1. the Army and Navy are military branches;
2. the Air Force is a corporation; and
3. the Marine Corps is a religion (alt. cult)
Well the Mexican proverb goes that there are three things only God knows:
Please make sure you’re seated comfortably and prepared for the most cringe, Jerry Springer “hagiography” you’ve read in your life. Rev. John Padberg, S.J., Director of the Institute of Jesuit Resources (!), recounts how a knight once successfully had Íñigo López (falsely Latinized Ignatius of Loyola 🙄, founder of the Compañía de Jesús, questionably Latinized Societas 🙄 etc.) and his brother Pedro López charged with “roughing up” a man who was apparently attempting to chivalrously rescue the latter’s mistress. This (sigh, allegedly) took place in Íñigo López’s native town of Azpeitia.
As a result of these documented incidents this person, who despite his vast influence was never awarded the title of Doctor of the Church unlike a couple of his contemporary countrymen (namely Teresa of Ávila and John of the Cross, both Discalced Carmelites), is claimed even by Jesuits to be the one Roman Catholic “saint with a notarized police record on file,” a police record alleging gang violence with adulterous intent in which his gang beat a rival gang that was attempting to bring Pedro’s mistress back to her family. This was, the Jesuit assures the cable TV audience, “before his conversion”–and the man clearly did undergo some kind of spiritual transformation–yet this kind of ignoble violence seems a more widespread feature of Jesuit history than Rev. Padberg seems eager to discuss. Also omitted but also well sourced is the fact that about a generation after their founding Rome ordered the Jesuits to refrain from admitting “conversos”–really anyone of any Jewish or Arab heritage–about a generation after their founding and (excepting their apostate and indeed mortally sinful suppression period naturally) up until 1945 (whereupon their fall from Roman Catholic orthodoxy took on a curious sort of chutzpah and whereupon the papacy itself weakened [see Second Vatican Council], though arguably the Jesuits were always Nestorians even before they were card-carrying Communists as nearly all are today). Note that López/Loyola, himself halachically Jewish, had something of a mystic or “folk-Christian” fetish for what he ominously termed “Jewish lineage” in perhaps the most Dan Brown terms imaginable.
“The three forms of initiation—individual, group, or universal—all lead to conscious or unconscious control by a central power, who in some mysterious way makes its influence felt; often clairvoyantly and clairaudiently seen and heard, but never physically present or visible. The system in all three is the same—cabalistic. Secretly here and there individuals are prepared; these again form groups or centers from which influences spread until they form a network covering the entire world. Like rays from a hidden sun these groups are apparently divergent and detached, but in reality all issue from the same central body. The system is seen to be an insidious and secret dissemination of ideas, orienting and breaking down all barriers of family, religion, morality, nationality, and all self-initiative thought, always under the cloak of a new and more modern religion, new thought, new morality, a new heaven and a new earth; until it evolves a gigantic robot merely answering to the will and commands of a secret Mastermind. They dream they are free, original, self-determining individuals; they are but the negative moon reflecting and reproducing the light from the same hidden and cabalistic Sun. It is called ‘regeneration’ by the Illuminati; it is in truth individual death and disintegration, followed by a resurrection as negative ‘light-bearers’ of this cabalistic dark Sun whose Luciferian ‘Grand Plan’ is world domination” (Inquire Within, Light-Bearers of Darkness, p. 105). ↗ Notes about the Illuminati (cf. Alumbrados)
Note: to cancel a vow—particularly one made to an unworthy institution or under dubious circumstances (such as deceitfulness or opacity [i.e. secretiveness])—all that is required is full, free and willing renunciation of the organization in question, and an attempt to notify their head honcho…and whoosh! Out of your life!
The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society, and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know” (John Fitzgerald Kennedy, address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, 27 April 1961).
