"I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits....
Shall we not have regular swarms of them here, in as many disguises as only a king
of the gipsies can assume, dressed as printers, publishers, writers and schoolmasters?
If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in Hell,
it is this society of Loyolas.
Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration
to offer them an asylum."
--John Adams to Thomas Jefferson; May, 1816
Jesuits, trouble then and trouble ahead.
Catholics worship them as if they were deities.
Adams called ‘em like he saw ‘em.
