A good study on the origins and workings of this secretive Catholic group, the "army" of the Pope, founders of many of the tactics used in secret services today, like the CIA of Mossad. It's important to note that they were created as a response to the protestant reformation. They certainly were behind many of the attacks on Protestant churches, and some believe they directed from behind the scenes the major dispute between Theodore Beza (representing John Calvin views) and Jacob Arminius, a dispute that lingers still today.
