Jesuit Base Communities Invade USA?
(Conspiracy Nation, 06/16/07) -- “Ah, yes. We must welcome the stranger (especially if he is Catholic),” say some of the Roman persuasion. This is what some Catholic princes are propagating, responding to controversy over illegal immigration in the United States.
At least indirectly involved in the Catholic invasion are a branch of the Vatican sovereign state called the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits. In Nicaragua, in the 1970s and 1980s, Jesuits found common cause with Marxists. “The people are the church,” was their belief. Jesuits began implementing “Base Communities.” For the Catholic church, the base communities were originally conceived as a way to extend the ministry of a professional clergy spread too thin. Rather than a worshiping community focused solely on Sunday Masses, the communities became a place where faith was made personal.

During the latter part of the 20th century and into the beginning of the next, Latin America has served as a kind of laboratory in extremis for contemporary religious ideas and models of church life. Base communities, liberation theology, new lay movements and traditional Catholicism, all mix in cultures often beset by desperate poverty, unstable and bloody politics, and powerful outside influences. (Ibid.)
To be fair, the Jesuits have had some remarkable people in their ranks. These have been some tough hombres who have risked their lives and frequently been martyred for their beliefs. A different perspective on the Jesuits, however, was offered by the late Malachi Martin, in his bestselling book, The Jesuits: The Society Of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Jesuits were born in 1540 as a very special “fighting unit.” The Jesuits “were conceived in a military mode.” The Order has had its ups and downs. Recently, according to Martin, himself once a Vatican insider, the Jesuits have been in subtle rebellion against papal authority. (But in the murky world of Vatican politics, who knows what is really going on?) By the 1970s, Nicaragua had developed into “a public and dramatic test case between Pope and Jesuits.”
“[T]he Marxist baby was at last wrapped in the very swaddling clothes of ancient Catholic terminology. Words and phrases laden with meaning for the people were co-opted and turned upside down.” (Martin, op. cit.) Jesuit priests actually served as high-ranking officials in Daniel Ortega's Communistic government.
A new concept of the Catholic Church had been born. The faith of believers would create communities. “Base Communities, they are called in Nicaragua and elsewhere in Latin America – communidades de base.” There are (or were, circa 1987) nearly 1000 Base Communities in Nicaragua alone, and nearly 300,000 overall in Latin America. This idea of Base Communities, also called “Gatherings,” has spread to the United States. (Martin, op. cit.)
Last year, when hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants “emerged from the shadows” for mass demonstrations here in the U.S., their organization was exceptional. The “spontaneous uprising” was extraordinarily well-planned. This editor especially marveled at how, in the small cosmopolitan city where is located the headquarters of Conspiracy Nation, Latino marchers were leaded by young women with bullhorns. Since the Hispanic culture is noted for its cult of machismo, how was it the marchers were under the leadership of young women? This was an obvious anomaly.
Who has the power to cause U.S. politicians to jump, contrary to the expressed opinion of a majority of Americans, outraged at secretive “immigration reform” legislation? F. Tupper Saussy would say the hidden force here would have to be the Jesuits. A popular anecdote from the Revolutionary War notes the timely appearance of a man called "the professor." This mysterious person appears at an opportune moment as elder statesman and diplomatist, crucially soothing disagreements amongst colonial leaders. That man, "the professor," was none other than Lorenzo Ricci, Superior General of the Jesuits, as shown by Saussy in his book, Rulers Of Evil. Ricci, not George Washington, is the true "Father of the country." (http://www.shout. net/~bigred/ Rulers.htm)
The Base Communities seem to have headed north, since their success in Nicaragua. There is some merit in their contention of exploited labor. This does not mean, though, that Marxist analysis equals Marxist validity. It is a tricky situation: The Church being with the people can develop into the Church being extinguished by Karl Marx. Politics makes strange bedfellows, but beware that Comrade sleeping beside you. When Pope John Paul II visited Nicaragua in 1983, the Sandinistas would not allow a crucifix to be displayed on the altar. When Pope John Paul II attempted to preach moderation there, he was shouted down by a cacophonous cadre of commie caterwauling.
It is okay for the Communists to make noise, but here in the U.S. there are rumblings against “hate speech,” which is apparently certain speech which Marxists don't like to hear. Reportedly, Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat, who is a co-author of the immigration bill, said talk show hosts were partly responsible for derailing it. In her many years in the Senate, Feinstein complained, “I’ve never received more hate or more racist phone calls and threats.” (http://autone. wordpress. com/2007/ 06/08/senator- dianne-feinstein -disses-free- speech/)
Amazingly, Trent Lott, a Republican, seems to favor shutting up average Americans rather than risk offending Marxist (and Jesuit?) sensibilities. “Talk radio is running the country. We're going to have to deal with that problem,” Lott reportedly stated.
What is truly behind the push for this “immigration reform” legislation? Opinions vary. Some say it is part of a New World Order plot. Others say heartless corporations are to blame. “Cunctando regitur mundus,” say the Jesuits. (“If you can outwait all, you can rule all.”) A 1962 Moscow-Vatican Pact forbids the Church hierarchy from directly condeming Soviet Communism or Marxism. (Martin, op. cit.) Into this vacuum arose an alliance between Marxists and Jesuits. Has that alliance, via Base Communities, entered the United States? Is this why we must “welcome the stranger”??
