About This Book

A polemical historical study traces the origins and development of the Society of Jesus, examining its founding, institutional organization, and alleged practices, and documents its political interventions in Europe and beyond. The author contends that Jesuit discipline and moral theology support monarchist, politico-religious aims that jeopardize the separation of church and state, and surveys episodes under recent pontificates and Italian unification to illustrate efforts to restore papal temporal power. The text warns that adopting these politico-religious doctrines would imperil constitutional liberties and urges citizens, including Catholics, to resist ecclesiastical interference in civil government while maintaining freedom of private belief.
