'The existence of the Blood Oath has always been categorically denied by the Jesuits. And when this question was recently put to priests, brothers or lay spokesmen in five out of the 10 Jesuit Provincials in the United States, the existence of it was firmly denied, many saying they never heard anything about it.
Although the Blood Oath ceremony, as recounted by several former Jesuit priests including the late Father Alberto Rivera, is supposedly steeped in pagan rituals, one common element found is only three others are present for the ceremony, including the Superior or Jesuit General.'
