-John Adams (1735-1826; 2nd President of the United States)"My history of the Jesuits is not eloquently written, but it is supported by unquestionable authorities,[and] is very particular and very horrible. Their [the Jesuit Orders] restoration [in 1814 by Pope Pius VII]is indeed a step toward darkness, cruelty, despotism, [and] death. I do not like the appearance of the Jesuits.

(1774)-Pope Clement XIV (Who had forever abolished the Jesuit Order in 1773)"Alas, I knew they [i.e., the Jesuits] would poison me; but I did not expect to die in so slow and cruel a manner. "
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881; famous Russian novelist)"The Jesuits are simply the Romish army for the earthly sovereignty of the world in the future, with the Pontiff of Rome for emperor that's their ideal. It is simple lust of power, of filthy earthly gain, of domination something like a universal serfdom with them [i.e., the Jesuits] as masters that's all they stand for. They don't even believe in God perhaps."
Those are all just the opinions of men, and we both know what opinions are worth.
I'm sure we can find just as many from men and women who in the course of world history have said favorable words about the Jesuits.
