*Revealing Letter from a former Catholic*
*WORSHIP OF THE VIRGIN MARY -- A Jesuit Foundation*
Dear Pastor Morgan
Mary worship was one of the last false doctrines of Catholicism from
which I had to be delivered. From the moment I entered St. Paul’s grade
school, I was indoctrinated into the cult of Mary. For the next eight
years of Catholic schooling, I would be taught daily prayers to Mary
(morning, twice at noon and at the end of the school day). I would be
taught songs that glorified Mary and learn the use of rosaries,
scapulars, candles, incense and image worship. I
can honestly say that I was "saturated" with Mary worship.
At age six, I had no idea that the masters of mysticism were about to
brainwash me or that the same methods used on me would be used on
millions of other
Catholic children around the world. These masters of mysticism are none
other than the Jesuits, the master minds behind Catholic education.
The Jesuits, founded by Ignatius Loyola (himself a mystic given to
visions of Mary, often flagellating and cutting himself), are, in the
words of Catholic theologian
J.Huber (a professor in Munich) in his publication Les Jesuites (1875):
"A mixture of piety and diplomacy, asceticism and worldly wisdom,
mysticism and cold
calculation: as was Loyola’s character, so is the trademark of this
Order" ("Secret History of the Jesuits, Edmund Paris, 19).
It is not my purpose to go into the history of the Jesuits, their moral
depravity or their numerous crimes against humanity all done "to the
glory of God", but more so
their teachings, of whom I was a student.
"It is not a Jesuit of old, but a contemporary one who writes: ‘He (the
Jesuit) will not forget that the characteristic virtue of the Company is
total obedience of the
action, the will, and even the judgment...All the superiors will be
bound in the same way to higher ones and the Father General to the Holy
Father...It was so
arranged as to render the Holy See’s authority universally efficacious,
and saint Ignatius was sure that teaching and education would henceforth
bring back to
Catholic unity a Europe torn apart.’ It is with the hope of ‘reforming
the world’, wrote Father Bonhours, ‘that he particularly embraced this
means: the instruction of
youth...’ The education of Paraguay’s natives was done on the same
principles the Fathers used to apply, now apply and will apply on
everyone and everywhere;
their aim, deplored by Mr. Boehmer, but which is ideal to the eyes of
those fanatics: the renouncement of all personal judgement, all
initiative, a blind submission to
the superiors. Is it not that ‘height of freedom’, ‘the liberation from
one’s own bondage’ praised by R.P. Rouquette, which we mentioned earlier
on? In fact, the
good Guaranis [savages] had been ‘liberated’ so well by the Jesuitical
method for more than one hundred and fifty years that, when their
masters left during the 18th
century, they went back into their forests and returned to their ancient
customs as if nothing had happened" ("The Secret History of the
Jesuits", Paris,
58)(Emphasis mine).
The Jesuits believed that if they could teach the youth they would
belong to them forever. They regarded the education of the young as the
most important means of
achieving this aim, "...for thus could the mind, reason and imagination
of innumerable young people, from their first inclination towards
independent thought and
emotion up to full maturity, be permanently and systematically
influenced in the best and most effective manner" ("The Power and Secret
of the Jesuits", Rene
Fulop-Miller, 404-405). [C.E. NOTE: This emphasis upon the importance of
educating the young is a principal tenant of Communism]
O.C. Lambert, who wrote "Catholicism Against Itself", on page 278 of the
second volume, recognizes the dangers: "If they [Catholics] can ever get
hold of the
schools, soon everything else is ruled out. There is no more effective
way to make America Catholic than to get control of the schools. THIS IS
ALWAYS THEIR
FIRST LINE OF EFFORT IN SUBJUGATING A COUNTRY." (Emphasis mine)
"Father" Charmot, in "La Pedagogie des Jesuites", pages 413-17, says:
"The pedagogic method of the Company [Jesuits] consists first of all of
surrounding the
pupils with a great network of prayers ... Let us not be anxious as to
where and how mysticism is inserted into education! ... It is not done
through a system or
artificial technique, but by infiltration, by ‘endosmosis’. The
children’s souls are impregnated because of their being in close
‘contact with masters who are literally
saturated with it’ " ("The Secret History of the Jesuits", Paris, 59).
Just these few quotes tell us enough about the principle aim of the
Jesuits...their desire to "insert" mysticism into education ...but what
mysticism are they talking
about? "At the front - it is characteristic of this Order - we find the
Virgin Mary. ‘Loyola had made the Virgin the most important thing in his
life. The Worship of
Mary was the base of his religious devotions and was handed down by him
to his Order. This worship developed so much that it was often said, and
with good
reason, that it was the Jesuits’ real religion’ " [the quote inside the
quote is by "Father" Charmot, a Catholic, not a Protestant] ("The Secret
History of the Jesuits:
Paris, 59).
Loyola himself was convinced that the "Virgin" had coached him through
visions and audible voices to draw up "Exercises" which are still
practiced today. These
exercises of "exterior piety to Mary" were promised "to open heaven’s
doors". They consisted of "...giving Mary morning and evening
salutations, frequently charging
the angels to greet her, expressing the desire to build her more
churches that all those built by monarchs put together; carrying day and
night a rosary as a bracelet,
an image of Mary, etc ...THESE PRACTICES ARE ENOUGH TO ASSURE OUR
SALVATION and if the devil, when we are about to die, makes claims on
our souls, we just have to remind him that Mary is responsible for us
and he must sort things out with her" ("The Secret History of the
Jesuits", Paris, 61).
(Emphasis mine)
These practices were taught to all Catholic children. But the more
extreme actions such as described by "Father" Pemble in the following
quote were left to the "holy"
men and women who supposedly had reached a perfection we could scarcely
hope to attain.
"To beat or flagellate ourselves, and offer each blow as a sacrifice to
God through Mary, to carve with a knife the holy name of Mary on our
chest: to cover
ourselves decently at night so as not to offend the chaste gaze of Mary;
to tell the Virgin you would be willing to offer her your place in
heaven if she didn’t have her
own; to wish you had never been born or go to hell if Mary had not been
born; to never eat an apple, as Mary had been kept from the mistake of
tasting of it" ("The
Secret History of the Jesuits", Paris, 61).
These degenerate "exercises" and forms of worship were cultivated into
licentious and sensual expressions in many Jesuits, some of which are
too obscene to
mention. One hymn dedicated to the Virgin by Jesuit Jacques Pontanus
stated: "...He [Jacques] knew of nothing more beautiful than Mary’s
breasts, nothing sweeter
than her milk and nothing more delightful than her abdomen" ("The Secret
History of the Jesuits", Paris, 60).
It’s important to understand that the people behind the education had
indeed "saturated" themselves with mysticism and so could more
effectively pollute the children
they were teaching. Many of the Jesuits experienced mystical visions
such as Rodrigue de Gois, who: "...was so enraptured with her [Mary’s]
inexpressible beauty
that he was seen soaring into the air. A novice of this Order, who died
in Rome in 1581, was sustained by the Virgin in his fight against the
devil’s temptations; to
strengthen him, she gave him a taste of her Son’s blood from time to
time and ‘the comfort of her breasts’ " ("The Secret History of the
Jesuits", Paris, 60).
Not only are Catholic children taught Mary worship on a regular basis,
but in every subject Catholic propaganda is used to better indoctrinate
them, making it even
more difficult to escape her bonds. The following paragraph was quoted
in a recent concurring opinion by Justices Douglas, Black and Marshall
as the Supreme
court of the United States, in two cases, June 28, 1971, held by
decisions of 8 to 0 and 8 to 1, that State aid to parochial and private
schools was unconstitutional.
"In the parochial schools Roman Catholic indoctrination is included in
every subject. History, literature, geography, civics, and science are
given a Roman Catholic
slant. The whole education of the child is filled with propaganda. That,
of course, is the very purpose of such schools, the very reason for
going to all the work and
expense of maintaining a dual school system. Their purpose is not so
much to educate, but indoctrinate and train, not to teach Scripture
truths and Americanism, but
to make loyal Roman Catholics. The children are regimented, and are told
what to wear, what to do, and what to think."
As a quick example of this "Catholic slant" let me quote from
Christianity in America, "The Catholic Social Studies Series", by Rev.
Charles J. Mahoney,
Ph.D., on page 220, under the title "The Roots of Frontier Democracy":
"This [Democracy] was not a new doctrine; it had been developed in
classic form in the
Middle Ages by men like St. Thomas Aquinas...The true parents of
democracy are the medieval Scholastic philosopher and the American farmer."
This is a blatant lie. Thomas Aquinas never taught democracy -- quite
the opposite. He believed that anyone who went against the teachings of
Rome should be
killed...that doesn’t sound democratic to me. The Church of Rome is
totalitarian and blatantly anti-democratic. Just re-read Pope Pius IX’s
Syllabus of Errors, which
is still binding on all Catholics! One view held by our American
government and condemned by Pope Pius IX is that: "Every man is free to
embrace and profess
that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider
true."
It is obvious that Catholic children are hearing a corrupt and twisted
history. The struggle of Protestantism to be free from the chains of
tyranny that Rome tried to
enslave all humanity under is lost in the retelling in Catholic books.
Why tell the truth, as it would shed light on their abominations and
atrocities? They were known as
the "Home of Forgeries" for seven centuries by the Greeks. "These
forgeries made it seem that his [Pope Gregory VII] absolutist claims
were based on ancient
records zealously kept in the Rome archives. Whenever they [Greeks]
tried talking with Rome, the popes brought out forged documents, even
papal additions to
Council documents, which the Greeks, naturally, had never seen...Many
earlier documents were touched up to make them say the opposite of what
they said
originally" ("Vicars of Christ: The Dark Side of the Papacy", Peter De
Rosa, 58-59).
If unbiased history were taught, Rome would be exposed as a fraud;
therefore she continues to deceive her students with false information,
and works zealously to
get public funding for this deception.
A most interesting observation is made by Loraine Boettner in his book,
"Roman Catholicism":
"Most of the teaching in the parochial schools is done by the nuns. They
teach the children to revere and worship the Virgin Mary and to trust in
images and rosaries
whether they know anything about faith in Christ or not. All nuns are
under solemn vows to promote their religion in every course they teach.
They work, year in and
year out, without receiving anything more than their board and keep, and
without the personal freedom that every American has the right to enjoy.
They are kept in
abject poverty, while money flows freely to the priests, bishops, and
especially to the Vatican in Rome" (360-361).
It is the heart of Jesuitism to cause all to come under subjection to
the Pope; therefore it is to the hierarchy’s advantage to have their
servants teaching the children to
become servants like themselves. I know. I wanted to be a nun throughout
all my grade school years. Using this kind of mental seduction has
caused many young
men and women to enter the convent or priesthood only to find themselves
ridden with guilt for daring to think for themselves and many end up
committing suicide. A
friend’s sister came home from the convent during the holidays and shot
herself. Few knew why.
Many fellow Christians will find it hard to witness to a Catholic
because all Catholics were "saturated by mysticism" using the same
techniques Hitler used on his
youth and on his SS. Yes, it was Jesuit techniques that Hitler so
admired, "...Ecclesiasticism without Christianity, the discipline of a
monastic rule, not for God’s sake
or in order to achieve personal salvation but for the sake of the State
and for the greater glory and power of the demagogue turned leader -
this was the goal for
which the systematic moving of the masses was to lead" ("Brave New World
Revisited", Huxley, 44-45).
As Hermann Rauschning in 1939 wrote: "Hitler has a deep respect for the
Catholic church and the Jesuit order; not because of their Christian
doctrine, but because
of the ‘machinery’ they have elaborated and controlled, their
hierarchical system, their extremely clever tactics, their knowledge of
human nature and their wise use of
human weaknesses in ruling over believers."
These same techniques are used on Democratic children in America to this
day! How well our early Founding Fathers of America discerned the
dangers of the
Jesuits. John Adams, as early as 1816 wrote to his successor Thomas
Jefferson: "I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits ...Shall we
not have regular swarms of
them here, in as many disguises as only a king of the gypsies can
assume, dressed as printers, publishers, writers and schoolmasters? If
ever there was a body of men
who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society
of Loyola’s. Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious
toleration to offer them
an asylum...." ("The Power and Secret of the Jesuits", Rene
Fulop-Miller, 390)
Thomas Jefferson replied to his predecessor: "Like you, I disapprove of
the restoration of the Jesuits, for it means a step backward from light
into darkness...."
("The Power and Secret of the Jesuits", Rene Fulop-Miller, 390)
And darkness it is. A Catholic parent is pressured to send his/her
children to the Catholic school.
"Canon Law 1374 denies freedom of choice to Roman Catholic parents in
regards to schools, and say that they must send their children to
parochial school under
pain of mortal sin unless excused from doing so by the bishop" ("Roman
Catholicism", Boettner, 358) (Emphasis mine).
In "Roman Catholicism", pages 358-359, Boettner points out that parents
have no choice, no rights at all as regards teachers, texts, or methods
of instruction by
Catholic Canon Law 1381:
1."In all schools the religious training of the young is subject to the
authority and inspection of the Catholic Church" (i.e., the priest or
bishop).
2."It is the right and duty of the Bishops to take care that nothing is
taught or done against the Faith or sound morals in any school in their
territory."
3."The Bishops have also the right to approve the teachers of religion
and the textbooks and further to require that texts be dropped or
teachers removed, when
the good of religion or morality demands this action."
We entered Catholic school at the request of the priest, who said it was
bad enough that we were living in a God-forsaken town ( Greentown was
primarily
Protestant). "The fact is that the parochial school has been promoted
primarily by the priests and bishops as a means of keeping the children
of their church separate
from Protestant children and from public school influences during their
formative years, the better to indoctrinate and control them" ("Roman
Catholicism",
Boettner, 359).
In all the Jesuit’s methods of control to form our minds in complete
obedience to Rome, they have only one thing to fear -- the Word of God.
That’s why they have
worked overtime putting out "new and better" versions. They know from
experience of history that the "...word of God is quick, and powerful,
and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart."
(Heb.4:12)
From the moment that Jesus circumcised my heart (Deut.30:6) to hear His
Word, the control Catholicism had over me diminished, until it
eventually lost all holds. I
have escaped Rome, but left behind me are millions like me who were
given a Jesuit foundation. If you wish to witness to a Catholic, be
prepared for a struggle, for
we are in a war, a spiritual war. "For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Eph.6:12)
These high places are not only the Vatican and her Jesuit army, but also
any denomination that has broken with her, yet still retains any of her
blasphemous doctrines
or practices. Yes, they have their army and use education and
indoctrination against our youth, turning church and school into a
battleground. Our strength lies in the
knowledge that the "...battle is the Lord’s...."(I Sam.17:47) and that
it is "...not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord
of Hosts." (Zech.4:6)
"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined
in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Jesus
Christ." (2 Cor.4:6)
Apparitions of the Virgin Mary
What about the many recent apparitions of Mary, Jesus' mother? Because
the frequent apparitions of Mary
are accompanied with beautiful moral instruction from her lips many have
come to cherish the belief that
Mary has a unique role as co-mediator with Christ, and was specially
resurrected for this purpose. On the
surface it seems indecent to discredit visions and apparitions of Mary.
But the Bible clearly exposes these
appearances as impostures.
(1) Scripture states that the dead know nothing Eccl. 9:5, 6.
(2) Mary was a godly woman but not a divine innately sinless person.
Recognizing that she herself needed
redemption, she referred to God as her Savior. Luke 1:46, 47.
(3) Not a single text in the Bible remotely hints that Mary co-mediates
with Christ. There is only "one God and
one Mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ." 1 Tim. 2:5, 6.
(4) Angels and Apostles refused worship. Acts 10:25, 26; 14:12-16; Rev.
19:10; 22:8, 9.
Mary sleeps in her grave until Christ returns, but if she were alive,
she would utterly repudiate all worship
and prayers offered to her. Prayers to the "saints" are also
unacceptable for the same reason. See Gal. 1:8,
9; 2 Cor. 11:13, 15. It suits Satan's purpose very well to impersonate
religious figures. Thus he can readily
deceive multitudes.
