Would that the Jesuits had remained permanently suppressed.
Chardin was one of the biggest enemies of the faith ever, and then you had the Jesuits promoting neo-Pelagianism and religious indifferentism. Even Adam Weishaupt was Jesuit-trained.
After his novitiate in the Society of Jesus, Bergoglio officially became a
Jesuit on 12 March 1960, when he made the religious profession of the initial, perpetual vows of poverty, chastity and obedience of a member of the order. Now he is Pope.
It seems the jesuits were/are the intellectuals of the priesthood.
Intelligence, the extent or ability of one’s reasoning, while a great gift from God comes with a high price tag, especially when engaging in matters challenging traditional Catholic metaphysics, theology, and even dogma. St Augustine once affirmed: ‘If there were no pride, there would be no heresy.’ In 2015, an exorcist in Barcelona said of all the sins preferred by Satan, pride was the greatest. We all want to be clever, and the cleverer the better; fallen man revels in ‘vainglory in one’s own reasoning’ as Galileo boasted. Such a talent produces an interior, personal and social satisfaction that is irresistible to those that have it. It can bring honour, glory, respect, advantage, reward, and fame to some who excel in any given field of knowledge. Francis Bacon understood this very well when he recognised that ‘knowledge is power.’ Yes, conforming and contributing to a consensus can be a path to success among one’s peers. But the temptations involved here are enormous, for intelligence can also be the source of pride. The great intellectual saints such as Augustine, Aquinas and Bellarmine all knew that intellectual pride is an area that Satan has not neglected, refused accolades and honours, preferring instead to embrace humility and exalt divine authority and teaching above mere human reasoning. Ever see Pope Francis enjoy the adoration and other Vatican II popes get when they parade in their especially built vehicals in front of the flock whose faith they have destroyed?
