Description
The Power and the Secret
"A state of war exists between the papacy and the Religious Order of the Jesuits - the Society of Jesus . . . .
"It is involved in the . . . rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union . . . the fate in the misery or happiness of 350 million people in Latin America . . . [the] national consensus of the American people; . . . [the] human affairs of the People's Republic of China; the fragile persistence of a free Western Europe; the security of Israel. . . . All of these things, separate and unconnected as they may seem, are not only interwoven with one another, but are and will be profoundly influenced by the tides and outcome of the global collision between the papacy and the Society of Jesus." - From the introduction, "The War"
In The Jesuits, Malachi Martin reveals for the first time the harrowing behind-the-scenes story of the "new" world-wide Society of Jesus. The leaders and the dupes; the blood and the pathos; the politics, the betrayals and the humiliations; the unheard-of alliances and compromises. The Jesuits tells a true story of today that is already changing the face of all our tomorrows.
Eminent theologian, expert on the Catholic Church, and former Jesuit and professor at the Vatican's Pontifical Biblical Institute, Malachi Martin is author of the national best-sellers Vatican, The Final Conclave, an Hostage to the Devil.
