The Society of Jesus is not the Roman Catholic Church, which has suffered much from the burden of Jesuitism wounds that are scarcely atoned for by the meritorious and self-sacrificing services on her behalf in other directions.
Thus the early Reformers initiated the Reformation, and with it the liberation of modern thought. Emerson has said that every institution is to be regarded as but the lengthened shadow of some great man: as Islamism of Mahomet, Puritanism of Calvin, Jesuitism of Loyola, Quakerism of Fox, Methodism of Wesley, Abolitionism of Clarkson.
It is true that by a little feminine Jesuitism, common enough, she might ascribe all this to vertigo, a sort of vertigo common to youth and love, which has turned more heads than all the precipices of Mount Blanc! What a strange creature is Louise! An inexplicable mixture of acute intelligence and virgin modesty, displaying at the same time an ignorance and information never imagined.
They are so jesuitical that the cunningest Jesuit himself could never guess to what extent of jesuitism a woman may go, for there are a thousand ways of being jesuitical, and a woman is such an adroit Jesuit, that she has the knack of being a Jesuit without having a jesuitical look.
Yet, with characteristic Jesuitism, the Cardinal could not refrain, even in the very letter in which he detailed the rebellious demonstrations of Berghen, and the murderous schemes of Horn, to protest that he did not say these things "to prejudice his Majesty against any one, but only that it might be known to what a height the impudence was rising."
"Just so! `All things work together for good to them that love God." "Does not that savour of Jesuitism, Fred, which teaches the detestable doctrine that you may do evil if good is to come of it?" "Not so, Tom; because I did not understand you to use the word wrong in the sense of sinful, but in the sense of erroneous mistaken.
The grand annual festival of these Indians occurs on the 30th of September, and the ceremonies are of a peculiarly interesting character. Jesuitism has grafted its faith upon the superstitions of the Montezumas, and a curious fruitage is the result. A brief description can give but a faint idea of these ceremonies, but may serve to arouse an interest in the matter. In the early morning of St.
Founded on the substantial rocks of mendicancy and jesuitism, it might again triumph over its rapidly rising rival, the heretic Amsterdam, which had no better basis for its grandeur than religious and political liberty, and uncontrolled access to the ocean. Such were the aspirations of a distinguished and loyal Netherlander for the regeneration of his country.
Nor has the downfall of that most ambitious and subtle body, worked any important change in the constitution of the university. The Carolinum is still the laymen's college; the Clementinum the place of education for the divine, who seems to be returning, with rapid strides, at least in Prague, to what he used to be while yet Jesuitism was in full vigour.
It might exclude from public employment a few honest Jacobites who were generally too dull to be mischievous; but it was altogether inefficient as a means of binding the supple and slippery consciences of cunning priests, who, while affecting to hold the Jesuits in abhorrence, were proficients in that immoral casuistry which was the worst part of Jesuitism.
