History of the Jesuits
Excerpted from the massive 2 vol.
History of Protestantism
by Dr. J. A. Wylie LL.D.
from Reformation Website
Dr. Wylie's massive History was published in 1878.
The Jesuits did not self -destruct with the fall of the Papal States in 1870. As a matter of fact, that momentous event spurred them on to greater effort. The highest ranking Jesuit priest ever to escape that system and come to Christ was Dr. Alberto Rivera. He was a Bishop under the Extreme Oath of Induction. Normally, a person of such high rank who wants out knows too much, and always leaves feet first!! God miraculously spared his life for 30 years. He finally succumbed to Jesuit poison in June, 1997.
Dr. Rivera authenticates everything that Dr. Wylie says in his book and the half has not been told!!

During the Second Vatican Council, Dr. Rivera was taken deep beneath the Vatican to the Secret Archives, where all the history of the world for the past 2000 years is stored. He was ordered to study the methods of infiltration and extermination used by Nero, Diocletian, Constantine, Dominic, Torquemada, and Loyola etc., in preparation for the Last Great Inquisition!!
Dr. Rivera read many top secret documents that linked the Vatican to the creation of Islam and Communism etc.,etc.
