John Adams Quote on Jesuits: Darkness, Despotism, and Eternal Damnation

"My history of the Jesuits is not eloquently written, but it is supported by unquestionable authorities,(and) is very particular and very horrible. Their (the Jesuit Order’s) restoration (in 1814 by Pope Pius VII) is indeed a step toward darkness, cruelty, despotism,(and) death. I do not like the appearance of the Jesuits. If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, it is this Society of (Ignatius de) Loyola." John Adams

"I do conscientiously and sincerely believe that the Order of Freemasonry, if not the greatest, is one of the greatest moral and political evils under which the Union is now laboring ... a conspiracy of the few against the equal rights of the many ...Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong - essentially wrong - a seed of evil, which can never produce any good." John Quincy Adams

"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." John Adams
