Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jesuits: Their Origin and Order, Morality and Practices, Suppression and Restoration The Origin and Rise of the Jesuits. In 1521, Don Inigo Lopez de Ricalde, the youngest son of the noble house of Loyola, was severely wounded in both legs in the defence of Pampeluna against the French. Fired with the spirit of ancient chivalry, he had panted after knightly honours and renown. Excited by the vivid pictures of legendary romance, his mind was filled with airy dreams of hazardous adventure and feats of daring valour. - "Races and games, Or titling furniture, emblazoned shields, Impresses quaint, caparisons and steeds, Bases and tinsel trappings, gorgeous knights At joust and tournament." But stretched on a bed of languishment, with shattered limbs, and little hope of their perfect recovery, how are these gorgeous phantasms to be grasped and realized? To these, alas! he must now bid farewell - farewell for ever. Does he then return to a calm composure of mind, resolved to content himself with the sober realities of life? No. Racked by disappointment and agitated by suffering, as he lay doomed to listless and pining inactivity on his couch, he happened to have had put into his hands a volume of the Lives of the Saints; whether by accident or design history telleth not. But, be that as it may, the effect on his excitable and chivalrous spirit was, in its instantaneousness and power, almost magical. The perusal of that work suddenly changed the entire current of his soul. "Behold," says his biographer, Vieyra, "behold the importance of reading good books! If it had been a book of knight errantry, Ignacio would have become a great knight errant; it was the Lives of the Saints and Ignacio became a great saint. If he had read about knights, he might have proved a knight of the burning sword; he read about saints, and proved a saint of the burning torch." From that hour the chivalry of romance and worldly adventure is wholly and for ever abandoned for the chivalry of spiritual crusade and "fantastic asceticism." As ordinary knights were wont to "devote themselves and consecrate the valour of their arms to their lady love," he "hung up arms and armour before an image of the Virgin," determined to become "knight of the Virgin Mary." As other spiritual knight-errants had earned for themselves immortal renown by their self-imposed penaces, he resolves to outstrip all his predecessors in austerity and self-denial. Accordingly, casting aside his knightly dress, and arraying himself in a hermit's homely garb, he withdraws from the abodes of luxurious refinement and the endearments of social intercourse. In cells and lonely caverns he enters on a course of the severest mortification, letting his hair and nails grow like those of the doomed and fated Nebuchadnezzar, maintaining midnight vigils - remaining seven hours daily on his bare knees - often fasting for days together, and one occasion from Sabbath to Sabbath - scourging himself regularly thrice a-day, and causing the gloomy cloisters to resound with the sighs and groans of heartfelt agony.

Download or read book Mystery Babylon written by Jonathan Malone and published by Jonathan Malone. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mystery, Babylon the Great” is a towering, monstrous figure in the book of Revelation. Obviously, she is symbolic, but what does she represent? What system, agency, institution, nation, or religion best qualifies for the role? Author Jonathan Malone reexamines the possibility that the Protestants may have been correct. Have their prophecies come to pass? Modern Catholicism is a curious mixture of ultramontanism and casuistry. These are Jesuit calling cards. Modern Catholicism has become Jesuitism, and Jesuits have been very influential in Western civilization. In order to determine if their character is aligned with Mystery Babylon, we trace the roots of Jesuitism. How has the spirit, the tenacious philosophy, of the Jesuits, expressed itself in the past? How now and in the future?
