into the arms of Rome. Of course, no such oath was ever taken by any
Jesuit. It reminds one of the fabricated plots of the same period implicating
Catholics in alleged attempts to overthrow the English Monarchy aimed at
re-igniting anti-Catholic sentiment throughout Britain.
The above illustrates the contribution of the Society of Jesus to the cause of
Christ and the Church in the world since her foundation. Today, the Society
of Jesus continues with a different collection of triumphs and crosses.
Those members who strive to uphold faithfully the original spirit of St.
Ignatius maintain the struggle for orthodoxy and fidelity to the Holy Father.
In all things these Jesuits forge on, keeping in mind St. Ignatius’ original
motto for the Society, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (For the Greater Glory of
God).
