If You Were a Jesuit....

Yes John, but much more, he was repeating the same history told in countless Protestant & even Roman Catholic books over the centuries.

Which Roman Catholic books would you be talking about? Books, and page numbers please.

I speak of those books published with or without Vatican approval which unabashedly declare her real doctrines and aims. John's example of Malachi Martin's works is a good start, but it reaches far back. For example The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1930) by Rev. Peter Geiermann which admits the Roman Church's change from Saturday to Sunday (p. 50) - and reprinted by an SDA publisher. This is merely a start. The bulk of course are Protestant books which speak more plainly.

Did you check the references posted earlier at your request Overaged? If you're just trolling please own up.

I thought we were talking about history of the Jesuits?

Any one with song writing ability....I hear a song ever time I see the thread title...'If I were a Jesuit'....sung to the tune of 'If I were a rich man', from Fiddler on the Roof!!

Good point. I meant the soundness of Rivera's story describing the aims of the papacy, including the role of the Jesuits - the pointy end of that assault. From memory it's all Protestant or former Jesuit writers.

Please, continue with your song idea! Post the result here or on one of the music forums.

If I were a Jesuit, I would have no interest in the SDA Church.  It would not be important enough for me to consider.  My attention would be focused on much more important issues.

Yes, I have known a Jesuit priest.

[Theophilus]

I was educated by Jesuits.
