Looking for Lucifer
By J.M. Cameron
The Jesuits: The Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church
by Malachi Martin
Simon and Schuster/The Linden Press, 525 pp., $19.95
Malachi Martin wants to make our flesh creep. He thinks there is a Jesuit world conspiracy. Many have thought this, just as many have thought there was a Masonic world conspiracy or a Jewish world conspiracy. Such fantasies feed our desires for a world more marvelous, and more coherent in evil, than the commonplace world to which we ordinarily think ourselves to belong. What is singular about Martin's theory is that he holds that the object of the conspiracy is to corrupt and destroy the Catholic Church from within.
