This historical sketch, drawing from various sources including "Secreta Monita," purports to expose the clandestine strategies and true objectives of the Jesuit order. It outlines the Society's founding by Ignatius Loyola, emphasizing its unique fourth vow of absolute subservience to the Pope, which distinguished it from other monastic orders and made it a powerful instrument against the Reformation. The text details how the Jesuits allegedly operated with deceptive practices and moral laxity, infiltrating various levels of society—from royal courts to educational institutions—often under false pretenses to gain influence and wealth for the Roman Catholic Church. A central theme is the existence of "Secret Instructions" known only to the highest echelons, enabling them to deny their manipulative tactics while ordinary members remained ignorant, thus maintaining an outward appearance of piety. The document recounts the widespread condemnation and banishment of the Jesuits by numerous European nations due to their perceived threat to civil society and moral order, before noting their eventual restoration by Pope Pius VII. The source concludes by highlighting the alleged continued efforts of the Jesuits to undermine liberties, corrupt religion, and sow dissension through their pervasive and often hidden operations.
