For its part in the conflict,the Vatican ordered the forced immigration of Romanist Irish to one day swell the ranks of the Federal army for its struggle with the army of the Confederacy. At the same time,the Vatican employed the Jesuit Order—which Pope Pius VII had brought back into the Vatican’s good graces only years before the gathering of the Holy Alliance at Verona, Italy to both instigate and prepare the North and South for future war. Not unlike a great deal of history, the story that Wilcox recounts does not have a happy ending, nor, in this case, a final resolution because, since the close of the Civil War, the Vatican and Jesuit power have only grown, their control of the U.S. government only expanded, their covertness only deepened into the creature we all know as the "New World Order".
