As a product of a Jesuit education, this is one of my favorite quotes from an American politician. No it’s not Barack Obama. Somebody a little older. Who said it?
I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits…. Shall we not have regular swarms of them here, in as many disguises as only a king of the gipsies can assume, dressed as printers, publishers, writers and schoolmasters? If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in Hell, it is this society of Loyola’s. Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration to offer them an asylum.

Alas that now the faith should be protected FROM Jesuits. Burn the bongos and guitars!

John Adams – He was a Unitarian. I’m certain he would be horrified at the direction his “church” has taken.

Adams is correct. You win but receive absolutely nothing! Congratulations.
