Rome’s Spiritual Formation: Taming of the Soul

In Jesuitism, obedience to one’s superior is fundamental: “R. P. Rouquette writes boldly: ‘Far from being a diminution of man, this intelligent and willing obedience is the height of freedom… a liberation from one self’s bondage…’ one only has to read those texts to perceive the extreme, if not monstrous character of this submission of soul and spirit imposed to the Jesuits, making them always docile instruments in their superior’s hands, and even more from their very beginning the natural enemies of any kind of liberty.’ Paris, 26.

The Jesuits Move to Take Over the Formation of Spirituality

In the Counter Reformation Rome quickly saw that the training of the soul could not be left to the Word of God and the Holy Spirit as teacher, but that the hierarchy of the church must quickly gain control of the formation of the spirit so that the individual and nations would stay in the grip of Rome. That is where Spiritual Formation came from. Spiritual Formation is designed to use the Word of God in the service of the hierarchy to form the spirit of those in training to submission to the hierarchy.

The Spiritual Director Becomes Master of the Imagination and Will

In Spiritual Formation, the Spiritual Director becomes master of the initiate’s imagination, and uses the imagination to imbue the will with virtually irrepressible force in submission to the hierarchy of the church. Thus, the church and its hierarchy interposes itself, using the Spiritual Director, between the soul and God, and hijacks the formation of the will, the imagination, the conscience, and the spirit, so that these elements of the individual will not be taught by God, but will be directed and taught by the hierarchy of the church. This is one major reason why the Third angel’s Message warns against worship of the beast and its image. Submission in spiritual matters is real worship.

At the Diet of Worms, Martin Luther declared, “But when eternal interests are concerned, God wills not that man should submit unto man. For such submission in spiritual matters is a real worship, and ought to be rendered solely to the Creator.” –D’Aubigne, b. 7, ch 11.” GC 167.

Renovare = Renewal

“Renovare (the Latin word meaning ‘to renew’) is an infra church movement committed to the renewal of the Church of Christ in all her multifaceted expressions. Founded by Richard J. Foster…” –Foster and Griffin, Spiritual classics, xii

Renewal-The Way, the Truth, and the Life of Roman Catholicism

Renewal is a huge movement in Roman Catholicism. Driven by the Jesuits since the 1960s, the Renewal introduced the new pantheism of Jesuitism in the 1960s. “Renewal was the way, the truth, and the life of Roman Catholicism.” –Malachi Martin, the Jesuits. P. 251. “There were after all still two chief factions at the Congregation [GC31]:  the renewalists, whole emphasis was laid on the ‘renewal’ proclaimed in the name of the Second Vatican Council, and the traditionalists, who insisted that the real renewal that was badly needed was the renewal of the classical form of Jesuitism and the Ignatian ideal in the society itself.” –The Jesuits, 345.

“[Jesuit Superior General] Arrupe and his colleagues were deeply convinced that Gc32 [Jesuit General Congregation 32] had made a positive contribution-the contribution-toward bringing the ‘new mission’ of a renewed Catholicism’ into a ‘new world. GC32 pointed the way for Catholic Religious Orders and Congregations to bring the Roman Church out of its nineteenth-century ghetto, past its twentieth-century morass, and into the glorious perspectives of the drawing twenty-first century of men and women on earth.” –The Jesuits, 459.

Jesuits Create Trojan Horse to change the Sociopolitical Structure of the World

“Over a space of ten years, from 1965 to 1975-the first decade of Arrupe’s Generalate-the Society’s leaders constructed their Trojan horse in broad daylight, under the eaves of the Pope’s residence, as it were; and they aimed not at the capture of one paltry city, but at capturing the momentum of the entire Roman Catholic Church, and at changing the sociopolitical structure of the contemporary world.

Renewal Means Renewal of the Jesuit Mission in the Contemporary World

“As the Greeks decked out their Trojan horse with all that would impress the enemy, so the Jesuits clothed theirs in the trappings most likely to impress their contemporaries. Even the name they gave it-‘Renewal’-was an element in those trappings. Renewal of the Jesuit mission in the contemporary world, they said, was a necessary adaptation of the religious renewal demanded of all Catholics by the Second Vatican Council.” –The Jesuits, 476.

“Once in place, further enhancement of the renewed Jesuit mission was achieved by presenting it as a faithful prolongation of the self-same mission Ignatius of Loyola has assigned to his Company of Jesuits…[In Vatican II] the Church changed no doctrine. It changed no part of its hierarchically structured bishops and Pope. It abandoned not one of its perennial moral laws. It affirmed all.” The Jesuits, 477.
