just curious, are there any jesuits here? the more I hear about the order the more I like it...but I'm not actually a catholic, so I was wondering what I could learn about it from any lay or priestly members of the order that might happen to be here...though I'd be suprised if there are many.

Although Catholic, I don't really know enough about the Jesuits. I don't think they have lay members. I'm fairy sure it's a priests' order.

Apparently they're a crack force of fanatics tasked with overthrowing the US constitution.

That's the Iluminati, not the Jesuits.

I believe the Jesuits were implied to be part of the Illuminati.

Society of Jesus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Seal of the Society of Jesus. "IHS" is actually the Greek letters iota, eta, sigma, "IES" in Latin, an abbreviation for the name of Jesus Christ

The Society of Jesus (Latin: Societas Iesu (S.J.)) is a Christian religious order of the Catholic Church in direct service to the Pope. Its members, known as Jesuits since the Protestant Reformation, have been called "Soldiers of Christ", first, and "Foot soldiers of the Pope", second, in part because the Society's founder, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, was a soldier before he became a priest. Today, Jesuits number 20,170 (with 14,147 priests), and comprise the largest religious order of men in the Catholic Church (the Franciscan family of OFM's, Capuchins, and Conventuals has approximately 31,899 members, of whom 20,786 are priests, however the "family" consists of multiple orders). Jesuit priests and brothers are engaged in ministries in 112 nations on six continents. Their works are focused on education and intellectual contributions, primarily at colleges and universities, as well as missionary work and ministry in human rights and social justice.

There might be some Bene Gessirit, though.

No according to the conspiracy theory, the Iluminati already have control over the government, and not just the US government, but practically rule the world.

if there is a catholic university near you you can probably find one there. i have the impression that they are very talkative.
