conflict between monarchical government and government by the people. The Holy Alliance under the influence of Metternich, the Premier of Austria, in 1822, issued this remarkable secret document:
SECRET TREATY OF VERONA
AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC CODE, 1778-1884, vol. 2; Elliott, p. 179.
The undersigned, specially authorized to make some additions to the treaty of the Holy Alliance, after having exchanged their respective credentials, have agreed as follows:
ARTICLE 1. The high contracting powers, being convinced that the system of representative government is equally as incompatible with the monarchical principles as the maxim of the sovereignty of the people with the divine right, engage mutually, in the most solemn manner, to use all that their efforts to put an end to the system of representative governments, in whatever county it may exist in Europe, and to prevent it being introduced in those countries where it is not yet known.
ARTICLE 2. As it can not be doubted that the liberty of the press is the most powerful means used by the pretended supporters of the rights of nations to the detriment of those of princes, the high contracting parties promise reciprocally to adopt all proper measures to suppress it, not only in their own States but also in the rest of Europe.
ARTICLE 3. Convinced that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which they owe to their princes, the high contracting parties declare it to be their intention to sustain in their respective States those measures which clergy may adopt, with the aim of ameliorating their own interests, intimately connected with the preservation of the authority of the princes and the contracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for what he has already done for them, and solicit his constant cooperation in their views of submitting the nations.
ARTICLE 4. The situation of Spain and Portugal unite unhappily all the circumstances to which this treaty has particular reference. The contracting parties, in confiding to France the care of putting an end to them, engaged to assist her in the matter which may the least compromit (sic) them with their own people and the people of France by means of a subsidy on the part of the two empires of 20,000,000 of francs every year from the date of the signature of this treaty to the end of the war.
ARTICLE 5. In order to establish in the Peninsula in the order of things which existed before the revolution of Cadiz, and to insure the entire execution of the articles of the present treaty, the high contracting parties give to each other the reciprocal assurance that as long as their views are not fulfilled, rejecting all other ideas of utility or other measure to be taken, they will address themselves with the shortest possible delay to all the authorities existing in their States and to all their agents in foreign countries, with the view to establish connections tending toward the accomplishment of the objects proposed by this treaty.
ARTICLE 6. This treaty shall be renewed with such changes as new circumstances may give occasion for, either at a new congress or at the court of one of the contracting parties, as soon as the war with Spain shall be terminated.
ARTICLE 7. The present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications exchanged at Paris within the space of six months.
Made at Verona the 22nd November, 1822.

I ask to have printed in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD this secret treaty, because I think it ought to be called now to the attention of the people of the United States and of the world. This evidence of the conflict between the rule of the few verses popular government should be emphasized on the minds of the people of the United States, that the conflict now waging throughout the world may be more clearly understood, for after all said the great pending war springs from the weakness and frailty of government by the few, where human error is far more probable than the error of the many where aggressive war is only permitted upon the authorizing vote of those whose lives are jeopardized in the trenches of modern war.
Mr. SHAFROTH, Mr. President, I should like to have the senator state whether in that treaty there was not a coalition formed between the powerful countries of Europe to re-establish the sovereignty of Spain in the Republics of South and Central America?
Senator Owen: "I was just going to comment upon that, and I am going to take but a few moments to do so because I realize the pressure of other matters. This Holy Alliance, having put a Bourdon prince upon the throne of France by force, then used France to suppress the condition of Spain, immediately afterwards, and by this very treaty gave her a subsidy of 20,000,000 francs annually to enable her to wage war upon the people of Spain and prevent their exercise of any measure of the right of self-government.
The Holy Alliance immediately did not same thing in Italy, by sending Austrian troops to Italy, where the people there attempted to exercise a like measure of liberal constitutional self-government; and it was not until the printing press, which the Holy Alliance so stoutly opposed, taught the people of Europe the value of liberty that finally one country after another seized a greater and greater right of self-government, until now it may be fairly said that nearly all the nations of Europe have a very large measure of self-government. However, I wish to call the attention of the Senate to this important history in the growth of constitutional popular self-government.
The Holy Alliance made its powers felt by the wholesale drastic suppression of the press in Europe, by universal censorship, by killing free speech and all ideas of popular rights, and by the complete suppression of popular government."
"The Holy Alliance having destroyed popular government in Spain, and Italy, had well-laid plains also to destroy popular government in the American Colonies which had revolted from Spain and Portugal in Central and South America under the influence of the successful example of the United States."
"It was because of this conspiracy against the American Republics by the European monarchies that the great English statesman, Canning, called the attention of our government to it, and our statesmen then, including Thomas Jefferson, who was still living at that time, took an active part to bring about the declaration by President Monroe in his next annual message to the Congress of the United States that the United States would regard it as an act of hostility to the government of the United States and an unfriendly act, if this coalition, or if any power of Europe ever undertook to establish upon the American continent any control of any American republic, or to acquire any territorial rights."
"This is the so-called Monroe Doctrine. The threat under the secret treaty of Verona to suppress popular government in the American republics is the basis of the Monroe Doctrine. This secret treaty sets fourth clearly the conflict between monarchial government and popular government, and the government of the few as against the government on the many. It is a part, in reality, of developing popular sovereignty when we demand for women equal rights to life, to liberty, to the possession of property, to an equal voice in the making of the laws and the administration of the laws. This demand on the part of the women is made by men, and it ought to be made by men as well as by thinking, progressive women, as it will promote human liberty and human happiness. I sympathize with it, and I hope that all parties will in the national conventions give their approval to this larger measure of liberty to the better half of the human race".
(Senator Owen, Congressional Record 1916)
Has anyone actually read through this free online mini-book? http://www.themistsofavalon.net/universal-lounge-f8/red-letter-church-t1040.htm What is it about this material that got redletterchurch.net http://redletterchurch.net/ removed from the internet? I think I have a pretty good idea why - but I'm not going to spell it out. This Latter Day Reformation is highly heretical and dangerous - so proceed with caution. It's a real orthodoxymoron. I'm really trying to reform the Roman Catholic Church - as are probably tens of millions of others. One out of four people on the planet identify most closely with the RCC - and due to various types of cooperation and infiltration - probably another one out of four people on the planet are under the wings or control of Mother Church. This is just an uninformed estimate. So - despite the inroads of skepticism, nihilism, Protestantism, modernity, bad-publicity, damning scholarship, etc. - this organization is literally into virtually everything throughout the world - for both good and evil. The battle between good and evil may be most intensely fought within the Universal Church. The more I think about all of this - the less I think I really know. I'm just poking and prodding - as an outsider - in an attempt to get the insiders to try some solutions they might not have fully considered. But really - this material will probably only be read by a few people. I'm afraid to openly publish it - so I will continue to sneak around cyberspace - with guerilla warfare rather than trench warfare - in an eschatological exegetical game of hit and run. Don't taze me Father! Aaaarrrrrrgh!!!! Sedavacantists Unite!!!!!!
I've been reading a book published in 1945, titled 'The Wine of Roman Babylon' by Mary Walsh. You Jesuits should have this one in your libraries, right next to 'The Great Controversy' by Ellen White. I continue to be intrigued by cathedrals, classical sacred music, robes, processions, incense, and Latin - but I have HUGE problems with the symbolism and details of the mass (Latin or otherwise). http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1872714663680800365#docid=7583090662971128459 I like the idea of the Teachings of Jesus sung in Latin (alternatim) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDqL6pjpjY - with a homily based upon the Teachings of Jesus in the native tongue - in the middle of the service - with no communion, offering, crucifixes, Dagon fish-head headgear, or announcements - and with most of the lights turned off. Perhaps every service should be a candlelight service. Should the Teachings of Jesus replace Canon Law? Should the U.S. Constitution be the model for church governance? This is obviously damnable and reprehensible heresy - which is anathema - but could this be a legitimate foundation for a minimalist theocracy of sorts? I quit preaching - and went to meddling a long, long time ago. Can you imagine a priest or a pope talking like this??? What would Pope John Paul I say? What would Pat Condell say? What would Mary say? What would Jesus say? What would Rudolph Bultmann say? "Jesus loves me - this I doubt. Rudolph Bultmann found him out!" Sorry. I just couldn't resist. I learned that variation on "Jesus Loves Me" from a college theology student. "Holy, Holy, Holy - Lord's Got My Nitey!" Sorry. I'm on a roll. I learned that variation from a cathedral organist/choirmaster...
One thing you should notice about my ranting and raving - is that I don't make it personal or nasty - and I don't think anyone is going to hell (temporary or eternal). I am simply concerned with the quality of life and governance issues in this solar system. Now I'm going to watch 'Angels and Demons' (for the first time). For me - this subject is like reading a mystery novel. It's just sort of an interesting adventure. I know that it's a lot more serious than that - but I try to keep things light. I would be very, very respectful and polite if I met the Pope or the Jesuit General - but I wouldn't say 'Your Holiness' or 'The Holy Father'. I'd probably simply say 'Father' - even though some say that we shouldn't even say that. I'm really on everyone's side - even the really b@d@$$ humans and non-humans - who I wish to see temporarily removed - but not hurt or destroyed. I know that I'm way too easy and forgiving - but I'm really trying to break the endless cycle of conquest and revenge.
