The Black Pope: A History of the Jesuits

by Mary Francis Cusack

Margaret Anna Cusack (1829 –1899), who wrote under her religious name "Mary Francis Cusack" was first an Irish Anglican nun, then a Roman Catholic nun, and then a Religious Sister, and the founder of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace. By 1870 more than 200,000 copies of her works which ranged from biographies of saints to pamphlets on social issues had circulated throughout the world.

Motivated by the sudden death of her fiancé, she joined a convent of Puseyite Anglican nuns. However, disappointed at not been sent to the Crimean War she converted to Roman Catholicism and joined the Order of St. Clare (also known as the Poor Clares), a community of Franciscan nuns.

She left the Kenmare Poor Clares in November 1881. After leaving the convent, she began to establish shelters and vocational schools for female emigrants to the US and supported herself through lectures and writings.

In 1884, during a personal interview with Pope Leo XIII to seek his support, Cusack obtained permission to leave the Poor Clares and found a new congregation, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace.

In 1888 she returned to the Anglican Communion after an altercation with her bishop and issued "The Nun of Kenmare: An Autobiography" the following year. Afterwards she wrote and lectured as tirelessly as ever, writing: "The Black Pope: History of the Jesuits" (1892).

Looks at the formation of the Jesuits by Ignatius Loyola in the 1534 and its subsequent influence on the Vatican thereafter .
Since Constantine made Christianity the official Roman religion abandoning the ancient Gods and most likely was the kernel for the line in the Gospel of "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's", Rome had their system for control of the masses in place.
Written in the late 1800s, this serves as a warning .
Jesuits act as the secret army upholding a conservative version of the Catholic faith and gives examples in history of what the Jesuits have done to Kings , Queens and other leaders when they stray from the Vatican to heresy as did the Protestants, even resorting to murder and assassination.
Jesuit influence has taken the purity of Christianity and turned it into a control mechanism and an us versus them mentality.
If you're not Catholic, you are a heretic and not worthy.
To this day, the Jesuits continue their work and their boss, the barely known Black Pope, has more power than the Pope, who is merely the public figurehead doing as told .
I would argue they are today the most powerful organisation in the world through their influence over billions of Catholic followers and their infiltration of politics, science, and finance .
Instead of fighting the politics, they put their plants in and chose the science that they could control using the banking system to finance it.
The brainwashing of the masses has been perfected by the Vatican, and the amazing thing is that very few people see it.
