Origins of the Society of Jesuits
The Society of Jesus was founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish knight
who had been wounded during the Battle of Pamplona in 1521 and subsequently
experienced a religious conversion, later recounted in his famed 
Spiritual
Exercises 
(to this day, still considered a fundamental classic of spiritual
literature.) In 1534, Ignatius and six other pilgrims announced the formation of
the Society of Jesus, professing vows of poverty, asceticism, chastity and strict
and absolute obedience to the rule of the Pope and the Holy See.
Ignatius’ military background culminated in a stringent, chivalric spiritual
knighthood where members were vowed to accept orders from the church
wherever in the world they may live, often under the most extreme conditions
imaginable. This martial attitude of absolute devotion to the Society and to the
Vatican enabled the Jesuits’ colloquial appellate of being “God’s Soldiers” and
“the Secret Service of the Vatican”, earning them a strong reputation for their
roles in the Counter Reformation and the Spanish Inquisition of the 17th century
and eventually the implementation of the Second Vatican Council of 1962,
otherwise known as Vatican II, which implicitly modernized the Catholic
Church by allowing the recitation of the Mass in English, among other more
contemporary developments.
Early Jesuit growth was established through a long scale period of missionary 
conversion, particularly in developing countries among indigenous peoples, 
resulting from Spanish explorations of the New World in North and South 
America in the 17th and 18th centuries. Critical to this growth was the need for 
a common enemy, and the newly emerged Protestant faith found itself 
at
increasing odds with the rabidly zealous Jesuits.
Resultantly, an edict of formal suppression of the Jesuits under strong secular

pressure was signed by Pope Clement XIV in July of 1773 (a full three years 
before the founding of the Illuminati), a suppression that would affect all of 
Europe with the exception of Prussia (which included both Poland and Bavaria 
due to the empire’s growth at the time) and Russia. It is through these particular 
kingdoms that the work of the Jesuits was able to continue unabated despite 
formal suppression; and coincidentally, both these kingdoms saw a distinct rise 
in both Masonic and Masonically derived bodies during that same time. The 
suppression was officially reversed by the bull of Pope Pius VII in 1814, 
subsequent to the Napoleonic wars (wars, it should be noted, that were directly 
financed by the now-familiar Rothschild bloodline of the Illuminati. Also worth 
taking into consideration is Napoleon’s own role as a historic Freemason and
Illuminati member.)
The role of the Napoleonic wars should be examined in light of the emperor’s 
relation to the Illuminati and Freemasonry. The conflicts and Napoleonic 
territorial expansion helped pave the way for continued Illuminati conquest, with 
both the church and its constituents under frequent target as being 
representatives of the “old” order which both Napoleon and the Illuminati sought 
to overthrow. In particular, Pope Pius VII under increasingly strained relations
with Napoleon; relations which resulted in his exile in the Italian seaport of
Savona after French conquest and annex of the Papal States in 1809. Pius’s 
release was eventually guaranteed by the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815 
and the subsequent Congress of Vienna, and both Jesuit restoration and return to 
papal rule was declared throughout many formerly Catholic provinces of 
Europe.
Yet both Pius and church had found themselves in an increasingly changed 
world after the 12 years of fighting and revolution the wars had wrought across 
Europe. No longer was Catholicism the predominate Christian faith; its assured
bete noire 
of Protestantism has supplanted its iron hold throughout much of
Europe, with the result that the papacy was forced to adapt to the changes of
increasing egalitarianism and colonization that was changing both the
geographic and cultural outlook of European thought. The result was the
increased visibility of Jesuit presence in the still burgeoning United States,
