That Jesuits favor monarchy, we never
doubted. That their founder, Loyola, in
culcated the worst species Of despotism'
we always knew. That Jesuitism is the
same, in all lands and every cline, we firm
" believe. That Jesuits seldom avow
their real designs, is well known; but, that
the following epistle contains as muchtruth
as ought to beexpected fromsucha source,
we readily admit. Query: If Jesuitism
is such prop to monarchy in the Two
Sicilies, what is the order in this country!
Read and decide.
A curious quarrel has broken out at Ma
pies between the King and Jesuits. The
Neapolitan Minister of Police recently sent
for father Giuseppe, the head of the order
of Jesus, and informed him that he must
no longer teach the Revolutionary" doc
trine that the Pope is superior to all the
kings Of the earth The minister added,
that in l-48 the Jesuits had been sent out
of.he kingdom in ''coaclses." but if they
continued to teach such doctrines they
would be "hunted out with picksP' Faith
er Giuseppe. and twenty three others,
much. alarmed at the threat, have publish
ed statement protesting their entire de-
votion to the absolute monarchy of Ma
pies.
Letter Of the Jcsuits.
TO HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, FERDINAED H., OF
THE KINGDOM OF THE TWO sIcILIEs:
Sacred Royal Mtyesty.-Sire: With
much surprise we have heard our senti-
ments doubted regarding absolute mon
archy; we therefore think it necessary
humbly to submit our views in The present
page.
Majesty, we not only in olden times, but
also recently on our re-establishment in
1921, until the present day, have also i'll.
culcated respect, love and devotion for the
King our Lord, for his Government, and
for the form of the same-that is, absolute
t monarchy.
3 This we have done, not only from con
victons, but also because the Doctors 0
the company, who are francesca Saurez
the Cardinal Ballarmino, and many othe
: theologians and publicists ofthe same, hav'
e publicly taught absolute monarchy TO be th
: best form of government.
This we have done, becuase the interna
> economy of the company is monarchica!
e and therefore we are by maxim and by ed
It ucation devoted to absolute monarchy, il
I which Catholicism, by the wisdom an
e zeal of apious King, can alone have Sc
! cured defence and prosperity.
:. Majesty, that we both think, ,ana abcl;cvc
L and sustain that absolute monarchy is tn
, best of governments is demonstrated b
N the damage that we suffered in the yea
= 1849. We were the victims Of Liberia
ism, because all Liberals were and are we
- persuaded also that the Jesuits are the SUI
L. portcrs of absolute monarchy.
Ct These things, Oh! Majesty, are We
a. known and Liberals would more easily b,
c Iieve that the sun would not rise to-mo
low than admit that the Jesuits could fave
~ them, and therefore every time they attem
ell revolution their irst'objcct is to despc
n the Jesuits.
For this reason the Liberals, by an j
yiolable cannon of their law, will not a
nit jesuit, or one who is affiliated to Il
VI order, among them.
h, In fact, the Jesuits in the kingdom
al Naples have always taught it to be unpa
d. donable to make revolutions for the purpo

pie Ifthis should not be sufficient not to

ofI majesty to point out what further we oug
to do to be believed decided absolutsts
NO Certainly the Jesuts have never been
nd any time or in any place, accused of Lib
i'd alism, and what motive should they ha
for notloving and defending the absoll
Government of the august monarch Fer
