>However, the interesting bit of Catholicism that lends itself to an organization like the CIA would be the Jesuits, who have been the butt of conspiracy theories since their founding, but also run an old network of elite schools and are considered the Vatican brain trust.
Do you have any evidence to back that up?
- TheMonarchist 5y agoI'm not quite sure what exactly you want backed up (nor did I write that), but from the top of my head https://www.chick.com/information/article-listing?subject=catholicism https://www.chick.com/information/article-listing?subject=ca... might answer your question to some extent.
- ginko 5y agoYou seriously link chick.com, from the author of Chick Tracts[1] as an authoritative source on Catholicism? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_tract https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_tract
- boffinAudio 5y agoChick Tracts are quite literally Christian propaganda. Why wouldn't they be relevant in a discussion involving persecution of other Christian groups?

- krige 5y agoI wager Christianity does not subscribe to Chick's ideas in any real, broad or specific, sense.
- boffinAudio 5y agoNo true Scotsman would argue with you that Chick Christians are full of bad ideas that other Christians would find repugnant.
- TheMonarchist 5y agoYou seriously link wikipedia, that simply sides with the numbers of those angered by Chick attempting to convert some of their own, as an authoritative source on Chick Tracts? To answer your question, obviously the ultimate authority on Popery would be Popes themselves. That link serves as a quick refresher on a) why Jesuits are the butt of so many conspiracy theories b) why they are "the interesting bit of Catholicism", for most content there is somehow related to them. Albeit one could also argue that clearly they aren't the only interesting bit, for all of it isn't related to them. Edit: There's actually a category dedicated to Jesuits, but it has surprisingly few articles, presumably because they decided to give Alberto Rivera his own category. So multiple categories treat them nevertheless.
