The first Jesuits were crypto‑Jews.

The first Jesuits were crypto‑Jews.   Ignatius Loyola himself was a crypto‑Jew of the Occult
     Cabala.   A crypto‑Jew is a Jew who converts to another religion and outwardly embraces the new
     religion, while secretly maintaining Jewish practices. As John Torell explains: "In 1491 San Ignacio de
     Loyola was born in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa, Spain.   His parents were Marranos and at the
     time of his birth the family was very wealthy. As a young man he became a member of the Jewish
     Illuminati order in Spain. As a cover for his crypto Jewish activities, he became very active as a
     Roman Catholic. On May 20, 1521 Ignatius (as he was now called) was wounded in a battle, and
     became a semi‑cripple. Unable to succeed in the military and political arena, he started a quest for
     holiness and eventually ended up in Paris where he studied for the priesthood. In 1539 he had
     moved to Rome where he founded the "JESUIT ORDER," which was to become the most vile, bloody
     and persecuting order in the Roman Catholic Church.   In 1540, the current Pope Paul III approved
     the order. At Loyola's death in 1556 there were more than 1000 members in the Jesuit order,
     located in a number of nations."
     Ignatius of Loyola's secretary, Polanco, was of Jewish descent and was the only person present at
     Loyola's deathbed. James Lainez, who succeeded Loyola as the second Jesuit General, was also of
     Jewish descent. Jews were attracted to the Jesuit order and joined in large numbers.   Lacunza was
     no exception. He was a Jew, which explains why he introduced the eschatological teaching of a
     return to the Jewish animal sacrifices during the Millennium.   (In a book titled The Coming of the
     Messiah in Glory and Majesty published in 1812, 11 years after the death of its author, Jesuit
     Emanuel de Lacunza who, wrote under the fictitious pen name of a purportedly converted Jew,
     Rabbi Juan Josaphat Ben Ezra, in order to conceal his identity and to make his writings more
     palatable to the Protestant readers. He promoted the writings of sixteenth century Jesuit priest
     Francisco Ribera, developing a futuristic perspective which restricted the prophetic fulfillments in the
     book of Revelation to the end of the world).   Lacunza also wrote that during a millennium after the
     tribulation the Jewish animal sacrifices would be reinstated along with the Eucharist (the mass) of
     the Catholic Church. Lacunza has followed after Jewish fables and replaced the commandments of
     God with the commandments of men. That doctrine gives the Jews primacy in God's plan and
     relegates Christians to a prophetic parenthetical to be supplanted by the Jews during the
     thousand year earthly reign of Christ.
