"The 'Society of Jesus', the members of which are referred to as the Jesuits, has absorbed the Papacy. This Society was founded by a fanatic, one Ignatius Loyola, in 1541; its object being to combat the Protestant Reformation of Martin Luther of 1517... "The great mistake which the American non-Catholic people make is that they judge the Papacy by the Roman Church as they find it in this country. One cannot gauge it from this standpoint, for we must remember that it is operating where more than five-sixths of the people are non-Romanists -- in a Protestant country. In order to get an accurate estimate one must survey it in its native state, so to speak, -- in Catholic countries where it has held sway for centuries. On this side of the Atlantic, for instance, we will have to contemplate it as it is in Mexico, or Central and South America, in order to get a true estimate. "I shall quote through these pages copiously from several books, some of which are out of print, in order that their messages may not be entirely lost." -- Burke McCarty The Lutheran Library Publishing Ministry finds, restores and republishes good, readable books from Lutheran authors and those of other sound Christian traditions.
