Very interesting discussion in the comments! Is there anything in the quote bag to add to it?

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Revelation 18:23-24

pope ratzinger to the jesuits:

For this, I have invited you today to also reflect, in order to find again a sense of fuller obedience to the successor of peter, so that it does not only involve the cases of sending you on missions to far lands, but also - in the most genuine ignited spirit of 'feeling with the church and in the church' - 'to love and to serve' the vicar of Christ on earth with that 'effective and affective' devotion that must make of you the precious and irreplaceable collaborators in the service for the universal church. discorso di sua santita benedetto xvi al padri della ongregazione generale della compagnia di gesu

their directive:

I cannot too much impress upon the minds of my readers that the jesuits by their very calling, by the very essence of their institution, are bound to seek, by every means, right or wrong, the destruction of Protestantism. This is the condition of their existence, the duty they must fulfill, or cease to be jesuits. Accordingly, we find them in this evil dilemma. Either the jesuits fulfill the duties of their calling, or not. In the first instance, they must be considered as the biggest enemies of the Protestant faith; in the second, as bad and unworthy priests; and in both cases too, therefore to be equally regarded with aversion and distrust. g.b. nicolini, history of the jesuits: their origin, progress, doctrine, and design

their oath:

You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces and states that were at peace, and incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace. To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly in concert with your brother jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected; only that the church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means. ceremony of induction and extreme oath of the jesuit as seen in the library of congress catalog card number 66-43354

their tool ("learning against learning"):

Against the Bible's learning, which demonstrated how man could have eternal life simply believing in the facts of Christ's death and resurrection, would be put the learning of the gnostics. Gnosticism held out the hope that man could achieve everlasting life by doing good works himself. To put it succinctly, Bible-learning was Christ-centered; gnostic learning was man-centered. An enormous trove of gnostic learning had been brought from the eastern Mediterranean by agents of Clement VII's great-grandfather, Cosimo d'Medici. Suppressed since the Emperor Justinian had piously shut down the pagan colleges of Athens back in 529 A.D., these celebrated mystical, scientific and philosophical scrolls and manuscripts flattered humanity. They taught that human intelligence was competent to determine truth from falsehood without guidance or assistance from any god. Since, as Protagoras put it, "man is the measure of all things," man could control all the living powers of the universe. If elected and initiated into the secret knowledge, or gnosis, man could master the cabalah - the "royal science" of names, numbers, and symbols - to create his very own divinity. Cosimo had stored huge quantities of this pagan material in his library in Florence. Rulers of Evil P.23,240

their seat:

Julius Caesar was elected to the position of Pontifex Maximus in 63 B.C. He subsequently assumed the position of supreme ruler of the Roman state. Thus he had vested in him all the powers and functions of the Babylonian Pontiff, and he was the true legitimate successor to Belshazzar. Not satisfied with this, he was declared Jupiter's incarnation on 25th December 48 B.C. in the temple of Jupiter in Alexandria. Julius Caesar, by laying claim to be divine, followed the pattern of the Kings of Pergamos. The Roman Emperors that followed Julius Caesar were commonly regarded as gods. The Encyclopaedia Britannica

Pontifex Maximus! What a familiar title! The 25th of December! What a familiar date! Pergamos! Does Scripture speak of Pergamos?

And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. Revelation 2:12-14

Where is Satan's seat? Where do the remnants of babylonian priesthood find themselves? What is the title of their king? What is the meaning of the name Antipas?

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 2 Corinthians 11:3-4

Prophetic time has been closed since 1844, ending Daniel's two thousand three hundred day (year) prophecy in Daniel chapter 8. Now, people await the culmination of the three angel's messages into the loud cry of Revelation 14.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10
