"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 Order’s) 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. If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society of (Ignatius de) Loyola."

John Adams

"The Jesuits…are a secret society – a sort of Masonic order – with superadded features of revolting odiousness, and a thousand times more dangerous."

Quote by R. W. Thompson about Jesuits and their influence

"[The Jesuits] are the deadly enemies of civil and religious liberty. [The Jesuit General] occupies the place of God, and must be obeyed, howsoever the peace and welfare of the multitude may be imperiled, or the nations be convulsed from center to circumference. The society of Jesuits must obtain the mastery, even if general anarchy shall prevail, or all the world besides be covered with the fragments of a universal wreck!
