Synopsis
Excerpt from Dr. Berg's Lecture on the Jesuits: A Lecture Delivered in the Musical Fund Hall, on Monday Evening, December 23d, 1850, on the Jesuits
If the Scriptural text, By their fruits ye shall know them, be as faithful a test as all men of sound heart and mind hold it to be, then are the whole mechanism, and nature, and operation of the practical influence of Jesuitism, world-confessed abominations. The per sonal history of Loyola is a confirmation of the maxim that truth is even stranger than fiction; that the realities of history may at times be more wonderful than the vagaries of man. In the present instance, however, it must be admitted that'the sources of our information are not of the most reliable character. The biographers of Loyola are generally persons more or less tinged with the cold fanaticism which he instituted, as their prin ples allow them a large margin in which to embellish their narrative; and the candid inquirer will be fre quently constrained to pause, and doubt, and say with the Roman, credit Judas.

Dr. Berg's Lecture on the Jesuits (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This text is an excerpt from a book that, having been published before 1874 (the date of the US Copyright Act) is now public domain. The book, written by an anonymous author, contains a critical examination of the history and practices of the Jesuit Order of the Catholic Church, a powerful organization which had been both highly influential and controversial since its founding in the 16th Century. The book is especially concerned with the Jesuits' dedication to Roman supremacy and the means by which they sought to achieve their goals, often with an alarming disregard for ethical and moral behavior. The author examines the Jesuits' claim that the ends justify the means and points to a long history of harm that has come to those who opposed the interests of the Order, leading to their suppression in various countries and their continued exile from others. The author exposes many of the hypocrisies inherent in the Jesuits' doctrines, their professed humility contradicted by often ostentatious displays of wealth and their insistence on adherents surrendering to the will of the Pope even in matters of morality. This book will appeal both to those interested in the historical and ongoing power struggles within the Catholic Church and to those concerned with the dangers of unchecked ecclesiastical power.
