You've NEVER heard of RC JESUITS infiltrating other religions in cognito?
In China for example, they literally BECAME BUDDHIST MONKS and LEADERS of
that religion, in order to serve the long term agenda of the Vatican. They
even invented a character caled CONFUCIUS As one author has written of thier
style of intrigue:
"When appearing as members of their order, they wore a GARB OF SANCTITY,
visiting prisons and hospitals, ministering to the sick and the poor,
professing to have renounced the world, and bearing the sacred name of
Jesus, who went about doing good. But under this blameless exterior THE MOST
CRIMINAL AND DEADLY PURPOSES WERE CONCEALED.
It was a fundamental principle of the order that the END JUSTIFIES THE
MEANS. By this code, lying, theft, perjury, ASSASSINATION, were not only
pardonable but commendable, when they served the interests of the church.
Under various disguises the jesuits WORKED THEIR WAY INTO OFFICES of state,
CLIMBING UP to be the counselors of kings, and SHAPING THE POLICY of
nations.
They became servants, to act as spies upon their masters. They established
colleges for the sons of princes and nobles, and schools for the common
people; and the children of protestant parents were drawn into an observance
of popish rites. All the outward pomp and display of the romish worship was
brought to bear to confuse the mind, and dazzle and captivate the
imagination; and thus the liberty for which the fathers had toiled and bled
was betrayed by the sons. The jesuits rapidly spread themselves over europe,
and WHEREVER THEY WENT, THERE FOLLOWED A REVIVAL OF POPERY.
Throughout Christendom, Protestantism was menaced by formidable foes. The
first triumphs of the Reformation past, rome summoned new forces, hoping to
accomplish its destruction. At this time, the Order of the Jesuits was
created, the most cruel, unscrupulous, and powerful of all the champions of
popery.
Cut off from every earthly tie and human interest, dead to the claims of
natural affection, reason and conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule,
no tie, but that of their order, and not duty but to extend its power. The
Gospel of Christ had enabled its adherents to meet danger and endure
suffering, undismayed by cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to uphold the
banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and the stake.
To combat these forces, Jesuitism inspired its followers with a fanaticism
that enabled them to endure like dangers, and to oppose to the power of
truth all the weapons of deception. There was no crime too great for them to
commit, no deception too base for them to practice, NO DISGUISE TOO
DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO ASSUME. Vowed to perpetual poverty and humility, it
was their studied aim to secure wealth and power, to be devoted to the
overthrow of Protestantism, and THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PAPAL
SUPREMACY."

culture see:

Here's a sample review:
A fascinating reconstruction of a centuries-old hoodwink., June 3, 1998
Reviewer: Timothy Ritter (see more about me) from Crestone, Colorado, USA
What a joy it is when an academic rejects the obfuscating jargon of his clan
and writes clearly on a worthwhile topic. Such is the case with Lionel
Jensen and his new book on "Confucianism". Till now, this word has slipped
off our tongues all too glibly. It is not uncommon to read of "Confucian
values" and "Confucian wisdom". Jensen has points out quite cogently that
these things have no foundation. They are, in fact, fabrications.
No such person as Confucius ever existed. Kongzi, you say. Confucius is the
latinization of Kongzi. Not so, Jensen says. No evidence exists that the men
who created Confucius had Kongzi in mind any more than any of the other
anonymous sages who set onto paper the Four Books, which are regarded as the
basis of Confucianism. Nor is there any evidence that Kongzi actually wrote
any of the Four Books. He is mentioned in a couple of them, and he speaks in
a couple of them. But he could just as easily be a fictitious character as
an actual historical sage. He is supposed to have lived around 500 BC, but
we don't actually know any more about him than we do about Homer, which is
very little.
Confucius, on the other hand, we know a great deal about, or rather think we
do. He's the guy who wrote those pithy and sometimes cryptic things you see
in fortune cookies and on herbal tea bags (ginseng especially). Forget it,
says Jensen. Confucius did not live in 500 BC; he was manufactured 2000
years later by some Jesuit monks in the vicinity of Macao.
Padres Michele Ruggieri and Matteo Ricci arrived in China around 1580. At a
time when Indians and Jews and others were being converted to Catholicism at
gunpoint, these two missionaries took a more humane approach. They decided
to dress up like Buddhist monks to gain the confidence of the people. After
they'd learned enough Chinese language and made enough Chinese friends,
they'd subtly shift their focus to spreading the Gospel and mass baptisms
would follow. That was the plan, anyway. If this sounds ! like a Jerry
Lewis/Dean Martin vehicle, maybe that's because silly old movie plots have
their roots in solutions to age old problems.
Ruggieri and Ricci's predecessors in Macao had been plodding along with the
reverse method: insisting that Chinese converts adopt Portuguese names,
Portuguese clothes, and even learn Portuguese. But how many fish were they
going to snare in that sort of net? It must be remembered that Rome's 16th
Century heroes were the priests in Mexico who wrote home of baptizing tens
of thousands of Indians in a single day. If such conversional riches could
be laid up in little underdeveloped America, think what could be done with
China's hundreds of millions of souls.
Four years later their plan was in full swing. Ricci reports in a letter: "I
have become a Chinaman. In our clothing, in our books, in our manners, and
in everything external we have made ourselves Chinese." At first the monks
were pleased with their incarnation as Buddhists. They had talked themselves
into believing that Jesuits and Buddhists were really quite similar: vows of
poverty, celibacy, prayer, contemplation...Imagine then the horror they must
have felt as they gradually discovered the truth about the sect they were
impersonating: idolatry- little heathen statues everywhere;
corruption-Buddhist monks were constantly on the take. Worst of all, the
Buddhists routinely violated their vows of celibacy.
The Jesuits cast about for another way, and decided to make themselves ru.
This Chinese word has many meanings, one of which is a scholarly class who
passed down ancient teachings. The missionaries changed their position from
Buddhist to the more respectable trappings of Chinese literati. This proved
a better fit. After all, the activities the Jesuits busied themselves with-
mapmaking, writing, translating-were all intellectual pursuits. The ru as a
class were the brains of China. The teachings they passed along (also known
as ru) formed the basis of the exam which determined who joined the imperial
bureau! cracy.
The Jesuits continued mapping and writing and translating. They wrote
catechisms in Chinese for the natives who wanted to convert. It was in these
catechisms that "Confucius" was born. The catechisms took the form of a
dialogue between a Western scholar and a Chinese scholar. Both scholars
refer to the "author" of the Four Books as Confucius. Confucius, in these
catechisms, was a learned man who lived long ago, wrote the Four Books, was
decorous and virtuous, and above all was monotheistic.
The clear implication was: the Chinese from way back believed in the One
True God. Somehow, they'd lost their way amid a tangle of Buddhist and
Daoist idolatry. What they needed was to go back and study the works of
literature from their glorious past, written by a man who was Christian in
his beliefs, though he may not have known it himself. When the Jesuits
assembled an anthology of the Four Books in Latin for Western readers, they
gave credit to Confucius, the idealized sage from their catechism.
Jensen does not stop here, though I must. He continues to trace ru and the
idea of Confucianism down through the 20th Century, as it reverberated back
to Asia from the West when incipient Chinese nationalism needed the validity
that ru and Confucius seemed to carry. By then it had been much distorted
and embellished, and became unrecognizable as what Ruggieri and Ricci had
conceived: a set of teachings that antedated, mimicked, and were sometimes
identical to those spread by Jesus .
It has taken another 500 years for someone to point out the trick, and that
adds relish to the reading of this very impressive book. If you enjoy, as I
do, finding out that you didn't actually know what you were talking about,
then this is the title you should take to the beach this summer.
