Ultramontane influence in France and Jesuit power
The article argues that the Roman Catholic Church in France is dominated by Jesuits and Ultramontane forces. It claims confession is practiced to extreme degrees, bishops control parish priests, and Rome wields power through a curia driven by Jesuit influence. It cites a 1872 cardinal letter urging clergy to mobilize for a Catholic election and warns England faces similar constitutional lag.
