This is the Oath that the current Pope Francis swore before he became a Jesuit and there is no record that he has renounced this.
I_______________ , now in the presence of Almighty
God, the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the Holy
Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the saints, sacred host of Heaven,
and to you, my Ghostly Father, the superior general of the Society of Jesus,
founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, in the pontification of Paul the Third, and
continued to the present, do by the womb of the Virgin, the matrix of God, and
the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear that His Holiness, the Pope, is Christ's
Vice-Regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic or Universal Church
throughout the earth; and that by the virtue of the keys of binding and loosing
given to His Holiness by my Saviour, Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose
heretical Kings, Princes, States, Commonwealths, and Governments, and they may
be safely destroyed. Therefore to the utmost of my power I will defend this
doctrine and His Holiness's right and custom against all usurpers of the
heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Lutheran Church of
Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and the now pretended authority
and Churches of England and Scotland, and the branches of same now established
in Ireland and on the continent of America and elsewhere and all adherents in
regard that they may be usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother
Church of Rome. I do now denounce and disown any allegiance as due to any
heretical king, prince or State, named Protestant or Liberal, or obedience to
any of their laws, magistrates or officers. I do further declare the doctrine
of the Churches of England and Scotland of the Calvinists, Huguenots, and
others of the name of Protestants or Masons to be damnable, and they themselves
to be damned who will not forsake the same. I do further declare that I will
help, assist, and advise all or any of His Holiness's agents, in any place
where I should be, in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Ireland or America, or in
any other kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my utmost to extirpate
the heretical Protestant or Masonic doctrines and to destroy all their
pretended powers, legal or otherwise. I do further promise and declare that,
notwithstanding, I am dispensed with to assume any religion heretical for the
propagation of the Mother Church's interest; to keep secret and private all her
agents' counsels from time to time, as they entrust me, and not to divulge,
directly or indirectly, by word, writing or circumstances whatever; but to
execute all that should be proposed, given in charge, or discovered unto me by
you, my Ghostly Father, or any of this sacred order. I do further promise and
declare that I will have no opinion or will of my own or any mental reservation
whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will
unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors
in the militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ. That I will go to any part of
the world whithersoever I may be sent, to the frozen regions north, jungles of
India, to the centres of civilisation of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the
barbarous savages of America without murmuring or repining, and will be
submissive in all things, whatsoever is communicated to me.
I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make
and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants
and Masons, as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the
whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that
will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous
heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their
infants' heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the
same cannot be done openly I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the
strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless
of the honour, rank, dignity or authority of the persons, whatever may be their
condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed
so to do by any agents of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy
Father of the Society of Jesus. In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my
life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I
will subscribe my name written in my blood in testimony thereof; and should I
prove false, or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers
of the militia of the Pope cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear to
ear, my belly be opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that
can be inflicted upon me on earth, and my soul shall be tortured by demons in
eternal hell forever. That I will in voting always vote for a Knight of
Columbus in preference to a Protestant, especially a Mason, and that I will
leave my party so to do; that if two Catholics are on the ticket I will satisfy
myself which is the better supporter of Mother Church and vote accordingly.
That I will not deal with or employ a Protestant if in my power to deal with or
employ a Catholic. That I will place Catholic girls in Protestant families that
a weekly report may be made of the inner movements of the heretics. That I will
provide myself with arms and ammunition that I may be in readiness when the word
is passed, or I am commanded to defend the Church either as an individual or
with the militia of the Pope. All of which I,_______________, do swear by the
blessed Trinity and blessed sacrament which I am now to receive to perform and
on part to keep this my oath. In testimony hereof, I take this most holy and
blessed sacrament of the Eucharist and witness the same further with my name
written with the point of this dagger dipped in my own blood and seal in the
face of this holy sacrament.
