“The Jesuits, who arrogated to themselves the title of “Companions of Jesus,” and whose watchword was saintliness, were branded by their co-religionists as perjurers and murderers, and driven forth as unfit for civilized society. By their passion for domination and their moral laxity and double dealing, the Jesuits had incurred the wrath of Roman Catholics as well as Protestants; but one element which specially marked them out for the enmity, alike of monarchs and people, was their contempt for the principle of nationality. Of patriotism the Jesuits knew nothing, and national sentiment they despised, and this to at a time when in Europe, as the result of the break up of the holy Roman Empire, nation-making had made rapid progress.” ~ Hector MacPherson
