"Jesuits are a secret society which originated in Argentina. They are basically satanists whose goal is to infiltrate the church."

Wrong on all counts.

The Jesuits are the "Society of Jesus" founded in the 16th century by St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Peter Faber (the first two were Basques, and Faber a Frenchman): all of them every good followers of Jesus, outstanding missionaries, all canonized saints.

They are famed for forming a corps of educated elite within the Church, and in my view an intellectual elitism has led more than a few astray. Some (I think it's fair to say many, but not most) Jesuits of the 20th - 21st century went off the rails of sound doctrine. Nevertheless, there are some very sound Jesuits out there still: Fr. Joseph Fessio at Ignatius Press, Fr. Vince Pacwa at EWTN, the late Cardinal Dulles and s few others, good solid Catholic men.

Then there are others (including Pope Francis) who are --- not so much.

"Are you a good Jesuit . . . or the other kind?"

I was trained under Jesuits for my Ph.D in theology, as a Protestant - no less! I know many of them to be godly Christians. This nonsense of them being “satanic” is complete foolishness, but then again, this hatred against other churches is a staple of some on this forum.
