Description:Both John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald were said in their turn to have been tools of the Jesuits, but the most preposterous accusation that I have encountered was made by a certain Edmond Paris in his book The Secret History of the Jesuits, namely that Mein Kampf was written not by Adolf Hitler but by the a Jesuits by the name of Stampfle. Mr. Paris does ar least make one thing very clear - that he himself never actually got around to reading Herr Hitler's impenetrable masterwork. But behind such lurid and ridiculous accusations as these lurk the more conventional image of the sinister, scheming Jesuit that has been instantly conjured up by such phrases as "faithful unto death", "fantastically loyal to the Pope", and most sinister of all "the ends justify the means". How much truth is there, if any, to this four-hundred-year-old stereotype? Were the activities of the Jesuits a spur of a hindrance to the spiritual awakening both within the Church an outside of it? How much influence did the Order actually have on European political life? This book will try to provide answers to these purely historical questions, and also to examine the situation of the Order in the world of today and its prospects for the future.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
