- In 1733, an Irish clergyman, Samuel Madden, published a book called Memoirs of the Twentieth Century: an anti-Catholic diatribe in the form of letters from British officials living two hundred years hence. The Twentieth Century imagined by Madden resembles his own time in every respect except that Jesuits have taken over the world. The book was unreadable even in 1733. Madden destroyed almost all of the thousand copies himself. A handful remain.

| Maybe that wouldn't be too bad. Governor Jerry Brown is/was a Jesuit. Went to the seminary, even.

| If it's anti-Catholic, it can't be all bad. |
