We have been trying to thoroughly document the Jesuit’s operations at Moody Bible Institute, but now we have come across another avenue of Jesuit attack in Northfield, MA which has progressed almost to completion. The Jesuits have pretty much crushed the Christian community at Moody’s hometown Northfield Mount Hermon school and have replaced it with every form of worldly influence that could possibly be used to chase away the 2 | P a g e Christian families. Among the student clubs for “spirituality” are the Muslim Student Association, (Jesuit) St. Edmund Campion Catholic League, Mindfulness Meditation, New-Age Nature-Centered Belief Group, Atheist/Secular Humanist Student Group, and a literal student Interfaith Council. The school partners with the Gender Sexuality (Gay Straight) Alliance for a “safe space” for the LGBTQ community to develop there. This report uncovers one of the most painful effects of the Jesuits overthrowing some of Dwight Moody’s evangelistic community – the false doctrine and spiritual abuse of the Vatican being taught to children at Moody’s Northfield Mount Hermon (NMH) school. We need to diligently pray for the children and pray that God will bring to light the deeds done in secret by those who have changed Moody’s school. Moody established two inexpensive Biblical schools for poor and disadvantaged boys and girls to get a good education. In 1934, the hidden hand (presumed to be an inside job but no one was ever prosecuted) assassinated the headmaster, which allowed them to redirect the boys school closer to their desired interests of ivy-league business-minded culture. They merged the boys and girls into co-ed housing around 1971 after already breaking proper standards of trust which eventually led to fewer boundaries between boys and girls which developed conditions even for date rape and sexual harassment that was reported in a number of places including by the New York Times in 2000. There is quite a bit of bully and hazing culture and cliquish behavior (which should be limited at a Christian school) and drugs (a Ritalin market was named specifically) on campus. The F Word (that is the actual name) Student Club “promotes feminism and gender equity/equality”. The Model United Nations “sends student delegates to conferences in Qatar, Jordan, and Greece among other locations” through openly Jesuit partners who host the program at Jesuit Georgetown and at Jesuit-led University of Pennsylvania. And there is a Pokemon Trainers Association. After looking into the student club situation on campus, we literally had to check and see if it was a different school somewhere else or if it really was the same school that was founded by Dwight Moody, because there is absolutely no way his name could be attached to so much evil. How is it that no one removed his name from the school before or after all of this spiritual vandalism took place on the property for the last few decades? In 2005, the school was consolidated onto one half of the campus by intentionally cutting the student numbers by half excluded more conservative or lukewarm Christian families that remained. Then recently, after a series of Jesuit tricks and hand-offs, the Northfield side of the campus was given for free to Catholic Thomas Aquinas College and C. S. Lewis Study Center, while another dozen buildings are being turned into historic relics to the lost faith of Dwight Moody that Jesuits hope to let slowly fade out. Both of these institutions are in love with Thomas Aquinas whose “Thomist” doctrine is known (because of R. C. Sproul’s trickery) to be the catalyst for undoing the Protestant movement because Father Aquinas is supposedly the Catholic Father of Protestant doctrines – thereby eventually they hope to make Protestants a sub-group of Catholics. If we don’t thoroughly learn the lessons of this Jesuit program at Northfield, it is set to duplicate identically in Chicago. All of the pieces and sub-cultures and corrupt leadership and Jesuits are already in place at Moody Bible Institute. The Jesuits are having so much fun finally being able to tear up D. L. Moody’s efforts after waiting this long so as to not get caught. Their goal in America is to force all Protestant activity under the Pope and Rome – the rest who refuse to submit will be eventually mis-labeled “extremists” and removed from cities and regions, if Rome gets their way (Jesuit Donald Trump explained this in his meeting with 50 Muslim heads of state in Qatar). If you want proof that Donald Trump is a Jesuit agent of the Pope (who is also a Jesuit, by the way), have a look at this link: https://www.incpu.org/Updated-Trump-Jesuit-agent.htm It is the start of another Jesuit Inquisition (this process repeats all through the last 1700 years) – these are the guys who took over the Holy Office of Inquisition in the 1500s who before that directed the Crusades for the Holy Roman Empire as well as directing genocide and more modern eugenics strategies. These are the guys in charge of forcing conversions to Catholicism, then in charge of torturing and killing Protestants. They are in charge of using the militaries and “intelligence” agencies for world- wide wars called Crusades to engineer everything toward Catholic-led world government again. They were/are in charge of conquering the Holy Land to keep Israeli reunion from happening as long as possible and especially to keep honest Christians from partnering with honest Jewish people to be able to change the Vatican-appointed 3 | P a g e government in Israel that oppresses the Jewish people and true Christians. The totality of their goal is to be able to control how history gets taught around the world so that Christianity is only associated with the Vatican or with Freemason-led strange cults. And finally their job is to delete all opposition to their anti-christ one-world government plans. If you know your Bible, you recognize these will eventually be components of the Tribulation and the lawlessness that is already at work. But since the Holy Spirit hinders all of that, they are attempting to try the fullest experiment they can try in America first in order to work out the glitches in satan’s “Final Solution” (World War 2 Nazi Germany was a similar experiment to remove Jews and Christians in Europe) so they will be better “prepared” for the actual Tribulation. We believe God will not allow them to enact many parts of their Inquisition plans in America, but the Christians will need to walk diligently in truth to endure. This tragic partial demolition of Moody’s work at Northfield needs to be well understood before we are going to be able to fully catch the operations of these Jesuits who are destroying Moody Bible Institute and Theological Seminary. If you want to see what Jesuits do to Protestant evangelistic work, Moody’s Northfield Mount Hermon property is tragically a perfect example. They are training Protestant young Jesuits for partnership in the United Nations. And they replace evangelism with the “evangelism” of the Jesuits – forcing people to bow to the Pope. The following is not a perfect description, but it is our best attempt at reassembling the past in order to discuss the “progress” and process the Jesuits used to destroy the Christian culture in Northfield. The first part of the Jesuit attack on Northfield involved welcoming scoffing families who wanted to ruin the atmosphere and reputation of Northfield and Mount Hermon (when they were still separate schools – one for boys and one for girls). In 1934, they killed the boys’ school headmaster and blamed it on the conservative families (to silence their opposition to liberal agendas), which allowed them to redirect toward ivy-league business-minded schooling. Then they combined the campuses into co-ed teaching programs in 1971. Somewhere along the way, honest Christian families began to feel very uncomfortable about sending their children to this school and the decline continued until the “Christian” culture was broken and a bully culture increased among the leadership team and among the students.

Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

    APPENDIX A Educating to Truth, Beauty, and Goodness20 The world, in all its diversity, is eager to be guided towards the great values of mankind, truth, good and beauty; now more than ever…Teaching means to accompany young people in their search for truth and beauty, for what is right and good. Educating Today and Tomorrow: A Renewing Passion, 201421 We want our students to maximize their human potential and to both be good and do good in authentic freedom. In order to do this, our students need to be able to know how to wisely and fully apprehend and interrogate all aspects of reality from a solid Christian intellectual tradition. This intellectual tradition involves not just teaching facts and skills, but is also essentially focused on seeking to know the value and nature of things and in appreciating the value of knowledge for its own sake. One method of assisting students to keep focus on these aspects of Catholic intellectual inquiry is to use the lenses of truth, goodness, and beauty to evaluate a subject under consideration. These three elements are often understood as being among the transcendentals. Transcendentals are the timeless and universal attributes of being.22 They are the properties of all beings. They reflect the divine origin of all things and the unity of all truth and reality in God. These elements are among the deepest realities. They help unite men across time and culture and are often a delight to explore and discuss, because they are substantive to our very nature. The transcendentals of truth, beauty, and goodness are closely intertwined.

    Number 9 Catholicism on Campus: Stability and change in Catholic student faith by college type Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University Putting social science research at the service of the Church since 1964. CARA is a national, non-profit, Georgetown University affiliated research center that conducts social scientific studies about Catholicism and the Catholic Church. Founded in 1964, CARA has been affiliated with Georgetown University since 1989. CARA has three major dimensions to its mission: to increase the Church's self understanding; to serve the applied research needs of Church decision-makers; and to advance scholarly research on religion, particularly Catholicism. CARA’s longstanding policy is to let research findings stand on their own and never take an advocacy position or go into areas outside its social science competence. All CARA researchers have graduate degrees in relevant social science disciplines. CARA researchers are Georgetown faculty members and are active in the academic community publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting research about the Catholic Church at professional academic conferences. The CARA Inspiration: In pastoral care, sufficient use must be made not only of theological principles, but also the findings of the secular sciences, especially of psychology and sociology, so that the faithful may be brought to a more accurate and mature life of faith. —The Second Vatican Council Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium et Spes) Mary E.

    Chronicle- Who Is Catholic

    Who Is Catholic? New conservative colleges say existing institutions lead students away from the true faith By BURTON BOLLAG Naples, Fla. Colloquy Live: Read the transcript of a live, online discussion with David O'Brien, a historian of American Catholicism at the College of the Holy Cross, aBout the staunchly conservative Roman Catholic colleges that have Been recently estaBlished in the United States. Every evening at 9 o'clock a group of students and faculty members gathers between two four‐story student residences ‐‐ one for men, the other for women ‐‐ and sets off on a "rosary walk" around the former assisted‐living complex that serves as Ave Maria University's temporary campus, proclaiming the 20 mysteries of the life of Jesus Christ. At Ave Maria, Mass is celebrated three times a day, Latin is a required subject, and divorced Catholics are not welcome as faculty members. Opened last fall and currently enrolling 122 students, it is the best financed and the most ambitious of about a dozen new or planned Roman Catholic institutions of a very conservative bent. After a quarter century in which no new Catholic colleges were established, most of those being founded now are led by traditionalists who feel the majority of America's 230 Catholic colleges have strayed from the truth of the Catholic faith. The Rev. Joseph D. Fessio, a Jesuit and Ave Maria's chancellor, shares that view. He is bitterly critical of the University of San Francisco, the Jesuit institution where he taught for almost two decades, for such decisions as hiring a gay former priest as head of marriage‐and‐family counseling, and allowing students to stage the play The Vagina Monologues.

    VISITATION POLICIES AT U.S. CATHOLIC COLLEGES by Adam Wilson February 2016 Summary This study of campus policies at Catholic colleges in the United States finds that the vast majority permit students of the opposite sex to visit campus bedrooms behind closed doors until late at night—and on many campuses, visitation is allowed without any hour limitation. When compared to a selection of devout Protestant and nondenominational Christian colleges, a similar selection of Catholic colleges has more relaxed policies pertaining to opposite-sex visitation in student bedrooms.
