They can even tell you whom they secretly revere.

Births, baptisms, marriages, funerals — often those who show no outward reverence for Roman Catholicism betray themselves with these events.

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.  And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.  He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.  And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs… ~ Revelation 13:11-14

America is that second Beast of Revelation 13 that speaks as if Christian but secretly serves the Satanic whims of Rome.

Everywhere the United States military has gone, Christians suffer—like victims crushed beneath a Crusader’s sword.¹

Occasionally, this is allowed to sneak out like when Jesuit-trained speech-writers (such as Georgetown alum Michael Gerson—who now, like pedophile John Podesta, writes for the Washington Post) tell President Skull and Bones George Bush² to call the criminal “Global War on Terror” a “Crusade” ³.

The Bushs are supposedly “Protestant” and “Christian”, yet, the truth sneaks out on occasion, like when George Herbert Walker (the “W” in both Skull and Bones Presidents’ names) was sent from Roman Catholic-controlled Chicago all the way to Stonyhurst boarding school in England to live with and be trained by Jesuits.  —Or when John Ellis “JEB” Bush converted to Roman Catholicism and became a Knight of Columbus.

The Bushs (both Skull and Bones Presidents) were on hand for the funeral and internment of “His Eminence” John Cardinal O’Connor on May 9^th, 2000.

In keeping with “Christian” tradition⁴, O’Connor’s body was entombed deep in the bowels of St. Patrick’s Cathedral where he will join the likes of Pierre Toussaint and his wife Juliette.  Toussaint was a freed slave (no thanks to the Vatican fomenting constant racial hatred or murdering abolitionists like Abraham Lincoln) and, of course, a devout Roman Catholic.  They lie along side Francis Cardinal Spellman, Terence Cardinal Cooke and, of course, the master of theater and oratory, Cardinal Fulton J. Sheen.

No expense was spared.  Americans and New Yorkers were happy to foot the bill for their masters (even if they didn’t know that’s what they were doing).

…a procession of more than 2,000 deacons, priests, bishops, nuns and cardinals marched down the central aisle of the cathedral at 1:30 p.m., passing alongside the cardinal’s mahogany coffin…

Twenty-five Red Cross workers handed out lemonade and water.  Police officers sweltered in their formal uniforms: long-sleeved shirts, ties and woolen jackets. …

From Rome came Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the Vatican’s secretary of state, who led the Mass of Christian Burial. ~ The New York Times

In a true show of Mafioso strength, mega-criminal Bernard Cardinal Law gave the “homily”.  Law was personally responsible for shuffling dozens of pedophile priests around the Archdiocese of Boston, Massachusetts and beyond to insure that they had decades full of raping little girls and boys free of interference from any authority.

When the heat finally rose up enough to make Law a little uncomfortable, he absconded to Rome where he was rewarded with a posh “Job well done!” retirement.  The sentiment was reinforced with Jesuit Pope Francis when he gave a special blessing at Law’s recent funeral last December.

A star-studded cast of American Elite participated in John Cardinal O’Connor’s funeral Mass…including quite a few “non-Catholics”.

It is the severest of “sins” for non-Catholics to take “Holy Communion”.  Much was made of sitting “Protestant” President Bill Clinton taking Communion in 1998.  Of course, no one bothered to suggest that Clinton was well within his rites (pardon the pun) as a Catholic to take Communion, whether he was branded as a “Baptist” or any other flavor.

For instance, it was the Kennedy’s personal Jesuit, hippie Father Richard McSorely, who gave him his guided tour of Communist East Europe right through to Moscow (the Washington Post admits the connection but called it a “chance meeting”).

Through the years, Jesuit radical Leftist Father McSorely has been there for “Baptist” Bill Clinton, the illegitimate child of promise to Winthrop Rockefeller.

“Baptist” Bill Clinton, like so many of America’s Elite, was openly instructed by the Jesuits at the Georgetown Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service where he famously met the great Professor Carroll Quigley and they got along famously.

Even further back, Bill Clinton’s illegitimate biological father, bisexual Arkansas Governor Winthrop Rockefeller arranged for him to quickly meet doomed President Jack Kennedy just a few months before Pope John XXIII’s CIA blew his brains out in Dallas.

Among the dignitaries attending the invitation-only funeral were President Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who sat beside Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper Gore.  Behind the President sat Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, the first lady’s rival for the United States Senate seat being vacated by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who was also present.  Mrs. Clinton shook hands with Mayor Giuliani during the “kiss of peace” that is part of the Catholic Mass.  On the other side of the coffin, alongside Cardinal O’Connor’s family, sat former President George Bush, who was a friend of the cardinal’s.  Elsewhere in the audience sat Mr. Bush’s son, George W. Bush, with his wife, Laura. ~ The New York Times

Now remember, this is 6 months before George Skull and Bones Bush ’68 joined his daddy George Skull and Bones ’48 to become President, yet “Episcopalian” Dubya knew which ring to kiss (he had been Governor of Texas for five years previously).

Particularly stirring was the vigor with which the “Baptist” and “Methodist” Clintons sang during Mass.  They put good Catholics like Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki to shame (so did the “Protestant” Gores, for that matter).

You’ll notice that the only picture available is one already owned by the Jesuit-trained Italian Getty family.  It’s a favorite tactic.

Only a year later, the Catholic cross-dressing Mayor of New York City would preside over the treason that was 9/11 and cover it up just like he did the raping of soldier’s children at West Point.⁵

Of course the Times had to give the obligatory reference to what a “champion” O’Connor was for the unborn by how he “chastised” his powerful Leftist minions for their support of the altars of Baal.

…he assailed Catholic politicians, like Gov. Mario M. Cuomo and Geraldine A. Ferraro, who he felt strayed from those views. ~ The New York Times

Nothing like a good “assailing” to shake up a powerful far-Left Catholic like the Cuomos (another father and son Ruling Elite team), Geraldine Ferraro, Barbara Mikulski, Joe Biden, Teddy Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Tip O’Neill, John Murtha, on and on goes the list of Leftist Catholics all in good standing (past and present) “despite” their radical far-Left legislative crimes.

The Catholic Church has owned Ireland for as long as she has been a colony of England yet, she, too, has opened the floodgates of infant blood.

Speaking of funerals, the 2009 interning of Edward Kennedy was even more “star-studded”.  The Boston Globe listed all those who came to kiss the ring that Teddy owed for his free ride after murdering Mary Jo Kopechne ⁶ in sexual perversion and having it blamed on a farcical “car accident”.

List of "Notables" for Teddy's funeral

If it looks like President Obama was disrespectfully asleep, don’t worry, he wasn’t.  He knew who put him in office; the same Jesuits like Greg Galluzzo who trained him to be a radical Leftist “community organizer”.

—And when Rome told Obama to kiss the ring while in office, he dutifully did so.  What other university than Notre Dame could get a sitting President to give a commencement speech?

Why not?  If the United States government can give Notre Dame President Father Teddy Hesburgh a ride in an SR-71,⁷ then they can “borrow” their President shortly after he was “elected” in 2009.

Don’t worry, President Obama was then given an “honorary degree” in return.  It must’ve thrown him back to his days at Santo Fransiskus Asisi when he was living in Indonesia helping his mother with her CIA work.

And as I’ve told you may times before, there’s a good reason why both the “Society of Jesus” and the CIA are known as “the Company”.  It’s where “Catholics thrive”.

Few things prove the corruption and control of “elected office” better than “elected officials” who spend half a century in their seat then turn it over to a family relation (usually an offspring).

With so many examples one would think the citizenry would be on the verge of total rebellion by now.

One of the most recognizable examples are George Herbert Walker Bush and his son George Walker Bush.

Grand-daddy Prescott Bush helped bankroll the Third Reich.  Wishing to give Americans a “choice” from the entrenched Communism of Franklin Roosevelt, Prescott attempted a fascist military coup.  Unfortunately for him, he chose one of the few honest men ever to make General-grade but fortunately for him, his treason was swept under the carpet by his friends.

George H.W. Bush was appointed by Warren Commission member Gerald Ford during his presidency to become the 11^th Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.  After attacking California Governor Ronald Reagan for promoting “Voodoo Economics” the two would join together to become President and Vice President in 1980.  Just over 60 days later, Reagan was shot and almost killed by a Bush family friend.

Not that it mattered, a little over 7 years later, Bush would become the 41^st President of the United States.

He would turn his office over to his friend, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton.  Clinton is likely the bastard son of bisexual Governor of New York, Winthrop Rockefeller.  He would be trained by Jesuit professors like Carroll Quigley and Communist Jesuit “community activists” like Father Richard McSorley, S.J.

Both men would ride into the Father Andrew White House on a mountain of cocaine provided by the Central Intelligence Agency.

H.W. is Yale Skull and Bones ’48.

W. is Yale Skull and Bones ’68.

In 2004, W. “campaigned” against Vietnam war hero John Forbes Kerry, Roman Catholic and Yale Skull and Bones ’66.

Both Skull and Bones President George Bush #41 and Skull and Bones President George Bush #43 got their middle names from their maternal patriarch, George Herbert “Bert” Walker; a silver-spoon blue-blooded, Jesuit-trained Roman Catholic.

The youngest of their eight sons, David Davis Walker (1840–1918), moved to St. Louis where he made his fortune as a dry goods wholesaler.  In the Midwest, David Walker maintained the Southern attitude about race, though with a contemporary overlay of social Darwinism.  He was a believer in eugenics and the “unwritten law” of lynching.  In a letter to the editor of the St. Louis Republic published in 1914, David Walker described Negroes as a greater menace than prostitution and “all the other evils combined.”

David Walker’s son George Herbert Walker, born in St. Louis in 1875, was raised like a Midwestern prince.  Bert Walker, as he was known, had both a nurse and his own valet.  In the summer, the family would travel by private train car to the coast of Maine.  The valet went with Bert to Stonyhurst, the Jesuit boarding school in England, where his mother sent him, out of concern that Catholic education in St. Louis was too dominated by ill-bred German immigrants. ~ The New York Times

Although the Bushs are supposedly Protestants, John Ellis “JEB” Bush, (son of President George Herbert Walker Bush, brother of President George Walker Bush and former Governor of the State of Florida—not that the Bushes have any tenure there, none is needed to rule) is more open with his Roman Catholicism and membership in the Knights of Columbus.

The Bushs do hail from Connecticut where another Roman Catholic family of corruption and treason have ruled generationally.

Joe McCarthy was trained up by the Jesuits at Marquette—the same location where another 2016 Republican presidential candidate, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was trained.  They’re brother alumni include comedian Chris Farley who died at the magick Luciferian age of 33.  Speaking of untimely deaths, reporter James Wright Foley who was supposedly beheaded by “ISIS” was also trained by the Jesuits at Marquette.  It’s probably only a coincidence that Foley was working for “USAID”, a “non-governmental organization” (NGO) thought by independent journalists to be nothing more than a front for CIA operations.

A mass was given at Marquette for James, though whether he attended is up for speculation.

Marquette is actually quite proud of Joseph McCarthy, maybe that’s why Ann Coulter is a fan, too:

McCarthyism: The Rosetta Stone of Liberal Lies

When I wrote a ferocious defense of Sen. Joe McCarthy in Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, liberals chose not to argue with me.  Instead they posted a scrolling series of reasons not to read my book, such as that I wear short skirts, date boys, and that “Treason” was not a scholarly tome.

After printing rabidly venomous accounts of McCarthy for half a century based on zero research, liberals would only accept research presenting an alternative view of McCarthy that included, as the Los Angeles Times put it, at least the “pretense of scholarly throat-clearing and objectivity.”

This week, they got it.  The great M. Stanton Evans has finally released Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies.

I wouldn’t be too quick to brag about “M. Stanton Evans” coming to my rescue as “M. Stanton’s” father, Medford Evans, was a member of the John Birch Society.  The “Birchers” are also controlled opposition who do a truly remarkable job of nailing down subversive Communists while giving complete absolution to any Catholic involvement, perhaps because Freemasonic founder Robert Welch showed who he answered to by converting to Catholicism on his deathbed.

What, Masons can’t be Catholic?  My book will tell you otherwise as the list includes names that run from Pierre Charles L’Enfant to John Wilkes Booth.

Why would Ann Coulter be such a passionate defender of Joe McCarthy?  —Because her father was a devout Catholic and famed FBI Communist fighter.

It’s interesting that John Vincent Coulter shared the same resumé as a man on the other side of the supposed political spectrum‑Connecticut Senator Thomas J. Dodd.  Dodd was also at Nuremburg.  The devout Catholic liked the Nazis so much, he used the 1938 Nazi Gun Control Act to fashion his 1968 Gun Control Act.

The Dodd’s are yet another Ruling Elite family who have been destroying America for decades on behalf of their papal masters.

Son Christopher Dodd took up where Senator Thomas Dodd left off as a Connecticut Congressman and Senator eventually creating MASSIVE debt and disaster via government real estate hand-outs at Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac.

Christopher Dodd went to Georgetown Prep was instrumental in helping brother Thomas Dodd, Jr.—a professor at Georgetown—become a United States ambassador. ~ Ann Coulter’s Jesuit Problem, Johnny Cirucci, Johnny Cirucci.com

Even the name “America” (whether of the nation or the continents) comes from Rome; specifically from explorer Amerigo Vespucci.  The loyal Catholic received his education from his uncle Giorgio, a Dominican monk.  Before the Jesuits existed, the Dominicans were Rome’s shock-troops from indulgences to the Inquisition.  In fact, it was a Dominican peddling indulgences that spurred Augustinian monk Martin Luther towards his Protest (Father Johann Tetzel).

The reach of Rome over her vassal “America” extends from Connecticut to Alaska.

Alaska is a surprising stronghold of Papal control in America with highly-publicized figures like former Governor Sarah Palin being baptized and raised Roman Catholic (although this information has been expunged from all sites—even Jesuit James Martin’s sources are now gone).  The state continues to be controlled by aristocratic Jesuit-trained Catholic elites like the Murkowskis—and when upstarts like Frank Miller attempt to interrupt the handing of daddy Frank Murkowski’s Senate seat to daughter Lisa, we just go ahead and take it from him (by hook or by crook).  Examples abound of hard-Left and faux-Right Papal families ruling off and on for generations in America from the Dodds in Connecticut to the Cuomos in New York.  If they live long enough they simply get recycled like California’s current re-Governor, Jerry Moonbeam Brown, a trained Jesuit priest. ~ SHOCKER! Indicators Show Ft. Lauderdale Airport Shooting Yet Another False Flag, Johnny Cirucci, Johnny Cirucci.com

In fact, Francis Hughes “Frank” Murkowski was educated in two Jesuit colleges, the public-sounding University of Seattle and Santa Clara University.

Santa Clara alumni in powerful positions include former Governor of Arizona, former Secretary of “Homeland Security” Janet Napolitano, former and current Governor of California (and Jesuit seminarian) Jerry Brown, former Chief Financial Officer of Apple and current Goldman Sachs Board of Directors member Peter Oppenheimer as well as Leon Panetta.  Panetta was a California Congressman, Chairman of the Office of Management and Budget for Jesuit-trained President Bill Clinton, Secretary of Defense and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The Murkowskis are to Alaska what the Daley’s are to Chicago; generational Catholic ruling Elites.

Francis (named after the co-founder of the Jesuits, Francis Xavier), held power for 40 years from Commissioner of Economic Development to Governor to United States Senator.  When he attempted to give his seat to his daughter Lisa (through an “election”, of course), interloper Joe Miller threatened to intervene.  He beat Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary and should have locked her out of the election but a “write-in” campaign miraculously delivered her daddy’s Senate seat to her.

Daddy’s little Senator was also educated by Jesuits (at Georgetown).

If you factor in brothers and sisters, Rome’s lock is even more complete.

In Pennsylvania, Irish Roman Catholic Michael Fitzpatrick turned his United States Representative seat over to his brother Brian (in an “election”, of course).  Brian is as good a “Republican” as Rome can deliver; he’s betrayed Pennsylvanians on everything from gun rights to healthcare (he has repeatedly voted to preserve the “National Healthcare Act”, a.k.a. “Obamacare”).

On the rare occasion that a Roman agent of insurgency doesn’t receive or hand off their position to a blood relation it matters little thanks to the despicable longevity with which they serve the Papacy.

It is even more outrageous when the agent is a United States Representative serving for 40 years or more, supposedly getting “re-elected” every two years.

Pennsylvania Democrat John Murtha (a far-Left Catholic) spent so much time in office the only power to unseat him was death.

After setting a record as the longest-serving Congress-woman, Mary-land Democrat Barbara Mikulski (a far-Left Catholic) is finally retiring.

This pattern goes well beyond “America” and holds true whether there are “elections” or not.

In fact, the Communist Catholic cabal can sometimes come together as it does for Canada and Cuba.

The Central Intelligence Agency has been owned by Roman operatives since its inception under Knight of Malta and Wall Street lawyer William Donovan.

The CIA had the power and position to blow the brains out of a sitting United States President—

—yet was completely inept when it came to supposed CIA target Fidel Castro.  The government of Great Britain (via “public broadcasting”) ludicrously claimed to have tallied the inept attempts at assassination totaling 638 tries.

As a result, either Fidel or his brother Raúl have ruled over Cuba since 1959.

Fidel was educated at no fewer than three Jesuit institutions and Raúl was a good altar boy.

Fidel has many sons and daughters (as a devoted Catholic should) and one of them may even be the current Prime Minister of Canada.

The 15^th Prime Minister of Canada, Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau, was a devout, Jesuit-trained Roman Catholic.  He was educated by the Jesuits at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf in Montreal.

Trudeau sent his son Justin there but, of course, the Collège had become “non-denominational” by then—not a Jesuit to be found in any classroom, we’re sure.

Justin Trudeau would go on to become Canada’s 23^rd Prime Minister because there were no other candidates qualified in a country of 37 million citizens.

In 2016, Prime Minister Trudeau (Number 23, that is), upon learning of the death of Fidel Castro, eulogized him as a “legendary revolutionary and orator”.  The autocrat’s passing gave the Prime Minister “deep sorrow”.  When questioned as to his admiration for a Communist tyrant, Trudeau doubled-down and reaffirmed his admiration.

But no one should be surprised, the Canadian “democrats” go way back with the Cuban Communists.

Alexandre Trudeau, writing a decade ago, fondly recalled the stature of Fidel Castro within the Trudeau household.

“When Michel was around eight years old, I remember him complaining to my mother that my older brother and I both had more friends than he did,” Alexandre recalled in 2006.  “My mother told him that, unlike us, he had the greatest friend of all: he had Fidel.”

The older brother, of course, was Justin Trudeau.

In his piece for the Toronto Star, Alexandre recalled that Castro “had a special place” among his family’s friends.  There was a picture of him in the Trudeau family home — the Cuban dictator holding Michel, the youngest of Pierre and Margaret’s three boys, in his arms.

It was Castro who gave Michel the lifelong nickname Michel during Pierre and Margaret’s official visit to Cuba in 1976. ~ CBC News

Pierre Trudeau’s wife Margaret was half his age and, apparently, needed much more than he was able to offer.

“Maggie” had a voracious sexual appetite that was fed by many recognizable names of that generation to include actors Ryan O’Neal and Jack Nicholson, rock star Ron Wood, Senator Ted Kennedy, Perrier-water heir Bruce Nevins, and a notorious cocaine dealer.

In his 1991 autobiography “Exposing Myself”, infamous talk show host and “journalist” Geraldo Rivera said of his tryst with Margaret Trudeau, “It was like she had never been made love to before…  It was like she was unleashing years of pent-up frustration.”

Not that Pierre lacked sexual deviancy.  He figures quite prominently in the exposé of Cathy O’Brien, a purported sex slave tortured and used by the Central Intelligence Agency to cater to leaders like Trudeau.

When Pierre Trudeau was elected Prime Minister of Canada in 1968, I often heard it said, “Pierre Trudeau is one of Ours, you know.”  I first heard this phrase cryptically referring to Trudeau’s loyalty to the Vatican when Father Don was discussing him with my famer one Sunday after mass.  This fact circulated quickly among those I knew who were involved in the Catholic/Jesuit aspect of Project Monarch.

The summer after Trudeau was elected, my father took the family to Mackinac Island as usual.  Climbing on a large statue on the grounds of the Governor’s Mansion, I could see across the field to the Grand Hotel.  I noticed Canadian flags flying amongst the American flags that lined the front of the old hotel.  As I slid down off the statue, Guy VanderJagt approached with a drink and a cigarette in his hand.  Palling my hair into place he said, “Straighten your shirt, I’ve got someone important for you to meet,” “I knew someone important was here because of those flags,” I said, tucking my shirt in my pink shorts.

“When I was at the Vatican,” VanderJagt began, “I was told that Prime Minister Trudeau is a friend of the Pope.  He thinks like one of us.  A true Catholic.  He likes Cathy-licks.”

VanderJagt led me upstairs in the mansion, where Pierre Trudeau was lowering the window shades in a dimly lit bedroom crowded with antiques.

VanderJagt closed the door behind me.  Trudeau’s tuxedo coat was neatly draped over a chair, which left him in his formal pants, while shirt, and a bright red cummerbund which caught my eye.  “I like your sash,” I said.

“Hasn’t anyone taught you Silence yet?” His somber, gruff attitude was softened by his smooth, silky voice.

Triggered into the part of me that endured the Rite to Remain Silent, I assumed Trudeau knew all about interdimensions according to my deliberately formed perceptions.  I could not/did not understand that interdimensions actually equated to the inner-dimensions of my own compartmentalized mind.

Likewise, I did not understand that “Keys to the Kingdom” referred to knowing the codes, keys, and triggers to my controlled mind.  “Guy said you like Cathylicks,” I said, repeating what VanderJagt had told me.  “Are you the Keeper of the Keys?”

Trudeau seemingly bore his cold, dark eyes right through me.  “You can learn more from the school of thought than you can by asking precocious questions.  Haven’t you learned that children are to be seen and not heard?”

“Is that a precocious question?” I asked.  “What is a precocious question?”

Trudeau sighed with impatience.  “That is irrelevant.  What matters is that you shut your mouth, still your mind, and enter the school of thought.  Silence is a virtue.  Listen to the silence in the stillness of your mind.  Go deep inside your mind,” he slowly led.  “Deeper and deeper where it’s quiet and still…”

Trudeau expertly manipulated my mind with sophisticated hypnotic language.  Not only did he enlist my Silence for the pedophile perversions he indulged in, but he instructed my “school of thought” in a manner that equated to programming.  He laid a foundation for Air-Water programs that is a mirrordimensional theme often used by NASA and others involved in Project Monarch.  Playing off his own name “Pee-Air,” he added a perverse twist to the theme that he accessed each time 1 was prostituted to him.

Had I been capable of fear, I would have been afraid of Pierre Trudeau.

Trudeau’s slow, deliberate movements masked the brutal power of his body much the way his smooth, soft voice pierced my mind and intruded on my thoughts.  The icey cold touch of his effeminate, manicured long fingers contrasted with the heat of his perversion…  a perversion for which he blamed me and my “temptuous, contemptuous ways”.

In my childish ignorance, I believed Trudeau’s demeanor and forward combed hair were characteristic of his French descent.  “I know all about the French,” I had bragged to my new “Grandpa” Van while visiting his home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

My mother’s father had died shortly before Kennedy was assassinated, and my Grandmother quickly latched onto a wealthy, highly political businessman from Milwaukee.  She met Grandpa Van Vandenburg on the passenger/cargo ship that traveled the waters of the Great Lakes, the Milwaukee Clipper.  The Clipper transported cargo including Cadillacs from Vandenburg Motors to Canada, as well as the drugs sanctioned by the local Coast Guard via the U.S.

Government that my father distributed.  Sometimes 1 accompanied my father to the docks in Muskegon to pick up the drag shipment, which usually involved prostitution.  Jerry Ford and Guy VanderJagt combined business with pleasure in the ship’s casinos on occasion, which is where the connection between my Grandma and Grandpa Van was reportedly made.  Grandpa Van knew Jerry Ford, and subsequently was acquainted with Pierre Trudeau.

“What do you know about the French?” Grandpa Van asked me as I sat on his living room floor petting the dog he just brought home.  Improperly cued and dumfounded by his question I remained silent.  “I know you’ve met Pierre Trudeau,” he prompted.  “I also know you love doggies.  So I bought this dog for your grandma now, so you could enjoy him, too.  His name is Pepe.  He’s a French Poodle,” “I know all about the French.”  I said, mentally comparing the large French Poodle in front of me to Trudeau.  “They have pretty nails…”  I stroked Pepe’s painted toenails.  “They have funny hair…”  I petted Pepe’s clipped fur.  “And they pee a lot,” I giggled.

“You’d better take him outside, then,” Grandpa Van told me, attaching Pepe’s leash.  After walking the dog past what felt like every tree in the neighborhood, I announced that 1 would call him “Pee-pee”.

Uncle Bob filmed Pepe and I pornographically on numerous occasions, producing bestiality films that I would later learn Pierre Trudeau was privy to.

Pepe remained a part of my experience long after Grandpa Van divorced himself from my Grandma, and long after I developed beyond Trudeau’s perversion for little children. ~ Trance Formation of America, Cathy O’Brien, Mark Phillips, Reality Marketing (1995), pp. 91-93 [digital]

Although “Maggie” Trudeau jumped from bed to bed, she found a soul-mate in Fidel Castro whose sexual exploits were so notorious he was nicknamed “The Horse”.

As people began to put the 2 and 2 together and put the two together, the dutiful media lampooned the “bizarre” theories that Fidel was Justin Trudeau’s biological father.

Using physical resemblance for proof (especially in an age where even children can now create any convincing PhotoShop image they like) is not remotely acceptable for journalistic practice but given the facts above, it does raise an eyebrow.

C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien are both very well-known English writers that have been influencing generations with their works.

The two young professors, once members of a literary group in Oxford, have introduced to the public the fantastic worlds of Narnia and Middle-earth.

In fact, they had a renowned friendship that’s allegedly the source of Lewis’s conversion to Christianity.

The work of Tolkein and Lewis is now both classic and mainstream; having been brought to life many times over in animated and feature film versions.

Why are these relatively old stories so popular?

Why do they continue to be the impetus for efforts in the entertainment industry?

Is there a powerful, perhaps even sinister force at work?  How can that be when both men were such “devout Christians”?

Perhaps the answer lies in exactly what kind of “Christians” they were.

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Jesuit Tales

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (aka J.R.R. Tolkien) was an English writer born in South Africa in 1892.

He’s most known by his classic fantasy works such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Although his family was composed mostly of Protestants, Tolkien’s mother Mabel converted to Catholicism following a trip to Birmingham, England, after the death of Tolkien’s father.

This decision caused Mabel’s Protestant and Baptist family to withdraw her financial support.

Such struggles contributed to her death four years later, but not before she had enrolled John and his brother Hilary Arthur Reuel Tolkien into St. Philip’s Grammar School, associated with the Birmingham Oratory.  There, they were acquitted to Father Francis Xavier Morgan, a Roman Catholic priest, who eventually took custody of Ronald and Hilary.  Morgan was named after Francis Xavier, one of the founders of the Jesuits along with Ignatius Loyola and Peter Faber.  The brothers considered the Oratory as their home, serving as Morgan’s altar boys every morning.

These events set Tolkien to be a devout Roman Catholic.

His mother’s martyr-like perseverance in remaining true to her new faith, despite dire poverty, made a deep impression on Tolkien.  As historian Owen Dudley Edwards eloquently observed: “This meant that Tolkien’s Catholicism was fused with his identity at the most basic points of self-awareness. Clichés about the influence of devout mothers do not begin to describe the force of an inheritance like this.”  He and his brother were left in the care of a Roman Catholic priest at the Birmingham Oratory.  Tolkien persuaded his wife to convert before their marriage.  He attended Mass regularly, often daily, all of his life, although he was displeased with the changes to the Mass following Vatican II. ~ The Ring and the Cross: Christianity and the Lord of the Rings by Paul E. Kerry, p.241, 2011.

The main theme of The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) is the quest to destroy Sauron and his evil ring by a fellowship composed of hobbits, humans, dwarfs and elves.  The Hobbit acts as a prequel and, analogously to the LOTR, it’s also centered in the Middle-earth.

Tolkien’s religious views permeated many of his works, as he discusses the Catholic nature of the LOTR in a letter addressed to his friend, Jesuit priest Robert Murray.

“I know exactly what you mean by the order of grace; and of course by your references to Our Lady, upon which all my own small perception of beauty both in majesty and simplicity is founded.  The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision.  I have not put in, or have cut out, practically all references to anything like ‘religion’, to cults and practices in the imaginary world.  For the religious element is absorbed into the story and symbolism.” ~ The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien by J.R.R. Tolkien, p.172, 2000.

Such imagery and metaphor is also seen in the stories of C.S. Lewis.  Tolkien incorporated several occult elements to compose his mythical Middle-earth tales.  Even freemasonic symbolism can be found throughout the stories as is the case with The Doors of Durin portrayed in The Fellowship of the Ring.

However, it is the doctrines of Roman Catholicism that thoroughly permeate this well-known (and well-promoted) fantasy series.

Such religious influences are exemplified in the similarities between the Catholic Mary, “Our Lady”, and character Galadriel, also known as “Lady of the Galadhrim” or “Lady of Light”.

The “conversion” of Gimli a is used to show how “heretics” can be drawn to reconcile with Rome by the power of the ever-virgin “Queen of Heaven.

Gimli is a dwarf that initially viewed the Elves with prejudice.  But upon marveling over Galadriel’s light and grace, he is won over by her.

In the same instance, Galadriel bestowed cloaks of invisibility to hero Hobbits Frodo and Sam as a gift in order to protect them against the sight of unfriendly eyes.  Similarly, there is a Catholic belief that professes one may be “preserved from eternal fire” by using the brown scapular of the Virgin Mary.

There are also some researchers who claim Tolkien believed in distributism (redistribution of wealth and property by force), which is a an economic ideology based on the Catholic social teaching.  The Society of Jesus is the most vocal Catholic order when it comes to “social justice”.

The website Jesuits in Malta features an interview with Dr. Alison Milbank of the University of Nottingham.  According to her, The Hobbit is a story that opposes the dwarves’ selfish desires to accumulate more gold and riches with the altruistic Bilbo, the Hobbit, who decided to share the Arkenstone, the great dwarf ancestral stone, with the men and the elves in order to make peace among them.  She goes on to assert the following:

“…for Tolkien this would have had a political resonance as well, influenced by Catholic social teaching from the early part of the century which was seeking a third way between the extremes of capitalism individualism and socialist denial of the individual.  They sought something called Distributism, where money and goods were to be distributed as widely as possible in society.  And you can see that really underpinning the novel, in a children’s book version.” ~ The Hobbit, an unexpected theological journey by Dr. Alison Milbank.

Robert Lazu, a Romanian Roman Catholic philosopher and theologian, asserted in his paper The Fantastic Secret of Tolkien’s Fairy Tales: Literature and Jesuit Spiritual Exercises that Tolkien might have used Jesuit spiritual exercises while composing his fairy stories.

Although there is no evidence to prove that Tolkien practiced Jesuit spiritual exercises, a few fragments referring to the way in which his fairy stories were conceived entitle us to uphold that their “secret” consisted in the fact that they had been created in a way similar to the practice of “composing the place” from St. Ignatius’s spiritual exercises. …

Tolkien practiced a similar method that involved the visualization of the most minute details of his fantasy world.  Although it is only natural that a writer should picture, as faithfully as possible, the characters and settings of his stories with the help of his own imagination, what Tolkien did clearly separated him from earlier authors: he drew detailed maps and prepared a rigorous chronology of his secondary universe.  In other words, he requested, as no other modern fiction writer had previously done, an increased degree of exactness on the part of the reader with regard to the “structuring” of his fantastic world.  He acted much like a regular Jesuit master in offering spiritual exercises to his disciples. He proposed an imaginary framework meant to help us experience powerful and profound emotions resulting in a commitment of our entire being to pondering the dominant values of Middle-earth.  Yet, there is more to it than meets the eye. …

In my opinion, Tolkien presented the world with singular writings, literary creations that contain truths that cannot and should not be presented as “scientific truths” to the present-day reader.  Once again, we encounter a good use of creative imagination perfectly harmonizing with a sound mind.  Tolkien was not just a “secular” counterpart to St. Ignatius.  On the contrary, he reminds us of the lesson that Aquinas, the “Angelic Doctor,” left to posterity—the harmony between faith and reason.  Tolkien urges us to learn, alongside his characters, how to distinguish between Good and Evil and how to fight unrelentingly to protect what is morally right. ~ Light Beyond All Shadow: Religious Experience in Tolkien’s Work by Paul E. Kerry and Sandra Miesel, p.124, 2011, [emphasis mine].

The Jesuit spiritual exercises integrate the core of what is called Ignatian spirituality named after its founder Ignatius of Loyola.  The Exercises deeply rely on the use of imagination during religious meditation and they are allegedly designed to free one of his own desires and even individual identity in order to solely obey what the adherent understands as “God’s will”.

Martin Scorsese’s new movie Silence will tell the story of violence and persecution two young Jesuits suffered in Japan in the seventeenth century.  It’s most probable that the motive of persecution, which is the Jesuit involvement and subversion of that nation’s political affairs, will not be discussed.  Neither their resultant expulsion from every country in which they held a mission, for similar reasons.

Scorsese was raised in such a devoted Catholic environment that it led him to spend a year in seminary.  The renowned film director used Jesuit James J. Martin as a trusted adviser on the film.  Father Martin was also in charge of helping the actors immerse themselves in Jesuit spirituality.  The star of the film, Andre Garfield (of The Amazing Spider-Man fame), recounted his experiences with the spiritual exercises:

By the end of it Garfield admitted, “I got totally swept up in all things Jesuit and very taken with Jesuit spirituality.”  He was so immersed in Jesuit spirituality that Garfield would stop and make suggestions on the set of the film, saying, “A Jesuit wouldn’t say that.” ~Philip Kosloski, Aleteia, December 8, 2016.

It is interesting to note that Garfield is Jewish.  As Scorsese will not be dealing with the reasons behind the Jesuit expulsion from Japan, it seems to be a forgone conclusion that Andrew Garfield is completely ignorant of Jewish persecution at the hands of the “Society of Jesus”.

Tolkien could have acquired his Jesuit writing style during his stay at Stonyhurst College, a Jesuit boarding school.  He spent time in one of the guesthouses and one of the classrooms in order to compile the LOTR trilogy.

“Tolkien was renowned for his love of nature and wooded landscapes and the countryside around Stonyhurst College and St Mary’s Hall is richly beautiful. The area is dotted with names that are familiar from The Lord of the Rings – Shire Lane in Hurst Green, for instance, or the River Shirebourn. Perhaps named after the Shireburn Family who had built Stonyhurst and owned the estate in the 16th and 17th centuries. The green countryside is dominated by the dark shape of Pendle Hill, famous for its association with witches, sorcery and black magic in the 16th century – surely inspiration for Middle Earth’s Misty Mountains or The Lonely Mountain?” ~BBC Lancashire, October 28, 2014.

Moreover, three of his sons attended Stonyhurst.  His eldest son John studied to become a priest after being evacuated from Rome during the Second World War, while his other son Michael was a professor there.  The place ended up being a source of inspiration for his Middle-earth.  Tolkien’s original manuscripts are kept at Jesuit Marquette University.

Another important personality who attended Stonyhurst was George Herbert Walker, the maternal grandfather and uncle of his namesake, George Herbert Walker Bush, Jr. (Skull and Bones ‘48) —the 41^st President of the United States and the 11^th Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.  As President of the investment bank Brown Brothers, Harriman, Walker was a key figure in bankrolling and enabling the rise of the Third Reich.  This was done to insure the Jesuit-managed Hegelian dialectic of Nazism verses Communism which was the source of unbelievable suffering in the Second World War and subsequent “Cold War”.

Admired by Pope Francis, J.R.R. Tolkien was, and still is, an important asset to the Jesuits and the Vatican; which justifies the amount of exposure his works have received through to the present day.  Tolkein was most assuredly not a great writer who happened to also be Roman Catholic.  He was and is a Jesuit-controlled agent of using fantasy to instill warmth and openness to Roman Catholicism.

C.S. Lewis: Chronicles of an Ecumenical Writer in the Service of Rome

Close friend to devout Roman Catholic J.R.R. Tolkien, Clive Staples Lewis (aka C.S. Lewis) was born in Belfast, N. Ireland in 1898.  He’s commonly portrayed as coming from a bigoted Protestant family due to his maternal grandfather, Anglican priest Rev. Thomas Hamilton and Hamilton’s anti-Catholic views.  Nevertheless, Hamilton served as a priest in Rome prior to returning to Ireland.

On the other hand Lewis’ mother, Florence (Flora) Hamilton, was known for her tolerance towards Catholics, even hiring several to work in her home and to look after Lewis and his brother Warren.  Both Clive and Warren were frequent guests at the local monastery in Blackfriars, Oxford of Fr. Gervase Mathew.  In addition, a “miracle” witnessed by Flora while still living in Rome may have inspired one of the characters of Narnia.

While Thomas Hamilton was living in Rome, incidentally, something occurred which entered into family legend and eventually formed a seed for C. S. Lewis’s most famous story.  Hamilton’s daughter Flora – C. S. Lewis’s mother – was then a little girl.  One afternoon she and some grown-ups escaped the scorching heat of the pavement by walking into a church.  Under one of the altars there was the body of a saint lying in a glass case.  While no grown-up was looking, Flora distinctly saw this figure open her eyelids.  Just as when Lucy comes back from the other side of the wardrobe and discovers that everyone thinks Narnia is a product of her imagination, so the Hamiltons failed to believe in Flora’s “miracle”.  The difference between Flora and Lucy was Flora did not herself believed that she had witnessed anything miraculous.  “I thought it was done by cords pulled by a priest behind the alter [sic].”  Nevertheless, the pattern of the story – a little girl who has seen a wonder in which the rest of her family refuse to believe – is structurally the same as that of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. ~ C.S. Lewis: A Biography by A.N. Wilson, p.2, 1990.

Another possible source of inspiration for Lewis in the character of Lucy in his Chronicles of Narnia may actually have been a Dominican tertiary, the Blessed Lucy of Narni.

…today is the actual feast day of the actual Blessed Lucy of Narnia. …

The life of the real Lucy is even more magical and wondrous even than the one CS Lewis imagined for “Queen Lucy the Valiant”.

Born in the late fifteenth century, Blessed Lucia (“Lucy” in English) Brocadelli was from the ancient Umbrian town of Narni (“Narnia” in Latin).  A pious child, she is said to have received visions from an early age.  Following her father’s death in her early teens, she was married off by her uncle to Pietro, Count of Milan, though they lived as brother and sister.

As Countess, she was famed for her life of prayer and care for the poor, baking bread for them herself (ably assisted, it is said, by a number of Saints from Heaven).  The lure of religious life proved irresistible. And the couple separated, she to become a Dominican tertiary, and he ultimately to join the Franciscans.

Among much else, Lucy of Narnia received the stigmata and became prioress of a convent, before ultimately spending her final four decades locked up by her successor. She died in 1544. In 1710, her body incorrupt, she was beatified by Pope Clement XI. ~ The real Blessed Lucy of Narnia was even more amazing than CS Lewis’s imagination, the Catholic Herald

Lewis went on to hold academic positions at Oxford University and according to Jesuit Peter Milward, he was an occasional guest of Jesuit Thomas Corbishley, the then Master of Campion Hall.  The Society of Jesus runs Campion Hall as one of the Permanent Private Halls of Oxford University.  Undoubtedly, Lewis acquitted himself to many Jesuits during his tenure there, as evidenced by his frequent letters to or about them.  In a letter to Milward from June 27, 1963; Lewis addresses his “lacking in the spiritual tact which is so conspicuous among my Jesuit friends in Oxford”.  Moreover, in a letter to Sister Madeleva CSC from April 12, 1954; Lewis asks to be remembered by Jesuit Martin Cyril D’Arcy who, according to him, had a “fine mind, both rich and sharp”.  D’Arcy was Campion Hall’s Master prior to Corbishley.

Interestingly, there were rumors at the time that perhaps Lewis was secretly a Jesuit himself.  These speculations were also corroborated by Christopher Derrick, one of Lewis’s friends.  Regardless of that, his works such as Mere Christianity and Screwtape Letters account for the conversion of innumerous people to Catholicism.

Lewis has been credited (or blamed) in recent years with setting numerous people on the road to Rome.  Such Catholic converts have included many of the serious scholars and disciples of Lewis, some of whom knew him before he died… ~ R.A. Benthall, Ave Maria College, Michigan quoted in C.S. Lewis and the Catholic Church by Joseph Pearce, Ignatius Press, 2003, p.xv.

Perhaps, the appeal to coming to the Roman Catholic Church was mainly due to the ecumenical aspects of his work, reflected especially in Mere Christianity.  The book was Lewis’s attempt to gloss over any theological controversies between Catholics and Protestants in order to establish a generic Christianity suitable to anyone that vaguely related to “God” in any way.  Lewis contributed, and proudly so, to bridge Protestants and Roman Catholics.

If I have not directly helped the cause of reunion, I have perhaps made it clear why we ought to be reunited. ~Mere Christianity, Issue 7 by C.S. Lewis, p.XI, 2001.

The time is always ripe for reunion.  Divisions between Christians are a sin and a scandal and Christians ought at all times to be making contributions toward reunion…the result is that letters of agreement reach me from what are ordinarily regarded as the most different kinds of Christians; for instance, I get letters from Jesuits, monks, nuns, also from Quakers and Welsh Dissenters, and so on. ~ C.S. Lewis, The Grand Miracle, and Other Selected Essays on Theology and Ethics from God in the Dock, (Random House, 1970), p. 35.

In order to accomplish such an ecumenical task, Lewis compromised on many Christian doctrines.  One important example was the parallel between the Mass (transubstantiation) and the Lord’s Supper.  He also believed in Purgatory, although not quite the one professed by the Catholic Church; and praying for the dead, albeit not saints.

Mark Brumley, president of RC Ignatius Press summarizes Lewis’s legacy quite well.

Moreover, Lewis’s distinction between the Christian faith as such and any particular denominational formulation of it, whether Protestant or Catholic or Orthodox, has helped foster a more sympathetic assessment of Catholicism among some Protestants and, ironically, has aided in bringing more than a few searching sheep into the Catholic fold. Protestants who tend to equate Christianity with their Protestant version of it will find in Lewis no ally. (emphasis mine) ~ The Relevance and Challenge of C. S. Lewis by Mark Brumley on November 29, 2005.

Despite his engagement in spiritual matters, his best-known work is the children’s series The Chronicles of Narnia, which tells the story of four ordinary children discovering and exploring the imaginary land of Narnia.  Published in the 1950’s, Lewis was previously assured that his ideas on writing children’s novels were “Jesuitical”, which perhaps may explain the broad coverage the series has enjoyed to this date.

In a letter of 1945 to Dorothy L. Sayers, he declares that he is “all for little books on other subjects with their Christianity latent.  I propounded this in the S.C.R [Senior Common Room at Campion Hall [the Jesuit House of Studies in Oxford] and was told that it was “Jesuitical” ~ The Lion’s World: A Journey into the Heart of Narnia by Rowan Williams, p.15, 2012.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams would know.

Romans in vicar vestments run all the way to the top at Westminster.

The 104^th Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Douglas Williams, was recommended by “closet Catholic” Prime Minister Tony Blair and immediately underwent a pagan ceremony to have him promoted to the highest Druidic Degree just prior to his enthronement.³⁷⁵  Williams’ 10 years of “service” included pushing to have his homosexual friend³⁷⁶ Jeffrey John appointed Bishop of Reading³⁷⁷, claiming that sodomy reflected the “love of God”³⁷⁸, calling Sharia law “acceptable” and “unavoidable”³⁷⁹ and announcing that unity of all Christian sects under Rome was a “matter of urgency”.³⁸⁰

This can be explained by his audience in 2003 before the Catholic Pole chemist and salesman who helped get cyanide into the Nazi extermination chambers during WWII,³⁸¹ Karol Józef Wojtyła where, unlike Thomas Cranmer (who burned his hand off rather than serve Rome) he carefully kissed the ring of Pope John Paul II. ~ Secret History: The erased clues that prove who rules the world from behind the curtain. Johnny Cirucci, CreateSpace (2016), pp. 487-488

The most important character in this realm is Aslan, a talking lion that is described as the King of Beasts and son of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea.  Depicted as a protector of the children, Aslan was conceived as an alternative version of Christ.

Although Aslan can be read as an original character, parallels exist with Christ.  In particular, Aslan’s sacrifice and subsequent resurrection parallel Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection.  Aslan also has God-like powers; he created Narnia with a song (The Magician’s Nephew).  The Emperor-Over-the-Sea then refers to God the Father, and Aslan’s country (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) to heaven.  In The Last Battle a new Narnia is made and also a new Earth, as in the Book of Revelation.  Furthermore, there are biblical references of Christ being called a lion, as in Revelation 5:5 “Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep.  See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.’” (NRSV).  When he first appeared at the end of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, he looked like a lamb, which is also a symbol of Christ, who is frequently described throughout the New Testament as being “The Lamb of God”. ~ Wikipedia

As a result, the Narnia’s tales have been deliberately propagated among Christian circles.  James Dobson’s Focus on the Family promotes the series on radio.  Even the then-governor of Florida, Jeb Bush (a converted Roman Catholic and Knight of Columbus), wants every child in the state to read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  Despite the fact that the stories have been implicated with witchcraft and medieval astrology, Lewis himself was proud to utilize pagan elements in order to introduce Christianity.

Lewis himself believed that pagan mythology could act as a preparation for Christianity, both in history and in the imaginative life of an individual, and even suggested that modern man was in such a lamentable state that perhaps it was necessary “first to make people good pagans, and after that to make them Christians.” ~ Wikipedia

Catholic beliefs are a syncretistic mix of Christianity and pagan elements, namely Babylonian demonism and Chaldean sun worship.  In fact, the association of the lion with the words “beast” and “emperor-over-the sea” may have a meaning complete opposite to Christ, which is found in the last book of the Bible.

The Beast out of the Sea

The dragon stood on the shore of the sea.  And I saw a beast coming out of the sea.  It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.  The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.  The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.  One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed.  The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.  People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast?  Who can wage war against it?” ~ Revelation 13:1-4 – NIV

Prior to erasing such understanding from the minds of all Christians save Seventh Day Adventists, this passage was clearly understood to be speaking of Rome.

“This calls for a mind with wisdom.  The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.” ~ Revelation 17:9

The seven hills of Rome are legendary to any aware enough of either history or geography.

Although it’s assumed that C.S. Lewis never converted to Catholicism, a Jesuit priest named Guy Brinkworth wrote a letter suggesting that Lewis came very close to a conversion.

In the letters I received from him, he time and time again asked specifically for prayers that God might give him “the light and grace to make the final gesture”. He even went so far as to ask in a postscript to one of his letters for “prayers that the prejudices instilled in me by an Ulster nurse might be overcome”. ~ C.S. Lewis and the Catholic Church by Joseph Pearce, Ignatius Press, 2003.

If in fact he was a secret Catholic or even a disguised Jesuit priest as all the evidence may suggest, it’s more likely that the decision to not disclose his true identity came from his superiors.  Perhaps, even the story about Lewis being a secret MI6 agent might have been disclosed to cover up his real masters.

Lewis died on November 22, 1963.  Curiously, two other preeminent people died within minutes of each other; namely the 35^th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy and the English writer, Aldous Huxley.  It certainly brings to memory another case involving the death of founding fathers John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the same day: the 4^th of July.  And as one might think, the odds are against mere coincidence.  Even more so when President James Monroe also died on the 4^th of July.

Having a prominent person die on a significant date is the calling card of assassins so good at their work they leave no other trace.  Such is the reputation of the Jesuits.

It’s pointless to discuss if C.S. Lewis indeed became a Roman Catholic.  His works speak for themselves.  The ecumenical seeds he planted in the minds of Protestants and Catholics alike are germinating in the present time.  Bringing multitudes to the “Holy Mother Church” and being admired by Popes were some of Lewis’s achievements.

At a papal audience, Walter Hooper found himself discussing C.S. Lewis with Pope John Paul II.  At the end of the meeting, the Pope gave his own summary of Lewis’s achievement.  Lewis, he said, knew what his “apostolate”, his divine calling, was.  There was a long pause when Hooper thought the Pope had finished.  Then the Pope added “and he did it”. ~ C.S. Lewis in a Time of War: The World War II Broadcasts That Riveted a Nation and Became the Classic Mere Christianity by Justin Phillips, p.296, 2002.

Christ spoke in Mathew 7:16: You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

Lewis’s and Tolkien’s fruits are rotten.

UPDATE 16 November 2017

Farnese, Borgia and “Aragorn”

The Jesuits were founded originally as The Society of Jesus on August 15, 1534, the day of  “Assumption”, during a secret ceremony held in the crypt of the Chapel of St. Denis by Ignatius of Loyola (full name Iñigo López de Loyola), Francisco Xavier, Alfonso Salmeron, Diego Lainez, Nicolás Bobadilla from Spain, Peter Faber from Savoy, France, and Simão Rodrigues from Portugal.

Francis Borgia founded the Jesuits

Its constitution was approved by Francis Borgia, a member of the infamous Borgia family , also known as Borja / Borgia, Duke of Grandia, nephew of Pope Alexander VI and patron of Ignatius of Loyola.  Francis Borgia was the main financier and architect of the gradual transformation of the Jesuits in the first order of monks as a military organization within the Catholic Church.  He was also a promoter of adoption of the Papal Bull Regimini militantis ( 27 September 1540 ), by the very close companion of the Borgia family, Alessandro Farnese, Pope Paul III, who first granted the official status of Jesuit order.

Ignatius of Loyola was noticed for the first time by the young Duke of Grandia already in 1529, when he was re-arrested by the Inquisition in relation to extreme practices of religious devotion.  Borgia saw the potential in the devotion of a military charter founded on the extremism preached by Ignatius of Loyola, and his will to establish a military order of monks.  It was the young Borgia, who saved the life of Ignatius from the Inquisition.

On the death of Ignatius in 1557, Francis Borgia should have secured the appointment of a second Superior General.  However, his ambitions were thwarted in by his arch – enemy Giovanni Pietro Carafa, Pope Paul IV (1555-1559).  Carafa had always been one of the biggest opponents of Borgia Pope Alexander VI and promptly named Diego Laynez (Jaime Lainez) as Superior General.

Pope Paul IV died in August of 1559 and he was succeeded by Giovanni Angelo de `Medici (Pope Pius IV).  In both cases, the Superior General of the Jesuits Diego Laynez aligned himself closely to the conduct of the pontiff, proving to be virtually untouchable.

However, when Medici Pope Pius IV tortured and murdered Benedetto Accolti the Younger and other members of the papal families in what was called a conspiracy against him, Cardinal Borgia acted and Pius IV was poisoned and killed December 9, 1565.  A few days later, the Superior General Diego Laynez suffered the same fate and immediately after Cardinal Francis Borgia was unanimously elected as the third Superior General. ~ SouthEast Asian Water And Power Alliance

Francis Borgia, 4th Duke of Gandía was born in Duchy of Gandía, Valencia, on 28 October 1510.  His father was Juan Borgia, 3rd Duke of Gandía, the son of Giovanni Borgia, the son of Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia).  His mother was Juana, daughter of Alonso de Aragón, Archbishop of Zaragoza, who, in turn, was the illegitimate son of King Ferdinand II of Aragon.^[1]  His brother, Tomás de Borja y Castro, also became a clergyman, becoming the Bishop of Málaga, and later the Archbishop of Zaragoza. ~ Wikipedia

The daughter of Ferdinand II was Catherine of Aragon, the wife of Henry VIII.  Her inability to give Henry a male heir instead caused him to give birth to the “Church of England” when his request for the marriage to be annulled was denied by Pope Clement VII.  She was pushed aside in favor of Anne Boleyn but not before giving birth to daughter Mary.

The greatest thing Henry ever created was Edward VI.  Along with Oliver Cromwell, they were perhaps the only true Protestants ever to hold power anywhere in the world.  Consequently, Edward was murdered before reaching maturity.  He chose his cousin Lady Jane Grey over his half-sister Mary but Mary was able to steal power in a coup.  She had Lady Jane murdered and then went on a bloody rampage, burning almost 300 English Protestants at the stake earning her the moniker “Bloody Mary”.

Was this why Tolkien’s returning king hero was named “Aragorn”? ~ MIG MAG
