JESUITS & THE OCCULT
As I mentioned
earlier, I would be explicating upon the hither-to-unknown subject of Jesuit
Priests and the world of the occult. However, before I proceed I would like to
clarify what I’m referring to when I speak of Jesuit Priests involving
themselves in the mystical. One can easily mistake this statement to imply that
all those dedicated to the Society of Jesus are in actuality dabblers in
Arcanum, harkening back to images of the super-secret society Opus Dei.
Far from it.
The majority of Jesuits
would eschew this notion and are simply devoted to the order, in carrying out
the daily functions of officiating over church matters and the like.
Having
said this, there are and has been a negligible few who have stepped out of the
purview of their ordinary duties and have applied themselves vigorously to
unraveling the ambiguities particularly shrouded within the world of the
supernatural.
It might not be common
knowledge, but not a few Jesuit priests have performed exorcisms even in recent
times. The fact that they are capable of affecting this spiritual service
bespeaks their vast knowledge and exposure to the vulgarities of the world of
the occult.
Madame Helena
Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society, was fond of accusing Jesuit
priests of, not only dabbling in the Arcanum, but also of having commerce with
black magic. Whether this accusation if well-founded or not is still debatable.
Nevertheless, it seems
probable that the Society of Jesus, otherwise known as the Jesuits, did have
exposure to the magical crafts as a result of the codifying of a great body of
mystic knowledge by the 12th century Catholic Pope Honorius the 3rd,
who commissioned a vast compilation of the all the then-known systems of magic
in the entire western world.
This monumental work
upon completion was entitled “The Grimoire of Pope Honorius,” and has secretly
served as a guidebook for Catholic priests ever since, who were curious and
bold enough to step foot into the nebulous world of the supernatural and to
take on this added profession.
Once again, the
question: What does this exposition have to do with my novel The Shaitan? The answer is that it
brings us back to the enigmatic figure of the Jesuit priest, Father Emmanuel
Miguel Ramirez and his behind-the-scene manipulation and control over the
clandestine US army “Operation Inferno,” and over the life and career of our
main character, Army Ranger Staff Sergeant Hank Donaldson.
To further understand
the complexity of this covert relationship and how it relates to staff Sergeant
Hank Donaldson’s assignment over Homeland Security of the nation, I encourage
you all to purchased and read an ebook copy of The Shaitan.
