Letter From A former Catholic
Pastor Dale Morgan
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. Pauls 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 Loyolas 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 Sees 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 Paraguays 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 ones 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
childrens
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 heavens
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 didnt 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 Marys
breasts,
nothing sweeter
than her milk and nothing more delightful than her abdomen" ("The
Secret
History of the Jesuits", Paris, 60).
Its 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 [Marys]
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 devils temptations; to
strengthen him, she gave him a taste of her Sons 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 doesnt sound democratic to me. The Church of Rome is
totalitarian and blatantly anti-democratic. Just re-read Pope Pius IXs
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 hierarchys 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
friends 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 Gods 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 Loyolas. 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 Jesuits methods of control to form our minds in complete
obedience to Rome, they have only one thing to fear -- the Word of God.
Thats 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 Lords...."(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.
